President Reagan and his wife perhaps because he had stripped away some of the dent's as in The ard of Oz Warming to the metaphor during an interview in his New York hotel suite Regan said that Nancy Re- agan's use of astrology to guide her husband was only important be- cause he was president And as he described in some detail the moment in the film when the curtain is drawn aside by dog Toto and the Wizard is re- doing all the spinning of the Regan mused that in The Wizard of after all they lived happily ever afterward Of the Reagans he said as far as the Reagans are concerned they will have I hope a very happy life after the presidency More seriously in defense of the disclosures which the White House has denounced as a breach of Regan said Re- Isn't it Only in Washington can you be accused of doing damage and being wrong in telling the truth Donald Regan member a lesson of the affair This the secret of Nancy's faith in astrology was a cover-up Why should I participate in a Why can't I tell the Why am I being taken to task for telling the Regan a super salesman on Wall Street before he joined the Reagan White House is in the business of selling his book and tries in each of the many interviews he has been giving to say something new for the sake of the story and the publicity that has been giving the first family fits The book was released earlier this week and retailers Tuesday reported it was selling briskly Regan's predecessor as White House chief of staff Treasury Secretary James Baker III who knew early in the administration of Nancy Reagan's interest in astrology and learned to work around it Tuesday joined critics in saying that Regan damaged himself in writing the book Was the pressure of criticism telling on His Irish countenance fairly twinkled with enjoyment Aw you know me ter than he said smiling broadly Isn't it he said Only in Washington can you be accused of doing damage and being wrong in telling the truth Later he added This is not a state secret I have not revealed how to make an atomic bomb I have not revealed how to fight star wars What I have done is to reveal an idiosyncrasy that was initially harmless and could be accommodated but later developed into something that hurt policy Regan acknowledged that he first vowed that he would write his book as he drove away from the White House on Feb 27 1986 the day he

avoiding public appearances and press conferences Troubleshooters look at arms pact Persistence pays off in couple's struggle to stay in their home By JACKIE YOUNG Courier Staff Writer Roy and Leona Fay are examples of people who have successfully aged a potential long-term medical care crisis despite the obstacles in their path Like many elderly couples the rural east Waterloo residents didn't want Roy institutionalized And by being assertive persistent and taking advantage of a range of available community services Roy was able to avoid a stay in a nursing home The increasing availability of com- services across the state has allowed more elderly lowans to remain at home and avoid costly stays in nursing homes said Betty Grandquist executive director of the Iowa Department of Elder Affairs Despite the aging of Iowa's population the number of lowans in nursing homes has re- mained stable during the past 10 years Grandquist says In the future even more lowans may be able to stay home because of case management services Grandquist says Case management involves assembling a team of care providers that can devise a plan to allow a person to stay home Through case management costs can be kept down especially by using volunteer assistance available in the community PILOT CASE management grams are operating in Cedar Rapids and Mason City Last session Grand- quist said the

many of whom practice informal case management have been considering how to ment a formal program so more people who perhaps aren't as sertive as the Fays can get the care and services they need The

troubled arms control treaty and said he was sure the Soviet Union wants to resolve differences that led the Senate to shelve the pact indefinitely Shultz before meeting with Soviet Foreign Minister

the treaty before the Moscow summit The summit between Reagan and Soviet Communist Party General Secretary Mikhail S Gorbachev is scheduled for May 2 Shevardnadze arriving in Geneva on Tuesday had

Forces treaty have been resolved I he said In Washington Sen Sam Nunn D- Ga chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said today the Senate could ratify the nuclear arms agreement in time for

have to be dealt he said on Good Morning ca The treaty signed by Reagan and Gorbachev at the Washington mit meeting in December is the first to scrap an entire category of nuclear arms It also provides for un- precedented on-site inspection of missile factories and bases to guard against cheating In the last few weeks the Soviets had raised objections to various procedures proposed by the U.S side These include the scope of in- within designated areas and use of Asked if he thought the Soviets were backsliding or causing trouble Shultz did not criticize Moscow In fact he said of Shevardnadze he wants to see the INF treaty com- and into operation as much as I do As problems arise I am sure he will want to look at them Shultz said he hoped the treaty will be ratified before Reagan begins the summit with Gorbachev But he said I can't tell what the Senate will do Shultz and Shevardnadze planned to meet twice today and twice day on the problems and on the wide range of summit topics including human rights The differences over verification have prompted the Senate to pone indefinitely ratification of the treaty to scrap 683 Soviet missiles and 364 U.S rockets Sources

programs DBS MOINES AP Gov Terry Branstad opening what's likely to be a year-long debate over education in Iowa Tuesday said he'll give serious attention to setting up pre- kindergarten programs across Iowa The governor said that will come during a review of the state's school funding formula scheduled for next year I'll give serious attention to pre- kindergarten programs as a way of identifying students when I begin to review the school aid for- Branstad said In a speech to an education group Branstad said he's asked state De- of Education officials to begin drafting proposals for the re- vision and he wants them to consider the programs as part of the package A proposal to require that school districts offer grams was scuttled this year in the face of estimates it would cost local schools millions of dollars Branstad did not spell out the de- tails of his proposal and costs could vary widely depending on how the program is structured One estimate for the program proposed this year predicted a wide cost of million Branstad aides said one potential source of funding which has been discussed is shifting money currently used for phantom students Those are state payments for students who don't really exist designed to cushion funding for districts losing enrollment No final decision has been made on funding aides said The governor's comments are the opening round of what's likely to be a year-long battle over education When legislators last year approved a million teacher pay increase they also voted to eliminate the rent funding formula after this year's legislative elections That forces the Legislature to re- write the complex formula through which hundreds of millions of dollars in state assistance goes to the more than 400 local school districts The governor said he wants a panel of state education experts to give him recommendations to help develop the best guidelines for revising that formula speech cast education in terms of its role in economic development and he said the school funding debate should focus on ing equal education in all schools Every student in Iowa deserves equal Branstad said We must not leave any of our dren behind whether they are at risk or at a disadvantage in terms of access to quality education The school aid formula sunsets next year so we must soon begin to look at how our educational system is to be the governor said The speech was before the Iowa Educational Forum a knit group of educational experts from a wide spectrum of professions Legislative staffers said there are about children in the state who would be eligible for kindergarten programs for olds The proposal shelved this year would have required school districts to offer the programs but wouldn't have required parents to send their children
