PERSONNEL COMPLAINT, I.A. No. 86-600
Page 2 2
said "Chico wants to be a Mexican but he is a Jew." Others
in the unit laughed but he was humiliated.
Diethrich stated that she recalled seeing something written
on the blackboard in the OIS Section about a year ago
(approximately June 1988) that had the word "Jew" in it.
She did not pay particular attention to what was written on
the blackboard but knew that the comment referred to
Ramirez. Pellegrino and others in the unit had kidded
Ramirez for a couple of days about being Jewish. She did
not recall who other than Pellegrino had kidded Ramirez
about being Jewish. She recalled hearing Pellegrino say
something to the effect "Chico wants to be Mexican but he is
a Jew." She did not know who had written the statement on
the black board nor did she hear Lieutenant Hall say "Well
it looks like someone has dug up dirt on a Detective III
candidate," in response to any comment written on the board.
Payne stated that he recalled seeing the sentence,
"Howard Schreiber is whose father?" written on the
blackboard in the OIS Section office. He denied that he
wrote such a comment on the blackboard and was not aware of
anyone else doing so. Nor did he recall hearing Pellegrino
state in his presence, "Chico wants to be a Mexican but he
is a Jew." He likewise did not hear Lieutenant Hall state
in response to any writing on a blackboard, "Well it looks
like someone has dug up dire on a D-III candidate." Payne
stated that he asked Ramirez what the writing meant and he
replied that Schreiber was his father. Ramirez did not seem
upset about what was written.
Watts stated he observed the name, "Howard Schreiber,"
written on the blackboard in the OIS office about a year
ago. He could not recall any other words written on the
board. He did not know who wrote the name. He denied
hearing Pellegrino state in reference to the writing on the
board, "Chico wants to be a Mexican but he is a Jew.: Nor
did he hear Lieutenant Hall state, "Well it looks like
someone has dug up dirt on a D-III candidate," in reference
to the name written on the board. He recalled Ramirez
pointing out the name on the board and stating that was his
father's name. Ramirez did not appear to be upset by the
name being written on the board.
Detective Hall stated that he observed the name
"Howard Schreiber" written on the blackboard in the OIS
Section office. He was not sure if the question form, "is
whose father?," was written or not. He saw the name about
three or four months ago (January or February 1989) .
