Bolilen Shift,
2 Other Envoy
Changes Eyed
WASHINGTON Wl The Eisen
hower administration reportedly
is planning to shift Charles E.
Bolilen, U. S. ambassador to Rus
sia, to another diplomatic post.
A change in ambassadors to
Belgium and the Netherlands also
is said to be in the offing.
Diplomatic officials said Llewel
lyn Thompson, now American
ambassador to Austria, may suc
ceed Bohlcn, who has hecn at his
Moscow post for nearly four
years.
Bolilen some time oro asked for
a change of assignment and he
reportedly has been offered an
other post. He is due here Feb. 21,
presumably to discuss his new
job.
Informants said President Ei
senhower has decided to nominate
J. Clifford Folgcr, chairman of
the Republican Finance Commit
tee, to take over in Belgium. He
would succeed Frederick M. Alger
of Grosse Point, Mich. Folger is
an investment banker here.
Officials said Phillip Young, re
tiring chairman of the Civil Serv
ice Commission and a native ef
Lexington, Mass., was in line for
nomination as ambassador to the
Netherlands. The present U. S.
ambassador there is II. Freeman
Matthews, a veteran career dip

ington for consultations. He ex
pects to return to The Hague be

since Clinton High School admit
led 12 Negro students under a fed
oral court order last fall.
In the absence of concrete
clues, however, officers still de
dined to speculate as to whether
integration of the previously all
white school is connected with the
series of explosions.
Police said the suitcase, which
contained "several" sticks of dy
namite, was placed on a concrete
sli.b across the street from a res
taurant where several Negroes
were eating. The Negroes said
they saw a white man stop, leave
the suitcase, jump back into his
car and speed away.
The blast caved in the ceiling
and inner walls of the basement
restaurant.
The woman, identified as Emma
Simmons, suffered a knot on the
head when hit by falling plaster;
the )l-montli-old girl, Jacqueline
Gallahcr, was cut by flying glass.
Neither was believed seriously
hurt.
Also damaged was a nearby
sandwich shop owned by Steve
Williams, father of a 21-year-old
senior suspended from the inte
grated school on grounds he
struck a white hoy and threatened
others with a knife Feb. 4.
Jim Loggans, reporter for the
Clinton Courier-News, said the
plate glass window was blown
from the front of the sandwich
shop. He said Williams' homo was
one of about 25 or 30 Negro homes
in which window glass was shat
tered. All were within n 100-yard
radius of the blast.
Two cars owned by Negroes
were damaged.
They re scared, they re bewil-
dred and they're mad," Loggans
said of the Negroes, One of them
said he's going back to North Car
olina. One man said, 'I can't un
derstand it. We're living in the
United States, hut we've been in
timidated and threatened until we
can't stand much more.' "

MAN OF MANY 'TALENTS'
Teacher Exposed
As Ace Imposter
While pelicans scoop fish from
water; they don't dive as do the
Brown pelicans.
AUGUSTA, Maine I J) A per
sonable young schoolteacher who
quickly won the affections of a
Down East island community was
identified by state police yester
day as a fantastic imposter who
once posed as a Canadian surgeon
in Korea.
Ferdinand Waldo DeMara, 35, a
native of Lawrence, Mass., was
held on a warrant charging cheat
ing by false pretenses.
The charge stemmed from his
role as Martin Danniel Godgart,
an instructor of "superior quali
fications" who taught North Hav
en youngsters English, Latin and
French, instituted recreation pro
grams, organized a Sea Scout unit
and won praise from his col
leagues, superiors and the island
population.
A Martin Godgart teaches in
New York and attended Wagner
College there. Slate police said
DeMara had Wagner listed on the
Maine teaching certificate they
charged he obtained fraudulently.
State Police Detective Millard
Nickerson said DeMara gave a
"full statement" admitting be
was the same man who. as Dr.
Joseph C. Cyr, served with the
Canadian navy and performed del
icate surgery despite only elemen
tary medical training.
DeMara, nearly six feet tall and
weighing over 250 pounds, told po
lice he went to remote North Hav
en 12 miles off the Maine coast
because of its isolation.
He said he "half and half" ex
pected to be unmasked.
Only a few of the island's 415
residents claimed any suspicion
of DeMara, known as "one of
the best superintendents the Bap
tist Sunday school ever had."
Those who did, including Mrs.
George Merrian, wife of the is
land's Baptist minister, said they
were alerted because "Godgart
talked a lot unlike traditional
ly light-lipped Yankees.
It was this trait that led one is
lander to recall a magazine story
on DeMara and asked state police
to check on Godgart.
Police said DeMara s career
includes simultaneous Army and
Navy hitches, resulting in 114
years in a Navy prison for desertion.
He also has masqueraded as a
zoology professor at Notre Dame
Institute in Alfred, Maine. H
studied at De Paul University, at
tended theology school in Grand
Falls, N. B.p worked as an ac
countant at a Houston, Tex., hotel
and posed as a doctor of educa
tion to gain employment in the
Texas state prison system
1955.
Sir Harry Scott, until recently
head of Scotland Yard and one of
England's top detectives, says
newspapers have been one of his
strongest aids in tracking down
criminals.

Leod, B.C., to the Yukon border,
Williston said.
"There is every indication this
corporation means business," Wil
liston added. "Already three sur
vey contracts have been let total
ing more than three million dol
lars." As illustration of good faith,
Williston said, $500,000 has been
deposited with the British Colum
bia government. ,
Prince George, 465 miles north
of Vancouver and in the geograph
ical center o! the province, would
be the gateway to the develop
ment, Bernard Gore, managing direc
tor of the Wenner-Gren British
Columbia Development Co., said
that if the development is carried
through at least one pulp mill of
not less than 100,000 tons annual
capacity would be built, also saw
mills, hydroelectric power uniU,
townsites, roads, hospitals and
schools.
The memorandum of agreement
by Williston said surveys are to
be completed by the end of 1358,
and construction of the monorail
railway started not later than
April 1, 1960.
The Vancouver Province said
the cost of the entire project
could be near one billion dollars.
