Doctors encouraged TOT by Douglas progress Continued from Page i WASHINGTON (AP)-Ailing Justice William 0. Douglas "has shown improvement in his left-side weakness" and has begun physical therapy, a Supreme Court spokesman said today. In a statement issued to reporters just before noon, the court's information officer, Barrett McGurn, said: "Justice Douglas spent a restful night and has shown improvement in his left-side weakness. He continues on anticoagulants and began physical therapy yesterday.

He is His vital signs remain stable and he is resting comfortably." Earlier the 76-year-old Justice's personal physician, Dr. Thomas Connelly of Arlington, said doctors treating Douglas are encouraged by his progress. "Right now things look good," Connally said. Connelly said it was impossible to tell how long recovery would take or whether Douglas would be able to resume the bench during the current term ending in June. However, it was considered unlikely that Douglas would be back at work when the court's Christmas recess ends.

Douglas was admitted to Walter Reed Army Medical Center on Wednesday after suffering a stroke New Year's Eve in Nassau, the Bahamas.

"I think it was clear to Mrs. Douglas that he had had a stroke," he said. He said the justice did not lose consciousness.

Douglas and his wife, Cathy, were flown to Washington in an Air Force plane through arrangements made by President Ford. A statement issued Thursday by the court's information officer, Barrett McGurn, said there was "no evidence of mental impairment" as a result of the stroke. "Physicians are treating Justice Douglas with anticoagulants to lessen the possibility of blood clots moving from the heart," the statement said. "Justice Douglas' condition continues to be officially categorized as serious but his vital signs are stable and he is alert." Connally, asked about the nature of the stroke, responded: "There is a feeling that it may have been a blood clot from his heart that went to the brain. That is the presumption," Douglas has worn an electronic pacemaker since 1968 to correct an abnormally slow heartbeat.

an hour. "A nurse later told me she had tried to go into the delivery room and get the baby to take it to the morgue. She said she didn't have the heart to do that with me standing right there, so she waited." An orderly went into the delivery room to clean up, heard a noise and saw a movement under a sheet on a table. "When the orderly saw the movement and lifted the sheet, he was amazed to find a baby there," McFarland said. The baby was rushed to the intensive care unit and put into an incubator.

A spokeswoman for the hospital said Michael was delivered by a second-year resident who "no longer is with us." Crisis followed crisis and several times the McFarlands were told that Mike might not make it. But, three months after he was born, Mike was sent home. Today Mike, who is inches tall and weighs 31 pounds, gets physical therapy once a week to develop motor coordination in his left hand, Which has not yet gained its full strength.

of Odessa. WACO, Tex. (AP) -The Mental Health and Mental Retardation Department's regional board has revealed that a methadone program here had trouble from its beginning. In a special emergency session, the board agreed Thursday to suspend the program pending further study of its effectiveness and safety. State officials said earlier this week, that Robert Lee Spratt, 33, and Arthur Joe Williams, 32, who died Christmas Day, could have received a large overdose because of a misunderstanding in the measurement of doses administered at the clinic.

In a statement Thursday, the board said the overdoses "resulted from an honest mistake" and that the personnel involved in administering the methadone had acted "in absolute good faith." In its day-by-day account of the methadone program, which began Dec. 20., the board said Bank hikes prime rate NEW YORK (AP) First National City Bank announced today an increase in its prime lending rate from 10 per cent to 10.25 per cent. The prime lending rate is that charged by a bank on loans to its most credit-worthy business customers. It does not directly affect the rate charged on consumer and small business loans but indicates the availability of money. The 10.25 per cent rate is the norm throughout the banking industry, although others remain at the 10 per cent level.

all 15 clients in the drug treatment program had been given ten times the intended dosages. The board admitted that on the first day, one client did have a serious reaction and was treated with Larfan, a drug described as a treatment of narcotic overdose. Methadone is a synthetic drug used to help reduce a person's dependency on heroin. Susan Reese, director of Adult Mental Health Services said the measuring device used for the methadone dosages did not indicate whether the unit of measurement was milligrams or cubic centimeters. A cubic centimeter is a measure of volume while a milligram is a measurement of weight, Ehrlichman bills top $400,000 SEATTLE (AP) John D.

Ehrlichman, convicted of conspiracy and perjury in the Watergate cover-up, says his legal bills already exceed $400,000. "I haven't had a bill from an attorney yet," he told newsmen Thursday night after he arrived by air from Washington, D.C. Ehrlichman also said he was negotiating with the Mutual Broadcasting System for a job as a political commentator, "but we haven't firmed anything up yet." Ehrlichman established a lucrative career here as a zoning and land-use lawyer before joining the White House as chief domestic adviser to former President Richard M. Nixon. He said he would file a motion for a new trial and, failing that, would appeal the verdict handed down New Year's Day, IBBw TFlff "ONE OF THE BEST EVER MADE!"
