'GOE VILE LOSE
 1 FIGHT ONStHOOL
Three Commissioners To Support Altrnan's Pro :
 posed Police Institute is

Police Commissioner Cloe will lose his fight to block the civils1 service boards move to sestahlishe police training school in Bifmingham. 1t ap- peared. likely Saturday ss =,
 Cloe. declared, however, he would not surrender without a hard fight. and made ready to bitterly attack the pro- posaf at Tuesdays session of the, com- mission. s ss, :.
 City hall indications were that Com mfssioners Harrison, Echols and Dick son would vote to grant the $10a ap- propriation asked by the civil service officials to establish the school, with George T.. Ragsdale, a police expert from Louisville. Ky. in charge for the first month. s- s--~sss- rse =
 CIoe Claims Insult. 5,
 Cloe contends that itswould be an in- suit to his men to put an outsider over them, to "show them how to patrol Rir; mingham." He asserts that this city has the most efficient police depart ment of its sine in. the country, and that the only thing needed is more men.
 John w. Altman, chairman of the civil service board, says the board means no reflection on, the mem of the department but feels that the training course would tend Ito greatly raise the department's efficiency. He said the movement would be pressed before the commission Tuesday. =
 The clash between the police head and the service board, the latest war to break out at city halls has caused n stir among city officials and the members1cf the police force. -l s-s
 D. E. McI.endon.; commission pFesis dent, has been asked by Mir. Altman to bring the natter up. and will do so Tuesday. McLendon has not an- noaneed how he will vote. But Com missioner .Cloe is ready to discuss the proposal in plain language before de cisi0n is reached. < --
 Altman's Statement
 In reply to MT. Cloe's attack of Fri day, Mr. Altman issued the following statement: .-N :
 .'The board is honestly and earnestly, trying to do what it can to promote the. best interests of the police department and of the city. T, ain sorry that Mir. Gloe does not. fully. sgree with us that everybody can make some progress in the line of efficiency, including the members of the police department
 This is not in any wise criticism of the members of the department, but is for the benfit of the members and for the benefit of the citizens and to make Birmingham's police department the finest in the country. ~c. as-r..'s.-s
 When the civil service board was first organized, went to Mr. CIoeS on two occasions and inviteds him on behalf of the board to act with the board and to participate in its activities and asy sured him that any suggestions he might make, woald be given the fullest consideration asked him to come into the meetings and be part of the board. Sss -f>s-
 He has ,nevee come to q. meeting ex- cept on one occasion. when he came as a witness and them displayed some of his bad judgment and ignorance. sSs.
 .'The board will undoubtedly struggle along without the help of Mr. ClOe and the men will be protected by the board from any injustice Mir. 'Cloe might wish to put upon them.. s-..,ss--s, ;
