Sen. Richard Finan, R-Cincinnati, who heads a House-Senate committee looking into the state's savings and loan crisis, said the decision apparently puts 1 i I OFF GIRLS' ASSORTED SANDALS Choose from a variety of styles in ass't colors.

"From what I know right now it would appear that we are further down on the priority list," Finan said. But Robert McAlister, the state's superintendent of savings and loans, said that may not be the way the situation ultimately turns out. "That's kind of a preliminary guess people have taken. I don't really think it plays out that way," McAlister said. He described the judge's ruling as being more of a decision on the form of the bankruptcy proceedings.

"I think really what is down the pike is (the) more important consideration, whether or not the Home State claims are going to be subordinated to (those of) other people," McAlister said. "I think, in terms of our position in the thing, that Thursday's decision probably would not play out to have any real long-range effect on the claims one way or the other," McAlister said. "It's going to be a very protracted kind of thing before you really get to that stage of the game." Finan said he never had expected that ESM Government Securities Inc. would be a major source from which the state might recover its investment of $120 million in public money to rescue the old Home State Savings Bank. "I have never believed that we were going to get a large portion of our money back from ESM or anything down there," he said.

"I don't think that's our pocket. I think we have better lawsuits against other people such as accountants and things like that who dealt directly with Home State." A federal judge in Florida ruled last week that securities customers of ESM would get first shot at the firm's remaining assets because the company met the legal definition of a stockbroker.

FOR HOKE DELIVERY CALL 387 0400 use Sentenced to die HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) Rhett DePew's death-penalty sentence for lulling a woman and two children drew applause from courtroom spectators, but a defense attorney claims DePew was denied his constitutional rights. Butler County Common Pleas Judge John R.

Moser on Tuesday sentenced DePew to be executed in Ohio's electric chair on Nov. 23 the first anniversary of the fatal stabbings of Teresa Jones, 27, her daughter Aubrey, 7, and Elizabeth Burton, 12, Mrs. Jones' sister. Under Ohio's death penalty law, the conviction and sentence of the 31-year-old Oxford Township man will be appealed automatically. The jury which convicted DePew had recommended Friday that he be sentenced to die, but Moser could have imposed life imprisonment instead.

Mrs. Jones' husband, Tony, who returned home from work last Nov. 23 to find his house on fire and his family slain, said he was satisified with the judge's decision, adding: "It's been a nightmare." Madge Burton and her husband, J.C., who lost two daughters and a granddaughter in the slayings, said the sentence was appropriate. "I want him on death row," Mrs. Burton said.

But DePew's lawyer. Jack Garret-son, criticized Moser's ruling, saying: "We're left with an eye for an eye, no matter what the law calls it." Checking 2 bodies COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Two more bodies will be exhumed as part of the local investigation of Dr. Michael Swango, a -former Ohio State University Hospitals resident convicted of poisoning co-workers in Illinois. Assistant Franklin County prosecutor Edward Morgan on Monday refused to identify the bodies to be exhumed for autopsies, but said a full public report would be issued if the autopsies do not result in indictments. Swango, 30, was convicted last month in Quincy, 111., in the non-fatal poisonings of paramedics he worked with in Illinois.

A July 12 hearing is scheduled on his motion for a new trial. Morgan said the bodies to be exhumed are those of people who were patients at University while Swango worked there from July 1963 to June 1964. He would not say what the patients were being treated for, or why their deaths are being questioned. No autopsies were performed on the patients when they died, Morgan said. Earlier, Franklin County Coroner William Adrion ordered the exhumation and autopsy of the body of Rein Walter, 43, of Galloway, who had been treated by Swango.

The autopsy showed Walter died of heart failure due to pneumonia and found no traces of any poison. Museum gets jet COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) A Wilmington air express firm has donated a Caravelle VI jet airplane to the Ohio History of Flight museum at Port Columbus International Airport. A museum spokesman said the only other museum in the United States with such an aircraft is the New England Air Museum. Airborne Express Inc. of Wilmington donated the plane, bought second-hand in 1979 and retired from active service in 1984.

The Caravelles were made in France and were the first twin-engine commercial jet aircraft. They also were the first jet aircraft with aft-mounted engines, museum officials said. OHS seeks church COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The Ohio Historical Society is looking for a church. The society has asked through its fund-raising Ohio Historical Foundation for a church building. It should be a gift and be at least 100 years old, preferably dating from the 1850s.

Failing that, the society would accept funds to build a new church building in an authentic 19th-century style. The society wants the church to complement other buildings in Ohio Village, a recreated 1850s rural Ohio town constructed on grounds of the Ohio Historical Center. One dies in crash CAMBRIDGE, Ohio (AP) An Indiana woman was killed and her husband seriously injured in a car-truck crash on Interstate 70 near this eastern Ohio city, the state highway patrol said. Troopers said Mary Nell Warner, 54, of Warsaw, was killed in the 1:48 p.m. Monday crash.

Her husband, Chester, was injured when their car was crushed between two tractor-trailers. Troopers said the couple's car was behind a slow-moving truck when it was struck from behind by another tractor-trailer. I There's a new day dawning In surgical care and you don't have to stay overnight to monitor how effectively outpatient surgery is being used, we all can make the best of available information to benefit from it. That's the story of outpatient surgery. It's a turnaround in the and technology.

We want to keep a good trend going for you. So here are our suggestions. If you're a patient, consider getting a second opinion when your doctor suggests surgery. And don't hesitate to ask: "Is this the kind of procedure I can have as an outpatient?" If you're in hospital management, you want to continue to bring our outpatient surgery guidelines to the attention of your medical staff asking them to weigh each case in which a patient might be a candidate for outpatient surgery. If you're a physician, consider every potential use of outpatient surgery for your patients when it can work as well or better than an Inpatient stay.

If you're an employer, make certain your health care program has built-in Incentives to use outpatient surgery and other outpatient benefits. Keep reminding your people to make the most efficient use of these benefits. After all, your daily contact with them gives you a communications advantage nobody else has. Meanwhile, well keep working with you and all the other members of the team to keep the cost of health care affordable. And well work hard to keep our present and future customers aware of their ever expanding role in health care cost containment.

We feel, of course, our first responsibility is to our customers. Yet our work for them also paves the way for more cost-effective health care for everyone. It even benefits our competitors. That's part of the price of being the leader. way hospitals now treat surgical patients.

Advances in technology and treatment patterns help move patients safely through surgery and out the same day. You can see it in the steady decline in inpatient admission rates for surgery and the equally steady increase in outpatient surgeries. That's something we want to happen. Because costs are a whole lot less for the insurer AND the patient. And the patient finds he or she often saves time, too, on recovery.

You see, Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Central Ohio and volunteer groups of physicians are working together on the challenge of niaintaining the highest quality of care while delivering that care more cost effectively. Thus, doctors are finding ways to safely turn inpatient surgery into outpatient surgery getting more people safely out of the hospital quicker. That doesn't really explain why our experience is better. Why our members get care at a lower cost than the rest of the people throughout Ohio or the entire North Central tier of states. That's the rest of our story: First, we've structured our coverages so it's to the financial advantage of the patient to use the kind of surgical setting that costs least with the agreement of the doctor, of course.

That helps our customers become more cost conscious. And it helps their physicians become more sensitive to patients' concerns about the price of care as well as its quality. Second is our reliance on physicians' panels. With them, we jointly review and update the constantly growing number of surgical procedures that can be done on an outpatient basis. The procedures and the guidelines recommended by physicians' panels then come under our medical necessity review program Because we work directly with hospitals and their medical staffs Blue Cross Blue Shield In Central Ohio Registered Marks of Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association..
