Show More Jail Security Asked in Area Of Drunk Tank By Doyle E. Smith vide jail personnel and man the drunk tank. Tribune Staff Writer Police Chief Dewey J. Fillis Tuesday told the City Commission more security is needed in the Salt Lake Jail, especially in the drunk tank area. There is a growing concern about the problems that arise, and as the result of a study of the facility I believe additional security help is needed, he said. Capt. Willie M. Stoler, chief executive officer, conducted a study of the jail and gave the chief a report Monday that included fire suggested solutions. The city commission, at the suggestion of Public Safety Commissioner James L. Barker Jr., directed the county attorneys office to check the contract between the city and the county on the jail to determine whose job it is to pro- y two-mont- h i w Salt iukt Determine How Much City Pays The commissioners also directed Lynn J. Marsh, city personnel director, to determine how much the city pays to help man the jail. Mayor J. Bracken Lee said he thought the county was in charge of all operations of the jail. Capt. Stoler reported that in recent months there have been several Instances wherein prisoners housed in the drunk tank have become involved in fights, and in at least two instances, have resulted Li serious injuries to inmates, often requiring hospitalization. In my opinion, if something is not done immediately to correct this Jtua-tioanother altercation might result in a prisoner being killed," Capt. Stole: told Chief Fillis. n, Cant Keep Constant Watch CWO Tom Maxwell, conductor of 23rd Army The chief told Commissioner Barker that due to the physical setup of the drunk tank area, it is impossible for the booking officer to keep a constant watch over prisoners and still take care of his work in the booking area.

Theyre the most interesting people in the world. The late Damon Runyon, one of the top newspapermen of all and a great sportswriter, commented once to a young reporter after a heavyweight championship prizefight: Always remember, kii, the real story is in the losers dressing room! This holds true in almost every kind of competitive endeavor. Next time you attend a beauty contest, and the winner is announced, look at the faces of the losers.

Some are soreheads . . . Some walk around In a trance . . . I thought the losers acted quite well last night . . . considering the tension of the campaigns, and the ticklish issues Involved. Most of the losing candidates accepted their lot with a smile. It wasn't a happy smile, but they at least tried. One of the classiest losers of all politicians was the late Adlai Stevenson. Adlai could lose with a flair. He could lose like a gentleman. Of course, he had a lut of practice. On election nig'.,t, when tlie vote pattern started to show defeat, Adlai never lost his cool. He was as great in defeat as he would have been In victory. By Dave Jonsson Tribune Staff Writer ; Public policy doe3 not dictate a relaxed interpretation of conflict of inter-est rules, a brief filed by Atty. Gen. Phil L. Hansen with the Utah Supreme Court said Tuesday. The brief is in answer to a suit by State Sen. W. Hughes Brockbank, Lake, which asked the court to order the State Finance Department to consider bids for services and supplies from legis- lator - connected firms. The case stems from an opinion Aug. 28 by Mr. Hansen which held legislators would be In a conflict of Interest and subject to constitutional prohibitions if they or the firms they were interested in made a pecuniary profit on dealings with the state. lt Court Stays Order Pending outcome of the suit, the court has stayed implementation of the ban on legislators business and bids are for the present being accepted. The brief filed Tuesday also contend-e- d members of the State Legislature are prohibited from being interested, in a private capacity, either directly or indi-rectly, in contracts to which the state of Utah is a party. That contention is a restatement of the holding of the contro- versial opinion. "It is clear that members of the Utah the Legislature are public officers, brief contended, referring to a provision of the Utah Constitution wMch states The making of profit out of public monies, or using the same for any pur-ponot authorized by law, by any pub- lie officer, shall be deemed a felony booking office. , Chief Fillis added that at the present time, during a busy period, as many as 40 to 50 men are placed in the community type cells. Orders Use Discontinued Chief Deputy Sheriff Ferris D. Andrus stated that one television monitor, originally installed in the drunk tank facility, had no value, so its use was ordered discontinued by Sheriff Delmar L. Larson. He said 90 percent of the prisoners in drunk tank are city prisoners and suggested that if more manpower is added that it should be city police personnel. the , 2 , j 2 J , J I v j fr .

Because Thanksgiving Day comes relatively late this year on Nov. 28, the annual Downtown Christmas Parade will be held before Thanksgiving on Sat- urday, Nov. 23, at 9 a.m. Stanford P. Darger, RMA secretary-- . manager, said downtown businesses have the opportunity to sponsor floats, giant balloons or animals. Billed as a giant ballroom parade the event will feature several bands, more than 40 floats, clowns and even old St. Nick himself. Along with the arrival of Santa Claus to the downtown shopping area, free loop buses will begin their runs after the parade and will operate from noon to 9 p.m. every day from then until Christ-ma- s Eve. Encouraging everyone to light up for Christmas, Mr. Darger said more than a dozen business establishments and offices plan outside decorations this year for the first time. The Salt Lake Gty Jaycees, who in street lighting each year, have already mailed their assessment letters to downtown businesses. 2 j I j -- 2 ; 2 , ; . I 2 as-si- st J f |
