not committed to any candidate
and would welcome suggestions.

county leaders in) New York said
they were opposed to LaGuardia's
renomination on the Republican
ticket and 80 peri cent of the dis
trict leaders in Manhattan report

urging impeachment and another
voicing a "certainty" that a
range of mayors was imminent.

No short cut: Chairman Gillette
of the Surplus Property board
wants businessmen against the
flood of "tipster sheets", which
promise easy profits through pur
chases of surplus property.
"While these tipster sheets do

of criminal action,' he says, "they
apparently J offer little or nothing
that a businessman - can not get
himself if ie takes the trouble to
inquire at any of the authorized
government disposal agencies." .
