today and the first fireworks were the demands of the Muncie Citizens Jeague for a special prosecutor. After Circuit Judge ‘Joseph H.
Davis ruled out the request, saying |, he had neither funds nor authority |§
to appoint a special prosecutor, Citizens league spokesman P. D. Burkhalter said he would press his demands.
“Weare pressing our request for|
a special prosecutor,” Mr; Burkhalter said. He said his “league would ask the attorney general's office for an opinion on legal basis for the request if a special prosecutor is not provided.

Ralph Rector, Delaware county prosecutor, ignored the Citizens league” charges and said he would conduct the grand jury probe because “Judge Davis has no author-| ity to replace me.” “I'm elected the same as the Judge is and he doesn't have any authority to put anyone in my place,” Mr. Rector said. He said more than 100 subpenas had been issued so far, mostly to members of the Citizens: league and the Delaware County Ministerfal association. These groups’ demands for reform prompted the probe. Chief of Police William P. Vaught also is subpenaed.

Members of the grand jury are Erple Atkinson, Albany, a die sinker; Denzil BE. Arnold, Muncie, factory foreman; Charles Davis, Eton, advertising man; Arthur H Brewington, Muncie, electrician; Joseph Darlington, Muncie, coal dealer; Mrs. Howard Horn, Muncie, housewife. The vice probe followed an expose by The Times last week of vice and gambling and turbulent political situations in Muncie, °
