By the Associated Press

The Senate Permanent Inves-
legations Subcommittee said to-
day that Gordon Tiffany, for
mer staff director Of the Civil
Rights Commission, had nei-
ther the executive ability nor
the competence" for the post.
The report, submitted to the
Senate by Chairman Mcclellan,
Democrat of Arkansas. was
based on a staff investigation
and cloSed-door hearings con-
Quoted by the subcommittee
last year. ,...
Senator Mcclellan said the
inquiry was initiated because of
complaints of mismanagement
and inefficiency made against
Mr.. Tiffany by members of the
commission staff.
Mr.. Tiffany, the first staff
director of the commission set
up by the 1857 Civil Rights Act.
resigned last January /. Sena-
tor McClelland said it was ap-
parent to him that Mr.. Tif-
fany's resignation was due to
the subcommittee's probe.
Dissent by Javits
In a separate dissenting state
ment, Senator Javits, Repub-
lican of New York, said that
Mr.. Tiffany resigned with the
change in administrations and
quoted a resolution adopted by
the commission saying Mr..
Tiffany had served with de-
votion. intelligence, and dis
tinction."
Senator Javits is not a men,
ber of the subcommittee but
serves on its parent body, the
Senate Committe on Govern
ment Operations, which ap-
proved the filing of the report.
Senators Mundt, Republican
of South Dakota, and Curtis,
Republican of Nebraska, both
members of the subcommittee,
said they were unable to par
ticipate in the hearings and
neither approved nor disap-
proved the report.
The report said that Mr..
Tiffany, by design or through
ineptnesS, demonstrated a
thorough lack of cooperation
with the subcommittee's in
quiry." All
Specifically. it said he per-
sistently questioned the sub
committees authority, refused
to permit some employees of the
commission to be interviewed
at the time requested, and gave
advice to subordinates that was
tantamount to warning them
not to cooperate.
Withheld Records
The report also said Mr.. Tif-
fany had refused to permit the
review of certain financial rec
ords. on the ground they were
merely estimates, and had re-
fused to make available at first
the names Of 26 prominent Fed
eral, State and local officials

their financial help and
counsel was one of our
greatest assets.
Although I'm, never 100

a lot Of effort and co-opera-
ton. I can see details that
might have been handled
differently, but those of us
who have worked on this
community since just after
World War II are very proud
Of the result.

long way since the winter of
1852 when Carl Hengen,

in the mud and looked at

When the county was first

tanned his office at his home. A
Mr.. Cobb was the first clerk of
the county and he appointed
Colonel Thomas Read as his
deputy clerk, who served from
1865 to 1770. and became clerk
in ITO.
Colonial Read maintained his
office at his home, historic Ingle-
side, in the quaint little brick
structure that will serve as a
model for the countys museum
Built around 1850, the office is
styled along architectural lines
evident in Williamsburg, and
similar to other county buildings
in Charlotte Court House.
