Many mayors concerned
over possible cuts in aid
United Press International
MINNEAPOLIS — Housing
and Urban Development Secret
ary Samuel R. Pierce Jr. said
Monday he hopes a controver
sial draft urban policy statement
recommending drastic cuts in
federal aid to cities will not be
adopted as administration
policy.
Pierce, addressing the U.S.
Conference of Mayors, said he
understood the mayors’ concern
about the draft, detailed in Sun
day’s editions of The New York
Times, but said it was prema
ture.
“This administration is still in
the process of formulating its
urban policy,” Pierce told the
mayors. He said the report in
the Times was based on a staff-
written draft, not adopted
policy.
“If I had my way, it will re
main just that — a draft,” Pierce
said.
The Times quoted a draft
saying that cities would be better
off without dependence on
many federal grants. The draft
was discussed at a Cabinet meet
ing Friday. Reagan has re
portedly recommended some
changes in it.

The report said federal aid
had contributed to the decline of
American cities and had trans

leaders of self-reliant cities to
wily stalkers of federal funds,”
according to the Times.
Sen. David Durenberger,
The Minnesota Republican
said the draft had “absolutely
nothing to do with New Federal
ism,” Reagan’s proposals to shift
certain responsibilities to local
governments.
Durenberger said in an inter

work of some underling’s

United Press International
MIAMI — Physicians refus
ing to perform non-emergency
operations in protest against
skyrocketing malpractice insur
ance rates said Saturday they
might be back in their surgical
gowns by today if legislators
approved a tentative agreement
reached with state officials.
“We are going back to Talla
hassee at 7 a.m. Monday morn
ing,” said Dr. Paul Baxt, a leader
of the protest involving 3,000
surgeons and anesthesiologists
at 34 south Florida hospitals.
Baxt, an officer of the Florida
Physicians United for Health
Cost Reform, stressed that doc
tors would not perform elective
surgery until the agreement on
malpractice insurance rates had
been passed by the legislature in
a special session and signed by
Gov. Bob Graham.
The doctors, who have re
fused to perform elective
surgery since Tuesday, have
threatened to halt all surgery

ance premiums.
The doctors

reached an
agreement with representatives
of Graham and State Insurance
Commissioner Bill Gunter late
Friday after bargaining with
them since Wednesday.
Under the tenative agree
ment, doctors would pay the
state Patient’s Compensation
Fund’s new base premium,
which jumped from $4,500 last
year to $20,000 this year.
Another provision that would
have allowed the PCF to bill doc
tors an additional $40,000 was
rejected in favor of a com
promise.
Baxt said the Florida Medical
Malpractice Joint Underwriters
Association, a statutory com
pany set up to insure doctors
who have difficulty obtaining in
surance elsewhere, has agreed
to insure the physicians for the
200 percent assessibility.

LIVERMORE, Calif. — Anti
nuclear activists vowing to shut
down one of the nation’s two
nuclear weapons laboratories
created a massive traffic backup
Monday as waves of protesters
jumped in to fill the ranks of
arrested comrades blocking the
road leading into the plant.
Riot helmeted police drag
ged, carried or lead 1,200 pro
testers to buses waiting to take
them away as the protest got
under way shortly after 5 a.m.
Hundreds of lab employees
attempting to get to work were
stalled in the traffic jam. Some
of them, angry over the miles-
long backup, turned their cars
around and drove away, evok
ing cheers from the demonstra
tors. Other sat patiently in the
cars waiting for police to let
them through.

RANCHO PALOS VERDES,
Calif. — Officials at Marineland
said Saturday they would not
name a new baby born to per
forming killer whale Corky until
they are sure it will survive.
The calf was the fourth born
in captivity, all to Corky, but
none of the others lived long.
If the new 400-pound, 8-foot
arrival survives in its tank, it
would be the first in the world to
do so.
The female calf was born ear
ly Friday in the large Marine-
land tank and as of Saturday
morning had not started
nursing.
