Ul DOCllS HurrirnnP kills I I Vo I I I I I lV I I IJ rm- 1 a Honduras The day before he was scheduled to speak, he tore his chest and stomach muscles while tossing a football around with City Councilman J.

Patrick White. So the notes he'd prepared for the talk went into one of the packing boxes Wells is taking with him to his new job as city administrator of Lakcwood, Colo. In it, Wells was going to discuss one of the most frequently debated topics during his term in office "citizen input" in governmental affairs. Although he has often expressed resentment over citizens' attempts to participate in local government, Wells said both public officials and citizens share responsibility for making "citizen input" work. Government officials, he said, must find ways to accommodate citizen participation.

And citizens have a responsibility for informing themselves about the workings of government, he said. "Even a full-blown civics course only devotes about two weeks to local government," he said, "and that's the form of government that affects citizens the most." l. 1 1.1 a Czarnecki. Tension between the major and city manager came into the open when Czarnecki listed his criteria for Wells's successor, and clearly described Wells's opposite. Wells took it personally, but he apparently decided it would be unseemly to say anything in his last weeks in office.

Wells's tenure here, though frustrating to him because of the troubles with urban renewal, was marked by innovations in which he says he takes satisfaction. Among them is the city's first capital improvements program, a beginning, he said, toward a compilation of community goals. Others include new budget and personnel procedures, the "single developer concept" which has reshaped the urban renewal program and the Clinton Street Mall, the row of temporary buildings housing businesses displaced by urban renewal. The temporary mall, greeted by skepticism and criticism when Wells proposed it, later won local popularity and national recognition. "One of the beautiful things about that project is not only its acceptance, but the fact that it's paid for itself," Wells said.

Wells had a speech ready for his last objective of the community, there are many things that are necessary to complement that and that's where you're not getting consensus. "Now we're getting to a financial level and you'll see it in the next budget where other services are going to have to give in order to accommodate transit." he said. When the city took over bus service here in 1971. Wells said, it was done 'without realizing what the long-term burden would be." That was before Wells took office. Checking back, he said, ''I find nothing that was public information about what kind of money you'd be looking at in five.

10 or 15 years. "From a governmental official's standpoint, that's what troubles me most. Throughout the interview with Wells Thursday, he said repeatedly he didn't want it to appear he was leaving Iowa City with a "sour grapes" attitude. Although he didn't discuss it, he is understood to have changed his mind for just that reason about issuing a tan, on a neighboring island, was about 40 per cent destroyed, officials said. But most of the inhabitants were believed to have been evacuated before the storm struck.

The U.S. Air Force ordered two small planes and two helicopters from bases in Panama to Honduras for a damage survey. The U.S. embassy in Tegucigalpa, the Honduran capital, said American relief planes were expected with generators, food, medicine, clothing and other supplies. "The problem appears to be mostly that of hungry and homeless people," an embassy-spokesman said.

60 in GUATEMAL (AP) Reduced to a tropical storm, Hurricane Fifi headed into southern Mexico today leaving at least 60 dead in northern Honduras. The Honduran National Eniergency Committee said ham radio reports that could not be confirmed indicated about 200 persons were killed or missing. All of the dead reported were in Honduras, which the hurricane lashed on Thursday with 110-mile-an-hour winds and gusts up to 140 mph. The storm slammed into Belize (formerly British Honduras) on Thursday night and at midnight was over north Senate Deaths federal pay issue Library board fights for its 'independence' on WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate has told President Ford that postponing federal pay increases is the wrong way to fight inflation and ordered the 5.5 per cent raises to take affect Oct. 1 as originally scheduled.

Ford's first clash with the Democratic-controlled Congress on an issue related to the nation's economic problems resulted Thursday in a 64 to 35 setback in the Senate for the new chief executive. central Guatemala. The Miami Hurricane Center said its winds had dropped to 60 mph and "it is expected to gradually lose identity later today as it continues westward into southern Mexico." The populated area hit hardest apparently was, around the Honduran town of Ceiba, on the Caribbean coast. The national emergency committee said 41 persons were killed there. The committee said 12 more of the confirmed dead were children who were swept away by a flash flood in the small inland town of Progresso.

Guanaja, a small town on an island off the Honduran coast, was reported 80 per cent destroyed, and the town of Roa- rejects i Ford wanted the pay raises for 3.5 million white-collar civilian employes and military personnel delayed until Jan. 1, saving $700 million and lending psychological support to the anti-inflation effort. However, 15 Republicans joined 49 Democrats in voting to reject Ford's proposal. The other 27 Republicans and just eight Democrats voted with the President.

Other areas, cut from an original request for $3.6 million by, the general university, may receive some funding in revised 1976-77 budgets, he indicated. Robert Hardin, vice president in charge of health affairs, said hospital special needs askings for the first year of the biennium include $335,000 for increased staffing of clinics and $101,000 for the family-practice clinic. In 1976-77, $924,000 will go for increased staffing of clinics, $6,000 for the family practice clinic, $197,000 for ambulatory care programs, $44,600 for a trauma and emergency center and $123,000 for pharmacy services. Two Solon men hospitalized Two Solon men are reported in good condition today at Mercy Hospital where they were taken following a one-car accident on a blacktop road between Solon and North Liberty about 2:15 a.m. today.

