County Dads Move Behind
Iron Curtain of Secrecy
By BOB AXELSON
Drawing a calculated veil of secrecy around the people's
right to know, Orange County commissioners late yesterday
afternoon emphatically declared a policy of executive sessions
with press and" public barred.
®*'>Qarifieation of future policy was sought by The Orange
J Tp------------f--,Leader following two attempt-
/ Cu«aoSaJ ed closed-door meetings yes-
terday afternoon and morning
!in the office of County Judge
Charlie G. Grooms. In both in-
stances when reporters entered
the room, the conferences were
broken up and commissioners
left.
When Judge Grooms was asked.
“What goes on?’’ he summoned
uk tall of the commissioners for a
ed trank discussion and expression
of opinion late yesterday after-
noon. In the presence of an Or-
ange Leader reporter-and County
Auditor James F. Houlihan, com-
missioners stated, “We have noth-
ing‘to hide.” On the other hand,
all were in favor of retiring be-
hind locked doors to discus? busi-
ness and arrive at decisions which
affect both the county voter and
his pdcketbook
Nobody's Business
‘ After we get through discuss-
ing it and arriving at decisions,
we will be glad to call in reporters
and tell them what we do.« We
don’t want Ahem present when
we’re reaching these decisions.
One man's opinion may have the
effect of changing a fellow com-
missioner's mind," Commissioner
Harold Carter said.
Collectively speaking, the coun-
1y dads took the position that it
was “none of The Orange Leader’s

sioner cleaned out hiS desk and
made preparations to leave Or-
ange. In his resignation, he made
' It effective April 1.
Last night the- departing city
manager said. ‘1 am certainly
grateful for the cooperation ex-
tended to me by the residents of
Orange and the municipal em-
ployes. I certainly couldn’t have
received a more satisfactory re-
sponse. I also want to express my
thanks to everyone who has gone
out of bls way to assist me in the
tedious transition to the manager-
rommission form of government.”
Wolf added,"’"It i« with regret

hour-long questions of two col-

Auditor Reports
On Secret Session
In a closed door session today,
county commissioners, in confer-
ence with Dist. Judge Homer E
Stephenson, made an administra-
tive change in the method of hand-
ling court child support funds.
This report of their activities
was telephoned to The Leader
shortly before 1 p.m. today by
the county auditor, James F. Hou-
lihan, apparently acting as spokes-
man fort the commissioners court.
There were no reporters present
during the conference and the of-
ficials remained closeted for more
than an hour. They went into ses-
sion at 10:45 a m.
Because of the fact that this was
an “iron curtain” session, The Or-
ange Leader cannot vouch for the
authenticity of this report.
However, according to Houlihan,
it is the intent of the court to
employ Mrs. Grace Smith effective
tomorrow to take over the cus-
todianship of this fund which
averages around $66,000 annually.
She replaces T. M. Dodd, former
district court clerk who has re-
