OSSINING, N.Y. (AP) Corrections officials and inmate negotiators faced each other through steel bars today in talks aimed at freeing 17 guards held hostage after a "spontaneous" uprising at the maximum-security prison once known as Sing Sing. Face-to-face talks between five inmates and the members of a special hostage negotiation team began about 7:30 p.m. Sunday, nearly 24 hours after convicts armed with broom handles and night sticks took over the Cell Block at the state's Ossining Correctional Facility. All the hostages were reported safe, the rest of the prison was calm and there was only one minor injury, officials said.

Mario Cuomo, who had set up what an aide described as a "command post" at his New York Tom Atkins, an electrician, wired electrical outlets for food display new Sureway under construction City office 30 miles away, said today the inmates submitted "a list of requests" which he did not detail. The governor's statement was read by a spokesman, Peter Johnson, who said there would be no elaboration on the number or nature of the inmate requests. The prisoners' demands have never been made clear. "We believe the hostages have not been harmed," Cuomo said.
"Last night the inmates agreed to allow them to be fed." Negotiators did their bargaining over tables separated by a barred gateway in a narrow prison corridor. The state's team, established three years ago and not tested until now, was trying to persuade convicts to free the guards taken prisoner Saturday night.

State Sen. Ralph Marino said overcrowding "is one of the big gripes. They are just very uncomfortable in there." The prisoners also were asking for amnesty, he said. "Most of the inmates locked in there really don't want any part of this," Marino said. "Eighty percent want the hostages released immediately and returned to their cells." State corrections spokesman Lou Ganim said one reason for the unrest was prisoner "idleness." He said inmates held in that cellblock were awaiting transfer to other facilities and "don't have a lot of activities." Officials originally reported that this morning.
Contractor O. T. grocery may be open on January Ed Noble) Mining comment sought By BEN HALL City Editor State mining officials will host a meeting here Wednesday to hear public comment on Kentucky's newest package of reclamation projects using federal funds. The open meeting, scheduled for 7 p.m. on January 12, will be one of two held in coal mining areas, the state Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet said.
The other meeting is scheduled tomorrow in Hazard. The new reclamation projects package, which will be submitted to the federal Office of Surface Mining, is designed to reclaim the state's abandoned mine lands and to "control or abate" adverse effects of past coal-mining operations. Projects for work throughout the state are contained in the package, but most are generally located in the eastern and western sections o' the commonwealth. The reclamation funds will be funneled through the Department of the Interior's OSM and represent money from fees collected from Kentucky coal operators by the feds on each ton of coal produced in the state. The release of these funds, which have been accumulating since 1977, was one of the main reasons for the state's fight for primacy over the regulation of the coal industry within its borders.
