Allen Winner in Opening Action Against City Officials
Forrest Allen, ex service man, filed a mandamus suit to force city officials to name Charles McGill to the post. Judge D W Jackson overruled the defense motion to dismiss in district court.

If the soldiers preference law applies, the city must prove qualifications. if not, those facts must be pleaded in answer.
