Tighter Security Urged for Oakdale IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) Tighter security at the Security Medical Facility at Oakdale has been recommended by a Johnson County grand jury. In a 17-page report, the grand jury said Tuesday that many problems have arisen because "the thinking of the Oakdale staff" is directed toward treatment and rehabilitation instead of concern for prisoner security. The grand jury report made numerous recommendations, including building higher fences around the facility's grounds and eliminating the "club-like decor" of the visitors' lounge to eliminate hiding places for "small weapons and narcotics." The superintendent of the facility, Harold Farrier, said some of the grand jury's suggestions were "quite reasonable," although he said they would require increased funds and staff. But he took issue with what he termed "the description of Anna lengeman Glidden Age 85 Casket will be moved to the United Methodist Church, Glidden, at noon Thursday. Family Prayer Service, 1 :45 p.m.

Thursday at the church. Funeral Services 2:00 p.m. Thursday at United Methodist Church, Glidden. Officiating: Rev. H.

Wallace Kinzler Interment: Coon Rapids, City Cemetery. SHARP FUNERAL HOME Carroll, Iowa Serving Carroll for 34 years this hospital as a prison. "We are not by law or design a prison. This facility is a fully accredited psychiatric hospital." Among other measures recommended by the grand jury were requiring visitors to pass through a metal detection device and physical separation of inmates and visitors. It also urged curtailing of "consumer orientation" shopping trips and recreational outings for inmates being evaluated for parole.

The grand jury investigation of the facility stemmed from one such shopping trip during which Donald L. Lawson, 40, of Ankeny. walked away from an Iowa City shopping center Jan. 16. Lawson had been serving a 50-year prison sentence for second degree murder in the 1972 death of an Ankeny woman.

The grand jury said he had been on 11 such trips during the nine months he was at the facility. Lawson, who was recaptured in Fresno, was sentenced in Johnson County District Court Tuesday to an additional three years in the State Penitentiary for escape. The grand jury suggested that a special "escort officer group" be established in addition to the facility's mental health officers to accompany inmates on trips outside the institution. It also praised recently instituted procedures to prevent prisoners from walking away from University Hospitals in Iowa City when they are taken there for treatment. In the past, a single resident correctional officer from Fort Madison or Anamosa was responsible for overseeing prisoners at University Hospitals, even when several prisoners were in the hospital at one time.

Prisoners now are accompanied by guards on a "one-on-one" basis. Markets GRAIN Soybeans, No. 2 $5.10 Corn, No. 2 yellow 2.55 Oats 1.50 OMAHA, Neb. (AP) USDA quotations Wednesday: Hogs: barrows and gilts active, 25-50 higher on 200-260 Ib, 260-300 Ib higher; U.S.

Find Hair x- Briefly Dyes Link to Cancer Court (Continued From Page 1) Wall Street NEW YORK (AP) A wave of profit taking swept over the stock market today, sending prices broadly lower in moderate trading. The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials at noon was off 8.37 at 771.04, after being more than 11 points down earlier in the session. Losers led gainers 953 to 228 among 1,567 issues traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

Trading on the Big Board was moderate. The NYSE composite index drooped .33 to 44.77. Brokers said Tuesday's pullback which dropped the Dow Index 7.12, was continuing today, aggravated by the weakened dollar overseas, political uncertainties in Southeast Asia, the continued slump in housing industry, and the large fourth quarter balance of payments deficit. On the American Stock Exchange, the market-value index dipped .17 to 80.88. Syntex, up at 37 7 topped the active list.

TO CLOSE EASTER The drivers license examining station at the Carroll County Court House will be closed Easter weekend, March 28 and 29, license examiner Joseph Neil, Carroll, reported. Neil said the station will be open the preceding weekend, March 21 and 22, and again on April 4 and 5. unless he could approve that there were extraordinary circumstances. The justices sent the case back to the District Court level to determine whether such circumstances existed.

The 1971 ruling permits federal courts to intervene when they find state prosecutions are based on harassment or bad faith or where the law is "flagrantly and patently" unconstitutional. Justice William J. Brennan, writing for the dissenters, said the decision was "only the first step" toward extending the rule enunciated for criminal cases to cover all civil proceedings. Although a federal law passed in 1973 forbids federal injunctions in state cases, the Supreme Court repeatedly has Courtesy for Miss Carver A kitchen shower honoring Michelle Carver was given Sunday by Mrs. Steve Muhlbauer, Mrs.

