The aim of the strategy, 'outlined by Vice President AI. Gore. on Friday at the end of two days of talks wi!h Russian Prime Minister ·Viktor S. Chemomyrdin, is to persuade the parliament that Russia can remain secure and save money, as it gets rid of. nuclear weapons at a faster clip. · But on another touchy .issue, the planned expansion of the NATO military alliance to Russia's border, the Clinton administration is pledging to go ahead despite Russian cpncems. The arms · control and NATO enlargement issues will be taken up by President Clinton and J Ru~sian President Boris Yeltsin in Helsinki, Finland, on March 20-21. ' Their talks, originally scheduled to be 'held in the United Sillies, were switched next door to Russia in deference to Yeltsin's uncertain health. He underwent quintuple bypass heart surgery last year and suffered double pneumonia last month. Yeltsin is in charge of the government, but his ailments are "too serious" for him to conduct business as usual, Chemomyrdin said Friday. The Start 11 nuclear lirms;reduction treaty was signed four years ago, but is on a shelf in the Russian parliament, the DUma. The Russian military is reluctant to get rid of all the VIS_IIBLI!.

Other programs will altempt to enroll in'Medicaid children who are eligible but not signed up now. · The Children's Health Initiative is a "historic effort to cover millions of children who still lack health insurance," Vice President AI Gore said, . referring to part of the budget President Clinton sent to Congress on . Thursday. Nine out of I0. of the nation's uninsurCd children have parents who work, and two-thirds live in two-parent families. '·'Most of them are in . families where the parents work hard and play by the rules," said Health •. and Human Services Secretary DonJIB Shalala. . And covering children can be a fair' ly inexpensive-proposition; the average child 'needs only about $900 worth of ltealth care a year, according to the .. National Association of .Child Advocates. Uninsured children who could be covered by the administration's prOposalfall into five groups: • About 700,000 who lose insurance when a parent loses a job.

I am a 44-year-old .Jlrofessional woman with a loving husband and children. I live 3,000 miles away !rom my parents and see them once a year for two or three weeks. They frequently have stupid argument~ that degenerate into insulting one another 's parents (long dead), and they try to get me involved, which I have skillfully avoided doing. I suggested counseling. They went for several sessioqs, but nothing changed. Mother and Father are in reasonably good health and at times seem · · to enjoy one another's company. They go out to dinner often and even go dancing. . · My mother, however, phones me often to complain about Dad.

Additionally, in emergency situations, blood type'·O can be safely transfused to recipients with other blood types, she noted. "During the past week hospitals throughout our region treated a large number of emergency patients who required transfusions of type 0 neg.alive blood, dropping already lag- . ging inventories of this type," Curry said. . The Red Cross presently main. tail!s less than a one-day supply of 0 negatives (15 units) when a three days supply (57 units) is needed·due to the high demand for 0 negatives. · To give blood individuals must be at leliSI age 17 or older, weigh i 19 pounds, and be in generally good he111th. Individuals can safely give ever 56 days. . The need for blood is ongoing and must be met every day, said Curry, who noted that one pint of blood can benefit as many as four people.

Early weaning .is an i pption for dairy ca/Jies A new report by the USDA's Economic Research Service states that the food ·industry, indeed, is moving rapidly from historic open production and sales to vertical integmtiPn, in which a company controls the flow of commodities across various stages of output, processing and distribution .. Large-scale, capital-int.:nsive manufacturing firms, said the USDA, are "more direct)y controlling the decisions of producers." Gliclcman is being pus~ by farm groups and by family farm activists to take actions to preserve competition in agricultW.:. · And recently, 20 state attorneys general, in a move organized by Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller., formally asked Gliclcman to counter effects of concentration in the livestock industry by: ' -.

While the issue has become a hot one for family farm advocates, the USDA report by economists Steve Maninez and AI Reed indicates the march toward vertical integration isn' t so much driven by guileful efforts of big business to control agriculture as by changing food demands from consumers and technological advances in production techniques. iJENNIFER L BYRNES consume the insect pests Oat destr9Y - GALLIPOLIS - For many dairy · ornamentals. jnoducers, feeding and caring for Unfortunately, there is little com· ~alves in that' eight to 12 week perifort to offer to homeowners at this .!ld prior to weaning is a tedious and stage.

Who \"ouldn 't be suspicious of a repon that wQuld likely raise lots :or taxes and cut lots of benefits? And which arrives on ihe scene as Congress wrestles, so far in vain, with Uncle Sam's inability to pay his bills? This isn't meant to denigrate efforts of economists who concluded tbat the CPI overstate increases in the cost'ofliving by 1.1 percentage points and that if left unfixed will add SI trillion to national debt in 12 years. Even those suspicious of !he conclusions respect the authors. Economist Jon Haveman, for example, sa)'S "I agree with about anything in the report," but he still wonders. "I think they might have had an agenda," he says.· If he wonders, then it is certain that those facing a cut in benefits .cJr. of being racheted into a higher -income-tax bracket by cost-of-living clauses, also will wonder, ilnd that tbeir wonder will evolve into suspicion.. . That's explosive political fodder; whether or not the suspicions are·wellfounded, tbey can be seized upon by candidates seeking to be on the right side_of a popular issue. The reaction is likely.to very emotional. Haveman, assistant professor at Purdue University,.explains that his questions involve "lots of stuff that wasn't included" in the considerations .by the_Congressional Advisory Commission on the Consumer Price Index .. But Prof. Michael Baskin, Stanford University professor and former ch~ir­ man of President Bush's Council of Economic Advisers, contends that the · report was 1horpugh in its investigation of the issues. The CPI, he explains, is based on the concept of a "fixed basket" of goods bought by households, but that jn a· changing society it grows less representative, especially as people respond to price changes and choices. "Fixed" is hardly the proper word for !hose who believe the CPI is dated. "Rigid" would' be more descriptive. The market basket dates from 19821984, so it makes no substitution at all among commodities. Nor does it account for changes in habits. Shoppers today are conscious of price. They buy chicken when beef prices are high. They arc mobile: tbey ·drive to the outlet for appliances and pay less than at the local appliance store. The fixed CPI also has difficulty measuring.quality improvements. Radial tires last three to five times longer than bias-ply tires. Today's color TV sets are clearer;·more reliable and far more powerful than a d~cade ago. "Despite the efforts of the bureau of Labor Statistics to account for quality .changes," says Boskin, "it is widely recognized that improvements in safety, durability and energy efficiency arc not fully rcOected." Life changes, as some retail outlets learned at Christmas. Americans may be sated on "stuff," but they continue to demand more quality and convenience, and if they can get it, service too. How do you measure it? And the commission makes still another point: Non-market items thai heavily affect the quality of life are generally beyond the· scope of mosl Statistical measurements, including the CPl. While unmeasured; they obviously contribute to higher living standards. Even to life itself. Swamping virtually any other consideration, says Baskin, is the tremendous gain in life expectancy, about five years since 1970. Let's be more accurate, he says in a paper for the Americari Enterprise Institute, a think where he is an adjunct fellow. He indicates that with today's information technology much of tbe task can be accomplished. But as he too knows, the challenge could be one of conquering su~pi­ cions and those who exploit suspicions rather than overcoming the complications of methodology. ly promote our marl<et and product leadership," Snell said. .
