Belot5erlsovstys main deviation from the American description of the sanation was his contention that radioactive fauont would not exceed limits '" recomroffidgd by the Inter- naSoB- Bl Commission on Radkaogi- - cal Protection,' a reference to a VH. body that studied the issue. American experts have noted that when a similar satellite with a simi-lar reactor. Cosmos S54, plunged into the atmosphere in 1978, several ra-dioactive fragments landed in Cana-da's Northwest Territories. The rieanop took months and cost about $ g minkm, part of which was paid by the Soviet Union. Several nations, mcloding the United States, Britain and Sweden, have set up special teams to monitor the progress of Cosmos 1402. Contin-gency plans are being reviewed for finding and recovering radioactive fragments in the event that any sur-vive re- ent- ry and fall to Earth. A week ago, officials at the North American Aerospace Defense Com-mand said the satellite was in an er-ratic orbit about ISO miles above the Earth and was losing altitode at a rate of about three or four miles a day. They said it could plunge into the atmosphere by the end of this month, but that they would not be able to give more than a few hours warning of when and where the frag-ments are likely to fafl-- Part cc the concern about Cosmos 1402 stems from its relatively large size five tons. But the main prob-lem lies with its nuclear reactor, containing more than 100 pounds of enriched uranium, which has been used to generate electricity to oper-ate the satellite's radar for observ-ing the movement of the world's navies. Belotserkovsky, who did not ex- plaintfcemis- sknn of the satellite, said mat Cosmos 1402 completed its work Dec 28 and was separated on com-mand into three parts. One of these parts re- enter- ed the atmosphere and burned up Dec 30, be said. " Accenting to preliminary calcu-lations," he said, " the main part of the satellite structure wifl enter the dense layers of the atmosphere late in January, and the fuel core in mid- Februa- ry this year." Social Security panel reaches compromise Benefits to be taxed, frozen WASHINGTON UPI) The bi-partisan Social Security Commis-sion, trying to rescue the troubled system which provides aid to mil-lions of Americans, reached an 11th- ho- ur " compromise solution" Satur-day night, the White House an-nounced. President Reagan, who created the bipartisan group after Social Se-curity proposals of his own ran into a political firestorm, told aides who briefed him on the final package late Saturday that " it suits me." said deputy press secretary Larry Speak- e- s. Speakes said the commission voted 12-- 3 Saturday night to accept the plan, which would immediately raise $ 16 billion for the system through a combination of payroll tax increases, taxes on benefits and a six- mon- th freeze on benefits. He said there had been " direct contact" between staff members of the White House and House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill to affirm support of both Republican and Democratic leaders on the compromise. " We've succeeded," commission chairman Alan Greenspan told a news conference following the meet-ing. " We put the interests of the na-tion in front of our individual solu-tions." Greenspan said Reagan and O'N-eill both agreed to the proposal, adopted by the panel with dissenting votes from three conservative mem-bers. " Each of us recognizes that this is a compromise solution," Reagan said in a statement released by his press office. " As such, it includes el-ements which each of us could not support if they were not part of a bi-partisan compromise. " However, in the intrest of solving the Social Security problem prompt-ly, equitably and on a bipartisan ba-sis, we have agreed to support and work for this bipartisan solution." According to a White House fact sheet, the main points of the plan in-cluded: - the $ 169 billion trust fund im-provement from this year through 1989, " restoring Social Security re serves to safer levels of about 30 per-cent of outgo by 13." a six- mon- th delay on cost of liv-ing payments to all beneficiaries, with low- inco- me elderly protected. - insuring future solvency by " trigger" mechanisms which would shift the method of adjusting the cost of living index and providing " catch up" benefits at certain points. bringing newly- hire- d federal employees into the Social Security program beginning Jan. 1, 1984. and banning future withdrawals from the