One of Governor Scott's top political appointees has joined)the camp of William B- Um stead to.the latter’s race'for Gov erned That constitutes something of-a rebuff to Scott, shfilf ha has publicly urged his top adminstra tion staff to ge along with #im to support of Hubert's. OBve. The man Who created the first crack in Scotty latest political wall is Dr. T. C. Johnson, commis sioner of paroles. Johnson plans to continue in his present post un less Scott asks for his resigna tion or fires him, since the ap oolntment is for a term that can be terminated at the Governor’s pleasure. FIRING NOT LIKELY It Is not likely that Scott win fire Johnson, however, for he has made it clear he does not plan to embark noon any such policy. He has said that out of loyalty, all kev appointees should string along with him, for he believes Olive will come closer to continuing his “Go Forward program. Scott has in sisted. toq. that no pressure be put on anv State employe to line up with any particular candidate. Johnson ian’t Ukelv to contribute much direct Influence In Umstead’s behalf, however. He himself has been on the pan bn occasions to the handling of paroles. , Johnson hasn’t gone so far as to issue a public statement on his Umstead »filiation, nor has Um stead publicly welcomed him. A source close to TTmatptd said. how-, ever, that Johnson ‘had written Scot.t of his sten. As far as can be ascertained. Scott- has not ac knowlede»d *h» totter.
