Tuesday, Aug. 25, 1964 Oneonta Star 3 Ex-Boss DeSapio Loses Last Major Democratic Party Role Delegates From Area Back Move By ROBERT S. VAN FLEET Chief, Ottaway News Service ATLANTIC CITY Carmine DeSapio was deposed from his last major party role and given what may be his last hurrah Monday by New York delegates to the National Democratic Convention. Delegates from the 30th and joined in the unanimous vote naming DeSapio's successor as one of New York's members of the Democratic National Committee. Among those recorded were Dr Alexander F.

Carson, of Oneonta; Morris Fitts, Cortland; and John Fabrizi, Clifton Springs, all delegates from the 35th district. The new committeeman is Edwin L. Weisl a close associate of President Johnson. His appointment probably means that control of the party in New York will remain in the hands of Mayor Wagner and President Johnson, even if Robert F. Kennedy should win the Senatorial race against Kenneth B.

Keating. The action came at the first of two New York caucuses held in preparation of Monday night's opening session. WAGNER CHAIRMAN Mayor Wagner was named chairman of the delegation. Representative Edna F. Kelly, Brooklyn, was re-elected to the post of National Commtteewo- man.

James A. Farley, former national democratic chairman, was named honorary chairman of the New York delegation. The deposition of DeSapio came on the motion of William F. Luddy, Westchester chairman, who moved for the election of Weisl as "a man who gets things done." De Sapio, wearing his customary dark glasses and expressionless face, sat on the rostrum facing New Yorkers who constitute the largest delegation here. When Luddy finished, DeSapio Joined in the applause clapping twice.

Weisl was elected by a voice vote. State Chairman William H. McKeon then called on the former Tammany Hall boss who smiled briefly and then said with grim humor: "I am not a candidate for national committeeman." When he had given a short plea for unity in the party, he sat down. APPLAUSE It was then that the delegation gave DeSapio the big hurrah. Luddy was the first man to rise.

Then the entire delegation arose, applauding, some of them shouting. There followed pep talks by State Comptrollre Arthur Levitt and former Governor Averill Harriman. The New Yorkers and other state delegations are here for the primary purpose of nominating a candidate for president and vice-president and to adopt a party platform. But they are continually occupied by other home-front business. Howard J.

Samuels, of Canandaigua, a candidate for the nomination for governor when Robert M. Morgenthau was named in 1962, is diligently building fences, apparently in preparation for another run in 1966.

Cse Our Convenient Credit or Ld-AAVay Plan Barbecue COOPERSTOWN The annual chicken barbeque sponsored by the Forestry Department of the Olsego County Board of Supervisors will be held following Ihe regular meeting of the County Board on Wednesday, Sept 2, at the Forest of the Dozen Dads.

The affair will be definitely held at the Forest, as a new picnic shelter constructed on the grounds will permit usage of the area, rain or shine, according lo Stewart A. Wheeler, County Forester.

"If we can assert more in a summer program." Mr. Taylor continued. "We are accomplishing this end." referring to The editorial urging driver training as a required and available course. The Board, at its regular monthly meeting last Tuesday, approved the cancellation of driver training during the academic school year. As the result of that meeting, the course will be taught only in summer school as of 1965.

Dr. Robert B. Cody, superintendent, in making the recommendation for the change, said Ihe school will save about $70 per pupil if it is taught only in summer. The cost during the academic year is $95 per pupil and $25 during the summer school. Another reason for the shift as explained by Herbert J.

Dielz, curriculum coordinator, was that it becomes increasingly more difficult to schedule students because of college entrance preparation, Mr. Dietz said in order to make the preparation available, Ihe school has to reshuffle its scheduling process for more efficient operation. It was explained further that more studenls will be able to lake driver training in the summer. Mr. Dietz said the capacity in the summer is unlimited.

When asked by a Star reporter if leaching the course in the summer would not eliminate anyone because of transportation problems, the Board ssid that transportation is not loo much of a problem. "Other area schools have found no real problem with transportation," said William Graham 3rd, explaining there are other schools in the vicinity who teach the course in summer. Henry Egli said the move will upgrade rather than downgrade the course. Mr. Dietz said the school was "doing the very best we possibly can to provide the best economical program as efficiently as we can." The Star editorial concluded, "In short, we would like to see more emphasis on driver training, not less." Board members also re-emphasized that if the transition period by which the course will eventually be eliminated during Ihe academic year does not work well, it could be voted into the regular academic year again.