system by state and local employers after the new legislation becomes ef-fective. Those moves would bring in another $ 23 billion. creating incentives for later re-tirement O'Neill, in a statement, termed the agreement " acceptable to the presi-dent and to me, one which 1 can sup-port and will work for. I am hopeful that it will provide the basis for bi-partisan cooperation in the ( House) Ways and Means Committee and the full House of Representatives. " As I stated on Jan. 3." O'Neill continued, " this legislation is at the top of the agenda of the new Con-gress. It is vitally necessary." Reagan issued an immediate exec-utive order extending the life of the commission, which was scheduled to expire at midnight, until January 20 in order to allow the commission staff members time to officially pre-pare its report. Republican congressional leaders said they approved the plan. Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker called it " a sound plan" and pledged he would work with the Democrats for legislative passage. Rep. Robert Michel, R- 0- L, the minority leader in the House, said the recommenda-tions " are not entirely what I would have preferred," but endorsed them. : White House aide James Baker and others briefed the president about 7 p. m., immediately after Reagan concluded a White House re-ception honoring Dr. Martin Luther King. Speakes said the administration group then returned to Blair House for a meeting of the full commission " to hash it around some more." Federal spending freeze could be coming for ' 84 WASHINGTON ( UPI) Senate Budget Committee Chairman Pete Dosnerdci says no deep domestic budget cuts can be made this year and a broad spending freeze will likely be used instead to keep the deficit below $ 200 billion. " I think anything more than a freeze would be very difficult to live with," Domenici. R- N.- M., said. Without any budget changes at all, he said, the deficit could rise to a whopping $ 250 billion or $ 260 billion in fiscal year 1931, winch begins Oct. 1. The deficit was a record $ 110.7 bil-lion in fiscal year 1982. But be said emphatically that Con-gress will keep the federal red ink under $ 200 bfllion, " and it will be coming down" in later years. Domenici, chairman of the Budget Committee the past two years, said he was " not privy" to the details in President Reagan's 1984 budget pro-posal, which win be submitted to Congress Jan. 31. But he said be doubts it contains $ 30 billion in do-mestic budget cuts. " That wont happen," be said. That's too much. That's too high." " The best I can see is a collective composite freeze that would come out at about the same level ($ 30 bil-lion)," Domenici said. " That's the direction I think it will go." He also said he does not expect a major tax increase for fiscal year 1984, which begins Oct. 1, except per-haps in the Social Security area where scheduled tax hikes might be accelerated to save the system. He said he would not " pass judgment yet" on Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger's reduction of $ 8 billion from a $ 247 billion defense spending request for 1964, saying be was more interested in the cuts in defense growth for 1985, 1986 and 1967. ' Tm not going to pass judgment yet, but it does appear to me that there ought to be more savings in " 85, " 86 and 87, and men maybe there has to be more in the " 84 bad- get- ," Domenici said. Unless the 1984 budget shows defi-cits declining from $ 250 billion to $ 80 bfllion or $ 90 billion over the next four or five years, Domenici said, in-terest rates win not come down and me economy will not recover. ' Tm not terribly fearful of infla-tion in the short term," be said. ' Tve become quite angry when pub-lic officials representing the exec-utive branch say they dont think deficits matter any more. They mat-ter!"

Most people enter nursing because tney want to help people, says Lydta Goad, director of the Columbia Visiting Nurses Association, ideally, a nurse is concerned with protecting a pa-tient's health in the presence of disease. Nurs-es do this by observing how patients respond to their treatment and teaching them to better care for themselves. But nurses are often frus-trated in carrying out these duties, she says. " Ask a nurse if they can conceive, develop and carry out something as innocuous as a simple education procedure," says Steven Dfl- Iead- er, a staff nurse in the University Haspj- tal-' s surgical intensive care ward.

