Audit may change Medicaid program COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Federal recommendations that come out of a jtwedent-setting audit of the state's Medicaid program could change the ijrstem nationwide, a state legislative Midget officer said Thursday. The precedent being established is not that the General Accounting Office "is studying the state program, which it frequently does, but that it has undertaken an audit of this scope. VS.

Comptroller General Elmer B. tents recommended the top-to-bottom audit at the urging of Ohio's legislative delegation last fall. But his recom- njcndatlon to Sen. Abraham Ribicoff, carried some disclaimers. Ribicoff is chairman of the Senate Committee on Government Operations.

"Nevertheless," Staats wrote, "because of our desire to be of assistance to the states in this im- ifertant area and in view of what we ciicve that we and the Congress can from our participation in a a com- whenslve review of a single state rogram, I have concluded that we nould respond In a positive manner to tjWo's request." i UK GAO has a staff of 11 working with the assistance of 10 state imjrioyes in an attempt to learn how the togram might be tightened to provide letter service to Ohloans and to save (he state and federal governments noney. The audit is three weeks into an injected sin-month life with the federal eport of the GAO's findings not elected for a year. Richard. Sheridan, director of the egislative budget office which ncnitors fiscal matters for the General Assembly, disputed earlier claims that the audit is centering on discovery of fraud or abuse. "That's really peripheral," he said.

"Medicaid costs are not Just an Ohio problem. Health care-payments are taking a larger and larger share of the gross national product. The GAO may use this audit as a federal prototype for suggestions it will make to other states with Medicaid problems." He said the auditors might report that the Ohio program is a model for others to follow, "Although that's unlikely," he said, considering the political storm that brewed all summer and fall between Republican Gov. James A. Rhodes and Democratic legislators.

The tension over the $540-million-a- year program eased somewhat when a Medicaid reform bill passed the legislature last fall. That measure called for the GAO audit. Sheridan said the GAO staff, led by project manager Tom Dowdal from the agency's Washington, D.C. office, is looking at four segments of the Ohio program. The question of eligibility for the joint state-federal assistance program will be probed.

He noted that the thrust of this segment of the study is not to determine solely if there are ineligible recipients on the rolls, but to check the efficiency of the decision-making process. A second team is checking surveillance, a third claims processing and a fourth the "benefit structure." Dowdal would not say what the auditors expect to find, claiming "We -are not prejudicing ourselves with preconceived notions." Carter to begin work minus three Cabinet nominees (AP) President Carter will begin work without three of ps Cabinet nominees who have to wait It least until next week to take office. A few hours after Carter took the oath JH office on the Capitol steps Thursday, Senate confirmed by voice vote tight of his Cabinet choices and two tominees for top economic posts. But several Republican senators temanded more time for debate and till-caU votes on the nominations of taeph C. Calif ano Jr.

to be secretary of lealth, education and welfare, Griffin I. Bell to be attorney general and F. lay Marshall to be secretary of labor. None of the nominations was con- lidered in jeopardy. All 11 nominees previously won approval of Senate committees.

Califano's nomination will be voted Jin Monday after a debate limited to two pours. Sen. Robert W.

Adrian Brown, general campaign Wtnun, Mid Marches will conducted In most of the Miami rillt chapter including iwrr, dirt, Greene, Miami, Shelby, and Preble press opposition to Califano's stand against abortions. On Tuesday, under an agreement to limit debate to eight hours, the Senate will turn to Bell. Sen.

Edward W. Brooke, and others wanted time to review the extensive committe testimony on Bell's civil rights record. After voting on Bell, the nomination of labor economist Marshall will be taken up, with no time limit yet set on debate. This is unlikely to be before Wednesday. Some conservative Republicans, including Sens.

Paul Laxalt of Nevada and Orrin G. Hatch of Utah, oppose Marshall as too prolabor, particularly because he favors repeal of a federal law allowing states to ban the union shop. The only Cabinet nominees acted on Thursday were those on which no senator asked for a roll call vote. Leaders agreed to the procedure to spare senators time to attend the inaugural festivities. In order, the Senate confirmed: Secretary of Defense Harold Brown; Secretary of the Interior Cecil Andrus; Secretary of Treasury W.

