Fire Unofficial Mayor
Of Harlem for Alleged
Political Activity
BY Conrad Clark

NE jim sept. y. \AINTJ
- At a meeting held by the
Mayors committee Monday, Au-
gust 80, Mrs. Madaline Mccoy,
deputy mayor was installed as
the interim mayor of Harlem to
succeed Sherman Hibbitt, who was
elected to that office March 16,
of this year, exactly five months
and IA days ago.
"The change of office" accord
ing to Reuben j. Patton, ecu
tive director of the committee,
twas due to the recent violation
of an agreement between the COM
mittee and Mr.. Hibbit, when he
endorsed the candidacy of Presi-
dent Truman a few weeks ago in
Washington, D. C. "While | am
not opposed to the candidacy as
president of the United States or
of any other candidate, the COM
mittee feels that no person in this
office could really serve the peo-
pie if he was placed in a position
where to get things done he had
to commit himself to obligations
which would embarrass those that
he represented" continued Mr..
Patton.
The unofficial Mayors commit
tee of Harlem, which is affiliated
with the Negro Locality Mayors
committee of New York, Inc,
was formed to give the people of
Harlem and opportunity to make
their voices heard in the govern
ment of this great city. To make
sure that the mayor of Harlem
would truly represent all the peo-
pie Of this area, the committee
had all candidates to sign an
agreement, which among other
conditions, restricted them from
endorsing political candidates and
partisan politics.
The committees reason for this
condition was that it felt and be-
lieved that if the mayor of Har-
lem could keep above politics he
could be most effective in help
ing the people of this area.
The violation charged against
Hibbitt who recently made a per-
sonal donation to the National
Democratic committee and which
was given much publicity, was
called to his attention by Mr.. Pat
ton, the president of the commit
tee, and which as a result, auto
matically removed Mr.. Hibbitt
from office.
In conclusion Patton stated
that "the committee regretted

Reds Isolated benes
Ito Effect Czech Coup,
|Ex-Vice Premier Saws

The late President Benes of
Czechoslovakia never got the chance
to announce to his country that he
would not accept the resignation OF
IL non-Communist ministers In his
cabinet, preceding the Communist
coup last February.
Further. he sought to place the
issue of their resignation before the
non Communist parliament but
failed.
These disclosures were made here
yesterday by DR.. Peter Zenkl, former
vice premier, who arrived in WASH
lngton September 10, after escaping
from Communist confinement in his
country in August.
DR.. Zenkl pointed out that, be-
fore Mr.. Benes could act, he was
isolated" from the people and heavy
pressure put on him to accept the
designations as well as q new fully
formed Communist cabinet.
Civil War Possible.
After protracted struggle.
Benes, suffering from the conse-
quences of two strokes, yielded to
the threats Of violence against the
population" DR.. Zenkl told reporters.
The press conference was recorded
for rebroadcast over the Voice of
America program.
DR.: Zenkl, in answer to a question
whether Czechoslovakia could be
liberated without a third world war,
declared that civil war may come in
Czechoslovakia, because of the ter
rible conditions" under which his
countrymen are living. Czechs and
Slovaks do not desire war but feel
it Is better to lose a life than con-
tinue as they are, he added.
DR.. Zenkl said resistance move
ment exists in his country that could
be OF the greatest importance when
the time comes" He emphasized
the need of radio to avert "a feeling

DR.. zenkl expressed an opinion
that Jan Masaryk's death was a sui

ne was murdered by the Commu-
nlsts. He noted that the former
foreign minister's sister also believed
ne jumped to his death in Prague.

racies should display no sign of
weakness in their dealings with the

Clark Will Seek Tightening Of
 EspiOnage.Laws

Continued from Page TWo) ing done by his department along the lines MT. Truman mentioned. He replied:
 We'll have some recOmmenda- tions right at the beginning of the session-amendments to the pres ent statutes on espionage"
 He refused to go into detail.
 As Clark made this statement, Congressional spy hunters told re- porters the man accused of get ting the Norden bombSight secret for Russia is a ballisticS expert who has been spotted and ques- toned by federal agents.
 The House un-hmerican activi- ties committee made signs of open ing the Alger Hiss case by asking Francsi B. Sayre, former assistant secretary of state and Hiss one time boss, to be a witness today or tomorrow.
 Assigned Rep. Mcdowell R.- Pa0 to go to New York as a one man subcommittee and question other witnesses about Hiss activi- ties back in the l930's.
 1 Kept its furious feud going with President Truman and the justice department. Mir Truman isn't changing a bit his stand that the committee spy case is a ''red herr ing" That's what he told a news conference late Friday. Committee members jeered at that, especially since a New York grand jury indicted Hiss on a per jury charge of evidence turned up as result of the committees spy hearings.
 Committeemen said they under stood the bombsight suspect testi- fled to that same grand jury and that new grand jury will go more deeply into the case IL was set up after the other jury expired at midnight last Wednesday night. Rep Mundt R.-S. D.. acting committee chairman, has said the man is a civilian emDlOvee of the army at it's Aberdeen (MdD prov ing ground but is temporarily on leave because of illness. The prov ino ground tests weapons and all sorts of equipment.
 The man is desc"ibed as an au- thority on such things as rockets, bombing tables and projectiles in general, but not anyone with a fancy title or salary.

