Hospital trustees Monday approved the $11.1 budget, clearing it for review next month by Natrona County commissioners. New patient rates under the budget already have gone into effect, however. More than ten per cent of fiscal 1978's $1.6 million increase is earmarked for upgrading the hospital's lowerpaid positions as well as for meeting increased supply costs. High turnover in those wage areas? 77. per cent or 22 per cent above the national average for such employes in 1976 earlier prompted concern among hospital administrators and trustees.

However, hospital controller Keith Hovland noted nonprofessionals' new average starting wage, up 30 cents per hour to $2.75, still falls "somewhat below" the city and county average of $3 per hour. A cost-of-living raise estimated at 7-8 per cent for professional, management and supervisory employes also is included in the budget, Hovland said. He said a new fringe benefit, group health insurance, accounts for another $133,000 of the increase. A large portion of the budget increase more than one-third is slated for increased activity in certain treatment and services areas. Increased use is anticipated for the emergency room which soon will expand to round-the-clock service laboratory, respiratory care unit and radiology.

About $100,000, or 1.1 per cent of the budget increase is earmarked for the hospital's newly -required participation in the state and federal unemployment insurance program. Rate changes, which went into effect Tuesday, are: private rooms, up from $80 to $90 dally; semi-private, $72 to $82; ward, $64 to $75; intensive care and coronary, $175 to $200; delivery room, $100 to $150; and They opposed transfusion DENVER (UPI) William Bradford said he respects the medical profession and the courts even though they were responsible for providing blood transfusions against his wishes for his 6-year-old critically injured daughter last week. The girl, Ricarda Loreley Bradford, died Friday on her sixth birthday, despite the effort of surgeons at St. Anthony Hospital. Doctors obtained a court order allowing the transfusions after Bradford said it violated his religious beliefs as a member of the Jehovah's Witness faith.

Bradford said he and his wife had a moral obligation to oppose the blood transfusion for their daughter, who was injured in an auto accident, because three times in the Bible, God commands man "to abstain from blood." "We a are thankful for the medical profession, the judicial system and the courts," Bradford said. "But we are Couple arraigned CASPER A young Casper couple Tuesday was arraigned on drug charges including cultivation of marijuana. Bond for Dennis and Kathy Frye, both 20, of 1404 W. Thirteenth, was set at $1000 each by Justice of the Peace S.E. Davidson.

The couple was arrested after a county Drug Task Force agent in April and May allegedly purchased marijuana from both and LSD from Frye, and was shown marijuana plants growing in a bedroom of their home. Frye is charged with two counts of delivery of marijuana, one of delivery of LSD, one count each of possession of marijuana and LSD, and one count of cultivating marijuana. The five counts filed against the woman all relate to marijuana: one count of possession, one of delivery, two of conspiring to deliver, and one of cultivating. THE LOCKHORNS TOES LEROY'5 MOTHER SAYS HE NEVER 5-18 RAN AWAY FROM HOME, BUT SHE AND HIS FATHER OFTEN DID." Groucho conservator says his job's tough SANTA MONICA, Calif. (UPI) Nat Perrin, the man appointed to take care of comedian Groucho Marx, said Tuesday he will not continue in the job for more than three months because of its intense demands.

"I just don't want to devote my life to that," Perrin said. Perrin was appointed temporary conservator of Marx' personal life and is charged with making all decisions regarding the 86-year-old entertainer's health and well- being, from supervising Marx' 24-hour health care to maintaining daily household operations in the comedian's Truesdale Estates home, "The job has become quite a responsibility," Perrin, 72, said in an interview. "I get calls all the time from the house when I'm at home, when I'm out to dinner and when I'm at parties. "It's a continuous job and I can't even get out of town. It has become quite a responsibility," Perrin explained.

administration, including U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young. The scope of the questioning was similar to that of the earlier radio show, with queries ranging from the closing of military bases to his provision of amnesty to some illegal aliens. The President appeared to be relaxed and enjoying the exchanges. Responding to a question about Americans now in Mexican prisons, he said, "I'll do all I can to get our youngsters out.

I think a treaty is the best way to do it and I don't think it'll be too long before we have an exchange." The administration is currently negotiating treaties with Mexico and Canada that would allow the citizens of one country, jailed in the other, to serve their sentence in their native land. A university student complained that the President's national energy policy proposals would make stiffer demands on the public than on business. Carter rejected that, saying, "I don't believe it does." "On balance, neither the private citizen nor the large business will get unfair advantage," he said. He responded to a questioner upset with the postal service by saying, "I haven't even been in office four months yet." But after saying he would support federal subsidy of the postal service while "studying the question" of how to improve service, he concluded, "I don't know how to answer the Congress gets Cuba treaty WASHINGTON (UPI) President Carter Tuesday sent Congress a fishing agreement reached with Cuba, the second bilateral accord in 16 years of hostility. between the two nations.

