KEACH WINNER ON APPOINTEES TO PARK BOARD Ousting of Jesse McClure Is Blocked by Action of Mike Foley. The first indication that Leroy Keach, Democratic County chairman, is recognized at city hall as something more than the titular head of the party was seen today by political observers in park board appointments made Thursday. A substantial list of persons who bore Reach's approval was named, the first time Keach has been able to get any noticeable recognition. Mayor L. Ert Slack has resisted party recommendations to a great extent, on the ground that merit and not politics should be the basis for appointments. Charles A. Myers, former clerk, who replaced Charles M. Davidson, witness in the bribery trial of Councilman Boynton J. Moore, as chief clerk, is known as a “Keach man.” Myers and Miss Mary E. Grffin, reappointed secretary, were employed in the department for several years until the Duvall administration filled their posts with Klan workers. Miss Griffin and the new chief clerk are Democrats, while the discharged employes are Republicans. Bishop Joseph M. Chartrand of the Indianapolis Catholic diocese, was said actively to have supported Myers and Miss Griffin when their jobs were at stake two years ago. Some of the twenty-two park custodians named Thursday are organization Democrats, known to be friendly to Keach.

Helen Rohrer, who lives in Shamokin, Pa., and co-eds at the American University, Washington, has been re-elected secretary of the Intercollegiate Prohibition Association.

Michael E. Foley, Democratic board member, made the motion to name Myers and Miss Griffin. Mrs. Mary Hoss, Republican, who balked some time ago on Mayor Slack's program, seconded the motion. Adolph G. Emhardt, a Democratic member, announced he was not voting on the discharge of Clarence Myers. Foley blocked the ousting of Recreation Director Jesse P. McClure, active Republican, whom the Slack administration sought to drop some time ago. Foley said he desired to delay action a week so he could meet Henry Ott Goett, Democratic attorney, and investigate his record.

Goett was recommended to succeed McClure. Considerable friction developed at the meeting. Mrs. Hoss asked why the recreation head was to be known as recreation assistant, when Superintendent R. Walter Jarvis so read his name on the list for appointment. President Milnor explained the recreation department was under direction of Superintendent Jarvis. “I’m not making motions around here,” said Mrs. Hoss earlier in the meeting, when Milnor asked for motions on the appointments. Mayor Slack, who attended the meeting to vote in event of a tie, told the board Goett’s contemplated appointment was “not political, but on his merit. He is very competent.” Milnor made the motion to discharge McClure and appoint Goett after he received an opinion from Park Attorney Edward B. Raub that the chair could make a motion. It was lost for want of a second.

“There is no rush about it, I guess,” said Mrs. Hoss. “Well, we have talked about it. Why procrastinate?” interrupted Milnor. “We can keep the position open open a week,” suggested Mayor Slack who had insisted McClure be dropped. In asking the board to delay action on the recreation post, Foley said: “I’m under bond as a public official and I want to know how things are run. This recreation directorship is more important than the superintendency, because he comes in contact with the citizens of tomorrow.” Fourteen of the custodians had been employed previously in the department. The list submitted to the board by Milnor, following Slack approval: Regular—Brookside, James M. Driver, father-in-law of former Mayor Duvall, reappointed: Municipal Gardens, George Stellhorn, reappointed: Douglas Park, James
