Ewart Chitty was appointed as secretary-treasurer , which position he held until his appointment to the Governing Body in November 1974.
When in Brooklyn, Chitty seems to have preferred younger men as roommates. The actual charge brought to the GB against Chitty was made by a former roommate and involved some sort of inappropriate conduct. The GB concluded that Chitty had homosexual tendencies, and asked him to resign.
