SIXTEEN MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL THIBUNE Tuesday. May 8, 1952 Oregon Penitentiary Administration Hit For High Food Budget Salem (U.R) State Sen. Dean Walker, Independence, has ques tioned the state penitentiary ad ministration for spending more money than piovidcd In the budget for feeding its prisoners. The State Emergency Board was-asked to approve $183,000 from the governor's emergency fund, the major part of which was to cover a $70,000 deficit in food costs, and to cover purchase of beef for the convicts during the rest of the current biennium. Incrsas.d Year Ago Said Sen, Walker to Col. Wil liam Ryan, director of institu tions; George Alexander, prison superintendent, and Virgil O'Malley, warden: "You were given an increased food budget by the Legislature just about a year ago, and almost immediately you began to spend more money than the budget pro vided. Don't you know that it is against the law to run up a de ficit without approval?" Ryan told the emergency board that the increased food budget had been adopted at a time when there was unrest at the prison and it had been im possible for authorities to cut back the menus. Priionsri Fed Bettar State Rep. Rudie Wilhclm, Portland, wanted to know: "How do the meals at the peni tentiary slack up with the meals the which the average citizen can afford these days?" Alexander replied: "Well, I think the prisoners get better food than the prison guards." Warden O'Malley said meals at the prison are of solute minimum quantity. there are no luxury items." The board took the matter un der advisement. It also took under advisement a request from Dr. Irvin Hill, superintendent of Fairview home for mentally deficient, for $163,693 for alterations to build ings at the institution to take care of the most urgent cases of the 170 children now on the .home's waiting list. Dr. Earl B. Stewart, Roseburg, chairman of the State Fair Com mission, told the board the state fire marshal had condemned the stadium where the horse shows arc held asa major feature of the State Fair.
