Italy-China Accord 'Imminent' PARIS (AP), Diplomatic sources reported today that Italy and Red China are near an agreement to establish diplometic relations after more than 18 months of secret talks in the French capital. The sources said the meetings were continuing this week and that an accord was imminent. the Italian Communist party newspaper, and ADNKronos, an Italian Socialist news agency, reported agreement was expected at the next Paris meeting.

In Rome, the Italian Foreign Ministry declined comment on the reports. The last detail to be solved was said to be the wording of a reference to Peking's claim to Formosa, the seat of President Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist regime. Italian newspapers speculated that Italy might take formal note of the claim to the island but not take a specific position on it. This was the procedure Canada followed last month when it recognized the Communist government.

"I don't know whether you would call it an investigation or not," Borchart replied. "It's a matter of semantics." Borchart did say Continental officials contacted him last Friday and offered their assistance in the investigation. He said the corporation has given good cooperation." The Blue Cross official said earlier that he thought "some" forgeries had been pinpointed on the Medicaid forms certifying that patients are receiving the level of care required in the program.

Borchart said Blue Cross could refer the case to the State Department of Social Services if it were determined that forgeries had occurred and that they resulted in money being paid to the center to which it was not entitled. It is believed the matter would then be referred to Atty. Gen. Atty. Robert Richard Jansen has said 1 Turner.

County he will take no action unless officials provide him with information indicating law violations. Patrick Nipp, president of Continental Care, said Saturday in Omaha that an audit by the corporation of nursing home records turned up "no disclosures of discrepancies." Nipp further stated that Mutual of Omaha and Blue "have assured us that there is no investigation underway and neither has there been. They're not too concerned." Nipp denied that the Continental audit disclosed $7,600 in improper Medicare charges as reported last week by the home's new administrator, James Parsons. "Actually I don't know what they're talking about," he said, terming Parson's disclosure "a misunderstanding of who talked about this." Tondi also said he was unaware of the $7,600 in question, but added that "it still be payable." Parsons had asserted that the $7,600 represented a loss to Continental because Mutual of aha had not been billed "for several months." Parsons who replaced Sheldon E. Snelson Sept.

1 said that $7,600 in uncollectable Medicare funds centered around review meetings that were not held and a $3,600 overcharge. Sneison and his wife, Betty Snelson the home's former director of nursing have been transferred to another Continental facility in Chadron, Neb. Mrs. Snelson who submitted the Medicaid forms to Blue Cross last week denied that any of the alleged abuses ever occurred. She said she also was unaware of the audit's findings as reported by Parsons.

Other employes about the same time as Mrs. Baculis have suggested that weekly utilization review meetings were not being held during the nine momths in question because of a fear that beds patients would be released and left empty. Girl 'Serious' After Accident An Iowa City girl was listed in serious condition early this afternoon at University Hospital with injuries she received in a one-car accident on Avenue this morning.

Johnston also is seeking $60,000 for each year of the next biennium for drug Education. Teachers, he said, are being upon increasingly to 'do something' about growing drug usage.

It is a task which demands extremely careful preparation and implementation, Johnston observed. He feels the department of public instruction has the major responsibillity for providing the leadership this drug education effort. "It is recognized that the problem is not strictly school problem and that preventative measures alone will not completely solve Nevertheless," the drug abuse problem. John(ston continued, "drub abuse problem which society as whole will have to attack; and is evident that school personnel must be directly involved." Johnston is also posing that the department underwrite the cost of the work study program, some $3 million for biennium. This program is designed encourage urban and rural students in the 15-20 age bracket remain in school by provid-1 employment as a supplement to their school work.

Federal funds for work-study, as provided for in the VocaEducation Act adopted Congress in 1963 and amended 1968, have been uncertain. As a result, Johnston related, number of local educational agencies have discontinued have failed to expand their present programs. Consequently, he is recommending that the state finance the Student Employment Proram, a program similar kind to that originated for cational students but broader scope so as to service both vocational and non vocationall students. 32 GIs Killed Last Week A 5-Year Low WASHINGTON (AP) Fewer than 32 men died in Vietnam last week, marking a five-year low in casualties, the Defense Department has announced. Jerry W.

