Mull Not Seeking Gov Hoey Posts Despite Rumor
Odus Mull, Shelby lawyer and industrialist, is not expected to receive a major appointment from Governor Clyde R. Hoey. Observers close to the governor say Mull is unlikely to be named chair of the State Highway and Public Works Commission or to join the budget bureau, citing past criticism of the so-called Shelby dynasty and Mull’s own ambivalence about a high post. Mull previously served as commissioner of paroles under C. Max Gardner, a job he resigned from to run mills in Shelby.
