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.”

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.

— have resulted in lending institu
tions being unable to make home
mortgage loans.
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.
