Pressures on Police Chief appointment are reaching red-hot stage with groups ganging up on each other for ‘voice” in selection. Mr. Clark has promised “shakeup" of department. But official in law enforcement pointed out that complete “cleanup” would involve “many dismissals and suspensions.” Where would replacements come from -at present low pay scales? That question poses toughest problem since Police Department is considered about 500 officers short of enough to police city effectively. Speculation of possible continued a guessing game at week-end. Closest associates of Mayor-elect Clark are not agreed on candidates. Some say the new Chief will be someone who has never heen mentioned for post before. This classification might include Capt. John Ambuhl. Others say Sgt. Joseph Stutesman is still high-ranking possibility. Other possibilities include Inspector Howard Sanders or James Langsford, retired officer.
