SEPTEMBER 1 1976 15c SINGLE COPY-85C PER WEEK-DELIVERED Lawmakers To Iron Out Medical Bill Hassles COLUMBUS (UPI) An 11th hour meeting among state lawmakers and emergency medical services representatives late Wednesday ended with agreement on a simple change to a new state law which will end emergency medical crisis.

Rep. Ken Cox, D-Barberton, said all parties in the controversy have agreed on a bill scheduled to be introduced today in a special session of the Ohio General Assembly. Cox said today the ment to the new law would immediately grant certification to all but 2,700 Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT). Those not certified would be given three years to meet the minimum standards. Cox said the agreement was worked out Wednesday night and a bill had been drafted by the Legislative Service Commission by 11 p.m.

He was known as meanest man in One source of his power was his acidic tongue.

The commission said the rates and charges, which will bring Ohio Bell an estimated $200 million a year, were reasonable based on the value of service to customers Applications to reopen the case were submitted by Ohio Bell, which wanted the PUCO to further increase rates to bring in an additional $16 million, and by numerous companies and cities which wanted the commission to change its mind and roll back the rate increase. The commission said many of the applicants seeking a rehearing charged the rates were not justified based on the performance and that commission violated the by holding closed meetings.

The new law, which Rhodes signed June 1, requires Emergency Medical Technicians and paramedics to complete about 90 hours of training, some of it on-the-job and some of it in a classroom, to get state certification. Two-thirds of the EMTs do not meet the standards set by the State Board of Education, leaving themselves open for criminal prosecution for a misdemeanor or liable for civil lawsuits. Rhodes said his office has been with calls from worried local officials who fear the loss of all emergency medical services. called me at the office. called me at home.

It requires rapid, thorough legislative he said.

special session is the second called by Rhodes in a month to deal with a problem he interprets as needing emergency action. Last month, lawmakers were given an emergency Medicaid appropriation bill to cut state funding and shift the funds to the Welfare Department. After four weeks, the special session was adjourned without acting on Rhodes bill. The legislature is scheduled to convene in regular session Sept. 14, with a major item on the calendar a second Medicaid funding bill sponsored by the Democratic chairmen of the House and Senate Finance Committee.

Lawmakers also intended to act later this month on the problem with the EMT certification, but will apparently deal with that crisis in special session. Hays Quits Congress WASHINGTON (UPI) Stripped of his political power and sickened by sex-scandal allegations, Wayne Hays has resigned from Congress just four months short of a 28-year Washington career. Hays submitted his resignation in writing Wednesday to Ohio Gov. James A. Rhodes, with a copy to Speaker Carl Albert.

The House Ethics Committee immediately met and announced it had closed its investigation of Elizabeth charges that Hays paid her $14,000 a year in federal funds to serve no other purpose than to be his mistress. Still pending against the 65- year-old Ohio Democrat, however, is a grand jury probe into whether he misused federal funds, which is a criminal violation. Hays admitted having an affair with Miss Ray, 33, but denied her claim of pay for sex only. In quick succession, Hays gave up two committee chairmanships which made up his base of political power and on June 10 was hospitalized for what his doctor termed an accidental overdose of sleeping tablets. Obviously depressed, the once caustic lawmaker wandered aimlessly on the House floor and more and more withdrew from legislative business.

He left Washington for the final time as a congressman Aug. 11, returning to his Ohio farm home where two days later he announced he seek reelection to a 15th term. After that announcement, state Sen. Douglas Applegate, D-Steubenville, was named as the Democratic party nominee. As recent as last Saturday his lawyer, Judah Best of Washington, interceded with Albert, describing Hays as too depressed and too despondent to properly defend himself before the ethics panel.

Despite this picture of a broken man, the WASHINGTON (UPI) With an eye toward the Nov. 2 general election, House members voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to forego a scheduled pay increase and challenged the Senate to do the same. The action came on a $780.3 million appropriations bill to fund Congressional operations for the fiscal year starting Oct. 1, the same date that members of Congress, top level federal officials, cabinet officers and the judiciary are to get an automatic pay boost of about 5 per cent. The big money bill was passed on a voice vote and sent to the Senate.

But first the House voted 325 to 75 to include a provision that the pay of all those scheduled to get an increase be frozen at its current level for the next year. Congressmen now get $44,600 a year, a level reached after a $2,100 first time increase under the automatic co6t of living system that went into effect last year. A 5 per cent boost this year would raise the pay another $2,230 to $46,830 a year. more than three times the average income of my constituents and I think Rep. William Armstrong, said in support of the pay-freeze amendment.

Speaker Carl Albert predicted in advance that the amendment would carry, claiming imagine a worse time than going out on Labor Day and making speeches after voting in effect for a pay raise for yourself and telling working people they ought to hold the But Rep. Robert Giaimo, D- disagreed, claiming the amendment us, it shames puts us into an inferior Giaimo said. people want us to act bravely and nobly. What do you hope to prove by running home and saying I voted against a $2,000 increase? State Of Emergency Called In Ireland Less Farmers Market New Hours starting Sept 7 9a m. -6 p.m.

After a two-day debate, the specially convened parliament Wednesday gave the government a five-vote majority 70 to 65 for its resolution declaring the state of emergency. A similar measure was assed by the Senate (upper ouse) by a vote of 35 to 18 The resolution will serve as the necessary framework for a new legislative package that Cosgrave pledged will be used to the country of the IRA and its supporters. Two key bills, now up for debate, would increase the time a suspect may be detained without charges and increase the penalties for IRA membership and other subversive activities. The vote was slightly larger than the three-vote margin predicted by party sources and came after Cosgrave delivered a slashing attack on the critics of the new measures.

panel voted Monday to open hearings on Sept. 16 into the Ray allegations. Two days later resignation came in an uncharacteristic, one-sentence statement: Sir: I hereby resign my office as Representative in the Congress of the United States from the 18th District of Ohio, effective immediately. With great respect, Wayne L. Rhodes said Hays called him earlier Wednesday to say the letter was in the mail and to ask that his congressional staff be kept intact at least until a successor is elected.

Ethics Chairman John Flynt said the 12-member panel voted unanimously that "the investigation be terminated and that the hearings ordered by this committee to commence on Sept. 16 be Since the inquiry gone beyond the investigative stage, Flynt said, his panel will issue no report on its findings to date. He said legal opinions given the panel were unanimous that the committee has no jurisdiction over a former member. Because of his intercessions with the panel and with the Speaker stressing emotional condition, reports circulated that Hays hoped to convince the panel to drop the investigation which he himself had sought. Asked why he thought Hays resigned, Flynt said of health, which were given to the committee on a number of Flynt, however, emphatically answered when a reporter asked if a had been made either with Hays or his attorney.

Hays began his political career as mayor of Flushing, Ohio, in 1939.

He was elected to the Ohio Senate in 1941 and served as a Belmont County, Ohio commissioner from 19451949, when he was elected for his first term as congressman from the rural district bordering West Virginia.

Firing Of FBI Chief Eyed WASHINGTON (UPI) After praising the job FBI Director Clarence Kelley is doing, Attorney General Edward Levi today faced a decision of whether President Ford should fire him for accepting expensive gifts from subordinates.

Kelley publicly acknowledged Tuesday that he had received from his staff and other FBI officials and also that two valances frames that cover tops of window draperies had been installed in his apartment at FBI expense.
