Concerning the vaccine and pregnant women, officials said probably no problem will arise. Officials of the national Center for Disease Control and the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Sciences met Tuesday to discuss the planned massive flu immunization program. i The officials discussed a proposed informed consent form to be required of each person receiving the vaccine at public clinics.

The form is intended to insure persons vaccinated are aware of the risks and benefits of immunization and to outline what rights and recourse the public has should something go wrong with the program. Commission member Patricia King, associate professor of law at Georgetown University, objected to the statement in the form that "flu vaccine can be taken safely during pregnancy." CDC Associate Director Dr. H. Bruce Dull said there is little conclusive data on the effect of flu or flu vaccines on pregnant women, but "what data we do have does indicate there is no danger to the mother or the fetus." The Public Health Service Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, in a study released last month, said that "women who are pregnant should be considered as having essentially the same balance of benefits and risks regarding influenza vaccine as the general population." punitive damages and restoration of pay and a position she alleges she lost unjustly.

District Court in St. Louis said today. The nonjury trial arising from a suit filed by Nadine Eddington ended Thursday before Judge John Regan.

The trial started Monday. Ms. Eddington is asking for $100,000 in Ford, Carter (Continued from page 1) Carter and Senator Mondale." The GOP campaign, said Dole, would be "very lofty." Ford's challenge for a debate with Carter which Carter accepted was a surprise and was against the advice of some of his advisers. But bis chief of staff told reporters this morning it was the best way to defeat Carter. "Beating Carter in a head-to-head debate is the best way to help President Ford's campaign now," said Richard B.

Cheney. He said the President's knowledge and experience, plus the limit on campaign spending, made the debate desirable from the President's point of view.
