Slate Department Heads Eliminated Part Os Handley's Demand Os Economy INDIANAPOLIS (UP> — Three of the nine- department heads in the Indiana Public Service Commission were eliminated today in Tine with Governor Handley’s demand for economy. One of the officials was transferred to another department, but the others were out of jobs. The move will save an estimated sl.100 a month. The job held by J.B. Bailey of Indianapolis, chief of the utility tariff department, was abolished. So was the utility service department, headed by Virgil Vaught, Rockville, Parke County Republican chairman. The insurance department, headed by Mary Gangwer, Indianapolis, was eliminated, and she was transferred to another department to do the same work. Handley ordered department heads to cut 3 per cent from expenses for the rest of the current fiscal year and make economies in their two-year budgets. Garland Skelton, one of Handley’s three new commissioners, said the move was in answer to that demand. The shakeup also came because "we felt there was a certain amount of duplication,” Skelton said. Special Services At Craigville Church Special services will be held at the Craigville Evangelistic church at 7:30 o’clock tonight, and at 10:30 a.m. and 2:15 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday. The Rev.
