The opinion prevails among employes who have been associated with the institution for more than 3 or 4 years that it is the present aim 'of management to rid itself of all the older employes. Numbers of employes have been separated from the service by resignations forced upon them through working conditions made intolerable. Employe structure is top-heavy. The administration has brought in an inordinately large number of persons in the higher-salaried brackets. "Since a program designed to rehabilitate persons suffering from mental disorders or mental deficiency must proceed experimentally, this policy of over-staffing the institution has been so far out of step with developing practice that a vast amount of intrigue has been fostered thereby; in other words, various members of departments and various departments are now jockeying for power within the institution.

"THERE HAS been a great deal of dissatisfaction with the prevailing methods of in-service training. This training is in charge of people who have had little or no practical experience with mental deficients, nor with the mentally ill. The result is that the training they do receive is inadequate and inapplicable to the duties of the wards." Dr. Porter, answering the charges, made these statements: "There are no discharges from this institution on a quota basis because there are no quotas at Eldridge. Dr.

Tallman is now holding with Richard Rummage. Sacramento representative of the CSEU, on this question and many others. We do not provide any patients with pocket money and send them out to find jobs, as charged. "In regard to the charge that there is insufficient clothing for patients, we are allowed $30 per year per patient and I believe we provide adequate clothing out of this fund. Schulze At S.F.
