Soviet documents One document showed that eight days after the assassination Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin turned over to the State Department his embassy's file on the request "by Oswald and his Russian-born wifer to return to the Soviet Union. Oswald, 24, was an ex-Marine who had gone to Russia and in 1959 tried to renounce his American citizenship. He had not completed the process and after living in Minsk for two years he married a Soviet citizen, Marina Nicholaevna, a pharmacist, and returned with her to the United States in 1962. The Soviet documents showed the Oswalds wanted to return to Russia in 1963. They cited Marina's "homesickness and unemployment." The request from Oswald to" the Soviet Embassy was dated Nov.

A message written less than one hour after the shooting and labeled "urgent" came from James Walsh, otherwise unidentified, on a Department of Justice Communications Section letterhead. "Get everyone involved in shooting the president and get them fast," it said. Focus on extremists The files also contain a memo Hoover wrote at 5:15 p.m. EST on the day of the murder. It made clear that even at that point he suspected Oswald was the marksman who killed the president.

Responding to a request from the Justice Department for information about the suspect to be included in a proclamation by the new president, Lyndon Johnson, Hoover said, "I thought very probably we had in custody the man who killed the president in Dallas but this had not definitely been established."

One of them, Cable Television Information Center of Washington, D.C., was the one recommended by the National Institute of Municipal Law Officers when consulted by McGuire. Canney said the company has wide experience with cable TV ordinances, and estimates its work could be done in about four weeks for $600. "I think we're going to want to sit down with the council and see if that's the way they want to go, but that would seem to be the most logical one," he said. "Our concern on any ordinance is to make sure the people of the city are protected, and at the same time to have an ordinance that's not so stringent that the company can't do business," he said. "I view the City Council in this thing as a regulatory agency with duties similar to those the Iowa Commerce Commission has in governing public utilities." How much time will it take to get an ordinance ready? "Obviously, the thing isn't going to be in operation tomorrow," Canney said.

"We're not trying to delay the thing, we're just wanting to make sure the people are protected." Canney said the ad hoc committee could include a representative of the cable company as well as local citizens and persons with technical and that's important in cable TV," he said. Asked if the size of the victory margin came as a surprise, Dowden said "yes, as a matter of fact, I was I thought it would be about 60, 61, 62 percent. I think that was the highest ever in the state." Cable television provides additional programs to subscribers who wish to' pay for them by originating and importing programming and transmitting it through wires rather than, over the airwaves. Local broadcast stations are included among the sta tions available on the cable; in ad-; vertisements, the company indicated 16 stations would be available ini-I tially and the cables follow underground utility lines. It all depends Where will the first cable customers live? "If you ask me what street or what neighborhood will be the first to hook up, I couldn't tell you and neither could anyone? else," Dowden said.

"The franchise is for the whole' city and we're committed to that." He said the actual starting point will depend upon the location chosen for the company's headquarters and on technical design work. The company's proposed ordinance specifies service to the whole city, within three years, and Dowden pointed out that the sooner the service is available, the better for the. company. "That's the name of the game; that's the business we're in," he said. Mild criticism of Linn jail condition in grand jury report and said he is familiar with the consultant firm the mayor mentioned.

"Tremendous market" Dowden said outside assistance could be particularly valuable on technical aspects of the ordinance, but cautioned against getting "bogged down" in committee work and stressed the need for "ample opportunity for input from the community." He said Cox officials were pleased at the election results, and think Cedar Rapids "is going to be a tremenand above that, cable television is going to be a great amenity for the community. "We're not going to hamper local broadcasters, as some people had feared. That hasn't happened in other places and it's too bad it was inserted into the campaign," he added, referring to editorials in The Gazette ahd on KCRG-TV opposing the referendum.

A man in the neighborhood watched the incident from a window of a nearby house.

Officials said Madden is awaiting sentencing following conviction on the robbery with aggravation charge. In January 1975, Madden was convicted on a charge of assault with intent to commit great bodily injury. That charge was lessened from assault with intent to murder after Madden shot a man in the face with a gun. Madden was sentenced to a year in prison on that charge. ing to the report, is "a superb function in this community.

Mr. and Mrs. Louis Hulseberg, the administrators, are doing a commendable job. The atmosphere was very open, friendly and positive." The administrator of the psychiatric unit at the care facility, the report said, was "a very friendly and understanding person. The care appears to be very good and positive in working with the patients in rehabilitation and getting the patients back into the community." juvenile detention center at the care facility was described as a "very fine facility." 'Not necessary' The grand jury suggested that construction of an exercise room for the center "is not necessary, as there is already a gymnasium at the care facility that could be used in conjunction with the other two facilities, namely the psychiatric unit and the county care facility.

This extravagance needs to be carefully considered by the board of supervisors." Supervisor Chairman Jean Oxley replied that consideration had been given to sharing the current facilities, but that it had been determined that doing so would jeopardize licensing of the facilities. In any case, she said, construction of the exercise room has already By Roland Krekeler Goiette courthouse reporter The Linn County grand jury today reported on its recent examination of the county jail, County Care Facility and the Community Corrections Center. The report was generally favorable, but contained criticism concerning maintenance of areas of the jail that since have been remodeled. "It is too bad," the report said, "that the areas already finished are not being maintained, i.e., the dirt on the jail bars could be cleaned once a week and kept in good repair. "The October 1976 of the grand jury recommended (and we further recommend) that the incentive program using the services of the inmates be instituted by the keeper to facilitate housekeeping duties at the Linn County Jail." Acting Sheriff Darold Smith said he did not care to comment on the report.

