Somebody Plays Politics In Banklick Row, Charge State Purchase Probe Witness Lauds Talbott State Commissioner Of Health Praises Finance Chief BY C. W.
BAILEY Kentucky Post Frankfort Bureau FRANKFORT, Oct. The Purchasing Investigation Committee continued today to cover a wide variety of topics, including the commissioner honesty of of J. finance, Dan to affidavits from others that they would not believe statements of a former witness before the committee. Other developments included: Charges by J. Howard Henderson, Louisville, that the state paid $1.95 pair shoes when it might have procured shoes of the same grade and quality for prices of from $1.44 to $1.60, according to bids submitted by competing houses.
The claim by Rosenstein Frankfort retailers, that the shoes quality similar shoes sold the state in measured, manufacturers in the same price range. Charge Denied A claim by Robert J. Ball, Louisville, Republican candidate for mayor, that an electrical supply salesman had told him all the state's electrical business had to be billed through a "Mr. Gold" (either Goldberg or some other name to which the prefix "Gold" was attached), even though the merchandise never was handled by the latter. The charge was promptly denied by the salesman mentioned by Mr.
Ball. Attorney General Hubert Meredith read into the record a "summation" of an auditor's report which reiterated, when bids were submitted by a Memphis chemical concern, there in fact no competitive bidding. Praise of Mr. Talbott came from Dr. Arthur T.
McCormack, state commissioner of health, who told profusely of the many virtues Mr. Talbott possessed. "His is the very soul of honor, and like many other public men I know, his only fault, if it be one, is that he has aided every worthy endeavor, helped those in need and otherwise acted the part of the good samaritan," said Dr. McCormack. Quite Lavish The doctor's testimonial was the most lavish yet uttered.
Mr. Talbott's virtues were simply unending, according to the doctor, who reviewed Mr. Talbott's career in public life covering many years. Mr. Henderson reiterated claims of last week that the state had not obtained the best business transaction possible.
He read from bills submitted by various firms which offered shoes of the same when grade the for state prices averaging $1.59, actually paid the Rosenstein firm $1.95 a pair. Wolfe G. Rosenstein, member of the Rosenstein Bros. firm, declared that he had submitted bids on shoes during the past three years; that he had taken options to purchase merchandise at given prices, and frankly told the committee: "I'm in business to make money." Shows Letter He produced a letter from the concern from which he procured shoes-that its policy was not to bid on governmental accounts. He also maintained that his bid of $1.95 a pair for shoes was in line for shoes of similar grade and type for which higher bids were submitted by others.
Mr. Meredith renewed his criticism of the state's policy in purchasing disinfectants from a Memphis concern with a long written statement which was read into the record. Mr. Talbott produced affidavits from four Paducah residents who claimed that James Cambron, witness who testified last week of his failure to interest the Purchasing Division in a cheaper soap and disinfectant line, was himself unworthy of belief and cited instances of his (Cambron's) borrowing money from each without repaying his benefactors.

Mr. Tuccinardi said: "The attacks against the refinery have been periodic and seem to grow more intense right around election time. The refining company has made every effort to co-operate with the public in abating any nuisance, spending many thousands of dollars in the last 12 years to improve conditions at the plant.

Discusses Record He continued: "I have been associated with this group for the past five years, and within the five years, with our bats and clubs, and the city commissioners, we have secured for the city of Covington 14 playgrounds, something that Covington has never had nor heard about. Recently I have heard and have been reading about the odors of. Banklick Creek, which, to my memory, this club has been fighting with the city government and commissioners for the past 10 years or more.
"It comes to my attention, and I have made surveys in the past month, that the present city commissioners are trying and doing all in their power to eliminate the odor of this said Banklick Creek. I am not playing politics, and I don't want any member of this organization think that I am playing politics, but I want to state that somebody is playing politics, and I don't mean the Men's Club or the Board of City Commissioners. "Criticism Unjust" "The criticism in the newspapers unjust, uncalled for and is nothing more than political propaganda. When I read the papers--and people are going from door to door telling neighbors that there's only a hole large enough to bury a dog -when I had myself, in the presence of the fourth vice president of the club, visited this work and find that they have a hole 12 feet by 12 feet and 20 feet deep, and I understand through the visit this afternoon that the steel, pumps, pipe and the motors are at hand, I don't see where or why our present commissioners should be criticized, because when they took office they had no money to spend for any kind of improvement, and they have only been in office not quite two years, and, as I said before, we have playgrounds, we have streets and our park improvements are much better than ever in the past 25 years, and something is being done about Banklick Creek.
