And Schuhmann told him, "There is a statute, and it's a strong one." Asked if he plans to introduce a motion for Donio's demotion, Jenkins said, "I don't know. I want to talk to the grand jury first, to see what they have to say." Donio sat through, the meeting, wearing his police uniform for what he said was the first time since a Bicentennial parade in 1976.

"The council asked me to wear it to meetings," he said. "And I think it does look better." what he' thought of the discussion about his demotion or dismissal, he said, "It's only one councilman talking." Jenkins asked for the change in the entertainment-permit ordinance because "I just thought it was odd that the police do it," he said. "If it does come out in the grand jury that they were handled wrong, and I don't know that they, were, then we'll be in a better position to deal with it" On paper, the change simply says the permits will be issued by the city of Shively instead of by the Shively Police Department. The change will probably mean that applications will be taken at City Hall, and records will be kept there, instead of at the police station, Mayor John Burks said. Jenkins, Jerry Seelbach, James R.

Humphreys and Richard "Bud" Smith voted for the ordinance change; J. Thomas Yunt, Fred Ober-neir and Effinger voted against it. J. Emmett Nash was absent. Shively Police Sgt.

John Patterson, who has been in charge of the permits, said he has issued 391 of them since the ordinance was enacted in 1979. That year, he said, he found that one or two girls had lied on their applications, and he revoked the permits because they were underage. Since then, he said, he hasn't revoked even one permit for that By JOEL BRINKLEY and HUNT HELM Cwrtor-Joumal Stiff Writers For the second week in a row, the Shively City Council listened last night to a detailed discussion of the legal procedures for demoting or firing Police Chief Michael J. Donio. The council also voted 4-3 to take from the police department the responsibility for issuing permits to employees of Shively's strip joints.

Now the permits will be issued at Shively City Hall. Carrying photocopies of state statutes to a caucus before the meeting. Councilman Jim Jenkins asked City Attorney George S. Schuhmann to explain how the state's various civil-service laws apply to Donio. Schuhmann said that, as chief, Donio is not covered by civil-service And that means the council can vote to demote him, if it has just cause and uses due process, Schuhmann explained.

But because Donio picked up civil-service status while serving as a captain on the force during the 1960s, Schuhmann said, the council can't remove him from the force altogether unless it files official charges and holds a hearing. The same topic was on the minds of the councilmen when they met in closed session last week. At that meeting, Jenkins said, there was "some conversation expressing desire that he (Donio) step down." And Jenkins said he told other councilmen, "I feel it's time he step down." No other council member has said that publicly, and Jenkins wouldn't say how many others agreed with him. No charges have been filed against Donio, and the council has taken no steps to remove him. But in the open session after that conversation last week.

Stumbo needs backing to become real And last week The Courier-Journal interviewed a woman who said she worked as a dancer and a prostitute in several Shively bars for four years, starting at age 16. She didn't get a permit until she was 20.

Of the change, Donio and Patterson said, half-joking, that the record keeping is a lot of work and they're glad to be rid of it. challenge partment and into the role of full-time candidate as soon as possible. Stumbo said earlier this month that he's likely to leave before the Nov. 15 deadline he imposed earlier this summer. One problem Stumbo wanted to solve before he leaves the department was erased Thursday when it was decided who will run the new University Hospital in Louisville.

His departure would give him more time for the kind of meetings he had that night in Louisville at the Executive Inn with a group of about 30 prospective supporters. According to state Sen. Danny Meyer, one of Stumbo's earliest backers in Louisville, Stumbo met with a mixture of Democratic executive committee members, state legislators and political newcomers. Both Meyer and Bailey said they were pleased by the turnout. With his departure, Stumbo's visibility in the field is certain to rise.

Last night, as Jenkins and Schuhmann discussed the law, none of the other council members said a word. Donio sat a few feet away, listening quietly. After the meeting, Schuhmann said that due process "would entail giving the person at risk, for example the chief, notice of the complaint, an opportunity to defend himself and a fair hearing." Next Monday Jenkins is to appear before a federal grand jury that is investigating Donio and the Shively Police Department The investigation centers on possible violations of federal extortion and racketeering laws that apply to public officials.

Last month The Courier-Journal reported that authorities have interviewed at least a dozen teen-age girls who said they worked as prostitutes in strip joints on Seventh Street Road in the past few years. At least six of those girls said that bar managers arranged for them to have sex with certain Shively police officers. The newspaper also reported that three officials of two now-defunct private security firms said they paid kickbacks to Donio and the department during the 1970s in order to work in the Shively area. Two of the officials told the newspaper that cash payments were made directly to Donio. Donio has said he has never taken any improper payments from In addition, off-duty Shively officers during a 1980 strike at a private firm received at least $2 an hour less than their private employer sent them through Donio leaving at least $4,000 unaccounted for during the 11 Vi -week strike, the newspaper reported.

