Supermarket owners in sev eral states said sales of grain goods were down because of the EDB ruling but added it was too early to tell the magnitude of the decline. The Environmental Protec tion Agency Friday ruled that EDB, ethylene dibromide, which has been used as a pesti cide and has been sprayed on a variety of grain products since 1948, be restricted to maximum levels of 900 parts per billion for raw grains and 30 ppb for ready-to-eat products.

"9itfn ■ Cooking eliminates up to 90 percent of EDB and has prompted federal officials to recommend lower levels for re ady-to-eat products. The EPA said its guidelines were intended to help each state set its own policy on EDB, which has been shown to be a powerful cancer-causing agent in laboratory animals. Massachusetts Monday banned the sale of 18 grain- based products containing EDB. The 18 products included eight Duncan Hines cake mixes as well as flour products from a variety of manufacturers. State agencies were also be ginning tests on EDB content in fruits and vegetables and will make the test results known later in the week, officials told UPI. One Natural foods distribu tor benefitting from the state ban was Richard Webb, presi dent of Mill River Flour and Grain Inc. in Williamsburg, Mass. “Some of the stores say they have experienced a two or three hundred percent increase in flour sales,” Webb said.

Webb said sales on the retail level were increasing. “The EDB (scare) has awak ened the public’s knowledge of what parts per billion are pre sent out there,” he said. “People seem to be rushing out to natu ral foods stores.” Confusion about EDB abounds, retailers and health officials told UPI. The New York City Depart ment of Consumer Affairs has been getting steady telephone calls from citizens asking about EDB, according to spokesman Gary Walker, but “certainly no panic.” Bud Stockwell, co-owner of Cornucopia Foods, a natural foods store in Northampton, Mass., said that he has had many questions from customers about whether his products have been tested for EDB. “It’s definitely a concern of our customers,” he said. “I point to the products that have been tested and say I’ve been as sured these products have no EDBs,” he said. Heinz Scheralis, manager of the Bread and Circus natural foods supermarket in Hadley, Mass., said he has noticed in creases in the sale of flour and grains this week. Baby doing well following operation i United Press International HOUSTON — A 7- month-old boy Tuesday was injected with his father’s bone marrow in an experimental operation doctors hope will cure him of a rare disease which prevents his body from wnich prevents his body trom naturally fighting infections. Terrance Allen Davis Jr. of Caldwell, Idaho, was in good spirits and good condi tion at Texas Children’s Hos pital after the 2 ’/^-hour-long procedure which doctor’s called the child’s only real chance to live. TJ, as he is called, suffers from Severe Combined Im mune Deficiency, a congeni tal condition in which he has no defense against infections. Dr. William Shearer, pro fessor of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine, said SCID exists at birth and is in herited in the chromosomes. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome — commonly called AIDS —harms the body in a similar fashion. TJ’s father, Terrance Da vis, 22, said the condition was diagnosed in his son in Jan uary. A hospital in California refused to admit the baby be cause Davis carried no insur ance, but a research center at Texas Children’s funded by the National Institutes of Health is paying for TJ’s op eration. Shearer said TJ has a “far advanced infection” in his cheek and nasal passages which doctors said could spread to his ^ye and brain. That infection, he said, made the bone marrow transplant mandatory. “TJ has a small but very real chance,” Shearer said. Bone marrow taken from the father was treated for 16 hours to remove all harmful bacteria and infused into the child. The baby immediately developed a high fever and had trouble breathing, but Shearer said both symptoms returned to normal within an hour. Davis, an uneraploij maintenance worker, Linda, 19, have been I the hospital and win id there until their son recoil Shearer estimated it coil take up to six monthsbe(«i| results are evident. “We are sticking t0( and keeping a positive*1 tude,” Mrs. Davis said.

Election officials expected about 35 percent of the city’s registered voters — about 110,000 people — to cast ballots in the special referendum to provide a low-interest govern ment loan for the steel mill. But voter turnout was ex tremely light Tuesday morning, with only about 10 percent of registered Cleveland voters going to the polls, officials said. They attributed the low turnout to an early morning snowfall that dropped an inch of snow on the city, but the snow had ended by noon. Polls were to close at 7:30 p.m. City officials said the mill would create 389 jobs vital to the recovery of economically depressed Cleveland, where un employment stands at 15 per cent. Union leaders, however, claimed the loan was an attempt to subsidize a firm that will use foreign steel and hire non union labor at low wages. City Council approved the $7.5 million loan last November for Bar Mill Croup Devel opment Inc., Muskogee, Okla., which said it cannot build the mill without the 8 percent loan. Steelworkers, with the sup port of other unions, forced a public vole on the loan through a successful referendum peti tion drive, marking the first time union officials have tried the ballot box to stop what they consider foreign competition. Mayor George V. Voinovich argued for approval of the loan, saying, “In addition to the 389 jobs ... there is something for the future. The failure would cast a shadow over the Greater / Cleveland area and lhais! would prevent ihelightd lure investment topeneiffil Frank Valenta, diram| District 28 of the Unitedi workers union, led the! against the loan andierael election a referendum af eign imports. “They (the voters) aitj up with the competition^ Japanese steel and f ports and are tired of died ting Americans out of wot!

Pennzoil on Monday asked the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to temporarily halt the merger, and requested an early hearing to make the order per manent. The judges took the request under advisement. Texaco, meanwhile, ex tended its tender offer until 7 p.m. Tuesday to purchase up to 28 million shares of Getty com mon stock for $128 per share. Texaco said it has under tender or contract more than 95 per cent of Cetty Oil’s 79.1 million outstanding common shares — some 75.5 million shares. The merger plan needs the approval of the Federal Trade Commission. Pennzoil was turned down by a judge in Tulsa, Okla., last weekend in its efforts to get a preliminary injunction to stop the merger. Pennzoil argued the deal would violate antitrust laws. despite Texaco's coni® Pennzoil shared few n® with Texaco, but said Fee had not proven it woul f damaged.
