M'CARDLE MAY
SIDESTEP ON
insults CASE
Public Service Commission
Chairman Is Likely to
Dodge Criticism.
ELLIS MAY GET TASK
Assignment of Merger AC-
ton Is Expected Late
Today.

Assignment of the $70,000,000
proposed insult utility merger case.
pending for months before the pub
lice service commission, is expected
to be made late today at COM
mission conference by Chairman
John w. McCardle.
When McCardle was reappointed
for his fourth term by Governor
Harry G.. Leslie last week and
elected chairman to succeed Com
missioner Frank L. Singleton, it was
reported that he would probably
assign the merger case to himself
He is looked upon with great favor
by the insult interests and most all
utility men agree that he has the
so-called utility viewpoint"
Feustel Visits StatehOuse
But Thursday Robert Feustel, Ft.
Wayne utility magnate and one of
the new insult chiefs in Indiana,
visited the StatehouSe. He is a per-
sonal friend of the Governor.
Governor Leslie was out of the
city when he called, however, SO he
went to the fourth floor and con-
ferred with McCardle.
1t was then rumored that Nc
Cardle is not likely to assign the
case to himself but shunt it to Com
missioner Howell Ellis, younger
member, and thus allay criticism
that might attach to McCardle's
handling it.
Up to Ellis or M'Intosh
AS chairman, Singleton assigned
the case to Harvey Harmon, who
was replaced by Leslie appointing
Jere West, Charlottesville. Had he
remained chairman Singleton said
he would have let Harmon's sue
ceSSor handle it.
West asserts that he is disin-
clined to accept the case because of
his ineXperience.
In the meantime, McCardIe has
all of the papers in his office, hav-
ing taken charge of them when
Harmon left.
Singleton is unlikely to be con-
sidered in the case assignment and
the only remaining commissioners
are Ellis and Calvin Mcintosh.

is marked for removal in sweep
ing reorganization of the division,
was the report at the StatehouSe to-
day.
The post is under the control of
the highway commission, which ap-
proved Manloves dismissal of two
of his departmental heads Wednes-
day, strengthening the opinion that
all is not well in his department.
The discharge of H. A. Hitzel-
berger, purchasing agent in the mo-
tor transport division for four years,
and Fred r. Huddleston, auditor
for two years and a half, revived
stories Of unecOnomiCal manage
ment and unfairness in the purchase
OF thousands Of dollars of auto parts
Under Manlove's direction.
Boiling Made Assistant
While no appointments have been
made to the motor transport posts.
word leaked out that Owen S. Boil
ing, secretary Of the state tax board,
has been named assistant to John
j. Brown, highway director. The
post is newly created.
The commission accepted Man
loves charges of characterization
and approved the discharge of Hud-
dleston and Hitzelberger. withouS
inquiring into their work, it was UNI
derstood, and without a hearing.
Neither had anything to say on
his removal
From other sources, however, it
was learned that Manloves policy
OF buying parts to replenish the di-
visions $1000,000 stock, which has
a rapid turnover, had engendered
the hostility of part manufacturers
and distributors throughout the,
state
When bids were asked only on
new materials, at least one Indian
apolis dealer in used parts repeated
ly has submitted bids on used parts
and been awarded contracts while
other bidders are alleged to have
had no opportunity to bid on used
equipment.
Probe Contemplated
Protest has been carried to the
highway commission, it is known,
and an investigation is contem-
plated.
AS purchasing agent, Hitzelberger
was said to have born the brunt
of complaints which became so
vehement that Attorney General
James M, Ogden took cognizance
of the matter.
HuddIeston, experienced in bank
ing inauagurated an accounting
system in the highway garage that
disclosed uneconomical management
Neither he nor Hitzelberger, it is
said, has been conspicuously active
politically.

Brown said that increased &C
tivitieS of the department, made
possible by the 1-cent gasoline tax
increase, necessitated an assistant

This lumber laden freighter sank
close beside its wharf in Mobile

raise the vessel, Morgan has made
more than two hundred diving trips
in surveys, inspections, cxamina-

underwater work on the submerged
vessel. Since October. 1927. when
he was first employed on the job.
Morgan has put in approximately
$50 diving days. going down twice
or more many days.
The steamer has been lifted eight
or ten feet recently by hydraulic
pressure by the use of jacks and
cables after massive steel girders
were extended across the bow and
stern from the wharf to clusters of
piling driven on the outer edge Of
the vessel. Progress was halted
when it became necessary to re-
fasten the rear cable, which lost
its grip when the rudder apparatus
to which it was attached broke away.
Previously two wrecking crews
had tried unsuccessfully to dislodgc
the sunken vessel from the watery
berth it has occupied for more than
three years.
