U.S. to send broadcasts to Cuba

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Reagan
administration, accusing the Cuban
government of lying to its citizens, said
it will set up a new broadcast station
patterned after Radio Free Europe to
transmit programs challenging
Havana's version of the news.
Richard Allen, national security ad-
viser to President Reagan, said Cuban
media "have lied throughout the two
decades of the revolution, they lie
today, and will continue to lie to the
Cuban people."
The programs, beamed in Spanish,
will contain political commentary as
well as nes and entertainment features.
THE PROGRAMS will contain in-
formation such as how many Cubans
have been killed in Angola, and will be
used to counter Havana's claim that
the United States is responsible for an
outbreak of dengue fever in Cuba and

movement.
"The administration has decided to
break the Cuban government's control
of information in Cuba," Allen said.
"This radio service will tell the truth to
the Cuban people about their gover-
nment's domestic mismanagement and
its promotion of subversion and inter-
national terrorism in this hemisphere
and elsewhere."
A senior U.S. official, who declined to
be named, said the United States
readily expects Cuban President Fidel
Castro to brand the radio system as a
propaganda tool of the American
government.

has sabotaged the Cuban economy, of-
ficials said.
The administration hopes to have the
new station on the air by next January.
Officials said it will have an initial
operating budget of up to $10 million.
The facilities' studios and transmit-

ters are expected to be located in
Florida, although details have not been
decided yet, officials said.
They said it probably will operate
from dawn to dusk and will be called
"Radio Marti," after Jose Marti, the
father of the Cuban independence

In a harsh attack on Castro's gover-
nment, Allen said "the Cuban people
have been controlled and manipulated'
by a totalitatian Marxist-Leninist dic-
tatorship dedicated to promoting ar-
med violence and undermining the in-
terests of the Free World."

Study cites nursing home flaws

From AP and UPI
BOSTON- Nursing home patients
are frequently afflicted with bedsores
and other infections, partly because the
staffs turn over at a high rate and pay
too little attention to hygiene, a study
concludes.
Researchers who surveyed nursing
home patients found that 16 percent suf-
fer some kind of infection and said at
least part of this disease can be blamed
on the care they receive.
WRITING IN today's New England
Journal of Medicine, the researchers
urged that guidelines be established to
prevent outbreaks of infection and the
misery they cause.
But infections may be spread rapidly
in nursing homes because residents live
in a closed environment and often are
handled by workers who have "limited

professional training," said Dr.
Richard Garibaldi.
"There is a reasonably impressive
rate of infection among nursing home
patients, and the infections seem to
have a cluster pattern," Garibaldi said.
ABOUT 5 percent of all Americans
j over 65 live in nursing homes. In a jour-
nal editorial, Dr. Jerry Avorn of Har-
vard Medical School noted that more
Americans are confined to nursing
homes than to hospitals and wrote, "In
many of them, little real nursing ac-
tually goes on, and they're nothing at
all like home."
Dr. Garibaldi and two nurses from
the University of Utah College of
Medicine surveyed seven "skilled-
care" nursing homes in Salt Lake City
that housed 532 elderly patients.
Though they studied homes in only

one city, the researchers doubted that
what they saw "represents a unique or
unusual experience."
THEY FOUND that 6 percent of
patients had infected bedsores, 3 per-
cent had conjunctivitis, 3 percent had
urinary tract infections, 2 percent had
lower respiratory tract infections and 1
percent had diarrhea.
Other studies found similar rates of:
lower respiratory tract and urinary in-
fections in hospitals. But the rates for:
diarrhea, conjunctivitis and skin infec-
tions were higher in the nursing homes.
HE SAID IN an interview that thel
"general level of -care seemed to be
reasonably good. I think it's much more
subtle than obvious how diseases area
transmitted."
Among the problems the researchers
found in the nursing homes:
" Turnover in non-professional staff
was almost 100 percent during the three
months before the survey and 30 per-
cent of the nurses also left. This "helps
create an atmosphere of
disorganization and confusion about in-
fection-control issues."
" None of the homes systematically
surveyed for infection, routinely
monitored patient care practices or
held regular infection-control training.
" Infections broke out in clusters. Nine
percent of patients in one home had up-
per respiratory tract infections and 10
percent in another had diarrhea.
" Six homes discouraged workers from
calling in sick by refusing to pay wages
during the first three days of their sick
leave.
" In two homes, urinary catheters and
drainage bags were changed only if
they were obstructed or if a doctor or-
dered a change.
The researchers noted that the age
and condition of many patients may
have increased their risk of catching in-
fections. At least 40 percent had brain
or heart disease'and many were unable
to control their bladders or bowels.
