Bob Dennis was elected to fill another. When Dennis was elected his close runner-up was Terrell, who is known to have been considered a candidate to fill an earlier vacancy on the board. Terrell is to take office 30 days after her appointment and to serve until the unexpired term ends March 1.

1977. The appointment could be changed, however, if a petition carrying signatures of 5 of the voters in the last school district election is filed within 30 days calling for a special election. Faist was the last of an old guard of school board members who held office for many years until a number of phenomena occurred in the city, one of them being racial change. Terrell is the first black to hold a major position in a city that is between one-third and one-half black and other minority population. "Each council member has three appointees who serve on city committees.

Will the council majority go along and remove whoever they wish?" Branstine says he voted to remove George "because she failed to work within the system. "She never came to us when she wanted to make a point She never told us she thought we were wrong. We would read her complaints in a letter to the editor or hear about them from someone else. It's hard to work effectively with someone who won't even sit down with you and discuss the issues." Continued from First Page I did anything wrong. As a private citizen, I spoke my mind.

The board has named Jo Evelyn Terrell a candidate in the last district election, to fill the vacancy.

Instruments IFU2M1 Controversial Police Chief Resigns Post Continued from First Page lost some control of department personnel and that some detectives "use time to plan against the chief." The four-page report, delivered to Cochee in March, was not publicly released. The Times published its contents after it obtained copies of the document That's good news," said Buckner when told about Cochee's resignatioa "I think it's because of the report he asked for. They (the county commission) are the ones that brought it all out I had my opinion all along. I just wasnt happy.

That's not a personal indictment of Cochee," he said. TU never be happy with the Police Department as long as we have a high crime rate. And I'll have that same attitude when the new chief, whoever he will be, comes oa" Said Councilman Walter Tucker. "Such is life. He probably has a better job I dont know.

"I know there were some displeasures about his job. And the report I've said some of the same things myself. "But I dont want to be judge and jury. If he feels it's best for the city, I'm glad to see he's made the decision himself and I wish him the best" Mayor Doris Davis said Cochee's resignation came as a surprise, adding: "Personally, I'm very sorry to lose the services of Chief Cochee. During the last three years he has performed admirable services to our community, and I am going to miss him personally very much.

"I wish him well. He was a fine man, with empathy for young people. He was a real community man."

The velvet glove approach simply didnt work," said one high-ranking officer. "We need a strong law enforcement officer as chief one who will come down hard on criminals." Cochee acknowledged the challenge of the job when he was hired in 1973.

In the foreword to the book "Ghetto Cops," an account of the activities of the Compton Police Department written by a friend last year, Cochee wrote: "When I came here I figured that Compton was one of the 10 most difficult police chiefs jobs in the nation. I still believe that to be the case."

Lim moved quickly to fire several top aides.

He also transferred Cochee from the chief's office to "special assignment" in the city manager's office to evaluate federal programs related to the Police Department an action seen by some as the first step by Lim to fire Cochee.