Remodeling work Concerning the remodeling work, the report said, "Things are moving along swiftly and the facility will be in much better condition when this is finished." The grand jury report said the Community Correction Center is "being used to good advantage. The facility was clean and the atmosphere was friendly and open." The County Care Facility, accord Apartment stripped by mistake LONDON (UPI) It was, Richmond borough council officials ad The order was issued 36 hours after Egypt severed diplomatic relations with five hard-line Arab nations which had condemned Sadat's peace overtures to Israel. The government-controlled press has accused the Russians of organizing Arab opposition to Sadat. Salem told the extraordinary session of Parliament that the Soviets and the previously identified East Bloc nations had progressed from "criticizing the (Sadat peace) initiative in their media and state-controlled press, to a stage that is definitely interference in the internal affairs of Egypt." Salem mentioned no deadline for the shutdown of the consulates and cultural offices. Counteroffensive It was another step in Egypt's counteroffensive against critics of Sadat's visit to Israel and further es-calated the tension between Cairo and Moscow.

Egypt expelled 5,000 Soviet advisers in 1972 and has attacked the Russians' refusal to reschedule loans to Egypt and to pro- Syria, Iraq, Libya, Algeria and South Yemen. Sadat did not break diplomatic relations with the Soviet bloc, however. The expulsion order was announced as King Hussein of Jordan arrived in Damascus in an apparent bid to mediate the bitter dispute between Syria and Egypt, and as Vance flew to Europe on a trip that will take him to the Middle East for a weekend peace shuttle mission. Remain In Cairo Prime Minister Mamdouh Salem told the Egyptian Parliament the shutdown affected cultural centers of the Soviet Union, East Germany, Hungary and Czechoslovakia and the consulates outside of Cairo of the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, East Germany and Poland. Consulates in Cairo will be allowed to remain.

"Inside and even outside their consulates and cultural centers, they attacked the Egyptian people's unanimous support of the initiative and contacted local agents to incite opposition to the initiative," Salem said. vide spare parts for Egypt's Soviet--made war materiel. With Egypt's latest move, Vance chided the Soviets for condemnation of Egypt and supporting Arab hardliners. He said Moscow's actions "raised questions" about its intentions in the Middle East. He said the United States would fully support Sadat's peace talks next week in Cairo and no longer be lieved resumption of the Geneva conference was necessary for Middle East peace, a major change in U.S policy.

Vance was leaving the United States today to attend a NATO meeting in Brussels and make a tour of. six Middle East capitals. He said his trip would support the "breakthrough" made by Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menahem Begin in their unprecedented talks in Jerusalem last month. "Our proper role is to support their progress and help broaden it to all fronts in the continuing search for a final settlement," he said. "It's possible to have a settlement without a Geneva conference." Sadat, in an interview published today, said he would carry on his negotiations with Israel alone if Syria and other Arab nations refused to negotiate.

He accused Moscow of goading hard-line Arabs in an effort to obstruct a settlement. Former Guard chief now target of federal probe mitted, "a ghastly mistake." Three days after moving into their new public housing apartment, Mr. and Mrs. Noel Haynes came home and found nearly all their possessions were gone. Burglars? No; city workers had stripped the apartment and destroyed almost all its contents by mistake.

The workmen had been told to clear some rubbish from a shed outside the Haynes' entrance. Instead, they entered the apartment, removed most of the contents and later destroyed them at a municipal dump. "Drawers had been turned out, clothes had been taken and the best of our furniture had gone," Mrs. Haynes said. "They didn't even go into the shed," her husband said.

"Instead, they let themselves into the apartment." They said missing items included a rented television set, two transistor radios, an alarm clock, a cocktail cabinet, four chairs, a sofa, a bedside table and many items of clothing and footwear. "We are taking statements from the workmen concerned," a council spokesman said.

It doesn't look like a sex attack we just don't know what we have." McDaniel also said he didn't think charges would be brought against the man who was taken in for questioning. 20 YEARS AGO Well-informed sources reported that Jugoslavia had renounced U.S. military aid.

We don't know when she would have gone, but it would have been to one of about three grocery stores close by within a few blocks." He continued, "We think whoever it was met Miss Wortmann outside her apartment. There was no sign of forced entry. And there's a bolt lock on this door." Miss Wortmann was found fully clothed, wearing her coat and gloves.

Hedges was arrest ed early this morning at the intersect tion of First Avenue and First Street West. DES MOINES (AP) The former leader of the Iowa National Guard, Adjutant Gen. Joseph May, is the subject of a federal criminal investigation, U.S.

District Attorney Roxanne Conlin said Tuesday. May, aMieutenant general, re-sighed his post as head of the Iowa National Guard last summer as the result of a controversy about his use of a Guard plane to visit his fiancee in Florida. May reimbursed the National Guard $2,300 to cover the trips. But an Army report issued after an investigation recommended that he pay an additional $22,637. Ms.

Conlin said the report she received from the Army is "clearly not complete." She said she has requested additional information. Ms. Conlin said she wants everything the government has in connection with the case because her reading of the Army report indicates it not conducted with a view toward determining whether there were violations of criminal statutes, but rather, whether the allegations concerning his conduct were true."
