Don Marsh reports C. Robert Sarver, named director of field activities, left the job to back Jim Sprouse in the governor race. Sarver’s exit follows Gov. Hulett Smith’s decision not to reinstate him, while Randall’s Oregon prison role and a grand jury review complicate matters in West Virginia. The legality of the director’s degree requirement from the correction act remains under review by Atty. Gen. Robertson.

Thaw Joins Campaign of Sprouse in West Virginia
William P. Thaw, state Kenendy for President campaign chair in West Virginia, joins James M. Sprouse’s staff as an advance man in the field. Thaw, mayor of Sistersville, rose from Kennedy campaign director in West Virginia to a national role and helped plan Kennedy’s funeral details at the Lincoln Memorial. The measure sparks questions over required qualifications for a correction director and prompts a legislative subcommittee probe into the state correction division.
