Elders Fight With ~ Safety Caps Those child-proof caps that are now on many household\ productsand medicine bottles have worked prefty weil in protecting the younger set. But many of the nation's older citizens aren't too happy: The caps are thwarting. them as well. The Consumer - Product Safety Commission has been hearing from these people, the elderly and handicapped men and women who say that it is often a struggle to get a cap dr container lid off. The special caps have been in use as part of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act of 1970. Changes are under con- sideration. The panel may request the appointment of some older men and women who could test the prototypes. The age range of commission members is 18 to '45. The men and women concerned about time required to open a safety-cap container should 'be reduced. Another approach worth study would be the sale by pharmacists to adults, at cost, of non'safety, reusable containers for certain medications. This is being done on a limited basis now in some parts of the country.. -BRIDGEPORT (Conn.) TELEGRAM 4 10-Mile Oil Slick Endangers Mississippi ST.

The subjects of such meetings are never disclosed, but the agenda was certain to pivot on current -felations between the Soviet Union and United States. However, the president was to talk with children as well as Generals today. Reagan and his- - wife, Nancy, planned to preside in the afternoon over the traditional Easter Egg roll on the sloping south lawn of the White House. The president arrived back in Washington - about - sundown Sunday after Air Force One rocketed him home from California in only three hours and 50 minutes. The president had gone to Los Angeles for twodayslast Wednesday before spending the rest of . the weekend isolated at his moun- tain ranch. Before leaving California, he attended Easter church ser- vices at a chapel in the Santa Ynez Valley. Because of securi- ty precautions, the Reagans seldom attend church services and were clearly pleased by the warm reception they received fromsthe congregation of 400 worshipers. - The Reagans joined in the hymn singing, standing with their atms around each other; watched the baptism of an infant, Skye Julia Bargdahn; and the president put a folded bill into the offering plate. The president and first lady held hands throughout the 20-minute sermon about the traditional meaning of Easter. The meetings at the White House today provide Reagan with his first opportunity to receive in-depth information on international developments whi unfolded while he vacationed in California for the gem time since assuming of- ice Teachers Union Likely To Back Mondale WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Former Vice President Waiter Mondale is the likely recipient of the first major endorsement of the 1964 presidential cam- paign, that of the the National EducationAssociation. Kenneth Melley, the NEA's political director, said the 1.7 million-member union that vies with the Teamsters as being the nation's largest enjoys its status as first-out-of-the-gate and the chance to play kingmaker in 1984. The NEA is scheduled to make its endorsement in Washington on Oct. 1, before the AFL-CIO picks its candi- date and five months before the first primary. The NEA endorsement is much more than just the backing of thousands of tea chers. The union has one of the most sophisticated political operations in the country. In 1980, NEA elected 311 Another Window Broken at National Fuel BUFFALO, NY.

UPI Science Editor CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. {(UPI) stream winds subsided today and the launch ctor issued a \go' for the afternoon blastoff of the nation's newest space shuttle, +- Challenger, on a crucial orbital BULLETIN CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (UPI) -Challenger,America's its much-delayed first flight “F shakedown run. The countdown was proceed- mg flawlessly toward a 1:30 p.m. EST launch of the nation's second space freighter and its cargo - the world's largest and most powerful communications satellite. Mission commander Paul Weitz, $0, co-pilot Karol Bobko, 45, and flight engineers Story Musgrave 47, and Donald Peterson, 49, were ready to go on the five-day, 80-orbit voyage around Earth. Winds 40,000 to 45,000 feet above the spaceport had created the only element of uncertainty. But at 9:05 a.m., launchcontrol spokesman Hugh Harrig reported the latest computer analysis of data from weather balloons indicated that conditions were acceptable for Lawmen Propose Usage Of Cameras In DWI Arrests By JIM HUDNUT J-R Staff Writer Law enforcement agencies in Orleans County are hoping to step-up their \war\ on in- toxicated drivers through the use of videotape equipment to film the arrest procedure to provide additional evidence in the prosecution of DWI cases. The proposal to purchase videotape equipment for the County Sheriff's Department and the police departments in the villages of Albion, Medina and Holley was one of the several topics discussed at a recent meeting of county lawmen. It is hoped, police said, that the use of videotaping arrests would close off any loopholes often used by defense lawyers in DWI and other cases. \By having the videotape equipment we would have concrete proof of a person's condition whenwe bring them in,\ Undersheriff Merle Fredericks said. \But we would also have proof that the arresting officer did read the person his rights, the time and date of the arrest, the breathalyzer test and anything else that happens during the arrest.\ Fredericks said that in many cases defense lawyersattempt to get the charges dismissed or take the case tocourt for a trial in the hope that a jury will find the individual not guilty because of some error made during the arrest process. \If we had the arrest on tape, we cauld plang thase loopholes by showing the defense lawyers very valuable to -the prosecution and hopefully reduce the mumber of DWI cases going to court and in- creasethe namber of pleas we ga.\ Altion Police Chief Walter sawmmepossmm of But, the cameras would not be solely used in DWI arrests. Both Fredericks and Schutt said the videotapes could be valuable assets in providing training for officers, during other arrests, criminal in terrogations and for viewing by area students. \Now we are limited to taking still photos of accidents, but if we had the tapes, we could have a com- plete record of the incident,\ Fredericks said. \We also feel that the tapes could be used in schools to show the students some of the accidents, especially those involving alcohol. There's nothing like seeing the real thing to.drive the message home.\ While the proposal to pur- chase the videotape equipment has the support of all four local law énforcement agencies along with County Legislator Raymond Cook, who chairs the public safety committee, County STOP-DWI coordinator Robert Tirsch said there is much yet to be studied before the plan could be approved. \I fully support the proposal to use the videotapes,\ Tirsch said. \I do question whether it would be a good idea to im- mediately purchase the equipment because it is rather expensive. But, the use of cameras is legal and it is a good idea.\ Tirsch said be is currently awaiting cost proposals from Sheriff David Green, estimates which will be reviewed by Tirsch, the public safety committee and the County Legislature. \The program is fairly new,\ Tirsch said. 'Because of that we really don't know if the use of cameras would fit our needs over a long period which would mean a lot of money wasted if it proved that the cameras proved not to be practical. Perhaps it would be better, and less expensive, if we leased the equipment for a period of six months. If the equipment proves a positive effect, then we could consider purchasing. But, I do feel it would help the program and many other areas of police work.\ Premium Funds Restored To County 4-H Junior Fair ALBION - The threatened loss of $5,000 from the 1983 Orleans County 4+H Junior Fair will aot come about as the State Legislature has restored the funding to the 1983-84 state budget. In his original budget, Gov. Mario Cuomo proposed the slashing of $470,000 from the State budget, money which has been targeted for county fairs across the state especially junior fairs The premizm motey is used by the sponsors of the fair to provide extra cash incentives to young people who prepare exhibits for the fair. The awards are up for the possible loss of 19x funds. But, with the rein statement of the money in the budget, fair officials feel the future of local fair will be strong. . Bright said, \I spoke with a Assemblyman Hawley and found out that the money had been restored. We are very pleased to hear that news because it soives one of the biggest problems we would have faced this year. It would have been very difficult for the fair board to make up that $5,000 because the fair really doesn't make that much With the funds assured, Bright said the fair board can begin to talk about other matters to improve the quality of the annual summer event 'The fair needs several things all of which are on the minds of the fair board.\ she said. going to have to be made soon and the board has been discussing the possibility of expanding the fair and further developing the fair grounds. Fortunately, we don't have to deal with the loss of the premiums this year so we can concentrate our efforts on the feature.\ Demands May Be Raised In Dome Stadium Suit ROCHESTER, MY.

