Trice said the advanced age
of many officials was causing
some younger employes to leave
for private jobs. Trice said it
was particularly hard to find
engineers.
Two top highway officials
have already resigned because
of the new policy—Robert H.
Bennett, who headed special
projects, and Charles Marmel
stein, head of the bridge con
struction division. The top offi
cer affected is state highway
engineer M. L. Shadburn, who
will be allowed to stay through
the end of the year.
All of the top men forced out
are long-time friends of Gillis.
