Dealer Who Claimed
Fifth Amendment
Loses D. {. License

The District government has
refused to renew the second
hand dealers license of William
Shonick. "a. because he claimed
the protection of the Fifth
Amendment when asked about
his Communist Affiliations in
Congressional hearings last
July.
The decision to reject Mr..
Shonick's renewal application
was made by Chatham T. Not
tingham. superintendent of IL
censes. Mr.. Nottingham said
the basis for his action was q
report and recommendation by
the Metropolitan Police special
Investigations squad.
Nub Of the police report was
that Mr.. Shonick was named
as a member of the Communist
Party underground in testimony
by Mrs. Mary Stalcup Mark
ward. former FBI undercoyer
agent, in executive session of
the House Un-American Activ-
tiles Committee in June, 1851.
Forced Out as Teacher.
The secondhand dealer went
into that trade not long after
his forced resignation as music
teacher in Leland Junior High
School. Chevy Chase, Md. His
business speciality is second -hand
pianos at an address in the 5000
block of Fourth. street NV.
Mr.. Nottingham said in reach
ing his decision he was exercis-
ing his discretion as District
| license superintendent.
"Good moral character" he
said was the test he applied to
Mr.. Shonick's case. In this con-
nectlon he noted that the report
by Capt. Michael j. Mahaney Of
the police special Investigations
squad stated that Mr.. Shonick
has refused to avail himself of
an opportunity to dispel well
founded suspicious as to his
loyalty" Thus, the report de-
clared, "the conclusion is forced
that Mr.. Shonick is not a "fit
person" to continue holding his
! license.
New Address Found.
| The license official said that
the enforcement unit of the
Licenses and Inspections De-
partment finally located Mr..
Shonick's new home address
last night. The applicant for
merly lived at 1853 Girard
street NV. and now resides in
the 1000 block of Quebec ter
race. Langley Park, Md.
| Mr.. Shonick's business last
was located in the 300 block of
Cedar street NV, and when he
moved it to the Fourth street
address he failed to notify the
license office as required by law,
Mr.. Nottingham said.
The license official pointed out
that if Mr.. Shonick is dissatis-
fed with the decision he may
! appeal.
Unavailable for Comment.
Neither Mr.. Shonick nor his
attorney. Joseph Forer, were i'm
mediately available for comment
Authorities said the applicant
has no police record.
! In his testimony before the
congressional committee last July
the second hand dealer said he
believed the Communist Party
is not a subversive organization.
This response came when he
was asked about signing a loyalty
statement required by Maryland
under the Ober law. In his
signed statement he denied be-
ing a member of any subverSive
organization.
$50 you could have been a
party member and signed the
statement with a perfectly clear
conscience?" he was asked.
To which Mr.. Shonick replied:
"A person could be member
of the Communist Party and sign
such a statement if he did not
think the Communist Party was
subversive."

Sports Closeup

NEW YORK, (GlobaD. D.-There's
a lot of rumbling going on these
days in the barbor shops and on
the corners and most of it is about
the Yankees and the run-around
they continue to give Negro play
ers.
The Yankee front office has
again come in for it's share of 60
ing over and the boys are saying
that no matter how financially Sc
cure they are, their pocketbooks
can be hurt, too. The top brass in
the Yankee set-up has continued
Ito protest that they want only the
best players and color doesn't mat
ter, but events of the last two
years would hardly substantiate
that claim.
First there was Vic Power who
somehow wasn't quite good enough
for the Champions roster, so they
let him go. But he has found a
berth with the Philadelphia Ath-
letics instead of the Minors. And
now. we have a similar situation
coming up with Elston Howard.
The Yanks made a feeble stab at
trying him out on the club. He's
good out-fielder and first baseman,
so the story goes, but in spite OF
the fact that the Yankees are sadly
in need of a first baseman, Howard
didn't even get a chance to show
what he could do at that post. In
stead, they tried to make him
of all things-a catcher.
When affairs like this happen
once, you can give the manage
ment the benefit of the doubt and
say that maybe just once they
showed bad judgment. But to bring
up a player, and not even give him
a chance to play his position, then
release him, is more than bad
Judgment. The boys on the corner
have a word for it. It's bias.

NOTES PROGRESS AT
STATE PRISON

We note with pleasure that Gov
ernor Aronson and the Board of Ex-
aminers have seen fit to appoint two
clinically trained chaplains to serve
the three institutions in the Deer
Lodge valley. This means, as far as
the prison is concerned, that for the
first time, we have men trained in a
psychiatric setting, counciling men
in the prison. Warden Burrell feels
as we do that the outdated and out
moded old cell block prison should
not be rebuilt inside the walls, but
that minimum security building for
the trustees should be built out on
one of the prison ranches. He also
feels that more psychiatric services
in the field of counciling should be
made available to the people in the
prison by putting psychiatrist, a
psychologist and psychiatric social
worker on the staff Of the prison.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1954-12-17

We feel that it is vital to give the
best services available to the people
in our State institutions, first of all,
because it is the humane thing to do,
and secondly, because it is cheaper in
the long run. For example, it is
cheaper to help a first timer at the
prison so that he does not become
an habitual criminal through giving
him proper counseling than it is just
to keep him in prison and then turn
him loose.
1t would seem to US that it would
be a good thing if study was made
of the whole institutional structure
in Montana so that perhaps there
could be better cooperation between
various institutions. The services for
helping people are under the divided
authority of the Board of Education,
the Board of Examiners and the Pub
lie Welfare Department, which makes
us wonder if the best use is made
of the facilities that we have. There
fore, we are very happy that the
Governor has told his Citizens Mental
Health Committee to go ahead and
make study of the prison and other
We sincerely hope this
means that the prison will not be
made political issue, but that every
one will cooperate in seeing what
is best for it and it's inmates.
Another area which gives us much
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1954-12-17

concern is the way adoptions are
handled in our state. There are still
many unframed people who are work
ing as adoption agencies suggesting
to unmarried mothers and parents
where children should be placed. We
hope that the public can be educated
so that they will realize that Just
finding a home for a child does not
help the mother with her emotional
problem. We feel that a case worker
should be allowed to help the mother
with all the technical skill that he
has. People trained in other profess
sional areas become amateurs when
they seek to deal with this problem
and can do much emotional damage.
We hope too that in the coming
legislature something will be done to
make it mandatory for judges to re-
view the cases of children committed
to the orphanage in Twin Bridges
every year so some of the children
are not forced to grow up in the
institution, but could either be re-
turned to their own homes or placed
for adoption.
