Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit June 12, 1970, 18249_1 (Jack Gittlemacker v. Arthur T. Prasse, Commissioner of Prisons of Pa. And Frank C. Johnston, Warden, State Correctional Institution, Dallas, Pa)

OPINION OF THE COURT

ALDISERT, Circuit Judge.

In this appeal we are confronted with the increasingly recurrent claim that the civil rights of appellant, an inmate of a state penal institution, have been violated by prison officials. The mounting frequency of civil rights claims, under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, in the federal courts cannot escape attention.
