panies were reluctant to make 200 mil-
lion doses unless there was some guar-
antee that they could sell them.
"YOU CAN'T order business to make
a product, they have a responsibility to
their stockholders," he said. "The com-
panies make what they think they can
sell."
Davenport said the election year "may
have accelerated the decision." and that
if this program were needed in a non-
election year "Congress would have de-
bated and time could have run out."
Trial doses of vaccine have already
been made and are in the process of
being tested, for this, the largest innocu-
lation program ever attempted. Dasen-
port said it is not yet known whether
the vaccine works or if the industry will
be willing to go through with production.
But, he projects innoculations will start
by August for "high risk" persons, elder-
ly and women in the last trimester of
pregnancy.
Davenport maintains total faith in the
lu plan
industrial capacity of the four major drug
manufacturers and is convinced that once
production moves into high gear the tar-
geted 200 million doses will be met. Prior
to this, 50million vaccinations was the
highest ever attempted.
Part of the $135 million needed to make
the vaccine available on this scale will
go to chicken farmers for eggs, which
are needed to produce the vaccine. Both
egg and chicken prices may rise as a
result of the amount of vaccine being
produced.

Reps debate State drinking ac
LANSING (UPI) - The
sponsor of two bills that would
raise the legal drinking age
back to 2t said yesterday that
two Democrats are deliberate-
ly blocking action on them, de-
spite growing support from
other lawmakers.
"I've recently received word
from Rep. Paul Rosenbaum,
chairman of the~Judiciary Com-
mittee, that he feels the bill is
unconstitutional," said Rep.
Melvin DeStigter (R-Allendale).
"REP. Stephen Stopczynski,
who chairstthe Liquor Control
Committee, refuses to put these
bills on the committee agenda
for consideration. In fact, the
liquor committee is not meet-
ing on a regular basis so that
those members who want to
consider these two bills can
bring them up for discussion.,"
DeStigter called the claim
that the proposals are unconsti-
tutional "a weak argument
against bringing them up for
discussion."
Since the two bills were in-
troduced, they have gained the
support of law enforcement
agencies and school groups.
"The legislature has the
power to establish the levels at
which people pay taxes, drive
automobiles, work, vote and
drink," DeStigter said. "If we
had the authority to lower the
drinking age in 1972, we have
the authority to raise it in
1976."
THE DRINKING age was
dropped to 18 after the state's
voters approved a constitution-
al amendment lowering the age
of majority from 21 to 18..
"All I'm asking is that the
bills have their full day in court
-a full and fair hearing so
that people on both sides of
this issue can be heard," De-
Stigter said.
"I'm convinced that the two
bills can stand on their own and
arguments for raising the
drinking age will overshadow
arguments against the propo-
sal."
DESTIGTER said he thinks
the liquor lobby has prevented

the bills from coming
debate.
"Since the drinking
lowered to 18 by the le
in 1972, the number of traffic
accidents involving drinking by
those between 18 and 21 have
increased," he said.
"There also have been prob-
lems in schools resulting from
drinking, including making al-
coholic beverages more easily
obtainable by 15 and 16-year-
olds."
