Both Sides Agree On Coal Monday, Novembers; 1974 Hy CHARLES FLINNEK WASHINGTON (DPI) --Coal negotiators agreed on an improved contract Sunday nighl. The agreement came after informal talks among negotiators for the Bituminous Coal Operators Association and the United Mine Workers of America.

Some 120,000 miners have been out on strike since Nov, 12, The settlement was announced by Treasury Secretary William E. Simon, who conferred with industry officials for more than three hours. The tentative pact supersedes what both sides had called "probably the best agreement in any "industry that has been made in modern 1 The earlier arrangement, reached Nov 13, was scuttled by the union's militant 39- member bargaining council, which is expected to begin its review of the new offer by Tuesday The council was not satisfied with the original tentative contract and voted "almost unanimously" to send UMW President Arnold Miller back to the bargaining table. Neither Miller nor chief industry negotiator Guy Farmer would answer questions about the contract. Simon said, "I'll make no comment on the package until it is ratified by the miners," The union handed out a joint statement which read: "The UMWA and BCOA have tonight agreed in principle on improvements in the tentative contract package.

"We intend to devote Monday to the task of finalizing contract language so that" a complete and final document can be presented for the ratification process without delay." Miller had to face a reluctant management group which was disappointed that their first agreement had not made the grade. However, he got some help from William Usery director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, whom Miller praised for "evenhanded treatment of both parties (that) bridged the difficult gap between us at the Usery said, "It's been tough bargaining" when he emerged from the Hay Adams Hotel with Simon after the agreement was announced.

THE COST of implementing the needed changes into the city's personnel system, now that the study is completed, will be in the neighborhood of $5,000, the city manager said. But even at that, White considers the cost of such a complete revamping of the personnel system a bargain. The last personnel study undertaken by the city was in the 1960s and White says it was inadequate even then. The job descriptions written at that time were perfunctory, at best, and the city's personnel records have never been adequately organized and up-to-date, he said.

Once again, he puts the blame for the situation on the manpower shortages in the personnel area. Aubrey. She had been a resident, of Denton County since 1910 and was a member of the Methodist church.

Hufnagel planned to go over Nixon's medical records before possibly examining him Monday. Doctors Probe Nixon's Health By RICHARD SALTUS LOS ANGELES CAP) A court-appointed medical team today checks whether former President Richard M.

Nixon is well enough to testify at the Watergate cover-up trial. The first steps are to meet with Nixon's surgeon and to examine medical reports. Dr. Charles Hufnagel, head of the three-man team, said after arrival here under order of the Watergate trial judge. If a study of Nixon's medical records indicates a physical examination might cause excessive stress, "we would so state and not proceed," Hufnagel said.

Hufnagel said the three physicians would meet with Nixon's surgeon, Dr. Eldon Hickman, at Memorial Hospital Medical Center of Long Beach at 11:30 a.m. CST today. If medical records are favorable, the trio will examine Nixon at his San Clemente estate, probably sometime today. Their report on whether Nixon is healthy enough to give testimony is to be made by Friday to Judge John J.

Sirica of the U.S. District Court in Washington. "We would like to spare Mr. Nixon all the stress possible," Hufnage! told an airport news conference in Los Angeles Sunday. Hufnagel said the physicians would arrive at their opinion much as they would determine if a disabled employe could return to work.

Nixon underwent surgery Oct. 29 to prevent blood clots from breaking loose in his phlebitis-stricken left leg and trav- elling to his heart and lungs, where they could be fatal. The 61-year-old former chief executive was in critical condition for six days after the operation and later had reports of unexplained jumps in his blood pressure at times of physical or mental stress. He returned to his San Clemente home Nov. 14.

Hufnagel, chief of surgery at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, was selected by Judge Sirica to head the panel. The other doctors are Dr. John J. Spitell Jr 49 of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. and Dr.
