...supplies for the attackers. By a curious coincidence, the governor happens to be a longtime collaborator of the Moroccan Liberation Army, whose most fanatic members, their fight against France won with independence, moved south last year to the borders of the areas still controlled by Spain. Goulimine's mayor, the governor of nearby Tiznit, and most other Moroccan officials around Ifni are former Liberation Army leaders. On the wall of the governor's office was a map of "Greater Morocco" showing not only Ifni but also all of Spanish West Africa and French Mauritania as part of King...

...Mayor Wagner last May set the enactment of this bill as a chief aim of his administration; and it was steered through the City Council by Majority Leader Joseph T. Sharkey, Councilman Earl Brown, and Minority Leader Stanley Isaacs. As originally conceived, the bill would have made discrimination in rentals punishable by a fine of $500. This stronger version, however, was weakened in committee; and as finally passed the law provides for no punitive measures and includes a more elaborate procedure for pressing complaints than was originally desired by the bill's sponsors...
