Officials Told: Atomic Plant Could Deliver Fresh Water By SAM KATZ WATERFORD Department of Interior officials Tuesday ex pressed "great interest" in add ing desalimzation facilities to the new nuclear power plant to be built on Millstone Point. Democratic first selectman candidate Jack Newman reported thi-s on his return home from an all-day trip to the Capital and talks with high Newman also scored the town's Republican administra tion, saying that the journey proved conclusively that Water ford is no taking advantage of available federal funds for its proposed water and sewer pro jects. "There's much more money to be gotten," said Newman, "but it is all too apparent that the Republicans are simply too lazy or too unimaginative to find out bow to get it." Newman met in the office of U.S. Rep.

William L. St. Onge (D-2nd Dist.) Besides the con gressman, present were Allen Cywin, assistant commissioner of the Community Facilities Administration; Robert Nelson, deputy assistant secretary of the Dept. of the Interior's Office a of Saline Water, and another representative from that agency. Newman said Nelson told him that federal funds in the form of interest-free loans are available for the proposed water and sewer projects.

Cywin told him his office is anxious to talk to town officials about the desalinization plant to bring fresh water into Water-ford on a large scale from the atomic power plant. Water for the plant's system will be drawn from Long island Sound. State Man Named Budget Bureau Aide WASHINGTON (fl Presi dent Johnson Tuesday named Charles J.

Stamford Fire Victim Identified STAMFORD (UPI)-Stamford police Tuesday identified the body of a man found Monday night in the debris of a fire at one of the largest buildings in the downtown area. Police said the victim was Ernest Strain, 55, of no certain address. He was thought to have relatives in Greenwich. Acting Fire Chief Charles Mc- Redmon said his men searched the rubble Tuesday for the body of a second man who was re portedly with Strain.

Third Man McRedmond said a third man had gone to buy a bottle of wine to store with his two companions. He found the building enveloped in flames when he returned. McRedmond said a second body was not found but in dicated the searchers were restrained in their task by weak floors on the upper two storys. Investigators said that for a brief period Monday night the fire atthe Quintard Building threatened the entire downtown area. Approximately 12 stores were on the first floor of the building and offices occupied the upper floors.

Two Firemen Hurt Two firemen were injured while battling the blaze. They were Robert Callahan, 38, and Robert Hennessey, 28. Callahan was admitted to St. Joseph's Hospital with a fractured ankle and Hennessey was released after treatment of minor in juries. McRedmond said damage was estimated at $250,000.

He said the building was in a renewal area and probably would not be rebuilt. The cause of the fire was still under investigation. A. J. Carbo Dies; Was Nurseryman MIDDLETOWN (Special) Anthonv J.

Insurance Spokesmen At the morning briefing by the insurance industry, Travelers was represented by Sterling T. Tooker, president; William N.

Seary, vice president of the group department, and Dr. Albert L. Larson, vice president and medical director. Aetna spokesmen were President John A. Hill, group Vice President Daniel W.

The HEW has urged all hos-pitals to make their choice of By DAVID H. RfflNELANDER The city's three private hospi tals have agreed to nominate Hartford's two largest insurance companies as their administrative intermediaries in the Medicare program. Having bid successfully for the local hospitals, the Travelers Insurance Cos. and the Aetna Life and Casualty Co. Tuesday gave a sales talk to the trustees of the Connecticut Hospital Assn.

(CHA) and representatives of the group's 54 member instititutions. The insurance companies are vying with Blue Cross in the state and across the country to become the administrative dispensing agent between the physicians and hospitals on the one hand and the Federal Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) on the other. Blue Cross in Lead Blue Cross has a sizable national lead over private compa nies in the competition to become the Medicare agent responsible for dispensing federal payments, auditing hospital and physician charges, and representing the medical profession before HEW as the detailed rules and regulations of Medi care are drafted. The agents will also advise hospitals about the Medicare eligibility of those applying for treatment. HEW hopes to set up a computer center in Baltimore.

Md. that will be able to confirm eligibility of anyone ap plying within 24 hours. The ad ministrative intermediary will be responsible for making these checks. At Tuesday's meeting in New Haven at CHA headquarters, Travelers and Aetna put in their pitch in the morning and Blue Cross officials spoke in the afternoon. -Agreement Reported Mt.

Sinai, St. Francis and Hartford hospitals reportedly have agreed to nominate Tra velers and Aetna as agents. Although no confirmation was available it appears that Aetna will administer the Hartford Hospital program and Travel ers, and other two hospitals. Under the Medicare legisla tion, hospitals are free to nom inate agents for confirmation by HEW. The American Hospital Assn.

has recommended to all its members that Blue Cross be chosen as agent. About half the hospitals in Connecticut, according to CHA president Atty. Lewis E. Caplin, already have picked Connecticut Blue Cross as agent. About 72 per cent of Connecticut's over-65 population is now covered by Blue Cross.

The insurance companies, originally vocal opponents to any Medicare legislation, have now decided to seek some role in the program. Travelers and Aetna are leading the industry's push in this area and senior officials from both firms have been criss-crossing the country lately trying to sell themselves as agents. An Important Role For the companies, the position of agent will be important because the approved agents will sit in on the development and control of Medicare. The agents will be able to charge only administrative fees. But having a role In Medicare may offset some of the huge client Ban on Lawn Sprinkling Lifted By Water Bureau agent as soon as possible and also invited all agents interested in participating in the Part (physician coverage for $3 a month) to apply soon.

McCormick, Water Bureau chairman.

The ban of 18 weeks was the longest in the MDC's 35-year history for a voluntary restric tion on lawn sprinkling by users in the 10 communities with MDC water. McCormick said the MDC was gratified by "the splendid co operation given by MDC users during the period." He said the MDC currently has some 20 billion gallons in its two major reservoirs.
