will find himself in thorough con-
troll of the city park board and faced
with the problem of choosing sue
cessors to EmsleyI w. Johnson and
Frank p. Manly who resigned
Thursday.
Resignation of the two park COM
missioners ends the successful hight
Duvall has made to GUST hold-over
Shank administration members. John
E. Minor, president, is the only
member who served before Duvall
took office, but he has adhered to
the mayors program during the long
contest.
There is 'some question as to the
status of Clarence L. Baker, APP
pointed by Mayor Duval when the
chief executive tried to GUST john
son forcibly from the board few
months ago. A court suit by John
son prevented Baker from succeed
ing him.
Wants Invitation
Baker today said he had no inten-
ton of attending the next board
meeting unless he was invited by
Mayor Duvall.
If Bakers invitation still holds
good, Duvall must select Demo
scrat to succeed Manly. The other
Democratic board member is Frank
Driver, brother-in-law of the may

In a letter to Duvall, Johnson
and Manly explained their resigna-
tons, as follows:
s'Your determination to dominate
the actions of the park board and
control its members is not in
harmony with our ideas of the law
governing the creation of the park
board. Since it has been determined
that you have the power to remove
members of the board at your will,
and you have arbitrarily assumed
control of the board, we feel that we
can no longer usefully serve the city
by remaining on the board
Fight Re-Routing
The two board members lost at
the board meeting Thursday in q
last stand to obtain original routing
of Kessler Blvd, the subject of
many charges against the old board
by Mayor Duvall.
At the same time it was revealed
at the meeting that Duvall and
friendly board members plan to
change the route of the boulevard,
particularly from Keystone Ave. to
the Allisonville Rd.
The route the administration has
in mind is said to be considerably
north of Fifty Ninth St., the pres
ent location. Angling north shortly
before reaching Spring Mill Rd., the
lplan is to go around Holiday Park
and cross White River at Sixty
Fourth ST., and hence due east
through the main street in Broad
