Nebraska Saturday, October 21, 1978 15 cents Peace talks halted while sides regroup The White House statement following Carters meeting with negotiators Friday said both the Egyptians and the Israelis were expected tp discuss, among other things, a revised treaty proposal submitted to the delegations Thursday night by the United States. But there was a major difference between the Egyptian consultations and the Israeli consultation. The Egyptians sent their third-ranking negotiator, Osama Al-Baz, to inform Egyptian Vice President Hosni Mubarak of progress of the talks, leaving the delegation leaders to continue the talks in Washington.

Mubarak is in London and was to return to Cairo to brief President Anwar Sadat after meeting with Al-Baz. But the Israelis called the top four members of their delegation back to Jerusalem, effectively halting the negotiations here at all but the lowest levels. Naftali Lavie, an aide to Dayan, said the top Israeli negotiators would leave late Saturday and return to the talks in mid-week. He would not discuss details of the U.S. proposal being taken back to Jerusalem.

Earlier, State Department spokesman George Sherman also refused to talk about the U.S. plan, except to say that it deals with issued that so far have defied solution. WASHINGTON (AP) The Middle East peace talks came to a halt Friday as the heads of the Israeli delegation were summoned back to Jerusalem for consultation about issues that have apparently stalled completion of a treaty with Egypt. Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan said he and Defense Minister Ezer Weizman were told to returnhome by the Israeli cabinet for about three days of meetings. Shortly after the Israelis announced their plans to leave Washington, both sides were summoned to the White House for separate talks with President Carter and an Egyptian negotiator said he, too, would leave for consultations with higher authorities.

The break in negotiations comes after Carter and Dayan publicly disagreed about progress of the talks. Dayan had suggested there was an impasse, but Carter insisted there were no serious problems. After Carters meeting with both delegations, the White House issued a statement urging that the Israeli decision not be viewed as a sign of imminent disaster. But it was plain that the talks were not going as well as Carter had hoped last week, when he urged the delegations to stay until we get this settled.

The mayor told me Im too educated to be in the street, too much policeman for Valley at this time, he said.

Oglesby had announced his candidacy for sheriff two weeks ago after observing a sheriffs department investigation of a personal injury traffic accident near Valley. He was critical of the department, because the county patrol car did not have accident investigation equipment such as tape measures and cameras. Oglesby was fired Wednesday as a part-time police officer at Waterloo. He said after his firing that he thought Waterloo Police Chief Bill Danielson had fired him because of political pressures. On Friday, Oglesby said his wife told him he didn't have the chance of a snowball in hell" of being elected sheriff.

She said she wouldnt even vote for me. Oglesby said it will be difficult for anyone to beat Republican Dick Roth in the sheriffs race, because Roth has the backing of outgoing County Sheriff Ted Janning. Its not the end of the world, Oglesby said Friday. Im sure Ill find some kind of employment, but probably not in law enforcement. I was happy there, he said of his Valley job.

I like police work. I gave It 101 percent every time I hit the street. Oglesby said he believes political reasons were responsible for his resignation request. He said no one in the Valley department criticized him until he announced his candidacy for sheriff. By BILL WAX VALLEY Friday was an eventful day for Frank Oglesby.

He started the day as a Valley police officer and write-in candidate for Douglas County sheriff. By days end, he had resigned from the Valley police department and had withdrawn from the sheriffs race, endorsing Omaha Democrat Mike Guil-foyle, Jr. for the office. Oglesby had been a probationary member of the Valley police force, according to Carroll Smith, Valley mayor. His probationary period would have ended Nov.

6. The 29-year-old Omahan joined the Valley force about 4 Vi months ago. Smith and Valley Police Commissioner Delores Lewis met with Oglesby early Friday. He did a pretty decent job, but we all agreed that maybe he (Oglesby) should be jn some other kind of police work, Smith said Friday. The mayor said Oglesbys emotional makeup was not conducive to police patrol work, and he became too easily upset when confronted with verbal abuse from the public.

Following the meeting with Smith and Lewis, Oglesby turned in his badges, gun and most of his city-furnished equipment. They (Smith and Lewis) both asked me to resign. I was told to either resign or be fired," Oglesby said Friday. According to the former officer, Smith listed poor driving habits and getting too emotional with what is happening in the street as reasons for requesting the resignation.

