Gov. Craig Defends Record High Budget Enlists Support Os Reorganization Plan INDIANAPOLIS'UP -Governor Craig pointed to two “sore spots” —mental hospitals and prisons—today in defending a: record high budget and enlisting, support for hise reorganization plans. “Indiana is kind of run down at the heels” in those two categories, he told an Indiana Republican editorial association dinner Thursday night. He said the state’s mental system ’<hsfe • failed” and 14,000 patients are being “mistreated by neglect.” The penal system, he said, is “held up to ridicule . . . it’s a system of incarceration and punishment, not a system of correction.” ■ I y Craig added his “realignment” proposals do not constitute a “power grab." “I am not seeking additional authority.” he said “Responsibility already is fixed by statute and the constitution. All I ask is the ability and of discharging that responsibility.” By lowest estimate,, he said, 55 more doctors are needed at mental institutions and adequate staffs at the hospitals cap effect a cure of 40 per cent of the patients. He said release of patients would be to the state’s economic advantage. \He said prisoners should be educated, rehabilitated, and freed oh scientific standards by permanent parole boards free of politics. ’ As for the cost of such reorganization, Craig said “there’s no use sitting back with a lot of money in the treasury and have people suffering.” He also said he could find no appropriation in the budget which wasn’t “absolutely necessary.” A questioner asked the propriety of legislators voting' themselves 310 per day expenses. Craig said •

Slow Construction At Atomic Plants Labor Disputes In Five Installations By UNITED PRESS Labor disputes halted or slowed construction at five atomic energy Installations in the United States during the last six weeks. Two strikes—at Joppa, 111., and Portsmouth, O.—were still in progress today. But unibn leaders expressed hope for early settlement of the •strike which started Jan. 19 at the Joppa steam electric About 200 members of the AFL carpenters and millwrights union walked off their jobs in a dispute with AFL electricians about whose j members should assemble a generator. • All of the 3,500 workers at the project, whidh will supply power to the Paducah, Ky., atomic 'energy plant, were kept from their, jobs by. the millwrights’ picket line. Representatives of both unions met Thursday and said they hoped to complete an agreement which would permit work resumption soon.l . \ At Portsmouth, about 50 electricians have stayed away from work for two weeks in a dispute over demands for gravel pay. The electricians, part of the construction crew erecting buildings' for the Pike county atom bomb plant, said. some members had to travel 15 to 20 miles to their jobs. They charged other craft unions were getting travel pay. * But full construction resumed Thursday at the 3464,000,000 atomic bomb plant at Oak Ridge, Tenn., when 300 striking AFL operating engineers ended a four-day walkout. The engineers called the strike after they were refused permission to place attendants on automatic pumps used to drain water from low-lying places in the project area. A brief work stoppage, the 60th so far, at the billion-dollar atomic energy plant near Paducah,' Ky., ended Wednesday when the union i agreed to arbitration. About 80k teamsters, chauffeurs and warehousemen sought to organize payroll and material checkers, store clerks and material expediters'. At the West Milton. N. Y., plari| of the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory. 65 workers returned to their jobs Dec. 26 pending national labor relations board arbitration of a Jurisdictional dispute. The plant, which remained open during the three-day walkout, la building facilities for testing an atomic submarine engine. : ) 1 Crime Commission Winds Up Hearings Ryan Summoned By Crime Commission \ NEW YORK UP — AFL Longshore President Joseph Pl Ryan : W.as called to answer in public for the crimes of his racket-ridden union today as the final day of a marathon hearing of the state crime commission. Ryan as scheduled to be the 187th and final witness in the commission's 20th day of public hearing on water front crime and corruption. He testifies as soon as commission special counsel Theodore Kiendl puts the finishing “touches on questioning of multimilionaire William J. McCormack. Rian’s good friend and self-styled /‘Little man’s port authority,” who f spent two and one-half hours on the' witness stand Thursday. •today's filial session was expected to run past its usual 4 or 4:30 p.m. adjournment and into the evening if necessary. \lt will climax the commission’s sordid picture of the nation’s greatest port-•*-its gangsterism, its intimidation, and its boss rule. 1 (McCormack's most sensational testimony Thursday was his flat denial that he had shaken down' late fight promoter Tex Richard for 25 per cent of the >gate of the 1923 Dempsey-Flrpo fight. McCormack at the time was license commissioner for the state athletic commission under appointment of the late Gov. Alfred IE. Smith, who had once been chairman of the board of a McCormack trucking enterprise. it McCormack described as “an aleholic’s dream” the story, implied by Kiendl’s questions, that he had handed back 331.500 in cash to Magistrate Franlcis X. McQuade and had been forced by Smith to design his post, i J The commission showed that dearly 31,000,000 of unaccounted - for'cash had been drawn from McCormack’s corporations in the last five years and that vouchers to coVer them had disappeared. McCormack denied he had Ordered twd former employes to burn the records in stealth. The ’commission began public hearings into the long—festering waterfront situation last Dec. 3, adjourned for the year-end holidays, and resumed two weeks ago. SM ? . i ; I • ,

Fights Deportation Order For Soldier Faces Execution By Communists CAMP CARSON, Coho. UP — An Army lieutenant said • he was ready today to fight an order would deport a wounded Korean veteran to his native Poland where he faces possible Communist execution. Lt|. Charles W. Brooks of the 11th armored cavalry said Thursday night that Sgt, Janusz Clucinski, a fugitive from tied Poland who was imprisoned by the Russians during,' World War II for undergroun4 activity, Should be made an American citizen. Instead, Brooks said, Clucinski has been ordered discharged from the army, into which was drafted, and deported to Poland. A Communist death 'penalty awaits Clucinski if this happens, Brooks said. And he quoted the sergeant: “If I have to die, I’d rather be shot in this country than to die over there.” / 1 Brooks, a reserve officer „ from Roodhouse, 111., was hopping mad when he‘told of Clucinski’s plight) “I think th& senate should investigate this,’! Brooks said. “This man should be made an American citizen. He is under a death penalty if they send him back to Poland. ’He has an outstanding- record in the last war. He was fighting against the Russians in Poland when he was only 15. And he Was wounded under rather heroic circumstances in Korea.” • Brooks said he! had no authority to speak for the army, and was championing Clucinski’s cause out of personal conviction that an injustice* is in the offing. Brocks did not make it clear\ the Polish sergeant was being deported for illegal ehtry to the U. S. or some other offense affectihg an alien. ' Clucinski jumped a Polish ship at New York in January*, 1950 and turned himself in to Newark, N. J., immigration authorities, Brboks said, but was allowed to remain ih this country. His army serial number indicates that later he was drafted somewhere on the' east coast. x Trade In a Good Town-—Deeaturl