Hospitalized are Richard Low, 19, and Tom Grimm, 19. Johnson County Sheriff's deputies investigated the accident. No charges have been filed. Regents approve UI special needs Eggers to review the negotiating teams' proposal and keep the board informed of progress of the negotiations and the negotiating team informed of library concerns. In spite of their insistence on independence, the library board accepted a proposal to join the city in agreement with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

City Atty. John Hayek explained the library board would be joining in just two parts of the three-part agreement. The board would agree to adopt affirmative action hiring procedures and would make regular reports on hiring practices, but would not join the city's agreement to set hiring goals. One of those goals was that the next three persons hired at levels near the top of the salary would be women. The library directorship would fall into that category.

Several library board members indicated they would oppose hiring quotas, as required under the city's agreement with EEOC, but they agreed with the other points in the agreement. Hayek pointed out that it would be "expensive and possibly divisive to go through litigation" with the EEOC if an agreement were not reached. The question of whether the library board's hiring practices were discriminatory was raised following a controversy over the hiring of a library director. A director is currently being sought. In other action, the board: Agreed to honor library cards from the Coralville Public Library in a reciprocal borrowing agreement.

Approved a reciprocal borrowing agreement for libraries within the East Central region. Agreed to discuss organization of a "Friends of the Library" association during the next meeting. Honored Hazel WTestgate, children's librarian, for her 25 years of service in the Iowa City Public Library. Three employes were cited for more than five years, of service: Olive McKenzie, Carol Spaziani and Ms. Eggers.

Heard plans for a book sale at the library set for Oct. 19. Donations of books, especially children's books, paperbacks, records and some magazines arc being accepted for the sale. Families of persons who deeded their bodies to the University of Iowa will be notified from now on whenever the university wishes to transport the bodies to other institutions for research. Dr.

T.H. Williams, head of the UI anatomy department, said today no bodies will be transferred without the specific approval of the donors' families. Williams said the change represents a clarification of the existing policy regarding use of deeded bodies. The will signed by a body donor indicates the cadaver may be used at an institution other than Iowa. However, the department has not previously asked permission each time a body was to be transferred.

UI has always brought the remains after research usually in the form of ashes back to Iowa for disposition, and will continue to do that, Williams said. The university's practice of supplying other institutions with anatomical specimens was questioned Wednesday, when State Auditor Lloyd Smith criticized the financial accounting involved. UI had been paying out of the general education fund for processing bodies, with reimbursements from the other institutions going into the Deeded Body Program. That accounting practice has been changed, according to UI officials. Williams emphasized that no bodies, parts of bodies or transplant materials have ever been "sold" by UI to any other institution.

"As far as I'm aware, this doesn't occur in any part of the United States," he said. He said the institutions do. reimburse each other for the cost of preparing the anatomical specimens. "This is a very expensive process," Williams said. 'T look on this (payment by other institutions! as reimbursement of state funds." He said it costs about $50,000 to prepare approximately 200 cadavers for study each year.

Williams said referring to the transaction as a "sale of bodies'' is "a sacrilege." "I believe the program at UI, as developed by the late (Clarence) Strub, is the most carefully run in the whole United Williams said. "I believe we're acting in a legal, scientific and socially acceptable manner" in sharing anatomical specimens with other medical schools and research centers. Two more arrested in bomb threat Two more arrests have been made in connection with a bomb threat called in to Sheller-Globe Corp Saturday. Iowa City police Thursday arrested Charles Worden, 18, of 1409 Sheridan Avenue, and charged him with making a false bomb threat. Worden is being held in Iowa City jail pending arraignment today.

Earlier Thursday, a 16-year-old juvenile was also arrested in connection with the threat and turned over to juvenile probation officers. Terry J. Spears, 19, of Lone Tree, had been arrested Wednesday and charged with making a bomb threat. He was arraigned and is being held in the Johnson County jail in lieu of $1,000 bond. A preliminary hearing in his case has been set for 10:30 a.m., Sept.

27. Ford flation or even slow it down with this kind of gimmick," declared Sen. Gale W. McGee, chairman of the Post Office and Civil Service Committee which voted 7 to 0 against defering the pay raise. Assistant Senate Republican Leader Robert P.

Griffin of Michigan led the fight for Ford. "You've got to start somewhere" in the battle against inflation, he said. "If the Senate says 'No' to the President, then in effect we are going to open the floodgates and make it very difficult for the President to ask any other group to exercise restraint," Griffin said. The pay raise was recommended by a presidential board under a 1970 law that provides for a recommendation each year on what changes, if any, are needed to keep federal salaries comparable with those in the civilian sector. Under the procedure, the President -then- accepts or revises the recommendation, subject to a veto by either the House or Senate.

T.T. Bozck. Sandia By MARLENE PERRLN Of the Press-Citizen The Iowa City Library Board Thursday asserted its independence from the city staff and served notice that its director was not a department head under the jurisdiction of the city manager. The library's acting director, Lolly Eggers, had complained to the board that she had not been consulted about or informed of the state of negotiations currently underway between the city's management team and the city employes' union. She pointed out that while the management team reported regularly to the city manager, and he in turn reported to the City Council, she was excluded from a meeting between management representatives of the team and members of the library board.

The library board, under state law, is an autonomous body which has sole control over library operations. Funding, however, is provided by the City Council. Ronald Farber, library board member, said he had asked why the library director had not been invited to a meeting to discuss the negotiations and was told that other city department heads had not been invited either. Ms. Eggers and board members agreed the library was not another city department under the direction of the city manager and shouldn't be treated that way by the city administration.
