LOS ANGELES (UPI)-The Christ-
mas bonus, an employer's annual stab
at generosity and good cheer, may ac-
tually be just a clever device to
manipulate workers and deny them
well-deserved raises, a University of
Southern California researcher said
Wednesday.
"Employers give the impression of
acting out of altruism, but they usually
expect something in return," said
Jerald Jellison, an associate professor
of psychology at USC and consultant
who teaches "Power Management" to
private businesses.
"AN EMPLOYER can use the
Christmas bonus as a tool to
manipulate you all rear round. I call it
dangling the carrot with the bitter af-
tertaste," Jellison said in an interview.
any number of excuses," Jellison said.
"If you pay close attention to what is
happening throughout the year, the
employer is putting all sorts of pressure
on you to get this thing. In June they tell

you to jump over one hurdle if yotuw

THE BONUS is presented as
reward for a job well done throughdIt

frequently uses it to obligate the worker
to work longer hours after the

Miler High Life'


wMARTINEZ, Calif. (UPI) - A 6-
kar-od boy who survived almost four
years in an unlicensed day care center
portrayed by prosecutors as a chamber
of horrors told investigators of the
treatment that allegedly claimed the
life of one of his playmates.
The boy, described only as "Jimmy,"
told a sheriff's department in-
vesti gator about his experiences at the
hands of Eleanor Laurie Nathan, 35,
charged with the March 18 murder of
11-month-old Matthew Cromwell and 20
counts of child abuse.
"WHAT WOULD happen if you wan-
ted to sleep at Mrs. Nathan's?" Jimmy
was asked by sheriff's Sgt. Al Snell.
"She would kick me in the face," the
child told him.
The boy was not seriously injured in
over three years at the center.
However, six other children were
hospitalized as a result of their injuries.
A PORTION of affidavits filed by the
sheriff's office in connection with the
Nathan investigation, Jimmy's
statements came to light at the Pit-
tsburg, Calif., woman's arraignment
Wednesday. She was in custody on
$250,000 bail.
The papers filed in Mt. Diablo
Municipal Court told a harrowing story
of the alleged mental and physical tor-
ments suffered by the 40 children who
spent their days at the facility run by
Nathan at her home in Clayton, Calif.
The documents, which included
results of police investigations and ac-
counts by parents, were a litany of

slappings, punchings, banishings to
unlit rooms and the out-of-doors during
stormy weather.
Nathan was arrested Monday after a
ftwo-month investigation by East Bay
1authorities into the activities at the day
'care center. She will not enter a plea to
the charges until Dec. 15 on the advice
of her attorney.
