i id Thursday, June 9, 1377 THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER NIOSH Goal Study Ordered Before Any Decision On Site Disputed Engineer Quits Nego tia tion A verts Strike A strike, with Its picket line, would have created massive problems for the union tenants in the building just as did a 1975 strike, which also was called by Inman. SHEEHAN, WHO is the executive secretary-" treasurer of the Labor entered the picture. He met with the company Tuesday and he met with the company again Wednesday. After the meetings were over, Inman told The Enquirer. "The employers have agreed to negotiate for Jurisdiction, but they do not want Dave as the engi-' neer.

When Dave heard this, he quit. As long as they' are going to negotiate, there will be no strike." Sheehan said, "There will be a new contract' negotiated for the chief engineer in the person will not be the building manager, and that person will not be Dave (Webster). 7 "The new landlords will sign an agreement covering the two Janitorial personnel under the same conditions that exist now." Webster could not be reached for comment' 5 By MARVIN BEARD Enquirer Reporter The company agreed to negotiate over Jurisdiction, the engineer in question agreed to quit, and there will be no strike today at the old Railway Clerks Building. Thanks, in large part, to Cincinnati's Mr. Labor-William P.

Sheehan. THE RAILWAY Clerks Building, at 1015 Vine houses a number of the city's unions, Including the headquarters of the Cincinnati AFL-CIO Labor Council. It was bought recently by Stegeman Bros. and the company decided to fire Dave Webster, the building's chief engineer and manager for reasons described as economic. Webster belongs to Operating Engineers Local 20.

The business manager of the local, Stan Inman, called a strike for 6 a.m. today "If we do not settle our differences." Inman's local has its headquarters in the building. 70 of our top technical personnel If a move from Cincinnati would be disagreeable to them," Foster said. She said HEW teams would then inspect cities still in the running after these stages; cost would be a major factor In a final decision. Ohio congressmen and senators in the past have estimated It would cost $3 million to relocate NIOSH outside this city.

Additionally, $1.5 million was spent a year ago to draw up plans for a Cincinnati research headquarters complex in Corryville beside the Environmental Protection Agency building. A Washington source told The Enquirer Wednesday he expected such a sitestudy could take almost two years to complete. Foster countered that a complete study could be finished within six months of the time the board reports back to Califano. By TOM BRINKMOELLER Enquirer Reporter A new game plan to select a permanent home for research headquarters of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and i Health (NIOSH) Is the result of the government's rejection of the latest survey on the subject. NIOSH has operated temporarily In Cincinnati since Its Inception In the early 1970s; permanent location of Its research facility has been a political football for four years.

At issue not only is where to locate the research headquarters, but whether a new facility is needed at all. 1 SITE SURVEYS in 1973 and 1975 I named this city as the best for permanent headquarters. But pressures brought upon the U.S. Con-gress by Wisconsin and Pennsylva-' nla legislators who were anxious to bring the $50 million operation to their states resulted in the 1977 site survey. That survey, which placed Cln-; cinnatl last on a list of 12 possible sites, was the one rejected Tuesday by Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) Secretary Joseph Califano.

i According to an HEW aide, that rejection will not necessarily give birth to a fourth site Instead, Califano has ordered an evaluation of NIOSH goals to help him decide whether a new facility is even necessary. "The problem is that over the last six years not enough attention has been given to where NIOSH ought to be headed, and too much has been channeled simply towards the building of a new facility," said HEW aide Susan Foster Wednesday. She said Califano has appointed a board to be headed by Assistant Secretary for Health Julius Richmond to review thoroughly the NIOSH goals and report back to him by mid-September. THAT EVALUATION, she explained, will include a recommendation about whether to relocate the Cincinnati facility. She said the board's report will weigh projected NIOSH programs over the next five to 10 years against the practicality of a new building.

If the board decides a new facility is needed, the secretary would begin site selection under a new procedure allowing cities to compete for it, Foster said. The most radical change from the previous format, though, would be HEW's polling of the almost 500 NIOSH employees in Cincinnati about their opinions on relocation.

Brandenburgh said he hoped to have the cause and source of the May 28 fire determined before completion of the "on-site phase" of the state investigation.

