Favor Bi-Partisan Status For Office Of Fire Marshal

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — A governor’s committee of fire prevention experts studying the Indiana state fire marshal's office in the wake of the 73-fafal-ity Indianapolis Coliseum explosion last Oct. 31 recommended that the office be placed on a bi-partisan political status. The recommendation to remove the office from control of the party in power in state gove r n m e n t and reconstitute it along the lines of the Indiana State Police Department was contained in a preliminary report to Governor Welsh. A bi-partisan supervisory board would oversee the policies and practices of the department somewhat in the manner of the state police operations, and “some form of merit system” would be used in selecting staff members. The report suggested that the size of the marshal’s staff be doubled. It also called for a review by the 1965 Legislature of all Indiana laws, codes and regulations pertaining to the office, and modernizing them to coincide with naticAal standards. Emett Cox, Chicago, chairman of the five-member evaluation committee named by Welsh last month, said the committee will meet again Feb. 22. Meanwhile, it will confer with Indiana legislators to see if they would support the tentative recommendations. The bi-p artisan supervising board would set qualifications for employees and conduct hearings with power of reinstatement for staff members charged with inefficiency. The committee spelled out, its beliefs that “applicants should not need political approval for any source” in order to get a job but should be selected' for their experience, training and physical fitness. Cox said he felt the full amount of the special tax collected ip Indiana from insurance companies would be sufficient to operate the department. The legislatures in the past have not always ap proved a budget eqii' * to this sum. Cox emphasized that the formal report of his group would not be made until the Legislative Advisory Commission and a special subcommittee on the fire fire marshal’s office approve the plan. "After all, the state legislature

represents the people of Indiana and we want to work it out with them,” Cox said. Asked if he felt the Marion County grand jury was wrong in indicting Fire Marshal Ira Anderson and City Fire Chief Arnold Phillips in connection with the disaster, Cox said, speaking for himself only, “I feel that both men are doing an outstanding job.” “Such a disaster could happen again even if you tripled the staff of the fire marshal," ne said.

—GOOD OLD DAYS rushed with orders, but the severity of the weather, which made hauling almost out of the question. and the shortage of the supply caused most orders to go unfilled. With the approach of Saturday night it was announced that the court house would be kept open for the accomodation of persons who could not keep warm at their homes. A number of persons availed themselves of the offer. Fifty families were represented there. Scarcely a home or business house in the city escaped having its water pipes frozen or bursted. Even the meters were broken in some places. Workmen from the water company’s office and plant were kept on the jurrtp all day long, as well as plumbers and other persons who knew anything about adjusting the diffi-

culty.

The gas company had much trouble with frosted lines, but a good pressure was maintained in most cases. Trains and interurban cars ran from two to ten hours late. There was little or no traveling, and mail service was reduced to a minimum. The rural carriers did not attempt to cover their routes an<4' -Htr icarriers <*fid not gui qu<4 withe W?rflupn,t phrt'j‘because there was no mail to be distrkbnt«d. i » "More Than Oswald" FORT WORTH UPI — Mrs. Marguerite Oswald, frantically searching for a way to clear her son of the assassin's brand, charged that if Lee Harvey Oswald shot President Kennedy he must have had helpers. “There must have been a plot or a conspiracy,” she said, “there is more to it than Lee Harvey Oswald.”

also cost extra.

Last but not least, it’s a Chevrolet. Which ouaiity trucks means that it is built to work for you a long alwats cost usu time at minimum cost.
