REBER Collegian Staff Writer Union and county negotiators Friday reached a tentative agreement ending the 25-day-old strike by Local 1731 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) at the Centre Crest Nursing Home in Bellefonte. The two.year contract, agreed on after 3 1 , hours of negotiations presided over by mediator Elwood Tobias, is subject to ratification by the Centre County commissioners and the 74 striking employees. The commissioners are expected to consider the matter at their regular weekly meeting today. Union spokesmen wouldn't say when they plan on polling their membership, but they are scheduled to meet on Wednesday. The terms of the agreement were not revealed pending ratification. Norman Fischer, County Com munity Services director, Israel to get WASHINGTON (UPI) Diplomatic sources said yesterday the United States will give Israel the controversial "aerosol bomb'' as well as an extra $3OO million this year. The Israeli ambassador said he had "no reason to doubt" the Carter administration will deliver the arms promised by former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Egyptian ambassador Ashraf Ghorbal warned the stepped-up U.S. aid "will not be helpful" in improving Arab-Israeli relations. After meeting with Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, Israeli ambassador Simcha Dinitz was asked whether all arms com mitments by the Ford administration will he honored, including the so-called "aerosol bomb." He replied: "I have no reason to doubt that all commitments will be carried out." Concerning reports from diplomatic sources that the new administration will grant Israel $3OO million more in aid than the previous administration had promised, Dinitz said, "I'm not at liberty to go into the exact numbers until the request has been sent to Congress." The Daily Collegian Tuesday, February 8,1977 commissioners cited managerial perogative as the reason for this. Previous talks had stalled because of disagreements over the schedule ,for wage in creases and the choice of insurance programs. Friday's session was initiated at the request of union officials. Shirley Gehret, president of Local 1731, said the agreement was the result of concessions made by both sides. She was op timistic about the chances of ratification by the members of the local. Fischer, who has been working to maintain the usual standards of patient care at the home since the strike reduced the staff by half, said plans have been made to begin contacting striking workers about their availability for work as soon as the com missioners accept the new. contract. Subject to this approval, he said, employees will be asked to begin reporting to work tomorrow. Not all aid, arms The Stale Department did not officially confirm the increased aid to Israel, but a spokesman said, "Our review of the Middle East package is completed, and the decision will be submitted to Congress." Diplomatic sources said the Tel Aviv government has already been informed the U.S. aid package for Israel in fiscal 1978 will be $l.B billion, up $3OO million from the $1.5 billion request the Ford administration sent to Capitol Hill as one of its last acts. The Israelis, who had asked for $2.3 billion, were disappointed at the decision and asked the new administration to reconsider. The sources said the Israelis have been informed the Carter administration stands behind • the Ford administration's com mitment on arms deliveries to Israel, in chiding the so-called "aerosol bomb" which has never before been sold to a foreign government. The bomb releases and then explodes a fuel-air mixture, destroying everything within an area of several hundred feet. The aid has to he approved by Congress before it is delivered. workers will return the same day, however, because of the nature of work scheduling at the home. The strike has brought forth angry accusations by both employees and of ficials concerning the conduct of each side. Shift changes at the nursing home have been marked by verbal and sometimes physical' confrontations between strikers and those who sought to assure unimpeded access to the institution for volunteer workers and non-striking employees. In light of the emotionally-charged at mosphere of the strike, the sheriff's department was called upon by Centre Crest management to provide officers during the shift changes. Now that a return to work by striking em ployees seems likely, spokesmen for both sides have expressed the hope that the reintegration of employees will proceed witljout incident.
