MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1980- THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR -PAGE 5 imilGRATIOM GIYISG PRIORITY TO THEM, CUBAS Officials Estimate 12,000 Iranian Students Still In U.S. Illegally H.r. TIMM HIWI SERVICI Washington Immigration officials estimated Sunday that 12,000 of the 70,000 Iranian students still in the United States are here illegally. Verne Jervis, a spokesman for the Immigration and Naturalization Service, said that about 2,000 Iranian students had been ordered to leave the country after formal deportation hearings. Another 10,000 await deportation hear-ings, Jervis said.

They have been accused of violating the immigration law, 'the terms of their visas or the special reporting requirements imposed on Iranian students by the Carter administration last fall after the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. JERVIS AND David W. Crosland, acting commissioner of the INS, discussed the status of the Iranian students in separate interviews. After identifying Iranian students suspected of violations, district directors and investigators in the immigration agency serve them with orders to show cause why they should not be deported.

Immigration judges then hold hearings in which the government has the burden of proving, by "clear, unequivocal and convincing evidence," that the alleged grounds for deportation are factual. Crosland said that the time for a deportation hearing varied from IS or 30 minutes to days and sometimes even weeks. He said he had no firm estimate of how long it would take to complete hearings for the Iranian students. CROSLAND SAID the Iranian student cases are being given priority across the country, but so are cases involving Cuban refugees with criminal backgrounds. On June 7, President Carter directed the Justice Department to move quickly to expel Cuban refugees who had committed "serious crimes" in Cuba.

Crosland said that 2,000 Cubans were going through expulsion hearings in fed eral prisons at Atlanta, Tallaega, Leavenworth, and McNeil Island, Wash. He said more than 230 Cubans have been ordered to leave the country, but none has left, apparently because President Fidel Castro of Cuba still refuses to take back any of the refugees. Six of the 40 to 45 immigration judges are working full time on Cuban cases, Crosland said, and 20 Justice Department attorneys have been "deputized" as immigration judges to help with the case load. JERVIS AND Crosland said that many of the Iranian students threatened with deportation were taking advantage of their right to appeal. They may ask for a review by the Board of Immigration Appeals, the U.S.

Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court. About 430 of the Iranian students actually have been deported, Jervis said. Another 5.000 have left the United States voluntarily, he said. The INS does not have a foolproof way to keep track of departures, however. Foreign students who left without turning in their travel documents or who crossed the border into Canada or Mexico might not be counted.

Jervis said that 59.000 to 60.000 Iranian students had registered as thev were supposed to do in the last six weeks of last year. Immigration officers since have located another 2.000. Jervis and other officials estimated that there were i 8.000 to 10,000 Iranian students whose whereabouts in this country were un- known. CROSLAND SAID the INS probably 1 would issue new regulations "tightening up control" of all foreign students by the end of the year. He said the rules probably will require colleges and universities to report oq their foreign students once, twice or perhaps four times a year.

Nursing Home Industry Rips Government's Cost Estimate July 9, Nathan J. Stark, the undersecretary of health and human services, estimated that they would cost about $71 million or 15 cents per patient day. But the nursing home industry's study, prepared by Applied Management Sciences and released last week, projects an annual minimum additional cost of $534.8 million or $1.35 per patient day. First-year startup costs would be $52 million more $586 million because of the need to train personnel, the study said. FEDERAL AND STATE governments would pay 70 percent of the extra expense.

But nursing home patients who do not receive government assistance would have to bear 30 percent of the burden, the study added. Stark estimated that 18,000 skilled nursing homes and intermediate care facilities would be affected by the regulations. More than 1.3 million older citizens receiving Medicare or Medicaid live in homes covered by the proposals. THE NEW REGULATIONS would expand patient rights to allow free association with visitors and other patients and such former "privileges" as sharing a room with one's spouse. Other patient rights which would be guaranteed include personal privacy; access to one's own medical records; access to an ombudsman and other advocacy services.

Washington (AP) An analysis financed by the nursing home industry claims the government underestimated by more than $500 million the cost of implementing proposed regulations for nursing homes receiving Medicare and Medicaid. The regulations are aimed at improving the quality of care given the 2.2 million patients who live in these institutions whether they receive government assistance or not. Many of the proposals are designed to safeguard the patients' psychological welfare, in addition to their physical well-being. The study was prepared for the National Council of Health Centers and the American Health Care Association, two organizations involved with the nursing home industry. Both organizations argue that the cost of the changes may outweigh benefits.

THEY MAINTAIN THAT the proposed regulations ignore a serious nursing personnel shortage, enforcement problems which could arise and financing aggravated by what they describe as an inadequate federal-state reimbursement system. They point out that some states already have begun cutting back on their Medicaid contributions, citing budget limitations.

grassy areas from a lying-down position," he said, referring to an area outside the motel. "What we think we have is one guy who lay down in three different areas trying to get the best angle." Exactly why Jordan was shot is a "mystery." Davis said, because "Vernon is pushing the system like hell, but not from a standpoint of radicalism, as we used to know in the late '60s." Jordan is neither the most prominent black leader in America nor an "irritant" as Davis described it, such as a Jesse Jackson. Jordan is recovering from the rifle wound in his back and recently was released from a New York City hospital. A product of Harlem and a onetime star athlete at the University of Connecticut, the 42-year-old Davis is one of only two black special agents in charge in the FBI. Praised by colleagues for his crime-fighting work, Davis also has been credited with restoring order and confidence in the local office, which was mired in controversy and dissension before his arrival a year ago.

One of the FBI's pioneer black agents has found the shooting of a black civil rights leader to be perhaps the stiffest challenge of his 17-year career. Wayne G. Davis, special agent in charge of the Indianapolis FBI office, heads the investigation of the sniper attack on national Urban League Director Vernon E. Jordan at Fort Wayne which occurred nearly four months ago. aware of the pressure there is to solve this Davis told The Washington Post in a copyright interview.

"I'm aware of the bureau pressure, and I'm aware of the pressure from the black community." And yet, after an intensive coast-to-coast probe, including thousands of interviews and checks on every known outspoken racist in Indiana and bordering states, the-case remains a frustrating puzzle. -VU'hat have we got after all this work?" Davis said. "We've got a rifle shot at 2 o'clock in the morning, that's what we've got." Davis subscribes to the theory that one person shot Jordan outside a motel after planning the black leader's assassination for some time. My feeling is the shot was fired from one of these FDVE WILLGET YOU 14 ri SEEM WITH FIRST (FEDERAL'S PLUS TIN BONUS.
