Allen Questrom BY CHRIS GRAVES The Cincinnati Enquirer City officials and police administrators agree that Cincinnati needs changes in its policing practices to mend broken relations with the community. But there is more bickering than accord when they talk about sources of money to support the Community Oriented Policing (COP) program, which begins today. On one side: Police Chief Lawrence Whal-en says the city must give his division more money to continue the program, which places 35 officers into neighborhoods to work with residents before crises erupt. Residents want police out of their cars and on the pavement, Whalen said, and there's no inexpensive way that officers can patrol on foot, get to know the neighbors and attack conditions that contribute to crime. On the other side: Mayor David Mann and most council members say Whalen must look into his $57 million annual kitty to finance the program.

"If COP is so vital and such a significant part of policing, maybe it is more important than the other things the police are doing in their $57 million budget," Mann said. "Why not scratch the mounted patrol? Do we really need officers serving subpoenas?" (Please see PATROLS, back page, this section) Clermont's community police program, Page A-5.

Baker also expects refusal from Israel ENQUIRER NEWS SERVICES CAIRO, Egypt Syrian President Hafez Assad refused to budge on two key issues Saturday, raising grave doubts about a proposed Middle East peace conference. The six-hour talks with Secretary of State James Baker in Damascus were so unproductive that the two men canceled the usual post-meeting news conference between the secretary of state and Foreign Minister Farouk Sharaa.

It's one of the first things the new University Hospital boss asked for when he took over 2'2 months ago he wanted to get to know his competitors right from the start. The map, with most pins clumped together in the Corryville "Pill Hill" area, shows exactly what White calls the "Field of Dreams theory" of hospital management: Build it, and patients will come. That concept may have worked for Hollywood, he said, but it's no longer a hit in his business. "For too long, we've seen ourselves as places where people are just brought and we do our thing," he said. "That just doesn't work anymore.

We've got to decide now what the needs are, and where we can get the biggest impact, for our money. That's reality." A hospital administrator in Cleveland for 17 years before becoming University Hospital's president and chief executive officer in February, White jokes about leaving a city with losing sports teams "The Browns are down the tubes, so I figured I'd get out of town." What he is serious about is creating what he calls a vision for University Hospital. He will be wrestling with the same problem as 100 other academic health centers nationwide: How do you effectively juggle three missions patient care, education and research and still be the caretaker of most of the area's indigent people? "It is very complicated," White said. "Some places just say, 'We do patient We can't do that. We have to be patient care, education and (Please see HOSPITAL, back page, this section) Baker itinerary Today: Meets with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

However, after arriving in Cairo for meetings with Soviet Foreign Minister Alexander Bessmertnykh and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Baker sounded an optimistic note.

"I don't think we reached an impasse that cannot be bridged," he said. The negotiations are snagged on Syria's demand that the United Nations play an important role in the proposed conference and that the meeting must be able to reconvene from time to time to mediate disputes between Israel and the Arab parties. Israel rejects both points. After the Damascus failure, U.S. officials began talking about possibly convening a peace conference without Syria and trying instead to work with Jordan, the Palestinians, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the five gulf emirates.

Another option under consideration is to call a conference on water resources and other regional problems with the hope of expanding it into negotiations over the Arab-Israeli dispute.
