4 Jan. 18, 1979 DES MOINES REGISTER 38 WORKING MOM AGAIN TOLD NO NURSING By JERALD HETH Register Staff Writer IOWA CITY, IA. Linda Eaton, and mother, was informed that nursing her baby during her free time on hours 1 raises lewa City "functional and legal DES MOINES, implications." In a letter from Miles 200 Assistant City Manager Dale Helling, Eaton was again told that she couldn't nurse her son Ian during her personal time and that she would have to make other arrangements for the care of her baby if she wants to a keep her job. almi Eaton, 26, who is scheduled to tapeturn to work Monday after amaternity leave, said of the letter: 30 "They still didn't say specifically why I can't do it and it doesn't say -what would happen if I did. goi "If they don't let me, I think it's definitely discrimination, not against sme as a woman, but as a nursing elmother." bus Helling said city officials have administrative regulations Tand, in a show of support of Fire Robert Keating, decided to deny Eaton's request to nurse her baby at a the fire station.

be: "It's the birth of a new policy," he said. "It's the first time the city has to deal with this." Asked what legal implications were involved, Helling replied: "I'm not -sure at this point. I was advised to put it in the letter." Asked what functional implications involved, he responded: "'There's -just certain things one can and can't do in the function of duties. We feel it shouldn't be allowed at a work site by any city employee." Helling, asked to be specific on why Eaton wouldn't be allowed to nurse her baby, said city officials are treating the case as a personnel matter and as such, the reasons are confidential. "We'll be happy to discuss it with Linda at her convenience," he said.

Eaton tried to reach Helling and other city officials Wednesday afternoon for an explanation of their objections, but everyone was reported to be in a meeting or out of the office. Helling said, "I have no reason to believe she won't comply." He said if Eaton violates the new regulation, disciplinary action is up to her supervisor. -Eaton said Wednesday she plans to talk with Helling and find out what the objections are. "They know this won't satisfy me," she said of the letter, adding that she's still considering testing the order. Eaton, who is single, said that if she's not able to breast feed her son during a 24-hour shift a firefighter works here, she will lose her supply of milk.

She said she told Chief Keating that when she's on duty, firefighting comes first. Firefighters here are given personal time" during midday and evening hours to do what they want so long as they stay at the station. She intended to nurse her son then. Eaton noted that male firefighters frequently are visited by their wives and children. Her statement was confirmed by another firefighter who said, however, that the visits were not on a regular basis.

The firefighter, who wanted to remain anonymous, said that men in the department resented what they called the preferential treatment city administrators have given Eaton. The irony now is that city officials have created their own problem, said the firefighter. At a time when the department needed more personnel, officials decided to hold Eaton's position open until she could return to work something they wouldn't do for a man who hurt his hand last year and was removed from the department, the firefighter said. Sandanistas attack border guard post MANAGUA, NICAGAGUA (AP) Guerrillas attacked a national guard post near the border with Costa Rica Wednesday and the frontier was closed following "fierce 20-minute combat," a military spokesman said. A national guard spokesman would not say if there were any casualties in the battle a mile from the Penas Blancas border village.

He said the guerrillas fled into Costa Rica after the fight. Anti-government guerrillas of the left-wing Sandinista National Liberation Front have been staging hit-andFun raids against government forces of President Anastasio Somoza. Sandinistas led an uprising last September in which an estimated 1,500 persons were killed. Billfold lost in snow is returned The Resister's towa News Service OTTUMWA, IA. Perry Miller of Ottumwa thought he lost his new car even before he had bought it.

Miller lost his wallet, including $1,700 he had borrowed to purchase the car, in the snow during the weekend blizzard. Then Jeff Brooks found the billfold in the snow and turned it over to police.

It's a lifestyle everyone accepts. You'll find a pictorial look on The Back pick up the Tribune' No plans to prosecute accused school bus driver By JERRY J. SZUMSKI Register Staff Writer TAMA, IA. Tama County Attorney Jeffrey Corzatt said Wednesday he does not plan to prosecute a school bus driver accused of striking several Mesquakie Indian children on a bus last fall. Corzatt said he thought parents of the schoolchildren did not want criminal charges brought against the driver, Frank Hala, of Toledo.

He made the statement as the Iowa Civil Rights Commission prepared to hear Mesquakie complaints of alleged broad racial discrimination raised since the bus incident. Corzatt said one set of parents, Isaac and Agnes Shuckahosee, had hired a lawyer and were considering a civil suit for damages. "They seemed to be more concerned, not with criminal prosecution, but with correcting problems in the school system," he said. But Agnes Shuckahosee said, "I guess he misunderstood us. We wanted for him to prosecute.

Wouldn't it be up to him to start a case without asking us?" Shuckahosee confirmed, however, that a civil suit "is going through our minds." Shuckahosee and other Mesquakie parents contend several children were struck by Hala Oct. 24 on a South Tama School District bus near the end of an afternoon run from town schools to the Mesquakie Settlement. A child abuse investigation was conducted by Tama County social services officials and findings were forwarded to the county attorney. Corzatt, who took office early this month, said he discussed the findings with his predecessor, Jared Bausch of Traer, and concluded that "nothing more than a simple assault happened, if anything happened." Corzatt said an assault prosecution would not resolve broad Mesquakie allegations involving the schools a and community. "If a problem exists," he said, "it's one of attitudes and beliefs." Hala, 60, was fired for "violating school policy" after a closed school board meeting devoted to discussing the bus incident, said superintendent Joel Wedergren.

Details of the closeddoor discussion are confidential, he said. The Civil Rights Commission held a public form on the Mesquakie Settlement Wednesday night and is scheduled to reconvene the forum at 9 a.m. today in the Tama Civic Center auditorium. Obituaries HOMER HAKE Dr. Homer N.