Schools with larger stadia and larger attendance pay larger amounts to their oppo-, nents than they receive in return. He had figures showing a Nebraska loss of more than a $1 million. When the university was considering an addition to the present stadium, it asked those wanting seats to send money for season tickets in advance of the building being planned.

More than 20,000 orders were received in three days. Several problems with the shortage of seats in the-existmg stadium is that younger alumni especially cannot get Seats. The average age of season ticket holders is about S3 or 54. In 18 years, Dr. Prokop said, no persons outside the school have been able to become new holders of tickets (Stadium, Page 2, Col.

3) The University of Nebraska board of regents cant move toward expanding the stadium in Lincoln or building a new one until it resolves its problems with the Big 8 Conference. Regent Robert Prokop made the statement to Rotarians at the Rotary Clubs meeting Friday. Dr. Prokop has been a regent eight years. His home is at Wilber.

Kermit Wagner of Schuyler, also a regent, was scheduled to attend but could not because of a death in his family. The speaker used slides showing statistics to make his points. He says that the business advantage Lincoln businessmen believe they derive from the stadium being in its present location is a big factor in insistence that it stay on the campus. The major issue with the Big 8 conference is its policies on sharing of funds. The University of Nebraska, and the University of Oklahoma, pay out much more to confer The sun is blue His work seems to never end.

Friday he toiled over Fremont and produced an unseasonably high temperature that reached into the mid 80s. Will he ever be able to hang it up for the year and let the Jack Frost types take over as they usually do this time of year in Nebraska? Well, not today. Its expected to be at least 80, maybe higher. Ingredients necessary for a good hospital 9 ELECTION 78 The proposal is to finish fifth floor(which is only a shell now) to accommodate 30 beds. There are 7,000 usable square feet available on fifth, compared with 3,449 on Second-East.

The cost to finish fifth is the most expensive portion of the building program $775,000. The 30 beds on fifth would take the place of non-conforming beds on second-east and second-west. In addition to Second-easts 13 rooms and 21 non-conforming beds, Second-west is licensed for 25 beds, 8 of which do not conform. Under the building program, second-east would be closed to patients. It would be converted into classrooms, Howard says.

Fifteen conforming beds would remain on second-west. The rooms in this old wing pale in comparison with those on newer floors. The halls are narrow, the rooms are small with outdated furniture and inadequate bathroom facilities. Three of the rooms have joint bathrooms used by four persons. For patients in' 10 other rooms, there are two small bathroom compartments down the hall reminiscent of oldtime apartment houses.

Not only are the isolated restrooms inconvenient, they are too narrow for wheelchairs, says Mary Lou Olsen, head nurse on the floor for six years. Some of the rooms dont have sinks. This is how other facilities on second-east compare with fourth or sixth floor: There are no closets and patients, belongings are stored in free-standing metal lockers. All rooms have built-in closets in other parts of the hospital. The nurses station is cramped with little desk space.

It is one-sixth the size of stations on other floors, which can comfortably accommodate eight persons. When patients pn second-east want to summon a nurse, they push a button that activates a light above their door. Lights on all doors are difficult to monitor from the nurses station, Mrs. Olsen says. On the other floors, when a patient pushes a button it activates a call light at the nurses desk.

Nurses can speak with patients via intercom. All newer rooms have private bathrooms and sinks. Elderly patients have trouble getting in and out of older, higher hospital beds. Hospital officials have tried to make the old wing cheerier by adding carpeting and color televisions. Still, walking from second-east to the newer building is like going through a time capsule.

have done the same thing with their post-operative patients. Surgeons have delayed scheduling operations because the only room available was in Second-east, Dr. Dilley adds. One elderly patient stood in the door of his room, leaning on a cane, as the Tribune toured What do you think qf the room youre in? he was asked. It needs to be fixed up a lot, he said, its much nicer on fourth or sixth.

