Utility Adviser

GOP Election Battle Linked to Incident

A new City hall political

‘fight flared today over the

status of Clement L. Stan-| ford as the city’s paid expert on utility rate matters.

Corporation Counsel Arch N. Bobbitt said Mr. Stanford, who was retained a year, ago ‘to investigate utility rates for ‘the city, was fired last night on orders from the mayor, City Council President John A. Shumacher sald Mr. Stanford wasn't fired at all and was still working for the council, which would continue to pay him. _He’s Just Confused Mayor Tyndall “took a middle-ot-~thesroad position: He sald-Mr-Stan=|

ford wasn't fired, but simply wasn't |

on the city's payroll any more. Mr. Stanford said he was confused. The story of what happened has mostly to do with the Republican primary election battle, Mr. Stanford carried the ball for |5€ the city in its fight to prevent a rate increase by Indianapolis Railways, Inc. He was the key figure in city council's probe of the Cluizens Gas & Coke Utility, He would be an important figure in the pending rate cases of the Indiana Bell Telephone Co., the council's drive to” cut power and light rates and further investigation of the gas utility if he continues to work for the city. All of Mr, Stanford's activities have generated heat in the office of Mayor Tyndall. The heat got

behind the candidacy of William H, Wemmer. It is reported some of Mr. Wemmer's supporters—but not Mr. Wemmer—have brought pressure to bear on the mayor and Mr. Bobbitt to get rid of Mr. Stanford. Asks Bobbitt Intervene Last week, Council. President Schumacher wrote a letter to the mayor asking him to have Mr. Bobbitt intervene in the west side water case now before the Indiana public service commission. The mayor blamed Mr. Stanford for writing the letter for Mr. Schumacher and fired him, according to

i

Mr. Schumacher, who is a candidate for mayor himself, said he

ford’s services without a fight. He said he was “going in to see the general about this thing” Need His Help “There are too many important things at stake,” he sald. “There are water, gas, light and telephone issues and we need Mr. Stanford's

“We still have a big job to do on utilities and I'm going to see that it's done whether I'm nominated or not. Mr, Stanford is going to continue working and we'll see that he’s paid if we have to pass a speeial ordinance to do it.”

Good Idea if She Gets Apartment

The convention had its ritualistic grand opening at this morning's cerning contributions to political |

campaign funds in Vanderburgh | county.

Mayor Reichert, who is also vai| derburgh Republican county chair-| man, had indictments charging him with mishandling of political funds! quashed because they allegedly occurred in 1944 and 1946, and prosecution was barred.

Charge Knowledge of Vice
