Amendment Is Remedy
AS a remedy for the situation, Mr..
Greenberg said the only permanent
solution would be an amendment of the
civil service article of the new charter.
In the meantime, he said, the commits
sion can ask the city solicitor to petit
tion the Court of Common Pleas for
permission to subpoena and compel the

DECLARES FOR NEW REGIME

Charles II. Hall. chief clerk of Select
Council. who aspires to be president
of the new City Council, still has hopes.
He says he does not believe he has been
"bowlcd out" Of consideration for this
position.
Mr.. Hall said today he thought
he would BE- elected TO the post 'if the
poison squad. at City Hall would keep
away from Mayor elect Moore
1t is believed by many who look
below the surface politically that the
statement of Mr.. Moore at Yesterdays
conference with members of the new
Council and the results of that confer
ence, virtually eliminated Hall as n
contender for the presidency of Councils
and alseo Mr.. Gaffncy as finance com
nittce chairman. But apparently Mr..
Hall doesn't feel that way about it,
In addition to expressing confidence
of his election, MIR. Hall said he was
solidly with Mr.. Moore and had no
other political inclination.

POLICE TRIAL FAULT
LAID TO SCHAFFER
Gutenberg Says Civil Service
Boards Subpoena Power Cut
by Attorney General

Frederick p. Gutenberg. director OF
the Bureau Of Municipal Research, to-
day declared responsibility rested on
Governor Sproul and Attorney General
Schnffer for the Civil Service Commits =
sion's lack of power TO subpoena wit
ncsses at police and fire board trials.
The new city charter abolished the
old police and fire trial boards and gave
the Civil Service Commission power to
hear and decide on complaints against
city employees In the classified service.
At the recent trial Of an accused
patrolman the proceedings were halted
by the refusal of witnesses to appear
before the inquiry board.
Mr.. Gutenberg pointed ont that tht
charter bill as originally drafted en-
powered the Civil Service Commission
to subpoena witnesses.

This recommendation of the char
ter committee, however, did not be-
come law. When the bill was referred
by the Governor to the attorney gen

latter insisted upon numerous changes