Laboratory The hospital proposes investing $376,000 to enlarge the present area of 1,420 square feet to 3,697 square-feet. The lab, says Kent Howard, has been deficient according to standards set by the Joint Commission on Hospital Accreditation since 1974. Wendell Reese, lab manager, lists these major problems: The chemistry lab is divided from the rest of the department by a hospital corridor and technicians find themselves running into hospital visitors and other employees as they race back and forth with tubes, specimens and bottles. The office space is limited and the outpatients must sit in chairs lined in the hallway. The rooms are so close together that patients sometimes can see surgical pies (body pieces removed during surgery) from the admitting desk or old storeroom that has been converted into a room to draw blood samples.

Ventilation is poor and air-conditioning is inadequate many of the specimens with which technicians work have acrid odors. The rooms are cooled by window air- conditioners, but during certain procedures they must be turned off. Inability to control the temperature and humidity makes the lab an uncomfortable place to work. Some of the departments such as microbiology-should be isolated from the other procedures to prevent contamination. The blood bank is a converted office.

There is he running water or sink (employees carry fluids from one room to another with paper cups). There is insufficient counter space and the blood refrigerator is pushed into a narrow corner. All of the rooms are crowded with little counter space. (Hospital, Page 7, Col. 1) The staff at Memorial Hospital doesnt want an opulent they want a good hospital, says Administrator Kent Howard.

The staff isnt complaining about the kinds of facilities it has now, and hospital officials dont want a constant building program, Howard says. A community needs a modern hospital to take care of its residents and attract new physicians and businesses. And then there is that worry about recruiting physicians to take care of Dodge County's health needs. Howard thinks a good hospital and enough doctors are inseparable. A community without a hospital doesn't have doctors for long, he says.

The main concern of doctors considering moving to a city is its hospital, Howard says. A good hospital makes a difference. Howard says the present building proposal was born on Second Floor- East, part of the original hospital built in 1940. Second-east has 13 rooms and 21 beds. But none, say Howard, conform to state standards.

The hospital assigns patients to the old rooms when the more modern rooms are occupied. But as more doctors come to Fremont, the old rooms are used more and more frequently. Howard says the following chart shows increased utilization of Second-east. As many as 1,000 patients could be admitted by 1980. If approved, Howard said the the entire building program would be finished in Spring 1981.

Howard hopes fifth floor is completed in 1980. The need for a building program arrived with the utilization of Second-east. But we decided if we had to have a building program, we should look at our other needs. So construction plans were extended to include the -laboratory, outpatient department, physical therapy, radiology, business department and admissions and a new physicians entrance and conference room. Anything less than the entire range of improvements would be piecemeal," Howard contends.

Problems, proposed changes and costs for each phase of construction follows: Second Floor-East Twenty-one beds in this 1940-vintage structure still are used when there is a patient overflow in the other more modern parts of the hospital. 4 Vv 1 Todays stories on the hospital bond issue are the first in a series of special election stories to run each day in The Tribune through Nov. 7. Coming on Monday: The proposed amendments 1-3. Patients admitted to second-east are transferred to other rooms when there is a vacancy.

It costs $15 to transfer a patient from second-east, Mrs. Olsen says. The cost is for nursing service, housekeeping and office record changes. Everyone is dissatisfied with the floor from patients to doctors. With very few exceptions, the patients admitted here complain about the general appearance of the area, Mrs.

Olsen says. Some patients have refused to stay and doctors, too, are reluctant to admit their patients to the floor, she continues. Patients families dont like it either. They wonder why they have to pay the full room rate. Second-east isnt the nurses favorite place either.

There are very few who want to work here, Mrs. Olsen says. Doctors worry about their patients getting adequate care on Second-east, according to Dr. Roger Dilley, head of the medical staff. The physicians knowjhat the nurses station is tucked into a small corner and nurses have trouble monitoring the call lights.

Physicians worry about the isolated bathrooms, especially if their patients have stomach ailments and are vomiting and having diarrhea, Dr. Dilley explains. Being in an old, dreary room may affect the patients mental state, he adds. Dr. Dilley remembers when one of his patients was moved several times in the same day first admitted to Second-East, transferred to the obstetrical floor and then back to East.

Dilley says he has put patients in the Intensive Care Unit, just so they would be well supervised. Surgeons A.
