State Mental Hospitals’ Pay Scale Upped
Minimum Now Set - $90, Board Monthly
Indiana's mental health program advanced one more step today with establishment of a minimum pay scale of $80 a- month and maintenance for attendants in mental institutions.
The pay boost was announced by Dr. Charles A. Zeller, director of the Indiana Council for Mental Health. To many attendants, generally regarded as the most underpaid of all state employees, it represents an increase of 50 per cent in the cash portion of their pay. “We expect the new pay schedules to accomplish three things which the deplorably low salaries offered heretofore have not done,” Dr. Zeller said.
Reward for Service
“First, it will provide monetary | recognition for the splendid service which has been given by our better attendants. Then it will attract intelligent, capable men and women to “the state psychiatric service and] finally, it will attract enough of them so that incompetent attendants can be weeded out of state hospitals without endangering the safety and comfort of patients.”
The raises, approved by Governor | Gates after a series of conferences) between mental health officials, the! state personnel board and the; budget committee, will become effective Nov. 1 Dr. Zeller said. Dr.| Norman Beatty of Indianapolis is president of the mental health council. : Until the new pay raises were granted, many attendants in the state's eight mental institutions had been receiving as little as $60 a month plus board, room and| laundry. As recently as a year and a half ago. when The Times point-| ed out the serious deterioration in
the .state's care*of its mentally ill, |8ist; Dr. Arthur J. Jaffey, atomic scientist, and Prof. Hans Morgenthau,
some salaries were less than that. Still Understaffed
Despite all efforts to build up the staffs at the hospitals and schools for feeble minded, the institutions are still, without exception, understaffed.
The budget committee, under the new program, has allotted $270,000 to the personnel services fund of the mental institutions to finance the increases. It was indicated this allowance left a small margin for merit increases in other quarters but superintendents were warned to be !‘judicious” in distributing such raises. “The attendant is closer to the mental patient than any other person,” I Zeller pointed out. “His care and treatment of those in his ward are extremely important factors in determining whether the patient regains his mental health.”

Says NORMAN BEL GEDDES, Famous Industrial Designer
First editions, antiques and left-handed teacups interest some people as collectors’ ftems. I'm no collector, except when it comes to used fats. I've been reading how urgently every pound of used kitchen grease is still needed. The government says that the present world supply of fats and oils to make so many things we all need is only a little better than it was last year. The only extra source to depend on is America's kitchens, That's why I've turned collector—of used fats! Please, won't you keep saving apd turning them in?
