VOSHELL‘LAYS DOWN LAW TO CITY'SFIREMEN 'Live in City, Stay Out of Politics/ is Warning of Department Chief. BY DICK MILLER "Live in the city and keep out of politics—‘or else,’ ” was the warning advice Fire Chief Harry Voshell sounded for city firemen today as printers bent to anew firefighters* rule book displacing th* “horsedrawn" edition of 1919. “Or else" means: "Or explain to the board of safety," declared Votshell who says he is determined to terminate the suburban residence of city firemen, halt their political activities, check sick-leave for the well and tighten up discipline ail around. Voahell’s secretary, Harry Gould, has been collaborating with the chief for several weeks in preparation of the new edition of "What Every Fireman Should Know.” Population to Jump Its appearance is expected to cause a sudden jump in the city’s population for it reminds firemen that when they applied for appointment they swore they had been residents of the city for some time and were qualified voters. Insistent that every fireman reside inside the city, Chief Voshell learned this week that the directory In his office is unreliable. It contains a city address for every fireman. But this week while investigating the report that a fireman, off duty on sick leave, was visiting his cottage at a northern Indiana lake, Chief Voshell made the disconcerting discovery that the fireman does not reside where listed. A relative lives there, but the fireman resides outside the city on the Rockville road. The same fireman furnished Voshell a sidelight on the abuse of sick leave. Questioned, the fireman said he was off duty this week with permission of Dr. Frederick Crum, police surgeon. From Dr. Crum and the fireman, Voshell learned the doctor had told the firefighter he “ought to get a little air,” thinking he would take a walk near his home. Whereupon, the “ailing” fireman drove to an upstate lake and made a payment on his cottage. Off Only Three Time* “It’s another case of a few unprincipled firemen spoiling a privilege of the deserving, ’ Voshell said, adding, however, that the fireman under investigation has been off sick but three times in twenty-four years. “He probably felt he could get away with something he saw others doing, and left the city,” Voshell said. It has been learned that police surgeons frequently excuse firemen and policemen from duty by telephone. Under the present system, firemen and policemen are treated by their family physicians and their reporting back for duty is more or less a matter of honor. VoShell would have police surgeons make daily examination of sick firemen and police. Five per cent of firemen off for sickness are ill chronically, he said. The outcome of Voshell’s investigation may be that firemen will not be allowed an indefinite period off duty with pay. The out-of-town residence evil dates back, Voshell believes, to an Instance in which permission was given a fireman to Uve outside the city limits upon doctors’ affidavits it would be beneficial to the fireman’s wife, who was ill. Relaxed Discipline Cited In a recent series of articles, The Times drew attention to relaxed discipline which was impairing efficiency of the department. A check of fire houses has revealed improved conditions. Companies are showing more speed in answering alarms, station houses and apparatus are In better condition and apparatus is getting away “at the gun” with full crews. Asserting he has full support of the safety board, Voshell believes he will accomplish even better discipline and efficiency. There will be no wholesale political changes, he asserts, but gradual changes to eradicate cliques that have embarrassed smooth operation of the department. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan recently told firemen at a general roll call they must refrain from taking part in politics. The report that a fire captain, elevated Just before the close of the Slack administration, is engaged actively in the primary campaign of a Republican county office seeker, Is being investigated, the fire chief declared. Highway Bids Wanted Bv Time* Bveeial ANDERSON, Ind., March 29. Madison county commissioners will receive bids April 15 for paving of two streets here and a gravel road in Jackson township.

LEGAL BATTLE THREATENED ON STEELMERGER Ohio Magnate Sees Much Litigation If Schwab Forces Win. Bu Cnitert Pres* YOUNGSTOWN, 0., March 29. Threats of a court fight, if the proposed Youngstown Sheet and TubeBethlehem Steel merger goes through, appeared on the horizon today. This was after a renewal of verbal warfare between rival steel magnates. who seek to add Sheet and Tube to vast holdings. Cyrus S. Eaton, dominant figure in Republic Steel and bitter opponent of Bethlehem, who would consolidate Sheet „nd Tube with 'lie-* public and Pittsburgh, warned that at least 20 per cent of Sheet and Tube stockholders, allegedly disgruntled over Bethlehem's consolidation terms, would seek redress in the courts if the merger is consummated. The Clevelander, however, claims he and his associates will muster sufficient voting shares, direct and by proxy, to defeat the consolidation April 8. James A. Campbell, veteran chairman of the board of Sheet and Tube, who has aligned with Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the board, and Eugene G. Grace, president of Bethlehem, replied that Eaton's claim was “irresponsible.” The merger represents a battle of millions. The millions of Schwab, Graceand Bethlehem on one side, and the vast fortune of Eaton and his followers on the other. Youngstown, meantime, wonders at the outcome. The prize is her foremost industrial giant,.