Michael Blumenthal; Secretary of State Cyrus Vance; Secretary of Commerce Juanita Kreps; Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Patricia Roberts Harris; Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland and Secretary of Transportation Brock Adams. The Senate also approved Thomas B. Lance as director of the Office of Management and Budget and Charles Schultze as chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers.

He came, and here, in his words (and his spelling) as he wrote them longhand, is his report.

By CRAIG W. SULLIVAN For The Associated Press. WASHINGTON (AP) The first thing that happend at the Inauguration was the marine band played a few DPL men phonies The Dayton Power Light Co. has issued a warning that none of its employes are going door-to- door advising residents to turn down thermostats. DPL spokesmen said yesterday residents had called to report men in DPL uniforms, driving green cars, had been warning them thermostats should be turned down to 55 degrees.

"We do not have our people doing this. Our people would be driving white cars with the blue DPL sign on them and would carry proper identification," a spokesman said. Asked if the fact the people were wearing DPL uniforms might indicate striking DPL workers were going door-to-door to cause the firm problems, the spokesman refused to comment, noting "you can draw your own conclusions." 1 songs. A black chours sang a couple of songs after Then the speaker of the house said a few words. The black chours sang three songs.

The were, Hail to the chife, Hooray for the red white and blue, and America the Buautiful. The Inauguration took place at the Capitil. The Capitil had a statue at the top of the bidding. It looked sort of like the statue of Liberty. There were a couple of policeman at the top of the building.

At noon Walter Mondale was sworn in. At twelve two Jimmy Carter was sworn in. In about the begining of September I wrote to Jimmy Carter. I got a postcard responsing back. Then on December 29, 1976 I got an invatation to the Inauguration.

That's how I got to be here. After both Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale got sworn in, some cannons started shooting bomb sounds. Around the middle of the Inauguration the wind started to blow. It got bitter cold. After Jimmy Carter got sworn in he made a speech he told about what he was going to do and some things about the ford family some other things.

On our way to the Capitil for the Inauguration they were setting up for the '77 Inauguration parade. I saw Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale in the parade. There was an inormus crowd at the Inauguration. The crowd was all around the Capitil back yard grounds. On my way up to the Capitil I walked past some very nice buildings.

China has nuclear warheads TOKYO (AP) A Pelting newspaper reported today that China has succeeded in manufacturing missiles with nuclear warheads, the Kyodo news service reported from the Chinese capital. The Japanese correspondent said the Kwangming Daily, an organ of Chinese minority parties, reported: "China succeeded ill the trial manufacture of atomic and hydrogen bombs arid nuclear-armed missiles at a relatively early date after the founding of the People's Republic, ending the monopoly of such weapons by the Russian revisionists and American Imperialists." Kyodo said this was the first confirmation that the Chinese were now manufacturing nuclear-armed missiles. The dispatch said the article was written by a group of theoreticians among officials of the national defense industry. The Kyodo report did not give further- details. The Chinese exploded, their first nuclear test in 1964,15 years after the Communists completed their conquest of mainland China.

They have set off 20 atomic or hydrogen bombs since then'. Reports from Peking in November after the 21st test said Western military sources in Peking concluded that the test indicated the Chinese had completed a hydrogen warhead for long- range missiles. The sources also said the Chinese were believed to have developed ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles) with a range of 2,100 to 4,000 miles; Since July, 1975, the Chinese have launched four earth satellites, and one in November 1975 was reported to have been recovered on the ground. Clarification A report from the Miami County Municipal Court, which Thursday's Daily Call, erroneously stated that Nelson Watren, of 1901 Covington was sentenced to months in jail on an assault charge. All but 12 days of Watren's jail sentence was suspended, as was 150 of a fine issued by Judge James Hooper.
