tai Administrator for the
Charles Harwood Hospital re-
signed his position effective
June 6, 1868 it was learned

While in his letter of resig-

speculation is that Mr.. john
son was a BIT frustrated in his
position since most Of the du-
ties normally performed by.
hospital administrators and as
outlined in his present job
specification at the hospital
were transferred to other Off

Mr.. johnson, a quiet unas-
Stunning middle aged man Of 45,

Arson Suspected
In House Negro
Wanted to Buy

REDDING RIDGE, Conn,
June % (AP) State police say
they are investigating the pos
sibility that someone inten-
tionally set fire to a house that
a Negro wanted to buy.
The home, which was under
construction, burned down early
yesterday.
Police said an anonymous
telephone caller had warned
the building contractor, John
Rickel, not to sell to the Negro.
Mr.. Rickel said there was a
strong possibility that the pro-
spective buyer, Thomas Moffett,
%, of nearby Bethel, would not
have been able to purchase the
seven-room house anyway.
HE showed me an income
of $50 a week and he was try
ing to get a really big mort
gage" the builder explained.
The home, on a 21a-acre lot,
was priced at $21, 300.