Checking the ruins could be completed by Friday, or possibly even by this afternoon, he said. Determination of the source and cause of the fire Is "the crucial jumping-off point in determining why 161 people died," he said. That crucial determination will come only if the 14 men evaluating the evidence decide that their verdict does not need confirmation from laboratory tests, Brandenburgh said. State police continued sifting ashes by hand looking for personal belongings, evidence about the fire and the bodies of two women known to have been at the club but still missing. "We have been absolutely as thorough as we could be," Brandenburgh said of the search for the bodies of Judy Bohrer, Western Hills, and Mrs.

Evelyn Shough, Dayton, Ohio. "We started at the back of the building and came forward," he said. "We examined every square foot of it Every clamshell load and every bulldozer, blade has been examined by three or four people." Brandenburgh has said It was "possible" the two women's bodies were destroyed in the initial efforts to demolish the building. When no bodies had been found after the last inaccessible areas were opened, Brandenburgh left for a meeting with Campbell County Coroner Frederick Stlne. Stine spent Wednesday at the special morgue set up at St Luke Hospital, where two unidentified victims of the fire remain unclaim- 1200-RTX Automatic constant in all functions.

"I have been meeting since nine this morning with the FBI, state po-lice and Commissioner Brandenburgh, but we have made very little progress," he said.

Stlne has said he was "pretty sure" no mistakes occurred in identifying victims that have been released for burial. Both Stine and Brandenburgh were unavailable for further comment Wednesday night. Kentucky Attorney General Robert Stephens signed an order Wednesday permitting people filing suit against the club access into the burned-out club. The order "limits and clarifies" a directive from U.S. District Court Judge Eugene Slier Jr.

that gave Cincinnati attorney Stanley Chesley access to the disaster scene. Chesley has filed two $21 million suits on behalf of fire victims. Meanwhile, seven Beverly Hills Supper Club employees who survived the tragic May 28 fire have initiated a memorial fund for the relatives of fellow employees and others who didn't survive. The president of the nonprofit corporation, Byron Edmonds, 27, 272 Deverlill Ludlow, said the fund stems from concern for children of the former employees, but will hot be limited to the former employees and their relatives.

"Are they supposed to" drink water at a party?" she ctsked A further concern of Wittow's Is that young diabetics told they may not have much of the food nondia-betic children regularly consume might rebel, perhaps "to the extent that they throw everything out the window," and eat or drink sugar-containing food.

"It's Just a God-send," she said of saccharin. But Wittow hastened to add, "We're really not in favor of anything that causes cancer." Nonetheless, she also said that for a young diabetic's parent, diabetes is a far greater concern than potential cancer, given the child's life expectancy. "We're more concerned about the complications of diabetes, which are underrated, but they're not underrated to us," she said. THE JUVENILE Diabetes Foundation favors enactment of the bill by Rep. Paul G.

Rogers now before Congress, which would postpone the saccharin ban for a year to allow further study about its possible cancer-causing effects. "We'd like to see more research done to make this clearer," she said, objecting to the size of dosages, equivalent to 800 cans of soda per day in human terms, fed to mice to determine whether saccharin could cause cancer. She suggested that in a year's time a harmless substitute for the artificial sweetener might be found, or saccharin might prove to be less dangerous than originally thought. If It Is banned immediately, before a new sugar substitute is developed, "We in the meantime are going to be suffering terribly," Wittow said. By NICK ULANOV Enquirer Reporter Giving up the artificial sweetener saccharin raises the specter of an expanding waistline for many diet-beverage enthusiasts.

But for diabetic children and their parents, it would mean the end of a "normal" lifestyle. There is no substitute for saccharin-other than sugar-currently available, and without it almost all the snacks diabetic children eat with their friends and much of their regular diet would be off limits. "WE'RE USING saccharin in order to make food possible for these youngsters and not throw their blood sugar out of control," said Ellen Wittow, president of the Greater Cincinnati chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation and herself the mother of a 15-year-old who has been a diabetic for the last eight years. Juvenile diabetes is the more severe form of the disease and usually appears some time between Infancy and 30 years of age. Wittow estimates that there are some 80,000 diabetics in the Cincinnati area, of whom 10 to 15 are Juveniles.

The drug insulin helps treat diabetes but does not cure It or bring it entirely under control, so that stringent efforts to control the diabetic's diet to restrict the level of blood sugar are necessary. Faced with such a situation the young diabetic, whose life expectancy may typically be only 25 years, Is "surrounded and bombarded" by gum, gelatin, cookies, syrups, sodas and candies, Wittow said. UNTIL NOW the youngster had a partial answer. When his friend bought a soda he could buy a diet soft-drink, she said. With a ban on saccharin, that HEW!