Delay Seen in Flood Crests DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Flood crests on most Iowa streams will be delayed by one to three days, the U.S. Weather Service said Tuesday in its second snow-melt flood bulletin this week. The weather service shifted focus on the Cedar River to Charles City, raising the expected crest there by two feet. The p'redic'tion now'Balls fora 4 crest, of 20 feet eight feet above flood stage to a'rfWe Friday.

Downstream, the.main danger point is Waterloo, where a 20-foot crest is predicted for Saturday, one day later than first predicted. Beyond Waterloo, the river crest is expected to flatten. Another danger point is at Garber on the Turkey River. The prediction there has been revised downward by one-half foot. The weather service said a crest of 26 feet can be expected Saturday.

The predicted crest on the Iowa River at Marshalltown was lowered by one foot to three feet above flood stage and is expected to arrive Friday, a day later than earlier predicted. Similar delays also were forecast for the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers. Rock Island (Continued From Page 1) The first option would require that the ICC subsidize all operations over Rock Island lines which the other railroads took over. The railroads would be assured of a reasonable profit for operating those lines. Since the railroads would use Rock Island manpower, some current Rock Island employes would be assured of a job.

The second option would not involve any federal expenditure but, since the railroads would use their own personnel, it would have a more devastating effect on Rock Island employes.

NEW YORK (AP) From the chimney sweeps of old London to the vinyl chloride workers of today, man has been finding that things in his environment cause cancer. The most recent suggestion of a cancer-causing agent in wide use came this week with reports that ordinary hair dyes might be carcinogenic, cancer-causing, or mutagenic, causing birth defects. The cosmetic industry strongly rejected the suggestion. It was in 1775 when the first finding of an environmental carcinogen was made, by the famous English surgeon, Dr. Percival Potts.

He discovered that chimney sweeps were susceptible to cancer caused by the soot. American Cancer Society has said there may be scores of unknown, hidden cancer-causing agents in the environment. And there is the obvious, and well-known agent, the cigarette, it says. "But for each such obvious carcinogen, we suspect that there are in our environment scores of unknown, hidden carcinogens, whose action is so subtle as to avoid detection in this manner, it added. During the past 50 years, a wide range of occupation-related cancers have been recognized: bladder cancer in rubber and aniline dye workers; lung cancer among men working with uranium ore, nitrogen mustard and chromate and nickel dust; and nasal-sinus cancer among woodworkers.

Most recently, a rare liver cancer has been found among workers handling the plastic substance vinyl chloride. One example is asbestos, linked first to lung cancer in insulation workers who smoke, then further linked to cancers of the esophagus, stomach, colon and rectum. In 1964 and 1965, Dr. Irving J. Selikoff of the Mt.

Sinai School of Medicine and Dr. E. Cuyler Hammond of the American Cancer Society unexpectedly found a moderate excess of gastrointestinal cancer among New York insulation The numbers of workers volyed, jhowever, was too small I i i conclusions at first, but the observation held up. A study of insulation workers in the United States and Canada, covering the period 1943 to 1971, found a substantial number of deaths over what was expected from those cancers, Selikoff and Hammond found. Similar findings have been made in Belfast insulation workers.

Train Speed to Be Enforced FAIRFIELD, Iowa (AP) The Fairfield City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to enforcea 25-mile-per-hour speed limit for Burlington Northern trains that travel through the city. The council said unless the railroad notifies the mayor or city attorney that the Fourth Street crossing will be repaired, the enforcement will begin Saturday. Engineers of trains exceeding the speed limit will be ticketed, the council said. Suits (Continued From Page 1) right of way and failing to use "reasonable" care under existing circumstances. The truck driver claims as a result of the collision he suffered injuries which required and will continue require medical expenses, and states he has lost and will lose wages due to the injuries.

