Wicks Resigns High Post In New York State Resignation Ends Political Battle With Gov. Dewey ALBANY, N.Y. UP —Sen. Arthur H. Wicks resigned today as the second highest official of New York state in an apparent compromise in his bitter political battle with Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. The veteran Kingston senator signed his resignation secretly at noon Wednesday to become effective today, after a special session of the legislature had adjourned sine die. Governor Dewey, in a message to the special legislative session, asked GOP senators to oust* Wicks as lieutenant governor for his “impropriety” in visiting convicted labor extortionist Joseph S. Joey Fay in Sing Sing prison. Wicks said “the refusal of my fellow senators to request my resignation or to take any other action against me completely vindicates me.” But Governor Dewey said Wicks’ letter, of resignation "speaks for itself.” He said he had asked

Says Economy Cuis Harm Unemployed 200 Unemployment Offices Closed , 'CLEVELAND, Ohio., UP — Economy cuts hurt the U. S. labor department “badly” but the prin-( cipal sufferers are the unorganized uriemployer, former undersecretary of labor Lloyd A. Mashburn said today. “We had to close up 200 federal employment offices,” Mashburn said. “That hurt the ordinary working man, especially the' one who belonged to no union.” j Mashburn quit his federal job Oct. 8, and is now an official in the Wood, Wire and Metal Lathers International Union (AFL). President Eisenhower accepted his resignation Oct. 12. the day he appointed James Mitchell new labor secretary. “Few people realize 75 percent of the work of the department is concerned with the unorganized.” Mashburn said. "The reason is that the union man goes to his local with his problems and they never reach the labor department.” Mashburn discounted reports there had been friction between former labor secretary Martin Durkin and other members of the cabinet. rThey got along well and he and the President were very friendly both before and after Durkin’s resignation,” he said, i Mashburn praised the late Sen. Robert A. Taft as “the most objective” member of the committee studying possible changes in the Taft-Hartley law.
