Washington, d. C. (NNPA) -
The Rev. Marshall L. Shepard,
Recorder of Deeds of the District
of Columbia, last Friday summar-
lily dismissed his first deputy re-
corder, Frederick S. Weaver.
The dismissal, effective at the
close of business August 80, is
likely to have repercussions.
Whether Mr.. Weaver will carry
his fightagainst his dismissal to
the White House, Congress, the
Democratic national chairman, or
all three could not be learned
last Friday.
Weaver personally knows Presi-
dent Truman, Chairman Bob Han
negan of tie Democratic national
committee, and a number of Sem
ators and Representatives on the
Appropriations and District of
Columbia Committee with which
Mr.. Shepard must deal.
The dismissal Of Weaver fol-
lowed an exchange of notes Au-
gust % between him and Shepard
and a personal conference. Mr..
Shepard's first note informed Mr.

outmoded, customs of his comm

being cries out within to adjust
his inner self to his outer enroirn-
ment. No conflict is more destruct-
i've, no strife is more bitter than
this tearing apart and gnawing at
the vitals of ones own self.
So speak kindly. Say, Brother

as your conscience will allow. In
the meantime, III do all in nv

Weaver that his usefulness as first
deputy recorder had come to an
end and demanded his resignation
forthwith.
Mr.. Weaver replied stating his
reluctance to resign without being
informed of the charges against
him. He asked to be informed
of the charges. At a conference
between him and Mr.. Shepard he
again requested to be informed
Of the charges. Later, on the
same day, Mr.. Shepard sent Wea-
yer second note informing him
that since he, Weaver, had indi-
Gated a reluctance to resign, his
services would be terminated at
the close of business August 80.
After notifying Mr.. Weaver Of
the termination of his services,
Mr.. Shepard dictated several or
ders shifting personnel who had
worked in the office of the first
deputy recorder to other work
in the recorders office.
Whether the dismissal of Mr..
Weaver was an outgrowth of the
investigation into the office of
the Recorder of Deeds by the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation
could not be learned. The FBI
completed their investigation in
the Recorders office on August
16, but continued to interview for
mer employees. AS far as can be

c.. Clark ordered the investigation
covering the conduct of the of,

ings. When it was turned ove1
to Mr.. Shepard two years ago
it was said to be less than 80(
papers behind.
Mr.. Weaver has been an EN-
ployee of the Recorders office fo1
eleven years. He has worked il
various capacities from messen
