?wire_ Eye drops need more tests HI ALTO, Calif. (AP) - A woman has been treated for severe eye burns after using eye drops that her doctor said contained high levels of acid. But law-enforcement authorities tested the drops today and said they were "perfectly normal." "We think it was a false report," said Police Chief rvayiiiuuu r armer, wno reporiea me preliminary test results. Another official, Juanita Jaronski of the San Bernadino County criminal lab, said it was too early to say if there was something wrong with the drops. "We've only done some preliminary checking, all they've done so far is check the Ph (the level of acidity) of the solution," said Ms. Jaronski, administrative assistant to the lab director. "Based on what we've determined, there is some acid in it (the solution), but the question is whether it has more than it should. We don't have any comparative figures from the manufacturer yet." Visine A.C. drops normally contain small amounts of acid. It was the second case of tainted over-the-counter medication reported in a week. Seven people in the Chicago area died after taking Extra-Strength Tylenol that had been laced with cyanide. n - - - * - neagan warns cat to register BIRMINGHAM, Ala, (AP) - At first glance, Omar Katz seems an unlikely prospect for a Republican get-out-and-vote campaign. After all, he's only 5 years old and can't read. He's also a cat. Yet Omar Katz was one of many Jefferson County residents to get a letter recently signed by President Reagan, exhorting him to perform his civic duty and register to vote. Sent out by the Alabama Republican Party, the letter oegan wnn "uear b ellow American" and bemoaned the fact that many people don't vote on election day. Omar's owner, Jan Lewis, was at a loss to explain how Omar made the mailing list. "I have no idea how they got his name on their list," Ms. Lewis said. "I didn't even get a letter. He was preferred over me. "But since the president is so concerned about him, I'll do anything to help. I figured I'd take him down (to the courthouse) and sign him up," she said.
