No Busing Here by Kanawha Klansmen oppose school busing

Appeal Rejected Promoting Charleston Police 17 Officers
The State Supreme Court refused an appeal by the Charleston Police Civil Service Commission, allowing 17 Charleston Police Department members to be promoted. Lt. Raymond Spradling becomes captain, three sergeants are promoted to lieutenants, and 13 officers advance to patrolman first class. Public Safety Director Lawrence Congues said promotions proceed and the city may seek 13 more patrolman first class positions while retirements reduce overall numbers. The dispute arose when rules for promotions were changed without city council approval. Current method uses efficiency ratings, written and physical tests, with points for tenure, divided by five.