Social Security panel reaches compromise Benefits to be taxed, frozen WASHINGTON UPI) The bi-partisan Social Security Commis-sion, trying to rescue the troubled system which provides aid to mil-lions of Americans, reached an 11th- ho- ur " compromise solution" Satur-day night, the White House an-nounced. President Reagan, who created the bipartisan group after Social Se-curity proposals of his own ran into a political firestorm, told aides who briefed him on the final package late Saturday that " it suits me." said deputy press secretary Larry Speak- e- s. Speakes said the commission voted 12-- 3 Saturday night to accept the plan, which would immediately raise $ 16 billion for the system through a combination of payroll tax increases, taxes on benefits and a six- mon- th freeze on benefits. He said there had been " direct contact" between staff members of the White House and House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill to affirm support of both Republican and Democratic leaders on the compromise. " We've succeeded," commission chairman Alan Greenspan told a news conference following the meet-ing. " We put the interests of the na-tion in front of our individual solu-tions." Greenspan said Reagan and O'N-eill both agreed to the proposal, adopted by the panel with dissenting votes from three conservative mem-bers. " Each of us recognizes that this is a compromise solution," Reagan said in a statement released by his press office. " As such, it includes el-ements which each of us could not support if they were not part of a bi-partisan compromise. " However, in the intrest of solving the Social Security problem prompt-ly, equitably and on a bipartisan ba-sis, we have agreed to support and work for this bipartisan solution." According to a White House fact sheet, the main points of the plan in-cluded: - the $ 169 billion trust fund im-provement from this year through 1989, " restoring Social Security re serves to safer levels of about 30 per-cent of outgo by 13." a six- mon- th delay on cost of liv-ing payments to all beneficiaries, with low- inco- me elderly protected. - insuring future solvency by " trigger" mechanisms which would shift the method of adjusting the cost of living index and providing " catch up" benefits at certain points. bringing newly- hire- d federal employees into the Social Security program beginning Jan. 1, 1984. and banning future withdrawals from the system by state and local employers after the new legislation becomes ef-fective. Those moves would bring in another $ 23 billion. creating incentives for later re-tirement O'Neill, in a statement, termed the agreement " acceptable to the presi-dent and to me, one which 1 can sup-port and will work for. I am hopeful that it will provide the basis for bi-partisan cooperation in the ( House) Ways and Means Committee and the full House of Representatives. " As I stated on Jan. 3." O'Neill continued, " this legislation is at the top of the agenda of the new Con-gress. It is vitally necessary." Reagan issued an immediate exec-utive order extending the life of the commission, which was scheduled to expire at midnight, until January 20 in order to allow the commission staff members time to officially pre-pare its report. Republican congressional leaders said they approved the plan. Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker called it " a sound plan" and pledged he would work with the Democrats for legislative passage. Rep. Robert Michel, R- 0- L, the minority leader in the House, said the recommenda-tions " are not entirely what I would have preferred," but endorsed them. : White House aide James Baker and others briefed the president about 7 p. m., immediately after Reagan concluded a White House re-ception honoring Dr. Martin Luther King. Speakes said the administration group then returned to Blair House for a meeting of the full commission " to hash it around some more." Federal spending freeze could be coming for ' 84 WASHINGTON ( UPI) Senate Budget Committee Chairman Pete Dosnerdci says no deep domestic budget cuts can be made this year and a broad spending freeze will likely be used instead to keep the deficit below $ 200 billion. " I think anything more than a freeze would be very difficult to live with," Domenici. R- N.- M., said. Without any budget changes at all, he said, the deficit could rise to a whopping $ 250 billion or $ 260 billion in fiscal year 1931, winch begins Oct. 1. The deficit was a record $ 110.7 bil-lion in fiscal year 1982. But be said emphatically that Con-gress will keep the federal red ink under $ 200 bfllion, " and it will be coming down" in later years. Domenici, chairman of the Budget Committee the past two years, said he was " not privy" to the details in President Reagan's 1984 budget pro-posal, which win be submitted to Congress Jan. 31. But he said be doubts it contains $ 30 billion in do-mestic budget cuts. " That wont happen," be said. That's too much. That's too high." " The best I can see is a collective composite freeze that would come out at about the same level ($ 30 bil-lion)," Domenici said. " That's the direction I think it will go." He also said he does not expect a major tax increase for fiscal year 1984, which begins Oct. 1, except per-haps in the Social Security area where scheduled tax hikes might be accelerated to save the system. He said he would not " pass judgment yet" on Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger's reduction of $ 8 billion from a $ 247 billion defense spending request for 1964, saying be was more interested in the cuts in defense growth for 1985, 1986 and 1967. ' Tm not going to pass judgment yet, but it does appear to me that there ought to be more savings in " 85, " 86 and 87, and men maybe there has to be more in the " 84 bad- get- ," Domenici said. Unless the 1984 budget shows defi-cits declining from $ 250 billion to $ 80 bfllion or $ 90 billion over the next four or five years, Domenici said, in-terest rates win not come down and me economy will not recover. ' Tm not terribly fearful of infla-tion in the short term," be said. ' Tve become quite angry when pub-lic officials representing the exec-utive branch say they dont think deficits matter any more. They mat-ter!"

Most people enter nursing because tney want to help people, says Lydta Goad, director of the Columbia Visiting Nurses Association, ideally, a nurse is concerned with protecting a pa-tient's health in the presence of disease. Nurs-es do this by observing how patients respond to their treatment and teaching them to better care for themselves. But nurses are often frus-trated in carrying out these duties, she says. " Ask a nurse if they can conceive, develop and carry out something as innocuous as a simple education procedure," says Steven Dfl- Iead- er, a staff nurse in the University Haspj- tal-' s surgical intensive care ward.
