Trying To Get
Dodgen Fired
VERNON (AP) - State Rep. (
W S Heatly of Paducah accused
recently of trying to get Game
and Fish Commission director
Howard Dodgen fired, said Tues-
day he has aided Texas' game,
and fish progress.
Speaking to a Vernon civic dub. '
Heatly answered charges made
July 12 at the commission's last
meeting by Frank Wood of Wich-!
ita Falls, outgoing member. |
"Apparently Mr. Wood was dis-
appointed over passage of the bill i
merging the Game and Fish Com-
mission with the Parks Board.'
probably because it meant he
would retire from a position of
which he was very proud," Het-
ly said. /
"But I didn’t sponsor the legis-
lation. It was recommended by I
the governor. F Voted for it, along
with more than 100 other House
members, because it appeared to!
be a logical move
"But in order to show I was not
hostile to the Game Commission,
the House Appropriations Com-
mittee. of which I was chairman,
gave the biggest increase to this:
service it had received in many
years, making possible a merited
increase in salaries of wardens
and other employes.”
Wood had accused Heatly and
Rep. Terry Townsend, from Bra-
dy, of pushing the bill to get rid
of Dodgen, the present executive
director.
Townsend said earlier he re-
gretted Wood’s statement
