Continued from page 1A: -Young- Carter resolution supporting Palestinian statehood. It is not clear, though, whether Young also will be under instruction to block any changes in standing U.N.

resolutions that refer to the Palestinians entirely as a refugee problem. Robert Strauss, chief U.S. mediator for the Middle East, gave assurances to Israel earlier this week that the administration would oppose any modification of the resolutions. But Yehuda Blum, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, said after a meeting with Young Monday night that the ambassador could give no such promise. Strauss leaves late this afternoon for Israel to confer with Prime Minister Menachem Begin.

This weekend Strauss will fly on to Egypt to see President Anwar Sadat. C.R. weather Coralville Lake High Wednesday 69 Pool Low 49 11 a.m. 64 Precipitation Wednesday none Travelers forecast Total for 2.48 Friday Normal for August. 3.35 Bismarck.

Continued from page 1A: Turner plant sold They said it is expected large numbers of Turner employees may wish to move with their jobs and that as many as possible. will. do so. They said "generous arrangements" would be made for the move. In the meantime, Executive Vice President John A.

Howe of Telex Communications will be in charge of the move and will be in the Cedar Rapids plant "almost daily" until the move is completed, they said. The Turner Division has been on the market since June. The sale was announced and effective Wednesday, according to a joint announcement by Telex and by Conrac which has its headquarters in Stamford, Conn. Founded in January 1931, the Turner plant had operated as a division of Conrac since 1967. Conrac had announced on June 5 that the Turner division had been incurring substantial losses for 18 months and that the board of directors had authorized its sale.

It had been operated since that time as a discontinued division, which means that its operating figures no longer were included with the corporation's in financial reports. Ansel Kleiman, Telex Communications president, said Thursday the closing of the Cedar Rapids plant "is a sad kind of thing. This is a good company, honored in the industry." He said the change will be made as painless for the employees as the company can make it. "The people are the most important asset here. We are not unsympathetic." Employes were told of the move Thursday morning at a meeting in the plant.

Kleiman said the employes will be interviewed individually a and that schedules for the move will be set up for the best benefit of both the people and the company. Turner, Kleiman continued, was a victim of the chaos in the citizen band radio market, and the kind of growth provided to meet the heavy demand is difficult to abandon. trouble is that you have to wipe it out and start over, and that would be difficult to do here." He said Telex believes that the Turner portion of the business can be restored in two or three years to where it was before the citizen band radio boom began, which he said was about 250 people and a volume of about $5 million a year. There now are 170 employees, about 120 of them in the factory. There were 1,200 employees at the peak of the CB boom 1976.

In the process of restoring the Turner product lines, he said, the citizen band portion will be de-emphasized and other portions built up. In addition to CB antennas, the company makes microphones for professional use in recording and public address systems, for use by police and fire departments, taxicabs and other fleet operators, and transducers for use in computer interfaces. Telex, he said, has the technology available in its present operations to Classified. The Auto Mart Flowers For All Occasions 'FOR 66 YEARS JOHN E.

The Turner product line, Kleiman concluded, is one his company always has wanted to enter, and Telex looked it over before the company was sold to Conrac. "But we were too small at the time, and didn't have the resources." The combination, he said, should enhance both product lines. "We will get true economy of scale." Participating in the Thursday morning press conference with Kleiman and Howe was Paul Graf of Conrac headquarters in Stamford. Dollar figures on the Turner operation have never been publicly singled out from the Conrac reports, so no figures are available on the size of its operation.

Telex had revenues of 000 in the fiscal year ended March 31. Net income was $5,358,000, which figures out to 45 cents per share of common stock. Revenues were higher than in the previous year, when the total was $140,460,000. Net income was higher $8,454,000, or 78 cents a share. However, the 1978 net income included an extraordinary credit of $4.7 million for tax loss carry-forward, more than off-setting the $3.1 million drop and giving the company an apparent increase in net income from operations for the year.

Pershare earnings have steadily increased in recent years. The company's stock, traded on the New York, Midwest, Philadelphia, Boston, Cincinnati and Pacific stock exchanges, has ranged from cents a share 11 years ago to $31 in 1970. Present price is near $5. The company never has paid a cash dividend but issued a stock dividend in 1964. The Turner plant was begun as an offshoot of the John B.

Turner and Son funeral home, making sound systems for funeral homes. It got into the microphone business because it had difficulty buying satisfactory microphones. The sound systems eventually were discontinued. The company also made embalming machines for many years. City Briefs More briefs on page 5B Keg Beer, Murray's Grocery, 364- 7256 Adv.

Insurance boom WASHINGTON (AP) The number of people employed by insurance companies in the United States has nearly tripled since 1945, according to the American Council of Life Insurance. It says that in 1945 the insurance business employed some 600,000 persons in all of its branches.

Today, the business employs some 1.7 million persons. the press spokesman admitted she was told "it could change." As the riverboat proceeds toward St. Louis, several other stops are scheduled as of now. When the journey was first announced, plans called for stops at Davenport and Burlington, and at Hannibal, with the president delivering messages about his energy policies. "No major address" is planned in the Prairie du ChienMcGregor visit.

That itinerary has been expanded somewhat, to include a Monday morning stop in Dubuque, although details of the visit, including length of the layover, have not been disclosed. The stop has been variously reported to be from one to three hours long. A spokesman for Sen. Culver said the luncheon in Culver's house, a former hotel that has been restored and converted to a residence, will be a private affair for the Culvers and Carters. No staff members are invited.

Culver is spending August in Iowa while Congress is in recess. There was no indication what subjects might be discussed during the luncheon. 20 YEARS AGO Vice President Nixon said the Soviets had refused to show him missile production facilities during his visit to Russia.
