Howard Tibello

was a deputy of the Mayor of New York City in 1930.
The November 1st 1930 issue of New York Record quoted him as saying "If a party of cranks believe that instilling fear into the hearts of New Yorkers' will in any way help a city that is already on its knees, then there's even less hope for this state's recovery than I'd hoped" as a response to the claims that New Yorkers are being abducted from the cities' Hoovervilles. Tibello's critics were appalled at his cynicism and called for the threat to be taken seriously. (TV: Daleks in Manhattan)