-It is seen as a major step toward improved relations. The two-part agreement was reached April 27 after bargaining between U.S. and Cuban officials in New York and Havana. When Assistant Secretary of State Terence Todman went to Havana for that part of the talks, he became the first U.S. official to visit Cuba since the two countries broke relations in January of 1961.

Since the measure deals with fishing rights under the 200-mile limit adopted March 1 by both the United States and Cuba, it goes to Congress as a resolution, must pass both the House and Senate, and to "remain close to the American people," the President took questions from a studio audience of about 170 at Los Angeles station KNXT-TV and from outside callers in alive, local telecast. "I am against he told one questioner. "I think abortion is wrong. I'm doing every thing I can as President to make abortion unneeded. "'We propose that government not help.

abortions." It was unclear just what Carter meant by that reference, or whether it signalled a new administration pollcy initiative. He has said he will carry out laws requiring federal funding of some abortions under welfare programs despite his personal moral opposition to it. Carter- appeared on the question and answer show after he had addressed the United Auto Workers convention in Los Angeles. It was the latest in his "meet-thepeople" public relations efforts, and was somewhat similar in format to the "Ask President radio phone-in program he conducted from the Oval Office March 5. Ellen Moore, a black hospital worker who lives in the Watts ghetto section of Los Angeles, questioned Carter sharply on the number of -blacks occupying leading positions in his administration, saying, twe gave all our votes to you." Carter assured her "there are no jobs that would be offered for which black people are not considered." He recited a brief list of blacks in his be signed by the President.

The resolution speeds up the procedure in the law creating the limit, which allows agreements to take effect unless Congress disagrees within 60 days. The deal gives Cuba limited fishing rights within the U.S. 200-mile limit and lets boats of both countries fish the overlapping territorial waters in the 90- mile-wide Florida Straits. Except for the special conditions in the Florida Straits, the agreement is similar to ones reached already with 10 other nations, including the Soviet Union, Japan, and other countries which fish extensively in U.S. waters.

The United States has allowed these countries to take limited fish catches from U.S. waters under special licenses. Davis funeral is Thursday TORRINGTON Funeral services for Laura Mae Davis, 76, of Redwood City, will be held at the Collier Funeral Home in Torrington at 2 p.m. Thursday, May 19, with the Rev. Martin Harmon of the Berian Fundamental Church officiating.

Mrs. Davis died at Redwood City Sunday, May 15. She was born May 15, 1901, at Spalding, Neb. On May 15, 1915, she married Lawrence Cress at Albion, Neb. The couple lived in East Lake, North Platte, Neb, and Morrill, Neb.

She is survived by six sons, Clell Cress, Huntley; Walter Cress of Redwood, Louis Cress, Cheyenne; Nicklous Cress and Clyde Cress of Modesto, Calif; Charles Cress, Kansas City, two daughters, Mrs. Lorraine Hendrickson, Minneapolis, and Mrs. Joan Misslitz, Belmont, Calif; two brothers, Clyde and Charley Jones, of Huntley; one sister, Mrs. Cleo Williams of International Falls, 31 grandchildren and seven greatgrandchildren.

Sheridan resident succumbs SHERIDAN Funeral services for Bernard Alfred Scott, 59, will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday at the First Presbyterian Church with Rev. Robert Palmer officiating.

Scott died Saturday in the Sheridan Memorial Hospital. He was born in Buffalo, the son of James and Virgie Scott, and came to Sheridan in 1938. He married Mary Ruth Aspaas in Sheridan. Scott served in the Navy World War II. He was a serviceman for In Frickey's Plumbing and Heating Co.

One surgeon told Bradford they avoided telling the family about the legal action because "he did not want to add a further burden on us." The youngster died two days after she was struck by a car when she darted into a street. Bradford, a production coordinator in a banking firm's data processing department, said although the action violated his religious beliefs he does not intend to file a lawsuit. "We have no intention to do so and have told the doctors this," Bradford said. "We have nothing against doctors. We respect the medical Bradford and his wife sought out the 20-year-old driver of the car which struck their daughter and told young woman they bore no 111 feelings for what happened.

"We know that Loreley is guaranteed a resurrection into the new system," Bradford said. "What's left is that we, the surviving parents, must do God's will to the full, so that we may also be there to see her when she comes back. "God does not plan this," Bradford said.