JOHN J. O'SHEA APPOINTED ASSAYER AT ANCHORAGE

The appointment of John J. O'Shea, Jr., to the position of aS- sayer-in-charge of the laboratory of the Territorial Department of Mines at Anchorage, was an- nOunced by B. D. Stewart, com missioner of Mines.
 MT. O'Shea, member of a well known family, who are longtime residents of Interior Alaska, brings Co the position an excellent back ground of training and experience.
 He was graduated as mining engineer from the University of Alaska, Class of 1888; after which he was employed by the Fairbanks Exploration Company at Fair banks in the responsible capacity of foreman of the gold-roOm. In 1943 MT. O'Shea was elected member of the House of Represen- tatiVeS in the Alaska Legislature and served as such during the Six teenth Session. He did not seek re- election in l945, having joined the U. $. Army, in which he served at Anchorage and elsewhere in Alas ka. On discharge from service he assumed the position of coal-ana- | lySt for the Alaska Railroad and remanied in charge of their coal analysis laboratory a Anchorage until it was discontinued on De- cember 1, 1948.
 MT. O'Shea succeeds l.. A. Dah- ners, who resigned from the posi- tion in October in order to accept appointment as mining engineer with the Cyprus Mining corpora ton, which conducts a large cop per-mining operation at Skiourio- tiana, NicOsia, Island of Cyprus. MT. Dahners and his family, for

American Ships Will Still Get ECA Relief CargOes

WASHINGTON (P)-American ships will be guaranteed at least half of all Marshall Plan bulk car goes for another month.
 A decision by the economic CO., operation administration to drop this 50-50 provision effective Jan uary was modified Wednesday an the recommendation of a 12- member public watchdog" com mittee.
 The previous action, designed to take advantage of lower shipping costs on foreign-flag vessels, had aroused a storm of protest in mar itime circles, in Congress and elsewhere.
 In announcing the delay, ECA administrator Paul c. Hoffman said:
 "In recent weeks, as a result of the French coal strike and other circumstances, the demand for bulk cargo vessels has continued at a high level, while during the same period rate differentials have decreased"
 Hoffman added that the post ponement takes these factors into account and also will permit ap- praisal of the underlying problem by the new Congress"
 Bulk cargoes consist chiefly of coal and grain.
 There had been no plan, ECA said, to divert higher percentage of packaged goods, such as pro- cessed food, medicine and indus trial equipment, to foreign ships
 The foreign aid act sets forth the 50-50 provision but gives Hoff- man authority to alter it under certain circumstances.

Alaska Politics Starting To Boil

KETCHIKAN (P)-On the heels of the Governors calling a special session of the Alaska Legislature for January to handle the Terri tory'S financial plight, friends of Senator Frank Peratrovich of Kla- work announced he would be a candidate for president of the Sen ate in the special session.
 It was believed Victor C. Rivers of Anchorage, present Democratic chairman for Alaska, has the in- side track for the presidency at the regular session.
 Peratrovich's claim is based on the fact that the Fourth and Third Division each had the presidency in the last two sessions and his se- niority, including continuous serV- ice in the House, is now greatest on the Democratic side.
 PeratrOvich and newly elected Senator R. M. Mackenzie, plan stops at Wrangell and Petersburg enrOute to Juneau for the session to discuss legislative matters.

SAYS ALASKA MD HAWAII SHOULD BECOME STATES

WASHINGTON, (P)-Rep. Pe- den D.-OklaD said yesterday he thought the 8lst Congress should approve statehood for both Alas ka and Hawaii.
 Not only should this be done to aid in the defenses of the United States, but it should be done be- cause we have promised statehood to the people of Alaska and Ha- Waii," he said.
 Peden, who recently visited Alaska, stressed importance of building stronger defenses there. He was defeated for reelection.
