2-- Chillicothe v. today Prison escape BEACON, N.Y. (AP) Ten unarmed but dangerous prison inmates cut through bars on a window and escaped from the Matteawan State Hospital for the mentally ill today. Two were later captured. "We would request people to be on the lookout and be advised that they are dangerous and that they are around and about," said state Trooper John 0'Connell.
One inmate, who reportedly once shot a police officer, was described as particularly dangerous. The inmates escaped about 3 a.m. from the hospital, which is part of the Fishkill Correctional Facility. Roadblocks were set up throughout Dutchess County in the Hudson Valley section of the state about 70 miles north of New York City. All available police units were combing the area.
It was not known whether the inmates were wearing civilian clothes or the green fatigue prison garb. A short time after the escape, troopers said Andrew Irvine was found hiding on the prison grounds. Another inmate, Robert O'Connor, was captured within a mile of the facility. Troopers said they did not believe any of the inmates were armed. The administration of Matteawan was recently transferred from the state Department of Correctional Services to the state Department of Mental Hygiene.

Murphy Friday told stockholders, at the an annual meeting in Detroit, a second shift will be added at the Lordstown GM plant. It will add production of the Buick Skyhawk and Oldsmobile Starfire to the current turnout of Chevrolet Monzas and Pontiac Sunbirds at the plant. Jack Roberts, public relations director at Lordstown, said the production of all four models will begin on the current shift August 22, with a second shift gearing up October 17. He said each shift will turn out 70 units per hour. The second shift will mean the return of some 1,600 workers from among about 2,300 persons laid off in March, 1976.
He said this latest call back will mean "almost all" those originally laid off will be back at work. The plant currently employs 6,700 persons.

Ford, be the sole basis for negotiating SALT II. The Soviets also demanded the cruise missile be included in the ceiling but not the Backfire, which they claim cannot reach U.S.
territory from the Soviet Union. Sources said the compromise would probably involve a 10-15 per cent reduction in the ceiling from Vladivostok, counting some cruise missles against the American total. In return, the Soviets would agree to station their Backfires so they would not be within easy range of the United States. Strip mine for a formula to compensate surface owners. In a marathon, 13-hour session Friday, the Senate also rejected an adminstration-backed amendment to ban strip mining on environmentally fragile western valley floors that contain about 3 per cent of the nation's coal reserves that can be strip mined.
But in one of the few moves backed by environmentalists, it approved an amendment to make especially difficult strip mining on prime farmlands.

Strip mining, in which topsoil and rock are stripped away with heavy machinery to get underlying coal seams, now accounts for 60 per cent of U.S. coal production. It is likely to represent an even greater percentage if the administration's goal of increasing coal production by two-thirds, to more than a billion tons a year by 1985, is to be met.
Strip mine controls, which have been before Congress in some form since 1971, would establish national standards to prevent further envirnomental degradation from such mining. The legislation would also impose a tax of up to 35 cents a ton on coal to pay for cleaning up past strip mining abuses that still scar the landscape. And it would generally require strip mining companies to return land to its "approximate original contours" after mining. However, the Senate adopted an amendment by Sen. Wendell Ford, that would waive this requirement for coal companies if they could demonstrate a better use for the land after mining.
Ford said that, because flat land is at a premium in eastern Kentucky and in other hilly Appalachian regions, restoring the contour of the land after mining isn't always desirable. He said the flat strips of land left behind by strip miners can sometimes be used for constructing housing developments, nursing homes and other projects.