Easter Break Provided Traveling Time For N.Y. Congressmen By JOSEPH MIANOWANY WASHINGTON (UPI) - When Congress returns from its Easter recess this week, about 40 percent of New York's delegation will be able to tell tales of faraway lands or sunny climes visited during the break. Many of them, it ap- pears, will have paid little or nothing for their experiences. The travel is part of what has become a sort of congressional tradition, in which numerous senators and representatives use the spring break to embark on \fact-finding\ tours, give speeches or attend seminars - the expenses for which are normally paid by outside groups or Congress itself. Congressional aides are usu- ally quick to point out the trips are business and necessary for the nation's legislators to adequately conducttheir work. This year, according to information supplied by aides to each of New York's 3M representatives and two sena- tors, at least 14 of the lawmakers used the break for business trips. Most, it appears, had someone else picking up much of the tab. The places visited included Hawaii, Europe and an island off the coast of Florida. But it appears the leading attraction was the Far East. At least four of the Empire State's traveling legislators made their way there. Rep. Charles Rangel accom- panied House Speaker Thomas O'Nefll and 13 other representa- tives on a much-publicized trip to China. A spokeswoman for the speaker said expenses were handled by Congress, through the State Department. Meanwhile, Reps. Richard Ottinger and Norman Lent were among 10 members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee who journeyed to Japan and China to meet with trade officials, aides said. An Ottinger aide said it was believed Congress and the governments of Japan and China would pick up most of the costs. An aide to Lent said he wasn't certain how the trip was being financed. And, Rep. Barber Conable, Jr., traveled to Japan and Korea as part of a House Ways and Means Trade Subcommit- tee voyage An aide said expenses were to be paid by the subcommittee. Other New York represects- tives who wert overseas includ- ed David 'B. Martin, who headed for Lisbon, Naples, “mmmupmda Rep. Geraldine Perraro was cmigoe in thesense that an atde said ber trip to EIsrsel and MWfiWQe mwmmww States, although Rep. Mario Biaggi did manage to get to Hawaii to hold a hearing of the House Merchant Marine Sub- committee. An aide said it was believed han- . dled those expenses. Meanwhile, Reps. Sam Strat- ton and Matthew McHugh went to Captiva Island off Florida for a seminar on high technology and defense. AMcHughspokeswoman said she was not sure how the trip was being paid for. However, an aide to a Massachusetts repmeniative attending the same seminar said most of his s expenses were being paid by the Electronic Industries Association, which organized the affair. Other New York legislators who hit the road included Reps. James Scheuer and Raymond McGrath, who attended a hearing on agriculture in the West Palm Beach area of Florida. An aide to Scheuer said business-related expenses were paid by Congress. Meanwhile, Rep. Ted Weiss held three hearings of the House subcommittee on Inter- governmental Relations and Human Resources in Pennsyl- vania, Alabama and Los Angeles. Rep. Edoliphus Towns, an aide said, made it to Los Angeles for that proceeding. Business expenses were to be paid by Congress, aides said. Aides to Rep. Robert Garcia said they believed the congress- man was in Puerto Rico on a combinationbusinessandpleas ure trip, although it was not clear how the trip was being financed. On the Senate side, Alfonse D'Amato used the break for a family vacation, an aide said. Sen. Daniel Moyn than managed to get out to California to deliver an expense-paid speech to a hightech group, a spokesman said.
