Reveals Whitney Asked to Quit Previous Job Pantograph Wire Services WIGHT A state senator Friday offered to an investigating committee a letter saying Miss Doris Whitney, superintendent of the Dwight State Reformatory for Women, was asked to resign from her last position. The Illinois state welfare director, however, said her resigna tion was forced because of poll tics. fctate sen. Fred J. Hart (R, Streator) offered a letter from a Blake Gillies, superintendent of we Detroit.

House of Cor rection at Plymouth, to a state senate committee investiga ting operations of the Dwight Re formatory. "Lacked Ability" Miss Whitney was the head of tne Women's Division in the Mich igan institution from Oct. 20, 1347 to Aug. 15, 1949. In his letter.

Gillies sain Miss Whitney "lacked the ability, tem perament, and experience neces sary to carry out her duties satis factorily." He said "It was suggested that she resign which she did." Fred H. Hoehler, stat director of the public welfare who was called as a witness before the three-man committee, said Miss Whitney was forced to resign from the Detroit institution because of politics. He said she re fused to employ Gillies' son in the institution. Hoehler said John C. Dancy.

a member of the board of trustees at the Detroit House of Correct ion, had recommended Miss Whitney and called the trouble with Gillies a political row. The Department of Welfare ex ecutive said Gov.

A. Von Ruden of Chenoa, a Democratic state central com mitteeman and a dentist employed at the Dwight reformatory, tes tified in a closed session after a brief period of open testimony. He told committee members he was reluctant to testify before newspapermen. Von Ruden had brought up "hearsay" testimony that Miss Whitney, Hoehler, and guard Captain Michael Lee Burns had engaged in a drinking party, but Hoehler denied it. Hoehler called the story a "deliberate lie," and said he had had but one drink at the Dwight institution and that was when he had felt ill.

Miss Beatrice Spandet of Dwight member of the board of directors of the Geneva Training School for Girls, testified that a waitress had told her Miss Doris Whitney visited a Pontiac tavern two or three times a week with a man who had a "strange accent." Names Informant Mrs. Spandet, a member of the county Democratic central committee, testified she was told this April 4, 1950, by Mrs. Robert Travcrs.

Andrew McGee, Dwight physician, earlier testified that Reformatory Warden Mona Harris did not require surgery after an attack by one of the inmates. The investigation was started after the attack was made puo lie. The committee will report to the state senate before May 1. PAMSY PLANTS NOW READY MAPLEW00D GREENHOUSES 301 E.
