Retirement Pensions Hit New High In Military
Washington AP reports the Pentagon will pay more to retired personnel this year than the Army pays to all active duty soldiers. Pension costs have surged to 8.2 percent of the defense budget and could reach 10 billion next year. The GAO warns costs may top 30 billion by 2000. Over one million veterans receive pensions, rising to 1.3 million by 1980. Retirement pay for E7 and lieutenant colonel figures are cited. Calls for reforms come from within and lobbying groups oppose cutting benefits.

Central Prison Warden Reports Changes Aimed at Problems
Central Prison in Raleigh remains a focal point of the state corrections system though warden Sam Garrison says reforms have reduced but not eliminated rackets. The 1968 riot followed inmate profits from crafts in the hobby shop and failed incentive wages. Now access to the shop is restricted and wages remain low. The facility holds about 1,400 inmates in a maximum security setting with limited segregation space and undersized staffing for meaningful work.
