2--Raleigh Rcgisicr. Beckley, W. Friday Afternoon, May.17.1963 Book-Binding Program At State Penitentiary Stirs Up Criticism CARLO J. SALZANO CHARLESTON (UPI) State, Public Institutions Commissioner' Chauncey Jr. has encountered mild-to-stiff opposition in his efforts to establish book-binding' facilities; at Mounds- villc Penitentiary.

Most of the opposition a voiced by the West Virginia Library Association and Miss Virginia Bpber, supervisor of library services for the State Department of Education. The West Virginia Library Commission doesnV appear too keen oh the idea either but seems to prefer not to become directly involved in the controversy. Browning proceeded with his plan following adoption by the 1963 Legislature of a resolution asking that he look into the feasibility of establishing book-binding in Prison Industries. Along putting some of the idle prisoners to work, Browning contends that the facility would save school and public libraries money by having their books rebound by the prisoners. "But most, of the objections seem to be that the prisoners could not do as professional a job as a commercial book binder," Miss Dober, who said she had prison book-bind- ng while working in Virginia and orth Carolina, said she told Browning she was "not too wild about the idea." "If I had a choice, I would Lake a professional binder all the time," Miss Dober said.

"Most prisoners don't have too good an put wrong- titles on misspell words." Miss Dober conceded that professional binders make mistakes too "but you stand many, many more chances of having a binding job botched by a prisoner." "I would suggest Mr. Browning start a working industry instead," Miss Dober said. Both Miss Dober and Miss Jane Brugger, president of the association, thought such an industry might be all right for-school textbooks. But a-library, particularly one in a college or university, would not use the service, they added. "The association feels it will no! pay the commissioner to go ahead with the project," said Miss Brugger, catalog librarian at Marshall University.

"He will lose Miss Brugger said that when he idea first came up in 1955, here was much correspondence on the subject with other, states. She a i the correspondence showed that states which had ried" it "found that it was not successful." Miss Brugger said the associa- ion adopted a resolution-in Feb- asking Browning to delay action the proposal, pending urther study, "but the measure assed through the Legislature efore he received the resolution and before we. even- was coming." "I appreciate Mr. Browning's concern for the prisoners and his desire to find work for them, but I feel they should be given something else to do," Miss Brugger said. Despite the opposition, Browning said he planned to go ahead with his plan.

The commissioner, said a contract for about $80,000 worth of equipment currently is under study by his department and the state attorney general's office. After the contract gets its final okay from.the state attorney general's office, Browning said he plans to meet again with association and others concerned in an effort to iron out difficulties. And Step Taken To Get Research Plant Here WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.

said Thursday he successfully amended the Department of Interior's 1964 budget to include an additional $1,729,500. Byrd, a member of the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on interior and related agencies, said the amendment added $1 million for the Office of Coal Research to develop a pilot plant for research into coal gasification. The; senator told' the subcommittee the plant "may be placed under construction in the Beckley, W. area sometime early in 1964. and may be operational by the end of that year." Byrd said he also was successful in adding a $138,000 appropriation to the U.

S. Bureau of Fisheries and Wildlife for the rehabilitation of the White Springs national fish hatchery and $30,000 to establish a fishery management project in the.Elkins area. Byrd said other amendments for the Interior's forest service during fiscal 1964-would: --Add $300,000 to the budget request for the Princeton Forest Products Laboratory. --Add a $200,000 initial appropriation to be used to acquire about 550,000 additional acres for Monongahela National Forest in eight West Virginia-Counties. --Include for preliminary planning of a forestry sciences laboratory proposed West Virginia University.

The senator told fellow subcommittee members that "by locating- the laboratory at West Virginia University, U. S. Forest Service scientists and engineers could advantageously undertake cooperative research programs i the University's Good News And Bad; U.S. Economy Is Perking Up WASHINGTON' (UPD-The nation's economy showed signs of kicking up its heels today but the good news was partially blunted by word that the balance of payments deficit worsened during the first three months of 1963. The optimistic economic report came from the Federal Reserve Board which announced- Thursday that industrial production in April recorded its highest percentage point increase in 22 months.

A few hours later, the Commerce Department reported that the payments deficit rose to an annual rate of $3.3 billion during the first quarter of the year-about one billion higher than last year's rate. and receipt of large commitmnts of foreign funds for military purchases. measures the output in the nation's factories, mines and utilities.

Walter Williams, director of Mercury operations, said the flight was "a textbook- flight" in that "in the last five hours we used every page 'in the book."

Unless some local enthusiasm is shown, Porter warned, Beckley may bss Interstate W. He reported a conversation with Assistant State Road Commissioner Vincent Johnkoaki indicating it is the feeling of the State that Beckley citizens have not expressed an interest in the highway. Pressure is being applied to the Federal Highway. Departnient, through letters, resolutions and delegations to Charleston and Washington to have the highway rerouted, Porter said. -The assistant commissioner feels, according to Porter, that the various civic in Beckley and Raleigh County should let the state know of their interests and say that they want and expect this highway to come through Beckky.

Porter informed Sawyers that the citizens of Beckley had not expressed an opinion on this matter because they assumed the highway is coming to Beckley, since it has been publicly announced and recommended in Washington.
