JURY FOREMAN
DEMANDS Cash
FOR VOTE QUIZ
Fitch and Councilman Dunn
Clash Over Appeal for
More Money.
DELAY ON $4,000 PLEA
Criticism Voiced of Fight for
Control by Stark and
Collins.

Charges that the Marion county
Grand jury probe into election cor
ruption has been hampered serious
ly because of lack of funds were
hurled at the county council to-
day by Charles G. Fitch, grand jury
foreman.
Summoned before the council to
explain the jury's request for $4,000
to carry the probe to an end, Fitch
withstood a barrage of criticism by
Councilman Paul Dunn to retort
that 'the interests of the people OF
this county can not be served unless
the jury is given funds"
The appropriation request was
prepared by the jury shortly after
Earl r. Cox entered the probe as
special prosecutor and was not
made with intention of paying a
prosecutors fee, Fitch said.
Fitch and Dunn Clash
After a heated argument between
Dunn and Fitch, an agreement was
reached TO- delay appropriation OF
any funds until the probe ends.
Fitch indicated the present grand
jury will leave the investigation I'M
finished when 1t is discharged
June 80.
If that is the case, the probe prob
ably will be resumed by a new jury,
Criticism of the fight for grand
jury control between Criminal Judge
James A.. Collins and Prosecutor
Judson L. Stark, which later led to
unseating Of Stark at the jury'S re-
quest, was branded a ridiculous
circumstance" by Dunn.
"Why should this council appro-
pirate and waste county funds for
special prosecutor when there are
thirty-odd deputies working under
Stark" Dunn asked.
Not for Prosecutor Fees
Fitch answered the money was not
asked to pay prosecutors fees.
1.-The grand jury has been stripped
of all funds, and we haven't q penny
to do anything with" he said. THAT
a court of this kind is asked to
function in the interests of the
people without money is an in
credibility. When we began our
probe, our first step was to figure
out how we could act without
money"
Fitch withheld any information
as to the course of action pursued
in that circumstance, declaring it
was not his privilege as a juror to
reveal workings of the body. He
said, however, that in the three
weeks Cox has been in the jury
chambers, more than 200 witnesses
have been questioned.
Fitch criticised newspaper &C
counts of the fight for jury control
between Stark and Collins, term
mating it dangerous and Sc
rious charge" He attempted to
explain the real reason" for ask
ing appointment of special prose-
cutor, but was interrupted by
Dunn.
Cow Goes Dry
The latter volunteered that the
council sis willing to do everything
possible to help the investigation"
That's funny" Dunn said, and
turning to Fitch brought the con-
ference to an end with the remark,
We'll, Fitch, I want you to know
this: The COW that James A. Col
Inns has MIXED for twenty years
has gone dry"
Immediately afterward, the coun-
Gil adjourned without definite action
on appropriation requests for about
100000 in funds to finance county
government in anticipation of fall
taxes. The session will be resumed
Thursday.

Thousands of fish are dying in

The condition exists chiefly be-

Responsibility in government Is an issue In the
closing weeks Of the campaign that will not down.
1t is the paramount issue and the voters OF Texas
should settle it by their ballots on Saturday, Aug 70.
It concerns the future Of Texas.
It concerns the economic development OF Texas and
Texans who are for continuous peace and prosperity
and progressive development Of the commonwealth.
Responsibility in government calls for honesty in
government. efficiency in government. justice IN
government. recognition Of the rights OF all, the
mighty or the humble in a purse sense at all times
BY the servants OF the people.
A government Is just as honest as is head. It Is
5ust as rotten as its head. 1t is just as inefficient as
Its head.
Men are accidents or incidents. Principles and in
situations and laws Of the commonwealth are every
thing. A vote for responsible government is a vote
for Texas.
A vote for responsible government is a vote for
homes and efficient government and Texas should
be given that brand Of government at all times.
According TO the official record. there are 1.225.ooo
qualified voters under the skies Of Texas. A bird in
the hand is said to be worth two birds in the bush.
"A ballot in the box Is worth 100 in the brush.
The plain English OF this IS that the total vote in
the August finals should go above $4,000. This will
smash all records and the verdict will consign a lot
or political driftwood to the Dead Sea Of Oblivion.
