The Evening Sun from Baltimore, Maryland • 34

D4 THE EVENING SUN FRIDAY MARCH 28, 1986 Suit claims a cover-up tried in woman's death Steinberg backs city on amnesty funds But Senate president continues to oppose the request for increased aid to local schools By Leslie Walker Evening Sun Staff Maryland Senate President Melvin A. Steinberg says he can support Baltimore's request for tax amnesty funds but still opposes its request for increased education aid. Steinberg, D-Balto said he would "actively bargain" to help the city win some version of a plan to give local governments a share of tax amnesty proceeds. He contended that Baltimore stands to benefit more from that than it does from a six-year plan to boost state education spending. "I am receptive to the tax amnesty proposal," Steinberg said after meeting with Mayor William Donald Schaefer yesterday.

"It would be a vehicle to give immediate relief" to the city. The education and tax amnesty proposals are Baltimore's top two priorities as the General Assembly enters its final 10-day stretch to adjournment. Both bills have passed the House of Delegates and are pending in the Senate Budget and Taxation Committee, where they face stiff opposition. One would increase state aid to local Steinberg, to bring the education bill to the floor, would have to turn several committee members around. And several senators said that would be risky because rural conservatives and Montgomery County legislators are likely to filibuster the education plan.

Steinberg said he told Schaefer yesterday he agrees that "Baltimore City is not getting the assistance to the same degree as other subdivisions" and that he will try to help the city. "I said, 'Don't get uptight at this stage of the proceedings. Both houses are putting themselves in a position for Steinberg said. Dismissing the education bill as "symbolic," Steinberg reiterated his belief that the six-year plan could just as easily be passed next year since it wouldn't have any fiscal impact for two years. "I will actively support the city in regards to actual benefits.

Symbols do not put books and pencils in the school rooms," he added. Cardin, however, called his education plan "a relatively minor increase in aid" and added, "It is a program for children. It is not for the subdivisions. It has to do with restoring confidence in public education." schools by $247 million through 1992. The other would give local governments 60 percent of the money collected from delinquent taxpayers during a 60-day amnesty period next winter.

The Senate has passed a different version of each bill, without the key provisions that Baltimore wants. As the House and Senate gear up for a confrontation, committees on both sides have begun stalling each other's bills. Schaefer met with Steinberg twice this week to lobby for the measures. The city's nine senators met Wednesday with Gov. Harry R.

Hughes to lobby for those bills and $2 million for unrelated projects. Hughes was cool to both the education and tax amnesty distribution plans at his weekly news conference yesterday. He refused, however, to say whether he would veto either measure. Steinberg's support is seen as crucial, given the opposition both bills face in the Senate budget committee. Committee members heard an impassioned plea yesterday from House Speaker Benjamin L.

Cardin, D-City, sponsor of the education plan. Afterward, several committee members said a preliminary nose count showed a 9-4 margin of opposition. SUIT, From Dl stable in spite of the interruption of anesthesia on two occasions and the development of air in the chest cavity. Various portions of the hospital chart are attached to the suit in support of the allegations. Ellin said the allegations are based on a review of the case by experts who are board-certified in critical care, anesthesiology and cardiology.

Their names are not listed in the suit. The suit says Gantt inflicted two separate tears in Reid's windpipe when he inserted a plastic-like tube into it to help Reid breathe while she was under general anesthesia. The tube is connected to a respirator, making the patient dependent upon the anesthesiologist for breathing and oxygen while asleep. The acts that delayed emergency care needed to save the woman's life, according to the suit, included: Failure to monitor her breath signs while she was under anesthesia. Failure to insert a hypodermic needle in her chest to relieve the air pressure in her chest that caused her lungs to collapse.

Failure to promptly reattach the endotracheal tube that became disconnected from the machine. Proceeding with the surgery at a time when the patient showed signs and symptoms "of a potentially serious and still undiagnosed problem." A 40-minute delay in placing tubes in the chest to remove excess air after the problem was diagnosed. Implanting a pacemaker in the patient, who had an abnormal heart rhythm that required "shocking" by a machine to return the heart to normal function. The suit contends that the degree of surgical, hospital and anesthesia negligence in this case was "gross and violative of even minimal standards of care." Rubiano, also an anesthesiologist, was called in to participate when "trouble" developed following insertion of the endotracheal tube into the windpipe, according to the suit. In addition, the suit asserts that Midy, a cardiologist, delayed by 40 minutes placement of chest tubes after the diagnosis for the necessity of the tubes was made Holy Week a time one can go 'home' again Deaths Deaths Deaths ANDERSON, M.W.

A friend invited the States family to Brown Memorial Presbyterian Church on Park Avenue, where the Rev. David Malone is pastor. "What kept me going back to Brown was more the social things," said States, who began working with the church's tutorial program, teaching 9- and 10-year-olds carpentry. Then, Bible study classes with the Rev. Gloria Albrecht began to trigger spiritual emotions, said States, now 30.

"I would hear what David Malone or Gloria were saying during services that was based on the Bible and it seemed the words were directed to me," he said. States began looking forward to the Bible studies with Albrecht and the talks with Malone. "Malone introduced me to how much more the church encompasses," he said. Finally, "the spiri-tualness had become more once "but quite a majority of those people do return later in life." Usually, the Catholic dropouts returned between the ages of 25 and 35, but some return later in life, Hoge said. Roozen found during his research that people returned to an active church life because of a spiritual need or because they experienced a crisis.

They also returned "because they were settled in their family life or their careers," he said. Roozen said that often those returning did so because they learned to appreciate the church as they learned to appreciate their parents later in life. "They see the church is human after all," he said. "You don't have to be ashamed to come back to church," said Wingo, who was ordained a minister in the A.M.E. church last year.

She is on the ministerial staff at Trinity A.M.E. Church in East Baltimore. "I don't think of it as just going to church," Wingo said. "I think of it as going to see a good friend. To me, God is like a good friend, and he's with me all the time." CHURCH, From Dl It was his 15th birthday and time to confirm his membership at Brick Presbyterian Church.

But Randy States decided he no longer wanted to attend the wealthy church in Rochester, N.Y., where he had gone throughout his childhood. "I was being forced to go to church," States said. "It was like going to school but only on Sunday and you had to get more dressed up. I didn't get much out of it." It wasn't until he was 29 that States began looking for a church to attend. A crisis in States' life precipitated the search for a church.

A photography business he started wasn't doing well, and the lack of work was putting a strain on his marriage. "I was looking for other people to help me sort things out," States said. The initial search led to a Quaker meeting. "I remember reading about Quakers and I liked some of their theology and the way they stayed away from rituals," he said. "I liked the simplicity." In 1985, States moved to Baltimore with his wife, Sarah, and their a sharp decline in attendance at mainline churches, said David A.

Roozen, assistant director at the Seminary Center for Social and Religious Research in Hartford, Conn. "The young adults were against any established institution," Roozen said. "They had very different values than their parents. There was a conflict in lifestyles and on sexuality issues." In 1981, Dean R. Hoge, professor of sociology at Catholic University in Washington, published the results of a study, "Converts, Dropouts, Returnees," which examined seven U.S.

dioceses and why Catholics left the church and why they returned. Hoge said Catholics generally leave the church between the ages of 15 and 25. Many Catholics leave because they experience excessive pressure from their parents to attend church and therefore stop going out of rebellion. Others listed complaints about a specific priest or that the services were boring, Hoge said. Hoge said his statistics showed that more than 40 percent of Catholics pulled out of the church at least In Memonam IN MbMORY of my generous and caring husband JOHN fr GRUE SR who passed away March 24.
