PHENIX.CITY, Ala. —Phenix | City voters who once felt the clam-} my grip of racketeer rule elect a new city commissioner today un- der the protective guns of watch- ing National Guard troops. And during the day, a racket- busting grand jury ending a two- week recess was to resume its in- vestigation of widespread vote frauds in another election, the Democratic primary last May. Guardsmen, part of the military|- |force that has taken over law en- | forcement in once-wicked Phenix City under limited martial law, were assigned to, patrol each of |the city’s 11 voting places from 8 a.m. When the polls opened until they close at 6 p.m. They were ordered there by Gov. Gordon Persons to show “the rest of Alabama and the nation that Phenix City can have an hon- est election.” - Only one seat on the three-man city commission was at stake, that of the veteran Commissioner A. L. Gullatt who declined to seek re- election. Mayor Elmer Reese and Dr. Seth Floyd, the other two members, hold over. Reese is already under grand jury indictment for wilful neglect of duty because of the wide open gambling which flourished in the notorious Chattahoochee River “"” Nat'l Guard To Wateh As Phenix City Votes For Coaiiasoney dens in the lush days before the slaying of crime-buster A.
