Concerning another long-waited-for road project, Carroll said all contracts on the four-laning of VS. 45 between Paducah and Mayfield will be let before next December.

'A Hi 'v mm" I I By WARREN E. LEARY AP Science Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The government is going to relax its guidelines for controversial gene-splitting research done under federal puspices and will seek to require private industry to comply with the new standards, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare announced Saturday. HEW Secretary Joseph A. Califano said his department also will take a closer look at the potential risks involved in such research. But he said safety guidelines on the Recombinant DNA research can be downgraded because experience indicates "the likelihood of harm now appears more remote than was once anticipated." At the same time, Califano said, he has Ordered the National Institutes of Health, which drafted the original 1976 guidelines and the revisions, to put together a long-range program for more experiments on potential dangers from this kind of genetic research.

Almost one-third of the genetic research covered by present guidelines will be exempted from the revised standards. However, the new guidlines will continue the. ban on six categories of potentially hazardous research, such as with deadly disease organisms. But the new rules permit the director of the Nationl Institutes of Heatlh to grant case-by-case exemptions. Califano expressed concern that the guidelines are mandatory only for federally financed research and not that of private industry, although most of industry claims to comply voluntarily.

To cover the gap, Califano said the Food and Drug Administration will propose regulations requiring compliance by the industries it regulates, such as pharmaceutical companies. And he asked the Environmental Protection Agency to see if its authority can cover research done by the rest.

Vance landed in the Middle East last Sunday there was reason to hope he could wrap up a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel in a week's time.

At the White House, there was more than hope. President Carter had sent Vance on his seventh trip to the area in less than two years. The president was determined the Camp David summit would be crowned with success. To drive the point home in Cairo and Jerusalem, Carter declared Analysis LESTER FLATT Research Medical Center Nov. 20.

LIZA MINNELLI, daughter of JUDY GARLAND, has obtained a restraining order in Santa Monica, halting sale of her late mother's possessions. Superior Court Judge Laurence Rittenband Friday Ordered Miss Garland's third husband, SID LUFT, to refrain from selling any more of his late wife's possessions. Rittenband continued until Jan. 5 a hearing on a lawsuit filed by Miss Minnelli seeking to have funds from a' Nov. 27 auction placed in the late singer's estate.

The auction of Miss Garland's possessions brought in about $225,000, including $60,000 for her 1953 Mercedes Jordan's KING HUSSEIN, in Rome for a two-day visit, met briefly with POPE JOHN PAUL but there was no official word on what was discussed. Vatican sources, however, said the two leaders exchanged views on the Middle East, Begin insists the two negotiations must be kept separate. 1 Carter's deadline may have complicated Vance's problems. As -the issues multiplied, Vance found himself 'with too little time to wrestle with them. Finally, he dropped his offer to mount an extended diplomatic shuttle and flew home Friday to join Carter for the dramatic announcement on normalizing relations with China.

Now, Carter, disappointed and quite likely angry, has to plan a salvage operation. The options open to him are few. The most likely, at the moment, is a cooling-off period of several weeks. This would serve two purposes Allow the U.S. pressure campaign against Israel to sink in.

Permit strategists to assess the mood in the Israeli and Egyptian governments. Vance and his Middle East experts, drawn from the State Department and the White House, fear erosion most of all. They are worried that Sadat's lack of support in the Arab world for peace with Israel may cause the Egyptian leader to back away from an agreement They are also worried that Begin's government and the Israeli people may be reconsidering the merits of a treaty with Egypt. Looking for a sUver they find in Israel's rejection of Egyptian proposals a hint that the U.S. idea of a target date will eventually be accepted.

And despite the Israeli Cabinet's unanimity, some of Begin's ministers are believed to be not all that opposed to the Egyptian proposals. Clearly, Sadat has the support of the Carter administration at this stage. Vance and his aides give Sadat full credit for dropping his demand for a step-by-step timetable on Palestinian autonomy and accepting the target date instead. the target date set in the Camp David "framework agreement" was a deadline. There was no mistaking Carter's message.

He wanted the treaty wrapped up by Sunday, Dec. 17, within a week of Vance's arrival. The Vance mission failed. In some ways, there are more unresolved issues now than there were when Vance touched down at a Cairo airport last Monday night and helicoptered to see Egyptian President Anwar Sadat What went wrong? Most importantly, Vance was unable to persuade Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin to accept the end of 1979 as a target date for Palestinian elections in Gaza and on the West Bank of the Jordan River. From an Israeli point of view, new demands by Sadat caused the setback.

Begin "went through the roof" when Vance brought him Sadat's proposals for linking the treaty to Palestinian autonomy, reporters traveling with Vance were told. The Israeli prime minister was especially furious over Sadat's decision to hold back on an exchange of ambassadors with Israel until the Palestinians gained self-rule bVGaza.

Country music star LESTER FLATT has left a Nashville hospital after 25 days of treatment for a brain hemorrhage. A Baptist Hospital spokesman, Paul Moore said doctors can't tell yet if the hemorrhage impaired Flatt's musicial skills. But he said the 64-year-old singer's condition had stabilized.

W. Glisson vows his dog, Spot, fishes, helps him drive, barks at squirrels and gets mad when they bark back. "It's the truth," claims Glisson, 68, with no hint of tongue-in-cheek. "I bet I've raised 25 dogs in my life and Spot's the smartest one I ever saw." Spot, 65 years his owner's junior, is a stocky rat terrier, all white except for a rim of black around one ear and a silver-dollar size patch of black on bis back. "That spot is how be got his name," explained Glisson, who lives and still farms along Childress Road in western McCracken County, "Spot was a Christmas present from my son," be added.

Glisson says Spot started fishing with him when the dog was a pup. His favorite fish story is about the time some other anglers saw Spot in action "and couldn't believe their eyes. "We were out on Lake Barkley in a boat and I baited a pole and dropped a minnow over the side," said Glisson. Bark when the cork bobs, he instructed Spot After about an hour, the cork did and Spot was on cue. Glisson hauled the fish in.

"A bunch of fellows from Indiana were fishing nearby, saw the whole thing and couldn't believe it" Glisson chuckled. On another fishing outing, Glisson landed a fat 28-pound catfish and had trouble holding it in the boat until Spot came to the rescue. "Spot grabbed that fish by the top fin and held on with his teeth," Glisson said. Spot also fetches fish from one end of the boat to the other, says Glisson. "When we're out crappie fishing, I tell him to bring me a fish and be will.

But if the fish starts flopping he'll bite its head." Spot's exploits have earned him the nickname "wonder dog" among fishermen who know him, says Glisson. When the fish aren't biting, Spot likes to ride in the cab of his owner's truck. Glisson claims the dog knows every inch of the road between Glisson's house and a granary in Mounds, 111. That's where Glisson sells his milo crop. On those trips, Glisson says, Spot is free with driving hints.
