Fayette Welfare Director. Who Watched at Polls.
In the first case of its kind, the state personnel board today declined to reinstate Charles Get-
tion because of his admitted political goguse ot Mr. Gettinger’s political activity, according to his own statement and evidence accummulated by the state board, consisted only of serving as a watcher at the polls for a friend who was running for office. He did this on a day he was not working, he said. In its decision, sent to Mrs. Pern Anderson, president of the Fayette county welfare board, the state board said that “it is with regret that the personnel board is forced, under the provisions of previous and present rules, which have been
years, to accept this" dismissal for political activity.
Appealed From County Board
“Had he not participated in political activity, the appeal of Mr. Gettinger would have been sustained by unanimous approval of this board,” the board said. Mr. Gettinger, a Democrat, was dismissed by the Fayette county welfare board, the members of which are appointed by Republican Circuit Judge G. Andrew Golden, last Dee. 27. The charges against him included political activity, inefficiency, misconduct, ‘incapacity and neglect of duty. Mr. Gettinger appealed from the county board’s decision to the personnel board. From its investigation of the case, the state board. concluded that
tiate any of the charges except the one of political activity—serving as a watcher at the polls for a friend.
State Board Critical
The state board criticized the charges preferred by the county board, stating in its letter to Mrs. Anderson that “the board hopes that in the future the county welfare board will handle such cases with more accuracy and equity than has been displayed in the case of secre Mr. Gettinger.” Mr. Gettinger’s case was the first to be appealed to the el board under the new merit system law which provides that if any employee coming under the merit system is suspended or laid off for political, social, religious or racial reasons, the personnel board has the power to reinstate thé employee without loss of pay. Examinations are to be given soon to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Gettinger’s ouster.

Shoes Rubbered? U.S. Needs Them
WASHINGTON, March 10 (U. P.) —~Crepe rubber soled shoes may be called on to do their bit in the attempt to obtain crude rubber for war program, WPB rubber experts said today. However, these experts looked
at shoes as a small rubber “mine” compared with the millions of automobile tires. They said the estimated 5,000,000 pairs of crepe soled shoes might provide 2000 ‘ tons of crude rubber—if the owners were willing to turh them over to Uncle Sam. Crepe rubber soles are made of crude rubber. WPB officials pointed out that many of the shoes might be worth much more to their owners for wear than to the government as sources of crude rubber. They estimated the soles of one pair of shoes worth 20 cents as scrap.
