*
Resigns, Levels
Harsh Criticism
Politics Will Not Guide
Choice of Successor,
New Chairman Says
Wilmington (AP) Col George
W. Gillette quit Tuesday as exec
utive director of the North Caro
lina Ports Authority after angrjly
charging that "politics and petty
jealousies" influence that body's
actions.
Attending the meeting from
Morehead City was J. D. Holt, man
ager of the Morehead City port.
Gillette's resignation, effective
Dec. 31, was immediately accepted
by the authority. Members denied
Gillett's charge of politics.
As the authority met to settle
the long simmering issue of Gil
lette's status, he handed the mem
bers two prepared statements.
The first one told the authority
he had planned to resign for some
time but had remained on under a
"gentleman's agreement" with A.
G Myers of Gastonia, the authori
ty's chairman who himself resigned
Saturday. Myers, Gillette said,
had asked him to remain until he
stepped down as chairman.
The second statement, much
Col. G. W. Gillette
. . . quits ports job
longer and stronger worded, was
given the authority after its mem
bers had voted unanimously ' ^ Re
cept Gillette's resignation.
"Let no man tell you that we
don't have politics in our organi
zation here. We do. And unless
the North Carolina State Ports Au
thority is placed on a business
basis as free from politics as pos
sible you might as well lock the
doors and throw the key in the
river ..."
He added that it "may be better
to let the (port) facilities out to
private operators" if the ports are
not removed from politics but then
he said:
"No individual of character and
ability and no business wants any
thing to do with a political port."
