PAGE FOURTEEN G. P. MAYOR QUITS AFTER BRIEF AND W. E. Moore Tenders Re signation Councilman J K. Manuel Acting Mayor. Grantf Pin, July 31 (JP Joe Wharton, sporting good! dealer and long active In local civic affairs, today was third Grants Pass mayor In five months. W. E. Moore, elected by the council In March to fill the va cancy left by the death of James A. Slover, resigned Wednesday night. Wharton was elected by the council Thursday afternoon. Grants Pass, July SI. (Spl.) W. E. Moore, mayor of Grants Pass since March, resigned at a special council meeting Wednes day night. Outlining his conception of the civilian defense program to include full authority of the mayor over all departments of city government, he said he was unable to realize his alms and therefore retired. Moore has been a member of the county defense council, ap pointed by the governor, by virtue of his position as mayor. A vote four to one accepted the resignation. In his short administration since his election by the council to fill the vacancy left by the death of James A. Slover, Moore has had a turbulent administr' tion. A month ago he secured the resignation ot Police Chief Ben Graybill and placed Homer Grable, fire chief, on probation, charging they sought to influ ence the council toward a pay increase. Graybill said the dis pute was over making reports. Moore also was involved in a dispute with Councilman Sam McConnell about authority in direction of the fire department. McConnell is chairman of the fire committee. Last week he asked the coun cil to grant him the right to supervise and question employes subversive to or critical of civil ian defense or the city adminis tration. The council shelved the proposal at that time and did not bring it up again Wednesday night. EL Rochester, N. Y.
