THE PROPOSAL came up at the UMW national convention last October and was referred to a board of three trustees in February. 'One represents the coal operators, one the union and the third is neutral," said Shirley. "Between them, they denied it." While union benefits cover the cost of treatment by medical doctors, most of the UMW members working on the reservation have health care provided by the U.S. Public Health Service, Shirley said. "RIGHT now, they're (UMW headquarters) saving a bunch of money," he said, adding that "we might appeal their decision, and perhaps it could be an issue at contract negotiations this fall.

Pete Martin, of the Navajo Office of Labor Relations, said use of medicine men is a way of life antong Navajo workers "It's By MIKE McCLOY PHOENIX, Ariz. (AP) The United Mine Workers union has refused to extend health and welfare coverage to fees charged by medicine men, disappointing some 750 Navajo coal miners. "We were very optimistic," said Tom Shirley, UMW international representative at Peabody Coal Co. mines at Black Mesa and Kayenta, Ariz. "We have a meeting coming up the first of May.

We just got the notice and I'm sure they'll be disappointed." RANK-AND-file miners had suggested extending the coverage, said Shirley. "They feel they should have it because it isn't any different than going to a medical doctor." They even had a list of coverage limits "all drawn out," Shirley said. "There are in the neighborhood of 25 to 30 ceremonies, and the fee ranges from $20 on up to $700." UMW trustees released a statement yesterday saying medicine men will not be included as providers of health care eligible part of their upbringing we utilize them for health and religion." Medicine men diagnose maladies through mysticism and close observation, "and then prescribe some sort of ceremony for mental, physical and spiritual treatment," said Martin. FOR A headache, Martin said, "the medicine man probably would tell the patient to rest for a while the same as a doctor. But if the patient complains all the time, the medicine man would do one of his diagnoses." The patient's family summons the medicine man and plays host to him during the treatment ceremony.

"The percentage of patients receiving dialysis at home is now less than 20. In 1972, right before Medicare came in, the figure was 43," Dr.

Belding H. Scribner, a University of Washington medical professor, said yesterday. ABOUT 33,000 PERSONS in the United States use artificial kidney machines. Scribner said in other countries the number of persons receiving home dialysis is on the rise. "In Great Britain 68 are at home.

They (the British government) won't pay for medical center dialysis care," he said. cAuri! nnrrnoc your choice: V97 Make ony wall in your home customized storage and display area just by adding these three handsome pieces of furniture!

THE SCHOOL, of of several UW campuses, has a class called "Bicycle Maintenance, Repair and Transportation" in the Department of Energy and Transportation. Instructor James Collier guides his students through everything from fixing a flat to investing in a bicycle manufacturing company. Part of the course involves taking the bike apart and putting it back together.

Collier says the course reflects changing attitudes about bicycles. After years of being viewed as a toy only used by children and oddballs, he says, the bicycle has now been recognized "as a serious means of transportation." "Bicycle technology is on the movfe," the professor says. SSI ta lANKAMCRlCARDl MORRIS FURNITURE SHOWROOMS 7119 Centennial Blvd. (Across from Ford Plant) 1 he said. "They don't think it's safe and they think it's too much of a strain on the patient." he said.

Scribner said legislation presently before Congress would make it possible for Medicare to cover home dialysis. "IT NOW COSTS patients more to go home rather than stay in a clinic or hospital," be said. Scribner testified before the House Ways and Means Committee in Washington Monday that "What started out in 1960 as a noble experiment gradually has degenerated into a highly controversial, billion dollar program riddled with cost orerruns and enormous profiteering." l-0 10 til 9Sat. 10 til 9Sun. 1 til 6 pm.