Friedheim, a Pentagon press spokesman, disclosed the new low in an unusual Tuesday preview of figures that normally are not released until Thursday of each week. He did not give actual figures for last week--they will be out Thursday. Asked if the premature disclosure was connected with today's elections, Friedheim said, "Why don't we leave it where I am." Thirty-two was the lowest weekly figure in the past five years, recorded in January 1966. Also announced Monday was a U.S. troop strength in Viet-1 nam of 374,000, compared with a high of 543,400 April 30, 1969.

Salvador Allende, a Marxist SoIcialist, assumed the presidency of Chile today in a ceremony that launched three days of I celebrations. He received the silk presidential sash--called the Banda de Eduardo Frei, his Christian Democratic predecessor, before 200 congressmen and representatives of 70 foreign governments. Among its first acts, Allende's Popular Unity government named a Socialist, a Communist and a member of the non-MarxRadical party as governors of the nation's three most important provinces. Taking office with Allende is a Burglary At Chemical Plant Here Burglars left their tire tracks behind, but took $700 to $800 worth of hand tools with them after breaking in at the Terra Chemicals plant on the IWV Road sometime last night. They will be prepared to play golf next spring if they want, having taken two sets of golf clubs valued at a total of $425 from the office of the building.

They had to pry the door of the interior office and once inside also took a cash box taining $140. Johnson County Deputy Sheriff Douglas Edmonds said a small foreign car apparently was used by the thieves who left tire tracks in a field. The building is surrounded by a chain link fence on three sides and the fourth side, which the burglars used for access, faces on the field. The tools, said Ed onds, could be resold by the thieves or if they are mechanically minded they could use them themselves. "They didn't ransack fice," he noted.

"They went through things but they were neat about it." The burglary was reported to the Sheriff's Office this morning by Bob Slade, manager of the plant, who said the building had been locked. R. G. (Bob) Wessel YOUNG MEN ARE SPECIAL There are a lot of special insurance plans for young drivers. But there's only one that recognizes that young men are really special and deserve to be treated as individuals.

That's the Youthful Drivers Plan from Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance Company, which did some thing about the injustice of charg. ing high rates for all young men. The Youthful Drivers Plan lets male drivers under 25 set their own auto insurance rates. A unique test measures attitudes affecting driving and predicts accident probability. Many young men earn substantial savings.

So be a special young man. Find out more about the Youthful Drivers Plan from your local Grinnell Mutual Agent.

Allende won a plurality in September's general election over a representative of Frei's left-of-center Christian Democratic party and a conservative.

Congress elected Allende to six-year term last month after he agreed to constitutional amendments to safeguard civil liberties and the election procless from his Communist supporters. The 62-year-old new president, who left' medicine for politics and became a senator, scheduled separate receptions later in the day for the diplomatic gations, "unofficial" visitors from Communist nations not yet recognized by Chile and for the Chilean people. The unofficial delegations were invited by the Popular Unity coalition of leftist parties on whose ticket Allende ran. Allende invited the public tonight to La Moneda, the presidential mansion. His supporters planned a "popular fiesta for the new Chile" a block away on Bernardo 'Higgins Avenue, the city's main street named for Chile's national hero.

Strong Voter Turnout Reported in Many States WASHINGTON (AP) Awaking in most parts of the nation to rain and overcast skies, Americans still turned out in unusually heavy numbers today to choose a new Congress and shape their state governments.

Butherus noted it is "understandable why the staff recommendation is what it is," but termed the choice 'a pretty close situation." "I'm not sure it's the right one," he added. "But I'm not sure that it isn't. So I would be willing I guess to go along with the staff recommendaaltion." Connell, who had cited that the $12,000 difference in premiums and Great-West willing ness to cover fire and police, was late to the meeting and missed the discussion. White offered no objections, but did ask when fire and police coverage would be obtained. Pugh replied that "by the first of next month" he hopes to have recommendation on a work-: amen's compensation policy for fire and police officers the original impetus for seeking to change city employe insurance.

