REPLACE CAPTAIN OF SHARON FORCE Instigator of Gambling Raids Fired by Mayor Sharon Police Captain Thomas Contt who last February directed raids on five gambling places today is walking' a regular beat as a patrolman. City Detective Howard Maxwell, a recent FBI Institute graduate, was appointed by Mayor Myron W. Jones to succeed Con- tl as captain. Mayor Jones ordered the change in captains shortly after he i was sworn In for the fourth time as mayor of the city. It was carried out In a letter to Chief William Stuart.

Conti's demotion was a certainty. When has was appointed last year by city council, Both rlayor Jones and Chief Stuart opposed the change and favored Detective Maxwell whom they said was more capable. At'that time, E. Harold Robbins, then a Republican councilman, Joined with Democratic Councilman James Norman and Michael Dunn to get a 3-2 council approval of Conti's promotion. Robbins, who sponsored Conll, was beaten at last summer's Republican 'primary at which he sought a second term.

Mayor Jones' change in tne police department does not need approval by council as a recently paased state law gives mayors of third class cities complete control over the police department. Although Contl organized and directed last February's" surprise raid without the knowledge of Mayor Jones and Chief Stuart, tho latter denied the demotion was because of his antUgambling activities. This raid was followed by a county-wide cleanup of gambling which resulted in' an estimated 150 slot machines being removed from the county's clubs and some taverns. Sharon's new wage schedule for police ofncers gives the captains $363 monthly and patrolmen $324.50. FIRE "PAPA GOLDBERG" FOR RED AFFILATSONS INI FFA HONORS IN STAT! Harrisburg, Jan.
