Mama Gentle said:
"DOn Was never much good at

aroused. I guess he must have
gotten pretty sore at those
Nazis."
To the proud parents, II was
the fulfillment of the American
dream. They had come TO this
from Italy as poor immi-
grants. They had lived quietly
working in the restaurant, rails
ing their two children, Don. and
his 2l-year-old sister.
Papa Gentle told his neighbors
how Don loved airplanes even
when he was a boy.
"He was always saving sticks
and tissue paper TO build model
airplanes. And when he was
still in high school, he talked
me into buying him a small
plane. He wanted TO fy, and

There is no sound or logical rea-
son why the recorders office should
enjoy autonomy from the rest of
the district government" he de-
clared. "The commissioners should
have the authority to appoint the
recorder as well as the personnel of
the office. And the district auditor
should have audit control over the
revenues of the recorders Office"
He further pointed out that if
the commissioners had control over
the office it would be stated from
stop to bottom with qualified dis
trict residents and not outsiders.
Coffee also complained that the
recorders office is "overstaffed."
For years, it has been customary
to make appointments to the re-
corder's office through recommen-
dation of congressman for "deserv-
ing" persons. Practically all of the
staff is appointed" and for the
most part, Negroes are the chief
recipients of this largess. Frederick
Weaver, colored, is deputy record
er and many sought to have him
retained in the post as recorder,
succeeding the late DIR. Thompkins.
Under DR.. Thompkins, the old
office took on a new life and for
the first time in it's history, was
not only self-sustaining, but actual
ly made money for the government
and turned in surpluses. Removing
the office from political aspect
has been the goal of many previous
attempts.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20
(ANP) If the recommendations
of Rep. Coffee d., Wash.) are ad-
hered to, Negroes will stand a
chance of losing the post of record
er of deeds, which, with one excep-
ton, they have filled with distinc-
ton since Grover Cleveland first
appointed Frederick Douglas to the
post. Since that time one white
man, John Costello, of Washington,
an appointee of Woodrow Wilson,
has held the post. Costello succeed
ed the we'll known Henry Lincoln
Johnson.
Coffee seeks to remove the $4,000
a year job from the category of
political plums" and proposes that
the office of the recorder and it's
entire staff be placed under the
direct control of the district COM
missioners.
