provided a sizzling platter for the
hottest political controversy since
the Inauguration of Gov. Charles
A. Sprague rumored replace
ment Of Charles 2. Pray as super
intendent Of state police.
At Salem, Gov. Sprague main
tanned policy of silence in the
matter, again refusing to confirm
or deny reports that Pray's job
is insecure. However, some po-
litical observers chose TO inter
pref the governors silence, coupled
with his reception of pleas for
Pray's retention. as confirmation
OF the custer rumors.
Pray's term expires July 81 at
midnight, and Sprague said late
yesterday no announcement would
be made until that time.
Although leaders of organized
labor denied the existence of any
deal" providing for Pray's re-
moval. rumors persisted that the
governor might fire Pray-a fellow
Republican-to repay the Amer
lean Federation of Labor for its
support of his candidacy. Labor
is known to be hostile to Pray
for his use of the state police in
the suppression of strikes during
the term of former Gov Charles
Fl. Martin
