Jimmy Walker Uses His Head; That's Why He Stays on Top

Mayor Is ‘a Grea' Little Guy’ With the Masses, Though He’s Far From Great Executive. BY PAUL HARRISON NBA Service Writer NEW YORK, March 24.—How does Jimmy Walker get away with it? Why does the breath of civic scandal, so frequently directed against his administration, leave his own popularity so little tarnished? Nominally he is the mayor of a city of some 7.000,000 persons, many I of whom are clamoring for a sweeping inquiry into the conduct of his ! office. Officially he is the head of a vast corporation spending nearly $600,000,000 annually, and allegedly | not all of it wisely. Actually he is a part-time execuj tive with a genius for delegating his responsibilities to subordinates. But practically, so far as the masses are concerned, James J. Walker is a “great little guy,” and as much a part of the metropolitan picture as Times square and the skyscrapers and the night clubs. Keeps Broadway Flavor His clothes and his manner never have last their Broadway flavor. There are few who criticise his extravagances or his social activities. His top hat is not a “high hat.” He has to keep moving. Conferences bore him: routine work seems utterly impossible. Receptions to celebrities, publicity stunts with plenty of cameras, all kinds of public speeches and corner stone layings are stimulating. It is this same excessive nervous energy that keeps him from reading. He seldom more than scans the headlines in the newspapers, and often has been quoted as saying that he never read a dozen books from cover to cover in his life, including even the texts he used in school. Grasps Problems Quickly The path to the mayor’s brain is through is ears. Colleagues in the legislature said he never heard a bill through: he simply asked some one to tell him about it. When there is important city business to be considered he summons an expert, lights another cigaret, paces up and down, and listens. He grasps the heart of each problem in an amazingly short time. Whatever his penchant for public night life, he indulges it less than generally is supposed. True, he still may go to four or five dinners and parties in a single night, but only to shake a few hands, make a few wisecracks, and be off to another function. It is his inability to decline invitations that is largely responsible for his habitual tardiness. Jimmy’s Nearly 50 After all, though he looks to be in his 30’s, Jimmy Walker is nearly 50. It has been years since he climbed over the footlights on an opening night at the theater to exchange gags with comedians and pose with the chorus. He still keeps abreast of the current drama, and seldom misses a prize fight at the Garden. But few of the Broadway “hot-spots” ever seee “Hizzoner” any more. He prefers to dance and play the piano at the apartments of his friends. Mrs. Walker, plump, smiling and silent, even when she accompanies her husband about town, is almost totally eclipsed by his popularity. The mayor is the best traveled official in the history of New York. He Las jaunted over most of this country, through Canada, and has sunned himself in Havana, Bermuda, Florida and now in California. Rough and ready old Tammanyites shuddered when he sailed for Europe in the royal suite previously

occupied by Queen Marie—and took a valet. In London Paris. Dublin, Berlin, Munich, Rome and Venice he kept celebrities waiting, and was wined ams dined to the point of chronic indigestion. Doctors say the mayor’s health requires frequent trips, and Walker himself declares he no longer drinks cocktails or smokes so many cigarets. He has a birdlike appetite, and seldom eats anything at banquets. Automobiles are a phobia with him. He’d prefer to walk or take the subway, but permits himself to be driven slowly to city hall in his big limousine, while he clutches the seat in anticipation of disaster. After he had been successful in winning a $15,000 increase in salary for himself, he declared that the full amount of the raise would be given to charity every year. There are twenty-four telephones in the Walker home, and a radio loudspeaker in almost every room. The mayor like Amos ’n’ Andy. The same tailor has served him for eighteen years, and the wardrobe of the musical comedy mayor now is supposed to consist of some thirty business suits, fifteen overcoats, two full dress and two dinner suits, twenty hats, 200 canes (mostly gifts), and innumerable accessories. Whenever and however his term of office ends, Mayor Walker seems assured of a prosperous business career.

WATSON SEES NO REASON TO CALL CONGRESS President Is Expected to Welcome Decision of Majority Chief. By Scripps-Hoicard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, March 24.—A special session of congress to furnish further relief for the unemployed and tax increases to meet the threatening treasury deficit have been ba.rned by Republican leaders of congress, and President Hoover, now absent on a trip to the Caribbean regions, is expected to welcome this decision. In discussing both problems, Majority Leader Watson (Rep., Ind.) said he thought there would be no need for meeting them by calling congress back to the capital during the summer. He predicted conditions would improve, and that the slight “upturn” shown during February would continue. The suggestion that congress be asked to provide more generous assistance to the unemployed, now disclosed to be about 6,050,000, with additional millions on part-time work, has been voiced by Senator William E. Borah (Rep., Idaho), Senator Burton K. Wheeler (Dem., Mont.), and other sponsors of the recent progressive conference. Their

demands are expected to continue if their own study of unemployment shows it to be continuing or growing worse. The orogressive conference created a special committee, headed by Senator Robert M. La Follette (Rep., Wis.), to make a “speedy” survey of the jobless. They will not let the census figures affect their inquiry, but will go ahead with their own survey. They also will investigate the extent and sufficiency of the relief now given by private and public agencies, and make their report on that basis. Should they believe conditions to warrant it, and the 6,050.000 figure proves their earlier contention that unemployment is more widespread than the administration conceded, they will make a formal demand for a special session. Unless Hoover accedes, however, and it is not expected that he will, nothing more will be done to take care of this problem. The President, in his handling of the Wagner unemployment measures and his recent dictum that a Republican head the senatorial committee on unemployment insurance, has revealed he does not intend to let his political enemies make capital of the unemployment program.
