I i'HK ATLANTA (iKUKHJAN AND NI-AV«. US MODE PETTY POLITICS Mayor Woodward Thursday bitter ly denounced the reported plan if Council to twap places between Po lice Commissioner J. N. MrEaehen and MarcelluK M Anderson, member of the Hoard of Education, both of the Seventh Ward, as an example «,f "the petty peanut politic* that per meates Council." "In my campaign for Mayor I ‘told the people of Atlanta that the trou ble with their city government was that a majority of the members of Council were devoting themselves to petty ring politics Instead of the best administration of the city’s business,’ he said. "The developments Monday In re gard to the resignation of Police Commissioner McEacTiern Is one of many glaring proofs of my charges. "t’ommissloner McEachern's term would have expired next March and he would have been Ineligible for r. election. Fred Hester was a candi date for the place, and reports were that he had enough support to elect him See# Plot on Letter. Mr Lester was not of the crowd that tries to run the board elections. Also Mr McEachern had to by taken rare of. It seems to be authentic that they have caucused and pulled the wire until they have enough votes to elect Marcellos Anderaon, member of the Board of Education, to the Po lice Commission and Mr. McEachern to the Hoard of Education. The In tent of the finesse seems to be to leave Mr. Lester out. "1 have no personal feeling in the matter. Though M* Anderson and I have differed politically, I have al ways felt personally friendly to him. and I am a little surprised that he would allow himself to be handled In such a way. "At Mayor of Atlanta I can’t help but denounce these tactics. It's a good example of the way a crowd in Council works to keep Its friends in office. "Is It any wonder that we have complaints against our board govern ment? What patriotic citizen wants to stoop to the petty practices re quired to get a board position? There fore, the places are tilled by the petty little crowd In Council. "I wonder when the people of At lanta are going to wake up to the misadministration of their business. What sort of government could you expect from a crowd of men who de vote practically all their time to keep ing themselves and their frlenda in oflli e? Elections Will Show Line-up. "The line-up will be made clear wiien the vote on these elections Is taken. Let the people watch to see who the petty peanuts are.'* It will indeed he a significant vote when Council goes to elect Marcell us Anderson to the Police Commission. He will be nominated by Alderman F j. Hpratllng and Councilman Roy Abernathy, of the Seventh Ward, ac cording to advance report. Council man A. H. Colcord, the other repre sent*'ve of the Seventh Ward, Is ex pected to nominate Mr. Lester for the place The fight will be clear cut, and the result of the vote ts expected to have a significant effect on Mayor Woodward’s committee appointments for the new Council. Mr, Lester’s claimed majority Is wiped out by having the old Instead of the new Council do the electing. The hope of Mr. Anderson and Ins friends is that after he has been elop ed to the unexpired term of Mr. Mc Eachern he will he able to secure elec tion for the full term by virtue of hi* being in office. Anyway. It reliefs Councllmen of their pledges to Mr ! Lester. Mr. Anderson opposed Mayor Woodward in the last election, white Fred Lester was a warm supporter. At the same meeting O. P Dixon will be elected to the Police Commis sion to succeed Graham P. Dozier, *h • Tenth Ward delegate, who has re signed. Ca r, os II.

He has been an Independent during hi3 service and there are rumors that he may be ousted for someone who is oir and out for Chief Beavers.
