Mayorality Of New York Is A Dead-End Job By JAMES DEVLIN NEW YORK (AP)--A three-way scramble is on for the litering J job a) mayor of New York althoug shows that more often than not it tis a political dead end. The job of governing 8,000,000 people often has been rated as second only to the presidency. Yet no New York City mayor ever has gome on to the While House. Mayor Vincent R. Impellitteri can't even get on the ballot to run Jor re-election to the Nov. 3 ballot- ree major candidates are bit- terly fighting for the post that has led sp many to disillusionment or A y are: Democrat--Robert F. Wagner Jr., 43, son of the late senator for whom the Wagner Labor Relations Act was named. Republican -- Hzrold Riegelman, 61, long active in civic affairs but little in the public eye until the present campaign. Liberal--Rudolph Halley, 40, who was in the public eye of millions as chief counsel of the Kefauver crime committee in its televised Suestioning of underworld charac- rs. A fourth candidate, Clifford T. McAvoy, backed by the extreme |a left-wing American Labor party, is conceded no chance of winning. ODDS FAVOR WAGNER The city normally votes Demo- cratic, and betting odds at this point favor Wagner. But the citi- zens often cross party lines in a mayoral election and the experts are wary of making predictions. The possibilities are further com- plicatcd by a small registration and the sudden elimination of Im- pellitteri as a fourth candidate. Impellitteri, defeated in the primary by Wagner for the Dem- ocratic ination d he would run for re-election as an In- dependent. But a court ruled he had an insufficient number of valid names on his Independent nominating petition. A majority of the names were declared invalid because the signers had not regis- tered to vote. That raised the question of ers would turn. Most of his more prominent. backers switched to Wagner out of party regularity. But Impellitteri is regardeg as 'conservative' Democrat. Rie- a forces therefore hope to get some of the "'Impy" vote. PROMINENT BACKERS Wagner's backers include such nationally known figures as former presidez. Truman, Adlai E. Stev- enson, Senator Herbett man, representative Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., Averell Harriman and Ms. Franklin D.| Roosevelt. Riegelman, a decorpted veteran of two world wars, is\a colonel in the army reserves, President Eis- | enhower, in his closest approach to an excursion into lopal politics, wished Riegelman well at the out- set of the campaign. Riegelman's cam; mpaign theme is more efficiency and sound financ- ing in city government. alley, as city council president, vigorously opposed increases in subway fares, rents and the city sales tax. He hag fought for more public housing and better enforce- ment of housing laws. The Liberal Legion Protests Korea Move WINDSOR, Ont.

""Because they managed to sur- vive the ordeal of slaps and bangs, hot baths' and cold ones, the treat- ment was given the credit," he said... "Doubtless "some have suc- cumbed to the ill-advised use of some of the methods that might have survived if only nature had been given a chance."
