Davis Services Friday Services for former Akron Service Director Marvin L. Davis, 78, will be at 11:30 a. m. Friday in the Fairchild funeral home, Fort 1 Lauderdale, Fla.
Burial will be in Lauderdale Memorial cemetery. Mr. Davis died Wednesday in Broward General Medical Center, Fort Lauderdale after a short illness. Mr. Davis served 10 years in that position in Mayor Charles E.
Slusser's cabinet. During his term as service director, the original plans were made for the current expressway system. FOUR YEARS after he took office, in 1947, he and B. E. "Shorty" Fulton, Akron municipal airport manager, battled over the transfer of commercial airline operations from Municipal Airport to the then new and larger AkronCanton Field.
The battle against the move was before a Civil Aeronautics Board. During his last years in office, controversy was raised when an investigation revealed that Mr. Davis owned 20 shares of Orr-Thomas Oil Co. stock and that virtually all of the city's gasoline business during the late '40s and early '50s had gone to that same company. He transfered the stock to his wife Maureen C.
after the illegality of his ownership was called to attention by a state examiner at City Hall. DAVIS SAID at the time of the controversy that he had bought the stock when the firm was organized and before the city did any business with them. He also said that mistakes might have been made in awarding contracts to. OrrThomas. He also said that contracts were made to the lowest bidder.
Before becoming service director he had been head of the civil engineering department at Firestone for many years. He also served as service director under Mayor Russell Bird. A YEAR after leaving Akron, he was appointed area engineering manager for the first leg of the Florida turnpike. He also was chief engineer for the remainder of the five-year project which takes the turnpike from Miami, to the Georgia state line. A native of Chincoteague Island, he leaves, in addition to his wife, a brother, Sid- Gunshot Victim's Services Friday Services for gunshot victim, Mrs.

Prohibition Figure Rocco Polichena, 76 RAVENNA Rocco Paul Polichena, 76, convicted three times of prohibition era violations, died Tuesday at Robinson Memorial Hospital after a long illness.
During the 1930s Polichena was arrested five times for violating the national prohibition law. Described as a leader of a Portage County-centered bootlegging ring, he only went to prison once for liquor law violations, He was sentenced to 22 months in Leavenworth in 1932. In 1936 he was found guilty on a charge of tax evasion but was acquitted of three counts of liquor law conspiracy. He was tagged by newspapers during the '30s as owner and operator of the "Red Parrot Resort" on W. Highland st.
and other illicit taverns in Portage County. Born in Calabria, Italy, Polichena came to America in 1913 and arrived in Ravenna a year later.

Pastor Wins Primary HARTFORD (P) The Rev. Joseph Duffey, soft 38-year-old national chairman of Americans for Democratic Action and son of a West Virginia coal miner, has won a three-way primary to become the Democratic candidate for U.S. senator from Connecticut.

Cars Sold To Police WASHINGTON The Ford Motor with evidence that the front wheels of vehicles sold for police use have fallen out of place while in motion, recalled 85,000 of the cars Wednesday. A possible defect was discovered in the lower control arms on full-size Ford and Mercury models sold over the past five years. The lower control arms, crucial for safety because they hold the wheels in place, are on each side of the front end.
Secretary of Transportation John A. Volpe requested the recall after a five-month investigation by the National Highway Safety Bureau (NHSB). FORD WOULD not give an estimate of the cost of the recall. However, the lower con- Bus Bursts Into Flames trol I arms reportedly at $33.50 each, which means the cost of the recall could exceed $5 million excluding labor. The Safety Burea's investigation included examination of 504 vehicles.
Both police and non-police cars were used, although NHSB did not know the exact breakdown. IN THIS investigation, 90 control arm failures were found. These were in three model years, 1967, 1968 and 1969. Fifty-three of the failures were in police pursuit cars mostly Ford Custom, Custom 500 and Mercury Monterey models. The NHSB said six million vehicles were made with the same type of control arms that failed.
Chief Somers said department uses three 1970 Ford cruisers. He said the department has had trouble with the steering in all three cars. Somers blamed oil leaks from steering boxes for the difficulties. Study Moths On Night Walk The trapping and study of moths will be the object of a night walk at 8:30 Friday at the F. A.

OPEN WEEKDAYS PALM Cal. (P) An old school bus converted into a travel home proved a death trap when a propane gas tank exploded and burned the vehicle to the ground, taking six lives, three of them Ohioans.

David Paul Bruce, 22, of San Bernadino, said he was traveling east toward Indio on Interstate 10 when "this old bus came over the hill with fire pouring out all its windows." THE emergency exit was useless, he said, because a motorcycle was strapped securely across the rear of the vehicle.
