Edward N. Frensdorf of Hudson, Mich., was placed in charge of all state prison industries by Governor William A. Comstock.
Mr. Frensdorf previously served on the State Prison Commission under Governors Albert L. Sleeper, Chase S. Osborn and Woodbridge N. Ferris. He was at one time Warden of Jackson Prison and organized that institution’s industries to make them earn enough to meet the demands of the institution. He hopes to place all of the state’s prisons on a self-sustaining basis and says he believes he can effect economies of $1,000,000.