Last night, immediately after Schuhmann told Jenkins that the council would need just cause to demote Donio, Jenkins asked whether there is a state law prohibiting off- Ray Bailey of Hindman said in an interview last week. Bailey, Stumbo's lifelong friend and the man holding the reins of his campaign, said Stumbo will have to decide at some point whether to go ahead and announce. "I think he wants to make that decision (to run)," Bailey said. Later he added, "Every decision we've made to this point is: 'Yes, we're going to Thus far, Bailey said, neither Sloane nor Mrs. Collins is generating any excitement.

"We don't see any bandwagon." Stumbo's supporters have been raising money, mostly in Eastern Kentucky, since early July. A healthy balance in their first report to the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance, due Oct 1, would be a big boost Bailey said that a statewide poll will be in their hands soon, and that supporters are trying to organize in about 35 key counties. Stumbo is also in the midst of what Bailey says is a series of 18 to 20 meetings around the state to intro Paul ended up at Mr. Gatti's with friends Saul and Jordan Pohn after the twins came to his house in the 7300 block of West-boro Road about 11:30 a.m. The three played a few Atari games.

Then they headed for the restaurant after Saul convinced Paul that he should go for the world record. They thought it was about 2 million or so. And Paul had already scored more than a million points in one game. "I used to think this game was pretty stupid," Paul said. "But striving for a goal, now, that's a challenge." Paul was nonchalantly basking in his glory after ringing up the millions of points yesterday.

The restaurant chain's district manager, Ron Kuhn, presented him coupons for 10 free pizzas and a Mr. Gatti's T-shirt And his mother, Cheryl, stopped by to share in the merriment "Well, he's spent a lot of time down here," she said. "I just hope he does as well in his school-work." Paul said he does like English, and he plans to make the junior varsity basketball team. And when it comes to video games that he really likes, just get him talking about Donkey Kong. Retired Jefferson Circuit Judge J.

Paul Keith Jr. died of a heart attack last night while on vacation in Canada. He was 72. The former presiding Judge of the Jefferson court served for 18 years in the Common Pleas 6th Division. When he retired from the bench in 1975 Keith estimated that he bad heard 1,200 civil cases, most of which involved personal injury from automobile accidents.

In 1973 the judge helped establish a system of pre-trial conferences identify in advance cases that could be settled without a trial. He told a reporter at his retirement that he had never heard a jury' render a truly unfair verdict in a case involving damages, but added, "A restless juror is not a good juror." Despite his resolution not to "grow old on the bench." Keith re- J. PAUL KEITH JR.

Human Resources Secretary Grady Stumbo has convinced a lot of Democrats that he means it when he says he's seeking the party's nomination for governor. But he and his backers have yet to convince many of them that he can make a race of it against Louisville Mayor Harvey Sloane, LL Gov. Martha Layne Collins or whoever else might join the contest At this point his unannounced candidacy lacks credibility a problem that could be cured by the right mix of money and political support if Stumbo shows that he belongs in the race. Given the head start that Sloane and Mrs. Collins enjoy, that's a tall order.

Stumbo and his supporters probably have 90 days or so to pull it together. "By November, we ought to be able to sit down with Grady and say, 'Here's what's been done and what has to be state Sen. Benny duce the Human Resources secretary to prospective supporters. And he's working to land the kind of high-visibility Democrats whose support would generate momentum. "We're talking with people who have some kind of statewide recognition, some kind of statewide credibility," Bailey said.

"That's one of the best things that could happen to this Sources say Stumbo is seeking support from such Democrats as former Gov. Edward T. Breathitt; Trigg County Democratic Chairman Smith Broadbent an influential figure in Western Kentucky; and Jefferson County Clerk Bremer Ehrler, who supported Gov. John Y. Brown Jr.

in 1979. Bailey volunteered the name of Marie Turner, once the dominant figure in Breathitt County politics in Eastern Kentucky. "It would tickle us to death if Miss Marie would go ahead and say she's for Grady," Bailey said, adding, "I think she will." While the support of Mrs. Turner would be a boost, Stumbo needs help But county officials say they have pulled at least a dozen teen-age prostitutes out of Shively's strip joints during that time, and many had never applied for permits. Two of those teen-agers testified during a state Alcoholic Beverage Control Board hearing that they had worked for a month or more without permits.

outside Eastern Kentucky to show that he has more than regional appeal. Democrats close to Stumbo argue that as a native son of Eastern Kentucky, he has just as much of a base there as Sloane does in Jefferson County or Mrs. Collins- in Central Kentucky. But Stumbo has never been a candidate, and Eastern Kentucky, with its county-by-county political rivalries, is not easy to organize, a point that Bailey conceded. Sloane and Mrs.

Collins are at work in the area. Some Democrats also think Stumbo's campaign will have trouble getting itself out of Eastern Kentucky and into such areas as Jefferson County or Western Kentucky. "Hell, getting into Pike County is difficult; getting into Johnson County is difficult But we're going to do it" Bailey said. One of the next steps will be Stumbo's departure from the Department for Human Resources, the agency he's headed since the beginning of the Brown administration.
