Investigations began after a computer in Allstate's Long Island headquarters turned up discrepancies. Suspicion fell on Klein, a 13-year veteran with Allstate who earned $19,000 a year. It was discovered that amounts ranging from $10,000 to $30,000 had been paid by the insurance company to settle fraudulent claims, according to Merola.

Also included in the indictments was attorney Edward Porcelli, 40, of 4465 Douglas Riverdale, Bronx, who was accused of perjury.

An average of 16 minutes elapses from the time a call is placed to the moment an ambulace arrives at the scene, reported Donald Rowan, director of the city's Emergency Medical Services. Although the response time in some other cities is as low as six minutes, that figure is virtually impossible to achieve in New York, primarily because of traffic congestion, Rowan said.

"The best we could do is perhaps 10 to 12 minutes," said Rowan, and each minute knocked off the response time would cost a million dollars. The money would be used to improve equipment, to hire additional- personnel and to hook up the ambulance network to the emergency 911 telephone number. Rowan testified before the Assembly Committee on Legislative Oversight and Investigation, which held a daylong hearing in the state offices at 80 Centre St. outside the home have no greater risk of developing heart disease than housewives do. In fact, the study found the lowest rate of heart disease among single work-But some groups of working women were found' to run a higher risk of developing coronary heart disease.

The highest -rate was found among clerical workers, and the risk of heart disease was directly related to emotional factors in these women, the study found. "The most significant predictors of coronary heart disease among clerical workers were: suppressed hostility, having a nonsupportive boss and decreased job mobility," the epidemiologists reported. The very highest risk was found in women in clerical jobs who had three or more children and were married to blue-collar workers. The increased incidence of heart disease in these women may have something to do with the economic pressures behind their decision to go to work, but the exact meaning of the finding is not clear, the researchers said. "The occupational status of one's spouse reflects not only an economic status but also certain life-style behaviors and attitudes not measured in this study," they said.

By EDWARD EDELSON Science Editor Working women who also are trying to raise a large family are twice as likely to have a heart attack as housewives with the same family responsibilities, according to a new "These findings suggest that the dual roles of employment and raising a family may produce excessive demands on working women," epidemiologists Suzanne G. Haynes and Manning Feinleib of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute reported in the American Journal of Public Health. "Perhaps demands on the job, coupled with demands at home, explain the high incidence of coronary heart disease among working women with several children." -The repdrt was based on a study of 350 housewives, 387 working women and 580 men participating in the Framingham Heart in which investigators have been following the residents of that Massachusetts town for well over a decade.
