Neither group is out in left field from a national standpoint. Hospitals in such places as Rochester, N.Y., and Dalton, to mention two, are experimenting with carpeting in place of tile floors.

Hamilton Memorial a 125-bed hospital in Dalton, has used carpeting in its administration areas for a year now. Results? Maintenance costs dropped more than below previous tile floor upkeep. Now Dalton is going to place carpeting in selected medical and surgical patient rooms. Both anti-bacterial chemically-treated and non-treated materials will be used. Periodic cultures for staph aureus and other bacteria from the patient room carpeting will be taken and tested.

Cannon, 19, of the Lincoln Air Base, was held at city jail and later was taken to hospital after he was found unconscious in his cell. Earlier two police cadets, Roger Cole aud Doug Ahlberg, who were off duty, reported a driver apparently tried to race with them. They said the driver went over an island on Capitol Parkway between 33rd and Everett, striking a sign, went into the opposite lane of traffic, forced another driver off the road, then drove away and was lost. Later a young women appeared at the police station, at first said she was driving the car on the parkway, but then told police Cannon was the driver. Police reports gave the following account of what transpired at headquarters: Cannon threatened several police officers, and at times required several officers and then a straight jacket to be restrained.

Cannon was lodged in a jail cell. When Traffic Lt. Reynold McMeen went to the cell to get Cannon, he found Cannon, apparently unconscious, hanging from a bunk with his trousers tied around his neck and the bunk. Officer John Marquette administered mouth to mouth resuscitation for about 10 minutes, and the fire department was called to administer oxygen to the man. Cannon was revived and taken to the hospital..
