Urine the money A Miami-based company has announced plans to build a series of shiny, new public comfort stations around the Haitian capital of Port- Au-Prince to collect urine as part of a business venture.

Attorney General Frank Kelley yesterday cleared the way for the payments to Patrick McCollough and William Ralls with an opinion declaring that the state's new campaign funding law has all the legal language needed to pay out the money. DEPUTY STATE Treasurer Carroll Newton said with Kelley's go-ahead, the money will be released within the next few days. Newton said as a rule, the official paperwork needed for government checks can be completed within three or four days. The money, derived from a $2 check-. off system on the state income tax form, had been held up by Budget Director Gerald Miller. Ralls, a former Public Service Com- mission member, and McCollough, a state Senator, from Deaborn, claimed this was politically motivated, since Miller's boss, Gov. William Milliken, is a Republican. Jailed mother barred from seeing dying son MILLER ORDERED the payments to the two Democrats delayed pending an opinion from Kelley on whether the campaign finance law contained the proper legal language to allow. release of the funds. Miller said even though the law specificcaly provided for payment of. matching funds to qualified candidates, he thought the legislature might have to pass a separate appropriations bill to authorize the payment. The governor's office denied that politics were being played with the fund.

Ralls, McCollough and state Sen. William Fitzgerald all have passed the $50,000 ark, but verification of Fit- zgerald's claim has not yet been com- pleted by the Secretary of State's office. Ralls is supposed to get $122,746 and McCollough expects $115,062 from the state fund. Fitzgerald said that when his claim is verified, he will be getting about $185,000. If Kelley, a Democrat, had ruled against payment of the funds, the legislature would have had to pass a new law authorizing it and Milliken would have had to sign it. That process could have meant weeks or months and McCollough said such a delay would have seriously hampered the Democrat's campaigns. ut" CINCINNATI (AP) - A doctor and a priest say they are appalled a judge refused to allow a young mother out of jail to be with her 3-year-old son when he died. "I feel strongly that people in prison should be allowed to visit loved ones at the time of death," said the Rev. Thomas Eisentrout, Episco- pal chaplain at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, who was with Jamie Sloan when he died Wednesday from hepatitis. JOAN SLOAN, 23, the mother, re- mained in jail at the order of Fayette County Common Pleas Judge Evelyn Coffman. Sloan, convicted on a charge of trafficking in marijuana, was held at Washington Court House to testify in a related case. "We were told there is no sense in releasing her just so she can come down here to watch the kid die," complained Dr. Frederick Suchy, chief resident at the hospital. Judge Coffman said she "hesitated in the first place because, from her standpoint, I thought it would have been an inhumane thing for her to go down here and see her child in that condition." SLOAN WAS allowed to visit the boy, under guard, Wednesday morn- ing, but was returned to the jail-later. The hospital unsuccessfully sought to return the mother in the afternoon when the child took a turn for the worse, Suchy said. The judge said she was told "the baby had only an hour to live." She said the child would have died by the time the mother arrived. "It was a heartbreaking decision. I have never had to make a decision like that before," Judge Coffman said. Eisentrout said "in studying death, we have learned that if a mother is unable to see her child when he dies, it can cause serious psychological problems." Sloan was arrested with three other women Sept. 23, 1977. Police found a pisotl and 100 small bags of marijuana in their van. She was sentenced to 1 to 10 years in prison.
