SLATED
To GET CHAIR
MASON VACATES
Commissioner From Eighth Likely
to Head Police Board-Baskin
to Represent First.

Political circles were stirred by the
announcement Saturday of Carlos H,
Mason. chairman of the Police Com
mission, that he would retire at the
expiration Of his present term next
March. Speculation was rife as to it's
effect on the fortunes of Police Chief
James L. Beavers and on the polit-
ical faction opposed 10 Mayor James
G. Woodward. in which Mason wields
such an important influence.
Political experts have it that Rob
ert F. Clark. Commissioner from the
Eighth Ward, will be elected TO sue
coed Mr.. Mason as chairman. Mr..
Clark's term also expires next March,
but indications are that he will be
reelected Though he has been on
the opposite side from Chairman Ma
son In a number OF police policy
fights. friends Of Chairman Mason de-
clare that his retirement would be
more graceful If he should allow the
mantle Of the chairmanship to fall on
the shoulders of one who has not
been a strictly Mason man.
Il do not intend to take any part
in the election of the new chairman"
said Mr.. Mason Saturday afternoon.
II seems reasonably sure that Coun-
Gilman A. Fl Baskin will succeed Mr..
Mason as the First Ward represen-
tative on the commission. f. Walter
Trip is a candidate for the place.
The element with which Mr.. Mason is
a ha
Gil. DR.. Baskin has been very friend
ly TO Mr., Mason. Mr.. Mason's APP
prevail Of him will mean his election.
Though he viii spend several
months IN Europe, Mr. Mason will be
back in Atlanta in time to take an
active part In the Mayoralty cam
paign this fall, especially If Forrest
Adair enters the race A Mason boom
for the Mayoralty. though rumored, is
not likely He would not want to run
for Mayor, for the same reason he
does not want TO run for Police Com
missioner again.
Mayor Woodward, long time polit-
ical enemy of Chairman Mason, was
opposed to amending the ordinance
permitting Mr.. Mason to run again.
Alderman Nutting and the others
back Of the movement claimed they
had enough votes to override the
veto OF the Mayor. Just the same,
Mr.. Mason's retirement is a victory in
a way for Mayor Woodward
Mr.. Clark has been reasonably
friendly with the Mayor during the
whole year, and his friends expect
Mayor Woodward's support for him
for chairman
There are no present indications
that the change will have any great
effect on the support of Chief Beavers
by the commission, but it can't be
said that the Chief will be strength
ened any
Chairman Mason and his supporters
were in position where they had to
support Chief Beavers following May
or Woodward's election on an anti
Beavers platform. The change win at
least give more liberty in individual
action.