Smiley said he "would be looking for a carrier of carriers who would probably pick up our whole workmen's compensation program." The present has refused to insure public safety personnel on the job. Smiley said liability insurance might also be added along with the extended workmen's compensation. A resolution has been placed on tonight's City Council agenda authorizing the contract with Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Butherus asserted this morning that he hadn't changed his mind completely, but decided to go with the staff proposal after reading the comparative evaluation of UI Prof. Emmett Vaughan.

"I really haven't changed my mind that much," he explained. "I basically have placed my trust in the staff and the expert." Butherus said Vaughan's report disclosed "some things I wasn't aware of" and conceded the comparison of the six proposals was "a difficult thing to look at."

"Rose Bowl" is the sarcastic name for the big brown patch of sewage which rises two miles out in the Atlantic from the underwater conduit which carries away the raw wastes of Miami Beach. Members of the Eco-Commando Force 70, a private ecological group, dumped 700 bottles into the Atlantic near the untreated sewage outlet two miles offshore Oct. 22.

Each bottle carried a post card addressed to Gov. Claude Kirk or the Miami News. Kirk said his office participated to show "that at least some of the sewage has got to reach the beach." George Gardner, Kirk's administrative assistant, said, most significant thing about this is it points to the fact that sewage doesn't stay in one place." For the past 11 days, bottles have floated ashore at Pompano Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Port Ever-. glades and Dania, 25 to 40 miles north of the "Rose Bowl." The News has received 62 cards and Kirk's office received 47. The Force, which has proclaimed an "unconventional war on pollution," said the bottle experiment was planned to see where the sewage goes after it is dumped.

It appears that some bottles -and presumably traces of sewage--will make long journeys before they return to shore. A Coast Guard boat spotted one flotilla of 50 bottles heading northward in the Gulf Stream off Fort Lauderdale. Last summer Kirk signed into law a bill that gives Miami Beach until 1974 to start treating its sewage before emptying it into the ocean. were electing 35 senators, 35 governors and 435-member House of Representatives. The angry clamor of a bitter mid-term campaign was yielding to the solemnity of the decision.

Republicans appeared likely to add one to three seats to their minority position in the Senate. Little change was expected in the Democratic-controlled House. Democrats appeared headed for statehouse gains of perhaps a half-dozen governorships. The President noted the party in the White House usually loses substantially in congressional balloting in off elections, but he said Republicans will do better than that this time. He wouldn't make a prediction in numbers, though.

Above all, Nixon said, he hoped voters would turn out in great numbers. "This is a day for the majority to speak," he said. The turnout across the nation seemed to be fulfilling this expressed wish. In Rhode Island, a possibly unprecedented off-year high appeared in the offing. Voting was heavy in Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri and Oklahoma and tending toward heavy in Connecticut, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Utah and Virginia.

Against this trend were Maryland and the city of Detroit, though the rest of Michigan showed a strong turnout. The rain belt included Virginia, Maryland, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri and Nebraska. Nebraska also was getting some snow as was Texas' western panhandle. The voting followed a campaign in which Republicans stressed law and order and Democrats hammered at the state of the economy. The GOP theme was continued even on election day as White House Press Secretary Ronald L.

Ziegler volunteered a statement at San. Clemente about the rock throwing incident following Nixon's speech last Thursday in San Jose. "It was a serious and unfortunate incident that I personally would hope never would occur again around the President of the United States and those accompanying him," Ziegler said. The San Jose police chief, Ray Blackmore, had said Monday that reports of the violence were exaggerated. Ziegler disagreed.

The reports "were in no way exaggerated," he said. Rent an Easier Way of Living WARREN RENTAL 1210 S.
