The biggest increase is 27.3 percent over two years for the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, due in part to an April inmate uprising that left one guard and nine inmates dead at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility at Lucasville. The bill contains money to hire 904 additional guards throughout the prison system, plus another $6 million to pay costs stemming from the riot. Following shifts of money and some spending cuts needed to close a projected $185 million revenue shortfall, the budget's total stood at $30.8 billion, down from $30.9 billion in earlier or about 14 percent over current spending.

But a large portion of the increase results from spiral-ing health care costs, especially federally mandated Medicaid. House Speaker Vera Riffe, D-Wheelersburg, said Monday that the proposal does "a solid job of helping Ohioans without breaking our budget or the taxpayers' pocketbooks." He pointed to provisions that help provide day care for working parents and expand health care choices for elderly Medicaid patients. Primary and secondary education will get subsidy increases of 4.9 percent and 5.2 percent in the next two years. Higher education is assured a boost of 3 percent COLUMBUS (AP) A compromise reached on the $30.8 billion budget bill would keep current spending levels for most programs, but the prison system and education would fare better. The House-Senate conference committee gave its final approval Monday to the two-year spending plan.

The panel spent the last three weeks negotiating the package. Passage by both houses, expected this afternoon, would send the bill to Gov. George Voinovich for his expected approval before a Wednesday midnight deadline. The new two-year budget period begins Thursday. The budget's total represents an increase of about $3.8 billion, Researchers discover cancer-fighting gene Hospitals to aid state center Edgar V.Fisher MANSFIELD Edgar V.

DAYTON CAP) Researchers say they have identified a gene that can help to fight certain cancers. Officials at the Hippie Cancer Research Center said the gene also might help in studying and controlling neurological complications and dementia that can occur in AIDS patients. The researchers hope to begin testing the gene on cancer patients in three years. The discovery will help scientists understand the action of interferons, which are the body's first line of defense against viruses and cancer, the Hippie researchers said. They said the gene produces an enzyme called indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase, abbreviated as IDO, which starves cancer cells of essential growth molecules.

The research was published in the July issue of Genomics, a scientific journal. Martin Murphy, the Hippie center's director, said interferon-gamma is a molecule that helps make up the body's immune system and is part of its defense pe-rimeter against disease. Interferon-gamma is regulated by the IDO gene. "What we didn't know is the mechanism by which this defense molecule was actually able to keep that perimeter impenetrable," Murphy said. He said the researchers not only discovered the gene but also isolated it "We not only know it's on chromosome 8.

We know its exact address," Murphy said. "We can now begin to deploy it" three Cleveland hospitals agreed Friday to work together with the bureau to improve the Walker Center. "That should be interesting. I'm not sure who's going to decide whether or not they're together," Ms. Batta said.

Debora Batta, the bureau's public affairs officer, acknowledged the center has not been used to its potential.

"For a number of years, many employers have felt that it was a white elephant. That seems to be the driving force," Ms. Batta said. She said the point of the bureau's proposed contract with Ohio State was to improve utilization. Ohio State already manages the bureau's J.

Leonard Camera Rehabilitation Center in Columbus, and controllers on Monday renewed that arrangement at a cost of $266,476 in the budget year starting July 1, and $279,550 the following year. Voinovich said leaders of the COLUMBUS (AP) Three competing health care systems would be asked to work together to run a Cleveland rehabilitation center for injured workers under a new contract OK'd by a legislative panel. The state Controlling Board approved a one-year, $353,976 contract Monday between the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation and Ohio State University. An arrangement originally proposed by the bureau provided for Ohio State to work only with the Cleveland Clinic in providing professional and technical services for the W.O.

But it was changed under an agreement backed by Gov. George Voinovich and approved by controllers to also require involvement of The MetroHealth System and University Hospitals in Cleveland.
