Plastic Bags Take Lives of 79 Babies So Far This Year House Factions at Odds Over Labor Reform Bill; Substitute Measure Being Drawn Up Washington (DPD House factions engaged in a tug of war today over the latest version of a labor reform bill. Reps. Phil M. Landrum (D Ga.) and Robert P. Griffin (R Mich.) told a press conference they are shaping a substitute measure to be offered when the House takes up the pre sent bill. Landrum and Griffin said their proposal would toughen up the measure. Both said they voted in favor of the committee bill simply to get some sort of proposal before the House. Democratic liberals, mean while, were trying to pull the bill in the opposite direction. They f ayor elimination of cer tain provisions which they claim would penalize legiti mate unions rather than clean ing up rackets.

The industry warned that the plastic should never be used as makeshift covers in cribs or playpens or for mat tresses or upholstery and should never be given to chil dren as playthings. The bags should be torn or tied in knots and discarded. Manufacturers have urged Congress not to pass hasty laws against plastic bags Spokesmen for the industry say education, not legislation, is the answer to the problem. Fifteen states and ten cities have considered legislation against the bags.' Suffocations Similar The suffocations have been strikingly similar. Many have occurred when the plastic has been placed in cribs to protect mattresses. The victims have died when the thin film clung to their faces, shutting out air. ' However at least two ba bies have suffocated when plastic other than the kind used for packaging cut off their breathing. One of these deaths occurred Tuesday at West Haven, Conn., when stat ic electricity drew the plastic lining of a car crib against an infant's mouth. The other happened in New York June 23 when the plastic surface of a mattress cover adhered to an infant's face. Alabama Youth Hurt in Crash Rudolph S.
