Reisinger was a friend and business partner of Roger Jensen, who was president of the bank and part-owner of Mid-States. Insufficient Assets Jensen's bank was closed last October after federal bank examiners determined that its assets were insufficient to cover a number of drafts presented by cattlemen who had done business with Mid-States Livestock. Those officials later confirmed that Jensen, Reisinger and others used money that would have covered Mid-States' cattle drafts in unsuccessful speculation in futures contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

He said he's done so because it is just not right that innocent people should suffer. Along the way, the FDIC sought in federal court to have Mid-States Livestock declared involuntarily bankrupt. Such a declaration obviously would have made answering claims against Mid-States, received at the bank by the FDIC, easier to answer. The petition was successful ly resisted oy Mia-aiaics Livestock, which is being kept alive, albeit only on paper, by Van Wyk's attorney, John Neiman, of Des Moines. So the suits are still there.

The largest, filed by Heinold Commodities, of Chicago, the brokerage firm that handled the futures accounts for the men and firms, seeks over $2 million. Heinold alleges it paid $694,480 to cover trade deficits in seven futures accounts the firm negotiated for the principal figures.

The First National Bank of Eldora was placed in the re-ceivorsbip of the Federal De-posit Insurance Corp. (FDIC), which stationed investigator Terry May in Eldora to sort out the bank's assets and liabilities at closing. An outside group purchased the assets of the bank and was quickly chartered in October as the Second National Bank of Eldora.

That bank does business in the same building that housed the First National. Legal claims against Reisinger, Jensen, Van Wyk, Mid-States Livestock and other individuals and businesses that became involved in the dealings began pouring in. Reisinger and Jensen both remained in Eldora for a few months.

Van Wyk, who has remained form at the jail, "should be eliminated and only personally labeled individual prescriptions" should kept at the jail. The report recommends that the Board of Supervisors sign a contract with Broadlawns to provide doctors, as well as outpatient and inpatient services for jail prisoners. It also asks that the board hire a nurse or physician's assistant to help in handling health care services at the jail. The report states that 38 per cent of the complaints received from jail prisoners deal with "nervousness" and "insomnia" and it said tranquilizers, barbi-tuates or narcotics were often prescribed for the condition. a pnysicians assistant or nurse would be required to su pervise the administration of prescription drugs, according to the report.

The nurse would work with jail inmates daily and doctors at 5 Broadlawns would provide further treatment if needed, the study recommended. Broadlawns Payment for Prisoner Services Urged REGISTER PHOTOS BY DAVID FINCH i By Michael Sorkin Iowa's seven Civil Rights Commission members discussed and adopted a proposed $410,000 budget Monday through an eight-way telephone conference call. From his Des Moines office, staff Director Joseph Tate fielded questions put by the commissioners from their homes or offices across the state. From a nearby desk, Tate's secretary, Sue Zylstra, took minutes as she listened on an extension phone. Originally, commission Chairperson Fran Lowder planned to ask the phone company to tape the conversation to provide a record for the public.

Iowa law says meetings of state agencies must be open. The taping idea was dropped, however, and a reporter was permitted to listen on a second extension phone. The commissioners agreed to hold the conference call be cause the agency's budget is due the state comptroller's office Wednesday. By law, it was due Sept. 1, but Tate obtained an extension.

Tate first showed the commissioners his budget two weeks ago. Although approving it at the time, the commissioners said a follow-up conference call was necessary because many of them didn't understand the budget. Only one major change was made Monday. Tate wanted to hire a total of 12 investigators to help clear up his backlog of more than 1,000 discrimination complaints. But Commissioner James Gill-nan expressed concern about what he called "lack of clerical support." The commissioners then voted to trim two investigators from Tate's propos al and give him three additional secretaries instead.

None of the commissioners questioned why there were a number of blank spaces appearing throughout the budget. All seven said they had discussed the budget with Tate before the conference call and some said they did so just minutes before the conference was scheduled to begin. ftt nnm mipcmnAC drat rYtnn Walsh, said she hadn't received the budget at all, and she declined to vote approval with the other six. Mrs. Walsh cast the lone dissenting vote two weeks ago against Tate's budget.

The budget, which must by approved by the governor and the Legislature, calls for $410,000 in fiscal year 1976 and $417,000 in fiscal year 1977. This year, the commission is receiving $211,000 in state funds and an additional $80,000 in federal money.

Rhodes: Economy Summit Will Get Positive Results By Barbara Mack A Polk County health organization is recommending that the county's Board of Supervisors pay Broadlawns Polk County Hospital up to $15,000 annually for the treatment of county jail prisoners. The Health Planning Assembly of Polk County Monday issued a report calling for a "coordinated system" of health care tht would avoid unneces sary hospital trips and elimi nate mishandling of pre scription drugs at the jail.

At one time, prisoners at the jail were treated by a part-time jail physician from the College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery. However, prisoners now are seen twice a week by a nurse and referred to Broadlawns if they require further treatment. Monday's report said the county jail needs "a system for assuring that prescription drugs are not duplicated, misplaced or administered improperly." It also states that prescription drugs, kept in bulk NICE GOING from Des funds to establish vacation homes at the seashore, Jerry Ford, reportedly, is going to ask Congress Mr a sun lamp. "We could use a little old- fashioned frugality at the top," he told about 600 persons who attended the fund raiser at Veterans Memorial Auditorium here. Earlier in the afternoon, Re publican National Committee Chairman Mary Louise Smith said she'd be satisfied if the Republicans can hold the seats they now hold.

"I would be very happy if we can hold our own," said Mrs. Smith, who is a Des Moines resident. But at his press conference, Rhodes was having none of that. He said he thinks his party will pick up seats. "In all due respect to Mary Louise, I've been around a lot longer," he said.

Mrs. Smith said she would like to see Special Watergate Prosecutor Leon Jaworski issue a report, telling the entire stbry of Watergate. "I've always said that the more information you get out, the better off the public is," she said.

Rhodes called upon the Republican diners to beat the drums for Rockefeller's confirmation.

"If the Democrats can declare a political cease-fire long enough to go through confirmation proceedings, Nelson Rockefeller can begin his job for our good Republican leadership team in Washington. "By spearheading some of the domestic programs, Rocky can give the President an opportunity to bear down hard on our thorny world problems such as the Arab oil confrontation." Rhodes said he thinks inflation is the No. 1 issue in this year's campaign, and he said the Democratic-controlled Congress should get its share of the blame for the economic conditions. He said he thinks President Ford's economic summit conference "will produce a positive program to contain inflation." And, possibly with his tongue in his cheek, Rhodes said some Washington inhabitants expect an austerity program.

Appearing on the WOI-TV show, "One To One," Tate said part of the program has been assessing the direction the commission should take since the former director quit under fire. "We had to move progressively to find out where we were," Tate said. Tate became director 10 months ago. Tate said between 500 and 600 discrimination complaints are filed with the commission each year slightly more than the number of cases the agency is solving. Currently, the commission has a backlog of more than 1,000 complaints, some three or four years old.

Tate said the Legislature should have given the commission more money when it was expanding the agency's duties during the last few years. But he said money won't solve all the problems.
