2A Thursday, June 1 9, 1 986 Salaries "As we look at this, well be able to determine whether it was a tampering, a suicide or the exact mechanism," FDA Commissioner Dr. Frank Young said in Washington, D.C, in an interview on "The CBS Moming News." Cora Rice, Nickell's mother-in-law, said her daughter "has had a real tough time with this. It's going to take her a while before she can sort things out." Bristol-Myers asked all consumers who have Excedrin capsules to return them for Excedrin tablets or a cash refund to P.O. Box 1000, Baltimore, 21268. said.

Harpool and Smith said they believed the board could reduce the number of new teachers it plans to hire to free up mora money for salaries. District officials said only 17 of 30 proposed new positions would free up money that could be used for salaries. Fourteen new positions have already been cut. they said. The new positions are to compensate for growing enrollments, the new Wanda Gray Elementary School and special-education programs man' dated by the federal government, Hagerty said.

"We have seen our (Springfield's teacher) salaries drop (in percentage) here in the state of Missouri from 26th to 49 right In the middle of a teacher shortage," Harpool said. By JimKlahn The Associated Press SEATTLE Investigators testing Extra-Strength Excedrin capsules following the death of a woman from poisoning found cyanide in a second bottle, prompting a nationwide recail of the product and an investigation of an earlier death. The Food and Drug Administration late Wednesday issued a warning against use of the medication, and the manufacturer, Bristol-Myers, followed that with a recall of extra-strength capsules, "The bottle shown to Ui did show positive for potassium cyanide," said Sue Hutchcroft, an FDA spokeswoman in Seattle, after a lab in spec- tion. That second bottle was taken to authorities by Stella Nickell of Aubum, whose husband's death June 5 was initially attributed to natural causes. Nickell noticed that the lot number, 5-H102, on the bottle from which her husband reportedly took capsules matched those on a bottle used by Katherine Sue Snow, 40.

of Aubum, who died June 11 of cyanide poisoning, authorities said. The death of Bruce Nickell, 52, "is now being investigated as cyanide-related death," the King County medical examiner's office said in a statement Wednesday night. Test results on Nickell's remains were expected late today, said Bob Hill, spokesman for the medical examiner's office. Removal Continued from Page 1 A week as soon as the anouncements came out," Dameron said. "We will hold them off the sales floor until we get further information.

Most of the time, we find the product is not affected." The managers of the Ramey Super Markets at 1844 S. Campbell Ave. and 144S W. Kearney St said their Extra-Strength Excedrin capsules were pulled early this week. They said their supplier of health and beauty aids warned them of the pos-.

sible hazard. Danny Jackson, assistant manager of the Consumers Market at 1730 S. Campbell said all the extra-' not know about the possibility of. tainted drugs. "Is there a ban on them?" West asked.

"I'm sure our drug man probably will (remove them)." Randy Freeman of Smitty's at 218 Cienstone Ave. said the capsules were taken from the store's shelf Wednesday but said he had received no official notification about the product. FDA Commissioner Frank E. Young said in a statement Wednesday that consumers nationwide should avoid the extra-strength cap-sules after a Seattle-area woman died of cyanide poisoning soon after taking the medication. strength capsules were taken from the shelf Wednesday." "We got a call from our district office to pull them," Jackson said.

A spokesman at the Consumers Market main office confirmed all Extra-Strength Excederin has been removed from that store's shelves. Some smaller grocers said they were not aware of any problem with the capsules. i. Jane Vest, manager of Fast-N Friendly at 2766 N. Kansas said no action had been taken there.

"I haven't got any word on that," Vest said. She said she would "definitely look into it." Betsy West, manager of Frank's Market at 3127 W. Sunshine did Continued from Page IA The district has budgeted half of the $1 million from past years but has lost a court decision for most of it, Hagerty siad. That decision is being appealed, he said. Even if legislation allows that money to be spent, it would be i onetime windfall.

It's bad fiscal policy to pay for salaries this year with money that won't exist next year, Hagerty said. Harpool said, he believed the board does not need to maintain a 5 percent reserve. School board members disagreed. "In spite of the fact that we try to give all the money we can to salaries, we still have to pull money from somewhere to pay the other bills," board member David Harrison said. Budget Continued from Page IA lotment when it was cut Wednesday.

Items that narrowly missed elimination were the coordinator's position for the high-school gifted-education program, the fourth grade swimming program and transportation of junior high school students who live between 1 and ZVi miles from school. Tor some parents it's a real problem," McKinsey said about reduced transportation. Tm concerned about them."

Graeme Currie, Haguewood't military lawyer, said it was declassified by a presidential order in 1881. Haguewood was arrested March 4 after allegedly selling half the weapons loading manual to an undercover civilian police officer for $360, The manual was stamped "Classified Confidential," but much of the material in it had been published, defense attorneys said. Classified or not, investigators be-lieved Haguewood thought he was turning his country's secrets over to foreign government, said base spokesman Ix. Crwlr. Don Lewi.

Bass said he objects to the way the board has pitted teachers' salaries against district programs during the cutting process, "1 don't feel like that's a really fair thing to do," he said. "Once again the teachers are going to pick up the least amount" McKinsey disagreed, "It's not a question of being pitted. It's a fact of life," she said. "In general, we'te not satisfied with 4 percent," said Venton Has-kins, president of the Springfield Education Association. "We feel like 6 percent would be a more satisfactory figure.

I feel that there's 6 there (able to be culled from the budget)." ib -e rr Flash flood watch posted for southern Texas 75.

We knew we'd get calls before the songs were done, to we put that number en hold. When the songs were done we found that none of our lines were In operation." Pohl said the problem was apparent almost Immediately, but the telephone company couldnt call the radio station to tell management what was happening. "Our hands were really tied," he said. Nichols said he was notified by a visit from Springfitld police that telephone service bad been ditrupted. "At that point wt informed our listeners that we would delay the eon-test until the lines were fixed.

We didn't want to do anything that would threaten phone service to anyone site in the city. "1 don't know for sure at this point If our contest cauted the problem. It could have ben something else," Nichols said. "I know this has happened In other titles during a similar contest." Pohl said be didn't believe there was any doubt on Southwestern toll's part that the calls to the radio station prompted the jammed circuits. "They can tell in the central office pretty quick," he said.

Had th phone company been contacted by the radio station about holding this morning's giveaway, It would have tried to -discourage the contest, he said. He said It Is against the state Public Service Commission's tariff regulations for the company to allow one cuntomer to affect service to the whole city. "It's not fair for one customer to be able to do this to the whole city," Pohl said. "We would have tried to talk tham out of it, I'm sure." The most serious aspect of the situation was the delays in getting through to 911, he said. "If you're trying to gt emergency services, minute would be an eternity," he said.
