Hip Surgery Mitchell Back In Capital John Mitchell, the crusty Wall Street lawyer who rose to national power under Richard Nixon and became mind in the Watergate cover-up conspiracy, is back in the nation's capital as a patient. The 94-year-old former attorney general, a federal prisoner on a medical furlough for 1ft days, faces the possibility of hip surgery. Mitchell was scheduled to enter Georgetown University Hospital today for additional tests to determine whether he should undergo hip- replacement surgery Recovery from such surgery take weeks. Mitchell is due back at the minimum- security federal prison camp at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama on Jan. 15 appears he will need a hip- replacement procedure, but the final decision will not be made until completion of the medical tests," said Dr.

P.M. Palumbo. an orthopedic surgeon who served with the Washington Redskins football team for five years Palumbo examined Mitchell for more than three hours Thursday and said later that "preliminary" tests show he may have to have his hip replaced. Mitchell was freed from the federal prison three days after Christmas for the examination. The ailment causes "constant pain and (Mitchell) is taking too much valium just to try and ease the pain." his lawyer said in a petition for the furlough, Mitchell walked unassisted from the prison Wednesday and flew by private jet to Washington.

Federal officials said Mitchell's safety could not be guaranteed at the Federal Prison Medical Center at Springfield. Mo where ailing federal prisoners ordinarily are taken. Two other former top aides to Nixon. John Ehrlichman and Haldeman. were given Christmas-season furloughs Ehrlichman will be paroled in April Mitchell and Haldeman, who both entered prison in June, are eligible for parole in June 1979 All three initially were sentenced to John Mitchell servp .10 months to eight years for their rolm in the Watergate cover-up conspiracy The sentences were reduced to onp to four years in October by U.S District Court Judge John Sirica Opposition Heard To Burning Idea A recent suggestion by county officials that Raleigh County residents could help solve the county's garbage disposal burning portions of their household trash has drawn unfavorable response from an official of the state Air Pollution Control Commission (APCCi, Carl Beard of the APCC said his agency strongly discourages all burning of trash and would actively oppose any sanction of such activity by any other governmental agency.

Carl Lucas of the District IV headquarters of the state Department of Natural Resources DNR in MacArthur also said he would not recommend to citizens that they burn trash in open areas. In addition. Becklev Fire Chief James Lipscomb stated that ordinances exist which prohibit the open burning of trash within the city limits These comments were made in response to a suggestion by President Minor Scott at Tuesday's meeting of the Raleigh County Commission. Scott discussed this action with com- missioners Jack Roop and Howard K. "Sarge" Manning as a possible method of decreasing the amount of household garbage handled by the county's solid waste disposal system and, therefore, reducing the commission's expenses in operation of the system.

He said he believes the amount of garbage processed through this system could be cut by as much as 50 percent if residents would begin burning all waste paper and taking only other items of trash to "green box" disposal sites or the county sanitary landfill at Lanark Beard explained he does not believe burning is the answer to Raleigh County's trash problems, remarking that problems attributable to increased amounts of garbage are nuisances for any area growing as rapidly as Becklev and Raleigh County. He said the amount of air pollution in the county is "marginal." but added that open burning of trash could lead to serious air pollution problems Beard said he would encourage the commission to take any other measures necessary to bring local trash problems Woman Pleads Innocent I InlmutMul (iMrtestm Mary Etta Pizzino of Charleston, an employee of the state Welfare Department, 'has pleaded innocent to a charge of illegally issuing authorization cards (or food stamp coupons The defendant, indicted on five counts of falsely issuing authorization cards, entered the plea in t'S District Court in Charleston yesterday. scheduled Feb 2 in Becklev In other year-end court activity.

was released when a pipe ruptured at the Shamrock Electro Chemical Division plant, a company spokesman said He said the fumes dissipated within a half hour Workers at the near- hv Du Pont plant were given oxygen after inhaling the fumes under control Lucas said DNR regulations allow open burning, although it is limited to the hours between 5 and 5 a during the two forest fire seasons each year March through May and October through December He added, though, that the DNR does not encourage open burning of trash due to the potential forest fire hazard it could present He said ho would not recommend that county residents burn any items made of paper Lipscomb said city ordinances originally prohibited all open burning in Becklev. but added that Common Council recently relaxed these restrictions to allow citizens to burn vegetation such as trw limbs and leaves A resident planning to burn such items should first contact the fire department to make them aware of a potentially hazardous situation In many cases, he said, a fireman may be sent the site to oversee the burning in caw the fire gets out of control.
