Randy Tonn, hospital development director, said the ICU facility was officially closed June 16, and said it would remain closed until additional registered nurses can be employed bv the hospital. TONN 'SAID the hospital's registered nurse staffing should be back to normal "within several weeks." The ICU at St. Vincent's is geared to operate on a round-the-clock basis with eight nurses.

At the time the facility was closed, only eight RN's were on the job. Tonn said two more have been hired, but said the search is still on for two more. The hospital has advertised in the Santa Fe New Mexican for registered nurses, offering a SoO reward for them. TONN" SAID patients who were in the ICU ai the time it was closed had been transferred to private or semi-private rooms. The present ICU staff is working in the operating and recoverj' room.

Tonn said patient care at the hospital was "not being negatively affected."

Capital Airport Decision Today SANTA FE (LTD Santa Fe Mayor Joseph Valdes said he would take "positive action" on Santa Fe's airport problem by today. Frontier and Texas International Airlines announced last week the suspension of all flights to Santa Fe because of poor runway conditions at the municipal airport. At a special meeting on the problem Monday, Valdes appeared receptive to a suggestion that he appoint a special committee to work with local, state and federal officials to come up with a revenue solution. Valdes said he would probably name members to the committee during today's city council meeting. City Engineer Ormonde Earp told the council it will cost more than $1 million to repair all runways and taxi-ways at the airport.

VROUND SANTA FE (AP) New-Mexico taxpayers got a $1573 bill recently from three members of state regulatory agencies who spent a week in Hawaii.

of the Army has host to a junior ROTC unit, it was announced in Houston recently by Lt. Gen. Patrick F. Cassidy, Fifth Army commander. The Wingate unit will commence training with the start of the 1972 academic year.

WINGATE HIGH and Fort Sill Indian School at Lawton, will become the first Bureau of Indian Affairs schools to become participants in the Army's junior ROTC program, said Gen. Cassidy.

In recent district court action, the disorderly conduct charges were dropped, with Dist. Court Judge Frank Zinn saying the Santa Fe ordinance involved was too broad. Judge Zinn changed the municipal court judgment of 90 days in jail on the weapons charge to $50 per person fine. At an appeal hearing last week on the charges, the berets failed to appear. AT THAT TIME, Zinn gave Castella no authority to proceed with collection of the bonds put up by five Las Vegas residents assuring the presence of the berets at the trial.

One of the five. Las Vegas Dist. Atty. Donald Martinez, said Monday he and the four others couldn't become responsible for the bonds unless a separate suit is filed. Each bond called for $600 in property bonds.

There were 10 bonds. Castellano said, however, that he feels that no separate suit must be filed, and said he is proceeding to file the liens on the property put up as security in the ease. 24 HR. DEVELOPING Before, After Race Q. Are jockeys supposed to weigh in and out before and.

COURSES WILL be conducted, for the most part, by local residents skilled and experienced in these areas. University fficials emphasized that each course would carry two hours of credit, and could be counted as part of a degree program on an individual petition basis subject to the approval of the academic department in which the student is majoring. However, they anticipated most persons taking these classes will not be pursuing regular degree programs in the university. Regular tuition charges, adult student admissions policies and registration procedure will prevail.

INDIAN PLAZA IAfITIAIl PRINCESS JEANNI LOCATIONS 4643 FOURTH N.W. Three HEW Officials Review Law Compliance A. Since the amount of weight horses are due to carry in a race is important to them, all jockeys must weight in before starting the race. If, for example, a horse is rated to carry 120 pounds and his jockey weighs only 110, the "lead bags" are placed on the horse to bring the weight up to snuff. If a jockey is overweight, the owner or trainer can change jockeys to get the weight down.

All jockeys weigh in before the start of the races but only those "in the money" are required to weigh in after the races. This is to save time. Possibly you saw jockeys pass up the scales who were out of the money, says Harvey Foster of the New Mexico Racing Commission. Q. In a list of great pitchers from years past, such as Walter Johnson, Bob Feller, Lefty drove, Warren Hub-bell ind Dizzy Dean, which one was the best hitter? J.H.M.

A. It is the considered opinion of Herman Sehulman and the Dukes front office here that Walter Johnson was probably the best batter of the group named. Sehulman, who as a kid remembers seeing Walter Johnson, says he sometimes batted in the middle of the line-up. especially in his younger days. All those queried on the question agree that Feller and Hubbell would be placed at the bottom of the list as the poorest batters.

Grove, Span and Dean would be somewhere between. Bob Gilmore of the Albuquerque Dukes adds that Don Drysdale would certainly rank as one of the best batters among star major league pitchers. Q. Can you tell me anything about Don McLean who wrote the song "American Pie?" Where is he from, what's his age, etc? D. G.

A. The single entry listed in the Public Library's Fine Arts Dept. tells us he is a New York folk singer. And that's all we can find at the moment. Q.

W. T. A. A. A "dodder" is any one of several parasitic plants that lack leaves, roots and chlorophyll and are equipped with special suckers for drawing nourishment from the host plant.

It's a plant similar to mistletoe which grows on trees. If you can catch it when it starts and rip it off cleanly, you might control it. Otherwise, you destroy it by destroying the host plant. Any spray that would kill the dodder would kill the host. Q.

I moved hack to Rochester, N.Y., about a year ago but purchased a used 1970 station wagon (28.000 miles on it) from a dealer in Albuquerque. I paid $4000 for it. Now I take it in for major repair with 41.000 miles on it and find I don't have the warranty. I called the dealer in Albuquerque and the sales manager tells me I would have to had to pi $25 evtra for the rest of the time on my warranty at the time I bought the car. So.

here I am stuck. with a $700 bill they didn't or forgot to offer me a warranty. Anything to he done about it? C. M. A.

No, at this late date that's so much water over the dam. The warranty must go to Detroit within 30 days after the car is sold. For whatever reason you failed to get a warranty, it was not a part of the condition-of-sale papers you signed when you purchased the car. It's sort of like an optional insurance policy which you didn't sign for and later you find you need. Q.

I've found the continuing saga of New Mexico place names intriguing hut not too unusual. It's happened all over. If you'll read a chapter on place names in H. L. Mencken's "The American Language, you'll find a great many foreign places names have gone through bizarre changes in our English-speaking world.

Same is probably true of English names in non-English worlds. In this country, there seems to be no discrimination regarding race, language or creed. The French seem to have suffered even more than the Spanish in tliis regard. C. O.

Santa Fe. A. Yes, we know all too well what you mean pronunciation-wise. South Dakota has a fair share of mispronounced French names. Take Pierre, its capital which is generally pronounced "Pier," and a tiny hamlet, "Belle Fourche" is called something like "Bell Foosh." Then there's "Des Plaines" in Illinois which goes by "Des Plains." And Northern Idaho has a dilly in "Coeur d' Alene" which comes out "Kordalaine." The examples are multitudinus.
