Pink paint job cuts jail fights in California United Press International SAN JOSE — A police officer at the Santa Clara County jail credits a pink paint job in one of the holding cells with reducing the number of fights in the unit by about one third. Capt. Mike Miller said he has found that pink has a “calming influ ence” on the prisoners. Miller said he was so impressed with the color theory that he has started replacing the cells’ tradition al green with a subdued yellow, which he says is even better than pink, because its tranquilizing effect lasts longer. He said green is “bad for manic depressives. ” Miller got the color idea from Ray Clark, a former probation officer who now conducts a seminar called “Body Chemistry and Offender Be havior.” n ITilf tJATTAUOM Paged TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1979 ‘soooeooooooooocooeooooooo Banker: mortgage rate should be at 18 percent AIAA PRESENTS: SPACE SHUTTLE GET AWAY SPECIAL COMPETITION Speakers: Ernest R.

United Press International AUSTIN, Texas — A Texas Sav ings and Loan League spokesman suggested Monday that Texas’ in terest ceiling for home mortgage loans be put at 18 percent to avoid recurrences of the credit crunch that has reduced home loans by almost one-third this year. Durward Curlee, chief lobbyist for the savings and loan industry, said the state’s current maximum of 12 percent interest on home mort gage loans — and the 11.25 percent interest ceiling in effect this month Union strike causes Hawaii trash buildup United Press International HONOLULU - Tourists are seeing a dirty side of Hawaii — piles of garbage everywhere because of a three-week strike by 7,700 govern ment blue-collar workers. The state’s airports, beaches, parks, streets and public places are a mess. Only in remote areas of the islands is the view unsullied by over flowing trash cans and huge plastic bundles of dry garbage. Wet garbage has not yet become a problem because private refuse companies handle most of the hotel and residential collections. The mess was so bad in Hawaii’s 228 public schools that the state closed them. The University of Hawaii, community colleges and pri vate schools were not affected. The strike by Unit 1 of the United Public Workers union began on Oct. 22. Last week, negotiators con ducted intense meetings, but they were recessed for the weekend by the mediator to give both sides a rest. The strike is over money, and the union said the monthly wage of the janitors, custodians, refuse collec tors, food servers and practical nurses of its Unit 1 membership av erage about $840 a month. It deman ded pay increases of $290 a month, spread over the two-year contract. The state and county negotiators replied the workers are already get ting an additional 55 percent in such Ifinge benefits as dental, health, hos pitalization and pension benefits. They offered $180 a month in pay hikes during the two-year contract. -uour reUvivorv^hi-p..

Curlee said the institutions are having to pay 12.5 percent to obtain mortgage money, and cannot relend it at a lower rate of interest. Rep. Stan Schlueter, D-Salado, suggested removing the interest ceiling on home mortgage loans, but Curlee said the state’s constitution requires a fixed ceiling. “My personal opinion, and the league hasn’t taken a position on this, is that we should put everything at something like 18 percent so ev erybody would know the nature of the ball game,” Curlee said. “Eighteen percent covers a broad spectrum of lending right now.” Curlee said corporate loans, credit card purchases and mortgage loans of more than $250,000 all now have an 18 percent interest ceiling. Texas’ ceiling historically had been 10 percent on home mortgage loans, but the Legislature in May revised that cap, allowing the in terest ceiling to be fixed up to a max imum of 12 percent. “When the new rate ceiling went into effect, we came very close to having our interest ceiling meet the national mortgage rate for one month,” Curlee said. “The next month the national rate jumped up. ” Curlee presented the House Financial Institutions Committee with statistics showing single-family home mortgage lending in Texas has dropped 29.4 percent in the first eight months of this year, compared to a decline of only 3.8 percent nationwide.
