3, pg. 1. i By John Schmeltzer The Morton Arboretum and the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority reached a tentative agreement Sunday that will allow the Du Page County Tollway to be built on the arboretum's eastern border. Attorneys for the arboretum and the authority will meet early Monday to try to resolve a final, "technical" point: how a trust fund, to be established by the toll authority to pay for arboretum research projects, is to be administered. In return for a roughly $5 million package of concessions by the toll authority, arboretum officials are expected to announce that they are dropping their, opposition to the road.

That will occur at a Monday afternoon briefing, assuming that the trust fund issue is resolved. "I wish I could say we have an agreement," Charles Haffner, chairman of the arboretum board, said Sunday. "I thought we had it done on Thursday, but we didn't. We've got basic agreement on the major issues. "It's just this trust fund that's holding it up.

It's within grasp. It's like grabbing the brass ring on a merry-go-round." Thomas Morsch, executive director of the toll authority, said he did not believe the trust-fund problem would prevent the two sides from reaching agreement. "It sounds technical to me," he said. "When I met with the attorneys Friday 1 told them we have an agreement and to write it. I believe everybody will be better off because of this agreement." The tollway, an 18-mile north-south expressway, is expected to have a major impact on Du Page development.

It From Chicago Tum wlret WASHINGTON President Reagan is "anguished" and "wounded" by continuing criticism of his upcoming visit to a West German military cemetery, but he will not cancel the stop, the President's top aide said Sunday. "He's going there as the guest of West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl," White House chief of staff Donald Regan said. "He promised he'd go there. He's carrying out his word." Meanwhile, West Germany's biggest-selling newspaper urged Kohl to cancel the cemetery visit. The staunchly pro-government Bild newspaper said the bitter controversy over the cemetery visit had made the planned gesture of reconciliation there impossible.

"Suddenly it is clear how thin the ground is on which the 'friendship' of former enemies stands," the newspaper said. "Friendship cannot be forced with violence and not with grand gestures. "Reagan is suffering the biggest crisis in his period in office because of Bit-burg," Bild added. "The chancellor should spare Reagan the journey to Bit-burg." Appearing on CBS-TV's "Face the Nation," Regan said the President is deeply troubled by negative reaction to his planned visit next Sunday to a cemetery near Bitburg containing the graves of 2,000 soldiers. Buried there are 47 members of the Nazi SS, the elite corps blamed for the attempted genocide of Jews and other minorities and the massacres of other, European civilians and Allied soldiers.

The New York Times reported Sunday that some of the SS dead buried at Bitburg were from the 2d Waffen SS Panzer Division, which was held responsible for the murder of 920 Soviet Jews in 1941 and the 1944. massacre cf 6-i2 civilians in the French viliage of Ora-dour-Sur-Glane. The Washington Post reported Monday, that Reagan's determination has won support from former President Richard Nixon. Nixon, whose views were solicited by White House officials, privately urged Reagan last week not to back down because it would be a sign of weakness and undermine the President's standing with Western European countries, the Post reported, quoting unidentified sources.

The arboretum filed a federal suit to block construction last summer and had promised to prevent the tollway authority from obtaining environmental approval for the road from federal officials.

The opposition could have tied up the project for years. Now the suit is to be dropped, as well as the environmental objections. The $285 million road, in the planning stages for 20 years, is to parallel 111. Hwy. S3 from Army Trail Road in Addison to Int.

Paul Kirk, the party's new chairman, has reduced the power of various "constituencies" in the party, and he plans to do even more of that when the Democratic Executive Committee meets next month.

Continued on page 8 By Jon Margolis Chicago Tribune WASHINGTONA new thought was wandering around Washington last week.

It was a tentative thought, but it nourished hope in some Democrats and worried some Republicans, who used the same words, changing only the pronoun: Maybe they we have gone too far. The they or we are the Republicans and the Reagan administration, who did not have a good week. Congress bluntly rejected President Reagan on aid to Nicaraguan rebels; the Senate was not stampeded by a Reagan television talk on the budget; and, for the first time, the president who has been such a master of political symbols has stumbled on one. The" Republicans were not despairing, and few Democrats deluded themselves thinking their troubles were over. But Reagan's problems on Nicaragua and the budget proved that though he remains the dominant figure in national politics, he is no superman.

The latest polls showed Reagan's approval rating at a little more than SO percent still good but not great down from 60 percent last month. While the Republicans were getting INC Sec.1,p. 12 Obituaries Sec. 3, p. 13 Perspective Sec.

Security sources said the alliance of Druse-led Progressive Socialist Party fighters, Moslems and communists intended to attack the refugee-packed Christian mountain town of Jezzine on Monday. The sources said 8,000 of 25,000 residents and refugees fled Jezzine as Israeli-backed South Lebanon Army militiamen fell back toward the mountain town from their positions facing the Moslem fighters. The Christian refugees fled in convoys to the strip of Lebanon lying north of the Israeli border, the sources said. Meanwhile, Israeli Deputy This is the second of three articles on the increasing number of mentally ill and retarded people in prisons and jails. Mental Health needs more secure facilities," Steigman said.

"Without that, if a kid is dangerous, I'm going to have to commit him to Corrections. He's going to have to get his treatment behind bars." As The Tribune reported Sunday, a growing number of mentally ill and retarded people are being locked up in jails and prisons. The situation is raising concern in the fields of health and justice about the number of sick people who are being handled as criminals rather than being treated for their disabilities. According to the National Coalition for Jail Reform, the mentally ill are often sent to jail because mental health services in their communities are insufficient. "The jails should not be the admitting rooms to the mental health system," said John Talbott, presi- By Hanke Gratteau The lanky, blond-haired youth stuffed his hands into his pockets as his eyes darted down a corridor flanked by barred cells.

"It's a lot like getting treatment," said Kevin, shortly before the 15-year-old youth was paroled' home to Decatur from an Illinois -prison unit for mentally disturbed juveniles. "Only here there are bars and a barbed-wire fence." To the best of Kevin's recollection, he was in "seven or eight" state and private mental hospitals from the time he was 10 until he was sent to prison at age 14. Kevin kept breaking out. "It was easy," he boasted. And each time he ran away, he committed trimes, including two bank robberies, two arsons, several burglaries and aggravated assault.

Given that the mental health system could not protect the public from Kevin, Champaign County Juvenile Court Judge Robert Steig-man said in 1984 that he had no choice but to send Kevin to prison.
