(Montana Tech Suspect wi i w.iip'v. lira inmate moved from KIM UNGERMAN Boys Nation alternate Lyons acquitted in drug death JONES COOK HUNT SCOTT ft DEER LODGE, Mont AP) Montana State Prison Warden Roger Crist said Saturday be had ordered a prisoner transferred to the Powell County Jail in the wake of an attack which left the prison's band director hospitalized with severe head injuries. Crist said the prisoner was a suspect in the bludgeoning of Allen Edgmond, 29, who was nearly killed by an inmate wielding a rock slung inside the toe of a sock.

The attack prompted Crist to say on Friday he would have to reassess the institution's recreation programs. No charges have been filed in the incident Crist said officials hoped Edgmond would regain consciousness and be able to identify the" assailant Edgmond, beaten Thursday evening, was still unconscious and in critical condition 48 hours later. The warden said the administrative agreement to transfer the prisoner was not totally for the inmate's protection. Crist admitted other prisoners had threatened to kill the assailant when his identity becomes known. "There is some strong feeling among the inmates about any-, one who would stoop so low as to beat a 135-pound man," Crist said.

He said the transferred prisoner had been sentenced in the state of Nevada to five years for burglary. The man was transferred to Montana from the Nevada State Prison at Carson City following an assault on another inmate, Crist said. He said the Edgmond-beatlng suspect also had attacked two corrections officers in a California institution. Crist described the prisoner as weighing about 150 pounds, short in stature, but extremely strong.

'Spending cash' Xfa- dpcrriniinn oescnfJIIOfl The American consumer disposable personal Income, adjusted for price increases, dropped last year for the first time in almost 25 years, according to the National Consumer Finance Association. The Washington, D.C-based information center blames high taxes and Inflation for the decline. Disposable personal income, adjusted for price increases, fell 2.6 per cent In 1974, although total personal income rose 9 per cent to $1,150.4 billion, the association says in its June journal.

State and local and federal income taxes rose 266 per cent and 170 per cent during the decade. Today's dollar buys less than half what it did in 1949, the association contends.

"Federal and state legislation regulating political campaign activities alone will not resolve these problems. The political party must assume some of the' responsibility. "It should be recognized that the final answer lies in the integrity of the individuals and party Involved," Koehnke added. He said the proposal also was in response to the overwhelming belief in this country that "most political campaigns are crooked." Koehnke said to re-establish the credibility of the political system, controls and accountability must begin with the political party. "I believe that a fiscal audit similar to those performed by the accounting profession for nonprofit institutions can and should be made of all major Montana Democratic campaigns in 1976 and thereafter," he said.

To go into effect, such an audit rule must receive support from two-thirds of the delegates present at the weekend convention. The meeting was called to adopt new rules for selecting delegates to the 1976 Democratic National Convention and related business.