SSI recipients are reviewed every year HEARTLINE questions fast. Send your questions to HEARTLINE, 114 E. Dayton West Alexandria, Ohio 45381. Senior citizens will receive prompt replies. The most useful replies will be printed in this column, which appears in The Sunday Register and Monday's and Thursday's daily Register.

Heartline is a service of The Des Moines Register for senior citizens. Its purpose is to answer Heartline I am 66 years old and I draw my Social Security benefits. I am also on Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Last week I received a call to go to the local Social Security office to discuss my SSI benefits. I don't understand why they are doing this.

My situation has not changed at all. Can you tell me what this is all about? The Social Security Administration reviews every Supplemental Security Income recipient at least once a year to make sure that the recipients are still eligible and that they are being paid the correct amount. These reviews are required by law. Social Security representatives will get in touch with everyone on SSI when it is time to review the case. This review may be done by phone, or a personal interview at the recipient's home or in the Social Security office.

The same type of questions will be asked as were asked when you applied for SSI. They will need information about your income, things you own and your living arrangements. Heartline I am a 67-year-old widow and I will be going into the hospital for an operation very soon. I have set it up with my doctor to pay him on a monthly basis until my Medicare reimbursement comes. My question concerns my hospital bill.

Will I have to pay them first and make a claim for Medicare? No. When you receive covered services from a participating hospital, skilled nursing facility or home health agency, you do not need to make any claim for your hospital insurance benefits. These participating facilities have agreed to charge you only for services which are not covered by Medicare. These institutions or agencies make the claims and receive the Medicare payments from intermediaries, which are organizations selected by the Social Security Administrations when a hospital insurance payment has been made in, your behalf. Heartline I am 59 years old and am a widow.

I am receiving my widow's benefits from the Civil Service Commission as my husband always worked for the government. I have met a gentleman whom I have been seeing for over a year now. If I decide to marry him, what will happen to my pension from Civil Service? E.T. If you decide to remarry before the age of 60, then you will lose your entire Civil Service Survivor's Annuity. Remarriage after the age of 60 will not terminate your widow's benefits.

If you decide to remarry before age 60 (and lose your annuity), your benefit can be reinstated if your marriage is terminated by death, annulment or divorce and you pay back the lump sum (if any) that was paid to you upon termination of the annuity. Heartline I have heard the term custodial care used in reference to a nursing home. Can you tell me what this means? Custodial care is care that can be given by persons without professional training or skills. In other words, if you need help with walking, bathing, dressing, eating, getting in and out of bed or taking medicine, or other things that family or friends could help you with, then your condition would be considered custodial and Medicare would not cover you. College plans suit against HEW The Register's lowa News Service OTTUMWA, IA.

(AP) Board members of Indian Hills Community College voted Tuesday night to file suit against the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare to block the agency's attempt to cut off federal funds to the college in connection with a three-year-old sex discrimination case. HEW has ruled that Evaline Jones was discriminated against when the college hired a male English instructor despite her contention that both teachers had equal academic credentials. The college contends that Larry Van Ordt was also hired for his ability to coach football and his reputation for successfully managing white and minority athletes in the now defunct football program at Indian Hills. Both teachers no longer work for Indian Hills, but the case has dragged on before the Iowa Civil Rights Commission and HEW for almost three years.

A Jan. 9 letter from HEW told college officials they have until Jan. 19 to agree to a $5,400 financial settlement with Jones or face a cutoff of the federal funds under the provisions of Title IX of the 1972 Educational Assistance Act. GROUP ASKS MORE HELP FOR REFUGEES WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) A committee of prominent Americans, predicting "human disaster" if more help is not forthcoming, called on the United States and other nations Wednesday to sharply increase their assistance to refugees from communist Indochina.

Urging the United States to double its 1979 quota of refugees from 50,000 to 100,000, the group also proposed creation of an "international holding center" somewhere in Asia to receive refugees and relieve the crush on Indochina's neighbors. At present, temporary camps are holding some 205,000 Indochina refugees 140,000 in Thailand, about 50,000 in Malaysia, and the rest in other countries of Asia, according to State Department estimates. Okinawa a part of Japan which has extensive military facilities built by the United States was suggested as a possible site for the holding center. "We are persuaded that no other step or combination of steps will do to avert tragedy," said the group, which was founded in 1977 as the Citizens Commission on Indochinese Refugees. Leo Cherne, chairman of the International Rescue Committee which was instrumental in organizing the citizens commission, said that idea had not been put to Japanese officials thus far.

Japan, like most other Asian nations, has resisted the idea of allowing Indochinese refugees to settle permanently and has accepted only three. Among other nations which should accept "a fair share" of the refugees, he said, were Brazil and "several other" Latin American countries. He said West Germany has accepted 3,000 but should take in many more, and Canada already one of the four major recipients should increase its quota. Cherne's committee delivered its recommendations in a meeting with Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and other senior officials. "There was very substantial agreement on some points and no disagreement on any," Cherne told a news conference later.

Nursing home hearing set LINCOLN, NEB.

St. Louis schools shut by strike ST. LOUIS, MO. (AP) St. Louis schools, hit by a teachers strike, will close indefinitely, school officials said Wednesday, after five picketing teachers were arrested, allegedly for trying to keep people from entering the schools.

The confrontations prompted school administrators to cancel classes indefinitely beginning today, according to spokesman Barbara Holt. "The violence and the threats of violence to our teachers at the schools made it seem best to close the schools," she said. The teachers, seeking more than the $100 per year salary increase offered by the school board, have ignored a temporary restraining order against the strike. School district salaries currently range from $9,650 for beginning teachers to $19,350 for 16 years' experience and a doctoral degree.
