Wicks Explains Sing Sing Visit as Peace Tactic
New York Acting Lieutenant Governor Arthur H. Wicks defended his visits to jailed labor extortionist Jory Fay at Sing Sing as a bid to keep labor peace and avoid strikes. He compared his actions to seeking peace through audienc es with Stalin or Marshal Tito, and said his aim was to prevent jurisdictional disputes in his district. The disclosure that 38 people, including Wicks, visited Fay sparked political furor and Dewey pressure over Wicks’ Senate leadership.
