John D. Williams, director of the
State Highway Commission, today

years, despite reorganization" of
the commission late Thursday.
Albert j. Wedeking was elected
chairman of the commission, sue

Wedeking is the senior Republican
member Of the commission. George

Commission members said that
retention or dismissal of Williams
was not even discussed at the meet
ing. Williems, by virtue of his full
time employment as director, ex-
ercises the powe of car over the
highway office. His regime has
been marked by the fact that no
newspaper man ever has been al
lowed close enough to commission
meetings to find out first hand what
went on.
The commission lets out exactly
what it wants the public to know,
either through statements by a paid
publicity director, what Williams
cares to tell, or what industrious
reporters are able to dig out through

Subordinates are so fearful of the
power of Williams that leaks" are

Hanging Fire.

County council meeting of June

battles between the two major fac
tons in the Republican party in

Several matters Of business which
have proved thorns in the side of
the George v. Coffin faction-con-
trolled council, will be resubmitted
by the county commissioners, a
majority of whom favor the fac
ton headed by Otis Dodson.
Chief among these are the $4,000

plant, a 100000 county road pro-
gram, and the payment of the

Council Member Paul Dunn.
member Of the Coffin majority said
today that he favors ''remedying the

council is more than willing to act
when the commissioner offer us

AL we can do is pass on plans

Commissioners CaSsius L. Hogle
and Charles o. Sutton retaliate
with the counter charge that it is
the council that has delayed, that
feasible plans have been submitted,
and that they have been rejected.
Road Projects Blocked
The road program has been
backed by Hogle and Sutton and
County Engineer Henry Campbell,

Women Guard Railroad Crossings;
Hold Jobs Begun in World War
Rain or Shine, Trio Sticks
to Post; Likes Work
Even in Winter.
BY DAN M. KIDNEY

They call them the three war
horses. Not an elegant title for
gentlewomen, but they like it. For
they are the sole survivors of some
eighteen who took to "railroading"
on the Pennsylvania during the war
years when nan-power was scarce.
The veteran of the group is Mrs.
Iva B. Kennedy, plump black
skirted matron. who presides with
vigor at the Butler Ave. crossing
during the first trick daily. Her
eight-hour shift is from 7 a. m. to
p. m. and she is on the job, rain
or shine.
The others are Mrs. Hattie How
ard, crossing guardswoman at Ray
mond ST., and Mrs. Genevieve
Schultz, Terrace Ave. crossing.
Armed with the large iron pole
surmounted with a disk bearing the
legend STOP" they warn traffic
of approaching trains.
Never An Accident
do you have any trouble with fast
trains?" Mrs. Kennedy was asked.
I'm more apt to have trouble
with some Of these fast Butler
boys" she replied with the ready
wit that suits her name. Her post
is located on the edge of the Butler
University campus.
She smiled and explained that she
meant no reflection on the students.
"They are the best hammered
persons in the world" she declared.
I'm all my time here I have never
had anything but the utmost cour-
tesy from them"
you see I come naturally by
liking the railroad" she continued.
MY father was an engineer and my
Uncle Ollie was a brakeman for
years on the Logansport division.
We are all Pennsylvania people
The hand-cars and speeders cause
her the greatest anxiety. They are
on the crossing almost before she
has time to get out with the stop
pole. But in all these years Of serv-
ice she never has had an accident.
Likes Cold Weather
Cold weather. she likes 1t better
than summer and boasts that the
only time she caught cold was when
she bundled too heavy with 1annels
the first season.
A coal stove provides ample
warmth in the winter. In summer
there is tulip garden that borders
the track and is tended by Irvington
citizens.
Seven fast passenger trains pass
daily on her track. She knows their
names and points with pride to the
American and the Lindbergh coach.
Reading is barred by the rules,
so when time hangs heavy Mrs.
Kennedy nibbles her lunch. She
brings enough eatables to last the
day out and attributes her flesh to
the fact that she eats so much "just
to pass the time away"
Her only worry is that they may
install signal lights and abolish her
splendid position. She enjoys it.
