Nixon to the White House, Elsenhower told a news confer ence Friday that' it would be "fatuous" for any man to public office to claim an error-free career.

He added: The worst mistake I made was in not working harder to elect the man I thought should be my anobvtous reference to Nixon who was defeated by John F. Kennedy to 1960.

An $8 million Atlas-Agena rock- rtt hnostln a $4 million Mariner 1 spacecraft toward Venus was de stroyed last Sunday because of a human mathematical mistake The National Aeronautics and Space Administration reported Friday that the error occurred to an equation that calculated the course the rocket should follow to start Mariner 1 on the proper route to Venus. The error sent the rocket so far off course that radio signals from the ground were unable to correct it and the range safety officer de stroyed the vehicle. NASA said the Atlas did every thing it was told to do by the computer feeding it the trajectory information from the equation, but "examination of data showed there was an error in the original guidance equation." The equation was worked out by personnel at Space Technology Laboratories, Los Angeles.

They are drawing a new formula for a second Venus shot, scheduled to about three weeks. That will be the United States' last chance until 1964 to explore Venus. The bright planet moves Into a favorable position for only a few weeks every 19 months. Police Court Frank W. Kramer 48.

Licensed to Wed Dean Ferris, 22, Charleston, and Judy Ann 22, St. Francis- ville. fc By JON WOODS A Mattoon woman who pioneered the private nursing home business eaya there is no future for small, traditional nursing homes in Illinois. Mrs. Or operator of the Cunningham Nursing Home, 1313 Wabash, who Is credited with founding the first in Illinois in 1938, said the new state code setting stricter nursing home standards for health and safety has made the outlook bleak.

Care for the aged and invalids always will be available, she pointed out, but it will have to be found In institutions that lack "tender, loving care." She said nursing homes originally were founded to provide a "home-like" atmosphere for elderly residents. The new state law will change that, mainly because of economic factors, Mrs. Cunningham predicted. The code calls for progressively higher standards for nursing homes from now through 1970. Included in the provisions are re strictions on frame-type buildings and two-story structures.

The code provides that buildings of frame construction cannot bouse non-walking patients abovt the second floor unless a sprinkler system is provided. It also requires that all floors above the ground level having an occupancy of more than 30 be divided into two sections by some type of fire barrier. According to Robert Cunningham (no relation), head of the State Health Department's nursing home section, 85 per cent of the 877 privately operated licensed homes are of frame construction and less than 13 have sprinkler systems. Provisions effective 1965 will require a nursing station on each floor with more than 15 patients. Multiple bedrooms will be required to' have at least 75 square feet of usable floor area for each patient unit and no more than six patients will be permitted to be housed in one bedroom regardless of size.

Another regulation requires that corridors used as a means of exit for non-walking patients be at least four feet wide. Mrs Cunningham lamented "I don't see how it would be possible for any frame building to come up to standards by 1970." She said the code will not af fect her home until 1970. After that, it would be virtually impossi ble for her to make the home ac ceptable to the state, she said. am glad to see nursing homes Improved" she said." She added, however, that the state Is requiring too many "frills." She said homes now being built are required to have such facilities as beauty par lors. New nursing homes are "fall tog flat on their faces" because of the expense of building and main taming them under state require ments, Mrs.

Ciuiningham said. She said the resulting cost to the patient for care in newer homes is prohibitive for many persons. "Nursing homes are becoming too commercial," she said. If nursing homes are on their way out, where will patients re ceive care? "Nursing centers," Mrs. Cunning- name said.

If the Kennedy-backed medicare bill eventually passes sees government-paid doctors and nurses caring for the elderly in Institution-like centers. The nurs- tog home, she said, will be unable to compete with government medi cal care Mrs. Cunningham concluded that newer nursing homes would also be forced out of business by such a program, if they don't first, sue cumb to high operating costs. The Illinois nursing home pio-neersald she doesn't know what she will do after 1970 when full provisions of the new code become effective. She indicated she might be willing to manage a non-gov eminent nursing center.

Such centers are already under consideration by many area doc tors, she said. These institutions would be built by doctors to han- rila 1nn.trmniit!int.!r Mid -wrmM not involve government sponsor ship. She said she has had several offers from local and area doctors to manage such a center. Whatever happens in the nursing home Mrs. Cunningham Is not Hkely to give up her voca tion or providing care ior me and elderly.
