SPY IS SILENT AS
JAIL TERM STARTS
Canadian Communist Re.
fuses To Divulge Names
OF Associates

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12-UD-
Harold Samuel Gerson was pris-
Unbound tonight without reveal
ing any secrets of communist spy
ing operations in the United States
and Canada.
Gerson is a 41-year-old Canadian
Communist He was convicted in
Ottawa yesterday on charges OF
conspiring to divulge secret infor-
nation to agents in the Soviet
Union.
As a bona fide party member
and not a mere felloW-traveller
stooge, it was believed Gerson
had considerable knowledge of the
Communist spy net. He had a good
spot as a responsible official OF
the wartime Canadian department
of munitions and supplies. He sup
piled information on ammunition
and cannon.
When Canadian officials were
convinced Gerson was aware OF
the implications of the evidence
against him, including material
his own handwriting taken from
Soviet embassy files, he was asked
to consider this proposition:
eff as a Canadian citizen, he
was willing to assist his govern
ment by supplying any information
in his possession regarding Soviet
espionage"
The espionage net within which
Gerson was charged with working
is officially reported by Canadian
officials to have revealed to the
Soviet Union important informa-
ton relating to atomic energy,
radar, a secret shell fuse and ar
anti-submarine device known as
Asdic.
In an estimate of the information
turned over by Canadian Com
munists and fellow travellers to
members of the Soviet embassy
Hll1ltdly dtLdS1iS O1AASSS q OoAN
dian royal commission reported:
The evidence is that some OF
the information supplied, stand
ing alone, would appear to have
little, if any, value. This how
ever does not NEAR that it was
in fact ~valueless. The evidence
indicates that there were agents
working along the same lines IN
the United Kingdom, the United
States and elsewhere. BY getting
some information here, some In
England and some in the United
States, and then assembling 1t,
a very large body Of data could
be built up.
I'VE can say that much vital
technical information, which should
still be secret to the authorities OF
Canada, Great Britain and the
United States has been made
known to the Russians by reason
of the espionage activities reported
herein"

City Manager J. R. Benson was
out of the city and could not be
reached for comment on what pro-
cedure will be followed in the fill
ing of the vacancies.
Those declining appointments
rendered by the city council on

pany.

McGirt, in a letter to Mayor W.
Ronald Lane and the city council,
said: "Since the receipt Of the
notice Con October 5, notifying me
of my appointment as a member
of the board Of Adjustment I have
read a copy of the Ordinance Pro
viding For The Zoning of the City
of Wilmington and in view of the
magnitude and scope of this ordi-
nance, with its numerous provi-
sions, it would be impossible for
me to devote the time to the hear
ing of the appeals and to the neces-
sary study and investigation of
their merits"
johnson reported that pressure
of the banking business prevented
him from accepting membership
on the board of appeals. Foy, the
other member declining appoint
ment to the board, also reported
that he had studied the scope of
the ordinance and did not have
the time to devote to same.
The city council is expected to
consider the appointment of three
new appointees to the zoning board

On Adjustment Board

of adjustment at its meeting We'd
nesday morning.
Several City Hall attacher have
said names of the group should not
be made public until after they
will have been contacted and their
acceptance or rejection determin-
ed.
Other authorities seemed in
clined to believe that it is going to
be a hard matter getting five bust
ness men to accept membership on
the board, particularly after the
majority of the appointees will
have to be second choices; and
still others pointed out that the city
council could make its own adjust
ments of the zoning ordinance, for
in the final analysis the council is
the body that will have to act on
the appeals.
Gilbert F. Morton, the city build
ing inspector, is the lone admins
traitor of the city zoning ordinance,
and the board adjustment was ex-
pected to hear any appeals that
might be made by citizens from
the rulings Of the building inspec-
tor.
