Be advised that I was a correctional officer for four month in 1967 and resigned my position as a point of honor because of the method used to operate the orison, and because of the blundering stuoidity of the superiors within the system. I informed tho Gov. that if certain personnel remained in their positions of authority that it would become a political issue at tho next oloction. It nopoar3 that it will become an issue and I want to help defeat Gov. Laxalt, and through his cefoat remove Carl Hooker from his political appointment as 'Warden. I can supply you with inside tho wall information concerning tho prison, which no !,fact finding committee" con liopo to discover. Matter of fact I would doom it a pleasure to aopear before the legislation body and express my knowledge, which I attempted to havo tho nev/3papors publish and was ^eDused. I want to talk with you concerning these it'uns and perhaps the Democratic party of Nevada can use this information.
