Reagan signs
overtime bill
WASHINGTON (AP) - President
Reagan signed ingliletinn Wednes-
day to skirl a Supreme Court niliof
manta to oonttoua offariog time off
la Uau of overtime pay.
“Without tltoa legislation, the coat
of aarvicaa that atato aad local
provide — police,
and other aarvicaa
r to the auccaaa of any com-
munity — would have increased by
as much as IS billion per year,”
Reagan said in a written statement.
In a decision February in a case
known as Garcia versus San Antonio
Metropolitan Transit Authority, the
Supreme Court ruled that state and
local governments were required to
pay overtime to all employes who
worked more than 40 hours a week.
Government officials, worrying
about huge overtime bills and the
proepoct of tax increases to aper
higher costs, implored Congress for
relisf.
Under e compromise adopted by
the House and Senate, compen-
satory time can be offered in lieu of
overtime, but only if it is offered at
time and a half, the same as over
time cash.
The legislation limits compen-
satory time to 240 hours, except for
police, firefighters, emergency
workers and seasonal employes.
They could accumulate 480 hours
Reagan signed the bill in a private
ceremony, attended by members of
Congress and others.
Sen. Pete Wilson, R-Calif., who at-
tended the ceremony, called the
measure "half a loaf.”

WASHINGTON t AP) - Malprac-
tice insurance premiums for
obstetricians have risen an average
of 19.871 over the last two years, pro-
mpting a growing number of physi-
cians to leave the field or limit their
practices, the American College of
Obstetricians and Gynecologists
said today.
The professional organization,
releasing the results of a survey of
some 1,400 obstetricians-
gynecologists, said the rising
malpractice insurance fees threaten
to limit women's access to quality
care by persuading physicians to
enter medical fields with a lower
risk of being sued.
“The most dramatic and
discouraging trend is the growing
proportion of physicians who are
decreasing the level of high-risk
obstetrics," said Dr. William Mix-
son, the organization’s president.
"It is here where we need the most
skillful and dedicated physicians,”
he said. "Yet. it is here that we see a
growing number shying away.”
Mixson said 23 percent of the
physicians surveyed said they have
decreased the amount of high-risk
obstetrics they perform because of
the increasing chance of being sued
and the higher malpractice
premiums.
He said other data show that
young physicians entering practice
are shunning the field of high-risk
pregnancies entirely. Of the 75
specialized programs in the field, he
said, 45 have staff vacancies.
The study said that 73 percent of
the physicians surveyed had at least
one malpractice claim filed against
them, with 48 percent facing two or
more claims.
That compares with about two-
thirds who had at least one claim
against them in the organization’s
1983 survey. In 1983,35.9 percent fac-
ed two or more malpractice claims.
The largest type of lawsuit was
gynecological injury to the patient,
accounting for 28.9 percent of suits
filed, the orgnization said. Brain
damage or injury to the infant ac-
counted for 20.4 percent of the
claims.
Most of the cases—71.4 percent-
are settled out of court, the organisa-
tion said. The median settlement, or
midpoint on the scale, was $30,000,
meaning half the settlements were
smaller and half were larger.
But the range was wide, the
organization said, with 12.9 percent
settled for less than $5,000 and only
4.6 percent paying more than $1
million. Of the total, 11.1 percent set-
tled the claim but paid nothing.
Of those that ultimately went to
trial, the group said, the physician
won in 80.9 percent of the cases
The lawsuits and settlements are
reflected in malpractice premiums.
Of those surveyed, the group said,
the average premium was $20,818 a
year, and 92.8 percent of the
respondents said their premium had
increased over the last two years.
Ireland OKs landmark British pact
DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) - The
Irish Cabinet today approved a
ground-breaking agreement
negotiated with Britain aimed at
pacifying Northern Ireland after 16
years of conflict.
"The government has considered
the Anglo-Irish, agreement and ap-
proved it,” said a brief statement
after the five-hour Cabinet meeting.
It did not elaborate.
The British Cabinet met today to
discuss the new deal, which gives
the Irish Republic a consultative
role in running predominantly Pro-
testant Northern Ireland.
Leaders of both countries were ex-
pected to meet at a summit, possibly
Friday, to sign the agreement.
British leaders have been at pains
to reassure the Protestants that
British sovereignty will be unchang-
ed.

Blowout
affects
families
CHANDLER, Okla. (AP) — Sbggy
weather proved a mixed blessing to-
day for residents routed by the
blowout of s natural gas well as a
lack of wind limited the affected
area, but continued rains hampered
efforts to cap the well, officials said.
The well, three miles north of
Chandler on a county road west of
state Highway 18. blew about 6 p.m.
Wednesday, said Undersheriff Chris
Brown. Brown said spew** gas
could be heard more than a mile
from the blowout.
Famed by strong ntfrih winds
Wednesday night, the natural gas
cloud fanned out a distance of more
than one mile. No injuries were
reported.
About 30 families in a corridor one
mile wide by three miles long south
of the well were told to leave their
homes Wednesday night.
Some of the families were allowed
to return this morning, as calm con-
ditions limited the size of the gas
cloud spewing from the well, said
Capt. Joe Hoover of the Chandler
Fire Department.
Randa Johns, spokeswoman for
the Lincoln County sheriff's depart-
ment. said about five or six of the 25
to 30 affected families had been
allowed to return to their homes.
“They’re all in the southernmost
location of the affected area,” Johns
said. "But they’re being warned not
to turn on their pilot lights, and
things like that.”
Brown estimated last night that
the w?ll was spewing out 4 to 6
million cubic feet a minute.
She said the blowout “has subsid-
ed some — but it’s still extremely
dangerous."
Estimates that the well could be
capped by noon today failed to take
into account the quagmire condi-
tions around the well brought about
by heavy rains that began last night
and continued today, Hoover and
Johns said.