The trucking firm states in the second division of the suit it was transporting the new semi tractors for the International Harvester Company, and said the company has billed all damage claims on the tractors to the firm. Insured Transporters, Inc. realleges the negligence claims brought by Lindamood against the Halbur estate, and states "the fair and reasonable value of the labor and materials necessary to place the three 1974 International Harvester tractors into the condition in which they existed immediately prior to the above described collision is $42.461.62." In addition, Lindamood assigned a claim for $701.98 to the trucking firm for personal property allegedly destroyed in the collision. Iowa Court Rulings DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The Iowa Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that Pottawattamie County District Court Judge Bennett Cullison was right in suppressing two murder confessions. County Atty.

Lyle Rodenburg challenged the judge's action to block oral and written statements by Steven Lybarger, charged in the death of Judith Pleas in late 1973. The case was returned to district court for further proceedings. Lybarger is charged in the slaying of Miss Pleas, whose body was found near Crescent in October, 1973. She had been missing since Aug. 10.

Lybarger, who had lived in Council Bluffs and Omaha, moved to California and was arrested there in February, 1974 on a Council Bluffs warrant for issuing bad checks. Council Bluffs officers returned him from California and questioned him on Miss Pleas' death and obtained the oral and written statements. The Supreme Court said it took "into consideration the devious activities" of the police officers in arresting Lybarger on the check charge while actually investigating a slaying. The court found that Lybarger had not seen a magistrate in Iowa and had been "continuously awake hours" and questioned for hours before "breaking." School districts cannot deny sick pay to pregnant teachers nor set a rule at what stage a pregnancy they must quit teaching, the Iowa Supreme Court said Wednesday. The high court made that ruling Wednesday as it declared some 1970 Cedar Rapids School District's pregnancy rules are sexually discriminatory.

But the justices said the district could legally refuse to give maternity leave to teachers who are not on tenure if similar leaves were prohibited to other non-tenured teachers. The case is a result of two complaints filed April 27, 1972 with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission. They concerned Joan Parr, a language arts teacher at Harding Junior High School, and Judy McCarthy, a physical education teacher at Washington High School. ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) The Rev.

Billy Graham says he believes former President Richard M. Nixon "has some regret that he'd let his friends down." But he added that Nixon is relaxed, without bitterness and has deepened religiously. The Rev. Mr. Graham said most of his conversation with Nixon was about religion.

"We talked a lot about the Bible," said the evangelist, who preached occasionally at the White House while Nixon was president. He said he and Nixon als6 prayed together in Nixon's small study. TheiRey. Mr. Graham said he detected no bitterness in the former president.

WASHINGTON (AP) The nation closed out last year with the biggest three-month deficit on record for its basic balance of payments, the government reported today. The Commerce Department reported that the balance was in deficit by $5.9 billion in the last quarter of the year, a deterioration from $3.9 billion for the previous quarter. Over the year, the balance ran a $10.6 billion deficit for the second worst annual performance since Commerce began keeping a check in 1960. LISBON, Portugal (AP) leftist military regime has banned the country's major center-right party and two dissident left-wing groups, boosting the Communist party's chances in next month's national election. The crackdown came a day after President Francisco da Costa Gomes warned that parties which do not follow the regime's leftist line will be curbed.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The Iowa Commerce Commission said Wednesday that rates charged by Peoples Natural Gas Division of Omaha are just and' reasonable. The commission on Feb. 5 ordered an investigation "to determine the reasonableness of the rates being charged by Peoples Natural Gas Division of Northern Natural Gas Co. under its existing tariffs." The ICC determined that the rates "produce a return on equity for a 1974 test year not in excess of 11 per cent and, therefore, are not in excess of just and reasonable rates. "In light of existing economic conditions, we are able to officially notice the fact that 11 per cent is hot in excess of current equity costs for utilities" such as Northern Natural Gas.

RIAYDH, Saudi Arabia (AP) Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger left the Israeli cabinet to ponder its next move on a Sinai settlement today and flew here to enlist King Faisal's support for his slowed-down negotiations. Kissinger is said to be withholding "shuttle" plans beyond the next couple of days until he Dicks nn cabinet's counter-proposals to Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's undisclosed "specific ideas and considerations." Without divulging details, U.S. officials aboard Kissinger's air force jet said the gap between the two sides remains wide although Israel is giving Sadat's views serious consideration..
