AN OFFICIAL in another county, who would not give her name over the telephone, said, "I've got roads closed. I've got plows stuck. We're going to get people to stay home, we're going to get to work. The dollar is more than safer, I guess."

Research reveals 3 Hiroshima POW deaths
TOKYO (UP1)—A Japanese history researcher said yesterday that he had found records that three more American prisoners of war were killed in the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima, raising the reputed number of U.S. victims to 20.
The researcher, Satsoru Ubuki, 31, an employee of Hiroshima University's research institute for nuclear medicine and biology, said the reports of the three men's deaths were found in a collection of old documents and archives of the Japanese foreign ministry.
The documents, dealing with Japan's seven-year occupation by U.S. military forces after the war, recently were declassified.
Ubuki disclosed Dec. 5 that other documents had been found that dealt with the deaths of 17 other American prisoners in the Hiroshima bombing. Sixteen of the men identified by name, and the papers reported that the identity of the 67th was known.
ALL WERE U.S. Army Air Corps and Navy men shot down in air raids over Japan
The three men whose names were added to the list yesterday were crewmen of a B-29 bomber that was shot down July 2, 1945, on skis on Japan's southern island of Kvshuva.
The Foreign Ministry document said that
au three had been killed in the destruction of Hiroshima by a 20 kilton A-bomb on Aug. 6, 1945. It reported that their ashes were buried in U.S. occupation authorities on Dec. 7, 1945.
Ubaki said the records identified two of the men as Capt. Nelson and 1st Lt. Hayward. The name of the third was not known to his captors.
The Defense Department had always declined to comment on reports that American prisoners of war were among the victims of the Hiroshima attack.
A U.S. MILITARY survey after the war fired the death toll at 78,150. Hiroshima officials always have said that figure was low. In August 1977 a U.N. committee estimated the loss of life in the bombing at 140,000.
Hiroshima had no prisoner-of-war camps and did not get any POWs until late in the war, when the Japanese began shooting down American bombers raiding southern Japan. Japanese soldiers who guarded them said that the Americans were put in whatever detention facilities existed on Japanese military bases in the area.

Israel says peace talks will resume next week
JERUSALEM (UPI)—Irael said yesterday that because of U.S. mediation it was near agreement with Egypt on a statement of principles in Middle East peace talks, it was announced that Jordan's king Hussein might decide to join the peace talks.
Prime Minister Menachem Begin predicted that the adjourned military committee talks in Cairo would resume next week.
In Cairo, Egypt's president, Anwar Sadat, also expressed optimism for renewing the talks and said his dramatic peace initiative had taken Israel by surprise and Israel simply needed time to alter its old concepts.
Sadat also said he was in constant touch with President Jimmy Carter, "who fully realizes . . . the role the United States should, play in the establishment of
The optimistic statements, after days of pessimism because of the collapse of the
BEGIN SAID the Israeli cabinet would decide Sunday whether to send Weizman, who as defense minister heads the Israeli army and leads the military talks, back to Cairo next week.
Jerusalem foreign ministers' talks, came after a 90-minute meeting between Assistant Secretary of State Alfred Atherton, Begin, Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan and Defense Minister Ezer Weizman.
Dayan, who led the Israeli delegation at the collapsed political talks, said the two sides were near an agreement of a deal on principles on an overall peace settlement.
The declaration is the first item of business on the agenda for the Palestinian issue.
"I can assume that if nothing special happens then there is a possibility that the government will decide to send the president and his advisers to Cairo." Begin said.
