W'e can never desert. We can never abandon. We can never surrender P ATCO to uui enemies in the White House, said John Henning, head of the California Labor Federation. Henning said Reagan, a former president of the Screen Actors Guild, "betrayed his origins and lie betrayed the movement from whence he came. In Geneva, Switzerland Thursday, an International Labor Organization committee dismissed charges that the Reagan administration violated trade union freedom of association principles by its action. The complaint had been filed by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, with the support of the AFL-CI- The ILO noted that strikes by U.S. federal employees are prohibited by law and that air traffic control is an essential service like the hospital sector. It can therefore not uphold the allegation that this action by the government constituted a violation of the principles of freedom of association," the decision said. But the ILO criticized Reagans action against the strikers, saying it cannot be conducive to the development of harmonious industrial relations. Poli, who received scattered applause when he was introduced, but a standing cheer when he concluded brief remarks, said his union members "have suffered, suffered greatly." Reagan ordered the dismissal of the air controllers who began an illegal strike Aug. 3 against the Federal Aviation Administration. The union was subsequently decertified for the action, but is appealing to a federal court. "Our people have been blacklisted," Poli said. "Uur people have been harrassed, intimidated, but they have not buckled and we are still strong." A resolution passed without dissent by the delegates cited "brutal punishment by the administration against the conti oilers. But another resolution calling for a "national day of support was not "New York cant sleep tonight, wondering what the stock market will open at Monday. Radio will just have its usual amount of static over the weekend, steel wont receive any new orders during Sunday, the big stores will have peddled nothing smee Saturday, yet they will all change prices on Monday on the exchange.

Despite Side Effects Elderly, 111 Need Flu Shots We certainly do not want to suggest, and I dont think there is any reason to suggest, that people not take immunization, Brink said. ' the However, he said anyone taking prescription drugs should alert his physician if he plans to have a flu shot. About 22 million Americans will receive flu shots this year, health experts say. The government recommends tne shots be taken by anyone over age 65 as well as people suffering from chronic illnesses, such as lung, heart and kidney ailments. The shots are also suggested for people using drugs that suppress the immune system. For these people, influenza can be a serious illness and can lead to other disorders, such as pneumonia. If people who are taking drugs notify their physicians before taking influenza immunizations, Over the next couple of weeks, the physician can watch them for side effects that could be associated with overdoses of the drugs that they are on, Brink said.

In a report published Thursday, researchers disclosed that ordinary flu shots can cause potentially serious overreactions to certain common prescription drugs. But Dr. Edward W. Brink at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta said, We think we have very good vaccines and that they prevent illnesses that are going to cause much more morbidity and mortality than givmg the vaccine.
