men Monday established qualify-
ing dates and fees for the city
elections in October. .
The board adopted the pro-

nance Committee and City Clerk
Jimmy Little. The City Execu-
tive Committee last week en-
dorced the proposals.
The quatifying time for the
candidates will be 8:15 a.m. to

months’ salary. They are mayor,
$5,000; vice mayor, $1,400; alder-
man, $1,200, and school board
member, $600.
| At the end of Monday’s alder-
manic session, Alderman Eve-
rett Millican a candidate for |
mayor, spoke critically about
remarks made over the weekend
by Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. and
former Police Patrolman James
McKinney, now a candidate for
the board from the Third Ward.
Referring to Allen’s com: |
merits about Millican’s age on |
a television program Sunday |
night, he (Millican) said, “Tm |
know that. Yesterday, someone
said how old I'd be when I got
out. That's the first time I’ve
heard it in reverse. I’ve only
got one foot in the grave.”
| Allen had noted in summing
up ithe qualifications of the
candidates that Millican would
be more than 75 at the end of
-his first term if elected. Millican
didn’t name the mayor, but left
no doubt as to whom he was re- |
iferring.
{CHALLENGES
{ Then Millican sharply criti-
cized McKinney for the former |
policeman’s remarks on a radio |
program Saturday. Millican said
McKinney “lambasted and
abused” the mayor, the alder-
men and the Police department
as “‘erooks.””
Millican said that if McKin-
ney knew of any wrongdoing,
he should go to the grand jury
“and I'll help him. . . If not, he
ought to keep his mouth shut.”
Millican then said he under-
stoed that Mrs. Eliza Paschall,
who was ousted as director of
the Community Relations Com-
mission more than a year ago,
was one of McKinney’s “main
campaign managers.”
