State Relief sought for inmates United Press International AUSTIN — Three members of the Board of Corrections, approved Tuesday for confirma tion by the Senate, told a subcom mittee that overcrowding is a problem that must be solved re gardless of any federal court orders.

One proposed solution to over crowding, community’based cor rections, received mixed re sponses from the three appoin tees, whose names will go to the Senate for confirmation. The appointees are Clifford F. Smith Jr. of Houston, Harry M. Whittington of Austin and H.B. Zachry Jr. of San Antonio. Asked about community-based corrections. Smith told the Nomi nations Subcommittee, “I am sup- S ortive of anything that would elp us relieve some of these over crowded conditions.” Whittington, however, pointed out that such programs take time to set up, are likely to run into community opposition and may be expensive. He suggested other solutions, including work release, transfer of retarded prisoners to other insti tutions and early release for some types of offenders. “Overcrowding is a serious problem not only for the health and conditions of the inmates but just for the fact of three people in a cell,” Zachry said. “We’ve got to get them off the floor. Overcrowd ing has been and continues to be out number one problem.” Charles Sullivan, executive director of Citizens United for Re habilitation of Errants, a prisoner advocacy group, told the subcom mittee that CURE supports the appointments of all three. All have served on the board at least since 1979. The subcommittee also approved the nomination for reap pointment of Lyndon Olson Jr. of Waco to the State Board of Insur- ance. Olson, 34, was first appointed to the board by former Gov. Dolph Briscoe. Herbert Snow Harris Jr., was approved for reappointment to the Industrial Accident Board. Harris said the board’s greatest problem is administering the Crime Victims Compensation Act. “For all practical purposes we’re out of money now and in deed in debt,” he said. “We’re going to get deeper and deeper in debt. ” Harris said that by the end of January, the board had processed $120,000 in claims for which there are no funds. Sen. Chet Brooks, D- ^Pasadena, said he and Sen. Peyton McKnight, D-Tyler, are co-spon- soring a bill to increase the amount of money available for compensat ing victims of crime. The bill would close some loopholes in col lection of court costs for the fund and would add a small fee col lected from persons convicted of Class C misdemeanors. The subcommittee also approved the nominations of Vit torio K. Argento, John Lindsey Blair and Jack D. Kilian to the Air Control Board.

H e said it would be a chance “to lend support to those policies uteh we can support but engage in a candid discussion of the proposed domestic cutbacks, which could have a harmful impact on the poor “We recognize there are significant philosophical differences.’ Bonilla continued, “but as Hispanics, we are determined to support those governmental policies which will promote greater employment and productivity in our nation.” ^l/afsntCnE \ ^J^ianzoncl JSjzEcL a£ Now through Valentine's Day take advantage of our tremendous inventory of loose diamonds in all shapes, sizes and qualities.
