At yesterda ys meeting, Grimes told the sheriff he was violating the constitutional rights of inmates by not giving them anything to read. Schneider responded, If that is the way you feel, you can take us to court. Operation Read seeks to distribute 25 to 30 books and magazines to the prisoners for rehabilitative purposes. Grimes said the reading material is meant to provide enjoyment, education and poiblv ideas for employment upon their release.

Robert Appleman, president of the Rock Island League of Women Voters, said today the organization has no position on either the site or concept of the regional correctional center. In an article yesterday in The Argus, a spokesman for the league was credited with objecting to the center, suggesting the community and individuals might be better served if money was, put into the community rather, than constructing another institution. According to Mrs. Appleman the woman should not have been speaking for the league on this matter.

Modern Woodmen of America One of the Nations Ceating Traternal J2ife Insurance Organizations HOME OFFICE ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS A probe which-last month seemingly settled personnel problems at Oak Glen Home evidently will be renewed by the county boards Oak Glen Home committee as the result of a suggested staff change.

Administrator William Nusz recommended that a member of the staff in a high managerial position be replaced because of an alleged history of personality conflicts with superiors and other personnel, unprofessional attitude and a high rate of absenteeism in the department headed by the individual. The successor named by Nusz is also a staff person. The managerial staff member recommended for demotion was in the thick of the earlier investigation, saie Nusz. The committee asked that neither person mentioned by Nusz be publicly named until the com- Under the circumstances, Nusz said, It was the prudent thing to do. Asked if he might resign if the committees decision is not favorable, Nusz said, I dont think so.

He indicated he would stand back of its decision. A continued high rate of occupancy for skilled, intermediate and shelter care, over 98 per cent, was reported. Of a total 333 beds, there were only seven vacancies and four were expected to be filled by Monday. Nusz pointed out there was a waiting list of 78 persons for intermediate care and the number was always consistently high. Due to the apparent need, IIusz said, he hoped Oak Glen could add another 50 to 70 beds.

The matter has not been discussed in committee. In a final action, the committee approved the purchase of 50 mattresses and springs from the Rock Island Bedding Co. at a total cost of $1,830. 9 Reasons to buy Hoover Spin-Drying Washer over other makes U1 in w--m' I mittee resolves the matter. Committee chairman 1 Downen, D-East Moline, appar: ently as a stalling tactic, immediately suggested the matter be taken under advisement.

Several committee members felt both persons would resign from Oak Glen because of the staff change. Nusz said he did not think so, although he admitted not having, talked with either of them. Nusz said he made the same recommendation to the previous committee headed by former board member Ted Davies, R-South Rock Island, but the gioup never reached a decision. That was about seven or eight months ago, he said. Evaluation Reports The administrator read three lengthy evaluation reports on the conduct and attitude of the person involved in the staff change.

He said he made the same presentation to the committee during the June probe into nursing home problems. While he asked that the person be relieved of the managerial responsibility, he did not request a salary change. The Rev. Robert O. Williams, R-Rock Island, commented that the committee was reluctant to act immediately because of the responsible position involved.

He said to Nusz, If you expected an immediate it wont be forthcoming. After its earlier investigation into personnel unrest, the committee gave Nusz a vote of confidence but at the same time reversed some personnel changes made by the administrator. A person fired was re-hired; a person was reassigned an administrative title and anothers work schedule was reinstated. At that time, Nusz was directed to implement a hew personnel procedure, which he presented to the committee yesterday for review. Asked by The Argus if he were surprised by Nusz recommended staff change so soon after the earlier personnel probe, Downen said he was not.

Nusz also replied negatively 1 -'i -f- if 1 Wl A A Russian champ takes 1st win in chess duel REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) It will settle down, Bobby Fischer said Wednesday night after he lost the first game of the world chess championship to defending champion Boris Spassky.

grandmaster, said Fischers loss isnt necessarily all that significant. Either of these players can come back and win." A victory yields one point, a draw half a point, and after Wednesdays Spassky needed 11 more points in the 24-game series to retain his title. Fischer needs 12 points to end the 24-year Soviet monopoly of the title. Today he plays the white pieces, which gives him the first move and a slight advantage.
