GARDNER IS
OFFERED JOB
May Head Police at Arma-
ment Assembly Plant Near
Middletown

Thomas V. Gardner, who was dis
missed as chief of police by the
steelton borough council at a secret
special meeting Monday evening, was
yesterday offered the position of chief
OF police at the aviation plant near
M1ddletown at a largely increased
salary to what he was paid by Steel
ton.
The record made by Chief Gardner
IN the two months he was at the
mead OF Steelton's police force in the
way OF maintaining order in the bor-
oush mad attracted the attention of
the governments agents in this dis
trlct, who were not long in swapping
UP what a coterie or Steelton's bor-
ough council did not want and Gard
ner promptly accepted.
A new rumor was circulated
through the borough and Harrisburg
yesterday which, If true. would throw
considerable light on the summary
manner in which Chief Gardner was
dismissed. According to this rumor,
a certain financial institution sent q
written communication to Borough
Secretary Feidt in which the defy
was given that the only way the bor-
ough could secure it's usual summer
loans to tide the borough over until
the taxes come in more rapidly was
the instant dismissal of Chief Gard
ner.
Officers of the institution en-
phatically denied the rumor, stating
there was nothing to 1t.
