Non-Educational Kansas Institutions Seek Raises
TOPEKA, Kan.—(UPI)—Enough money to grant pay raises to key personnel at some state institutions in Kansas in fiscal 1961 will be requested today by the department of Institutional Management.
Figures Released
Similar raises were recommended recently by the Governor's Advisory Council on Institutional Management in a conference with Gov. George Docking.
The Department's budget request for next year included 10 per cent salary increases for institutional emplores.
Dr. George Jackson, director of the department, released figures yesterday showing that State Budget Director James W. Bibb sliced those raises from his recommendations on what the department should be allowed to spend.
Bibb recommended that the department be given a total budget of $18,960,348, a decrease of $2,-081,436 from its request of $21,-041,784.
In salaries, Bibb recommended that the department be granted $1.567.776 less than it had asked.
Jackson said that when he appears at budget hearings today, he will not request that money for the 10 per cent across-the-board raises be restored.
Instead, he said, he will ask for raises of 10 per cent for two classes of psychiatrists, 15 per cent for section chiefs and clinical psychologists and social workers, and 20 per cent for nursing and aide personnel.
Those were the raises the Advisory Council recommended be granted on an emergency basis.
Docking said earlier today he had no plans at present to act on any of the council's recommendations. He said he did not feel the majority report represented the views of the entire Advisory Council.
No Total Estimate
Jackson did not estimate what the total amount of the raises would be, if they are allowed, but he guessed that the hikes for nursing and aide personnel alone would amount to about a half million dollars.
He emphasized, however, that even if the money for the raises is allowed, salaries cannot be increased because of frozen civil service pay scales.
The recommendations of the Advisory Council included giving new flexibility to the pay scales so that the employees could get the raises. That probably would have to be
done by the state Finance Council under the present governmental setup.
Docking Questions Council
Docking Questions Coun-
doring docket calls a Finance
Council meeting and has expressed
doubt on the constitutionality of
the council. He asked Atty. Gen.
John Anderson Jr., last week to
answer a set of questions on the
powers of the council.
Jackson said Bibb's recommendations for salaries included only part of the money necessary to grant limited pay raises which the Finance Council did set up recently. The council added two steps to the top of the civil service pay scale to allow wage hikes for employees already getting maximum pay.
The institutions director said he felt the budget division did not have complete enough information in figuring how much money was necessary for those raises.
Americans May Get Cuban Death Penalty
HAVANA, Cuba —(UPI)—A Cuban revolutionary tribunal trying two Americans on charges of conspiring against Premier Fidel Castro ended hearings today and retired to consider prosecution demands for the death penalty against one of them.
The prosecution asked death for Austin Young of Miami and 30 years in prison for British-born American Peter J. Lambton, who lives in the Bahamas, and 37 Cuban co-defendants. It charged them with belonging to an armed anti-government band.
Young and Lambton both have denied charges that they entered the country to organize resistance against Castro.
Difficult Case
The court recessed for at least 24 hours to consider its verdict, because it said it was dealing with a "very difficult case."
They told the court, meeting in an army post theater in the western Cuban town of Pinar Del Rio, that they came to Cuba as free-lance photographers. They said pictures showing them brandishing machine guns were jokes for the folks back home.
To Interview Anti-Castro Cubans Lambton presented documents showing that he was assigned to go to Cuba by an agency called Independent Press to interview and photograph Cubans opposed to Castro. Young made the same defense but had no documents.
"I think it impossible to consider me the chief of any counter-revolutionary plot in a country where I don't speak the language," Young told the court today.
Tuesday, Dec. 1, 1959
A third American, Cuban-born Raphael Delpino, was scheduled to face a revolutionary tribunal sitting in Havana later in the day.

School May Ask Iranian to Drop
A few minutes spent with the head of our campus unit will bring to light the many advantages of a career in life insurance sales. Take the time now to look into the possibilities.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — (UPI)— Youngstown University officials today studied the attendance record of Farah Adjoodani, 17, son of an Iranian diplomat, to determine whether to ask him to withdraw the rest of the semester.

Dean J. D. Smith said, however, the University planned no action in connection with an incident in Washington over the weekend in which the youth allegedly slapped his high school girl friend and fired two blanks from a pistol during an argument.
Dean Smith said the first semester engineering freshman was absent from his classes yesterday.

Adjoodani was spared possible assault charges by Washington authorities because of his political immunity.
The Washington incident marked the second time in recent weeks that a diplomat's son, under political immunity, has been spared criminal action.
Earlier, David Hearne, 21, son of Irish Ambassador John J. Hearne, was not charged after his car struck and killed a woman in a Washington suburb.

College Student Has 'Fixed' Quiz
MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (UPI)—A Wesleyan University student received from his mother a self-adressed return envelope with a "quiz." She asked him to check "yes" or "no" to such statements as:
I am keeping up to par with my studies; I am keeping in good health; I received the package; I have had my hair cut since I left home; I will try to take 10 or 15 minutes each week to write home.
