When the El Al Boeing 707 landed in Tel Aviv, doctors rushed aboard and ambulances took away seven wounded pas- sengers. . THE EL AL PILOT, Yaacov Roman, told the control tower in Tel Aviv's Ben-Gurion Air- port four guerrillas were in- volved in the attack on the ter- minal building in Istanbul, sources at the airport in Israel said. The elderly and other" high- risk persons suffering from chronic diseases will not go to the head of the line, however, as had been planned originally, said Dr. W. Delano Meriweth- er. "WE DON'T HAVE that lux- ury anymore," he told the Washington Press Club. Time is growing short to im- munize the U. S. populatiombe- fore the influenza season, which normally begins in November and peaks between January- and mid-February, he said. When in full operation, he said, the program should be immu- nizing more than one million persons a day. Several months were lost be- cause the four drug companies making vaccine could not get liability insurance, and would not sell vaccine to the govern- ment without it. New legisla- tion, passed by Congress late Tuesday and expected to be signed by President Ford to- day, makes the federal govern- ment liable for alleged injuries and deaths but empowers the JusticemDepartment to counter- sue manufacturers and public health clinic doctors for negli- gence. "I DO NOT ANTICIPATE any more obstacles," Meri- wether said. Vaccine manufac- turers anticipate little trouble in getting negligence coverage now since the government will field all lawsuits and weed out baseless injury claims. About 120 million doses of vaccine have been manufac- tured in bulk form but it will take five to six weeks to pack- age it in bottles and vials, Meri- wether said. M ERIWETHER SAID the vaccine is 75 to 95 per cent effective in developing immun- ity against swine flu, more pro- perly called A-New Jersey in- fluenza because it was first de- tected last February among re- cruits at Fort Dix, N. J. The strain is believed to be similar if not identical to the 1918-19 flu epidemic that killed 20 mil- lion p e r s o n s worldwide and 548.000 in the United States.

Earlier in the day Bush presented Postill's bloodstained suit as evidence of injuries given the sheriff during the brawl. Although other witnesses testified that they saw blood on the sheriff's face and clothing when he entered the hall from the parking lot, Baysinger de- nied seeing blood until after he punched Postill in a later meet- ing. BUSH ALSO brought Baysing- er's attorney Jack Garris (pre- viously sequestered from the courtroom) to the stand in an attempt to prove that Baysinger had changed his version of the incident after consulting Garris. Postill will be called to testify today as a witness for his own defense. The hearing is expect- ed to continue through Friday when Judge Henry Arkison will decide if sifficient esidence has been found to bring Postill to trial.
