Political Feud | Comes to Fore

_Rouls Ouster Step Tied to Mayor Race

Continued From Page One

from a Florida vacation recently. | .The chief came back to the job without even a whispering hint that he would step out. “That had a lot to do with the Mayor's blast yesterday, too” said one Oemocratic leader. ‘Whole Top Brass’ Members of the regular Demoeratic organization associated with Chairman Paul McDuff have | complained bitterly about ‘“Republicans running the Democratic city administration.” “The whole top brass in the Police Department is Republican and many key men at City Hall are Republicans,” declared a spokesman for the regular Democratic organization. “It’s time to run a Democratic administration with Democrats.” Mayor Bayt, of course inherited the Republican appointees from the late Mavor Feeney's administration and he has been hesitant to change them after his original commitment that he “would run City Hall like Al would have run it.” The Democratic Party feuding over Chief Rouls has been going on since the day the late Mavor Feeney named him to head the Police Department back in December, 1947, The feuding broke out into the open several times as the background motives behind the break between the late Mayor and Prosecutor George S. Dailey in 1949. It also was the focal point of deep-seated friction in the 1950 primary when the late Mayor tried to defeat James Cunning- | ham for the Sheriff nomination. But Mayor Feeney never weak- | ened in his determination to keep! Mr. Rouls as police chief. ‘ Mr. Rouls has been trying to follow a difficult role on a professional level. “I'm trying to do the best job I can,” he said. ‘I was a Republican all my life until 1 was appointed chief by the late Mayor Feeney. Since then I have been the Democratic ticket. i
