Newburyport, Mass, Jan. g (UP) -Newburyport, even to its vaude- vile, is all right now, Mayor .Bossy" Gillis let it b. known to- day.
 Keeping a campaign promise, the former sailor turned dramatic critic for . day, yesterday, and reviewed four acts of variety at . local the ater.
 "That's more like it," he said, after the show. Anybody who'd kick at that show is crazy. If they keep it up I'll let 'em do business. If they start slipping again, I'll blow lem out of water!"
 Among other things, "Bossy" had promised his constituents "bigger and better vaudeville" on the sab bath.
 Having shaken up his police and fire departments, fired" . few "loafers" in the street department, and placed Sunday vaudeville on an amusing basis-alf during his first weak in ofice-"Bossy announced he would now put on the mayoral muffler.
 "I'm going |. to pipe down for awhilc," he declared. "We've got enough publicity so people can find Newburyport on the map, and now I'm going to stop t-lking and ac- complish somethin
 But before ho "piped down." the red-headed executive granted to the United Press an interview in which he expressed very decided ideas on most of the country's current prob Iems.
 "Make Al Smith president, tie the can on Secretary Wilbur, and strike off a congressional medal' for Chi cago's Mayor Thompson" said "Bossy," when asked what he'd like to see accomplished.
 The mayor was asked about world
 His Solution Policy
 "I think the United States ought to mind its own business. It's got enough to do just looking out for it's own affairs. It ought to look out for itself and to he'll with the rest of 'em."
 To him, the mayor said, the so- called Nicaraguan situation was Just one big question mark, but he supposed "America's armed forces the service boys-must go down there and protect the big boys in- terests."
 If Al Smith runs for president and fails to carry the republican city of Newburyport, it won't be the fault of this city's republican
 "Sure Smithll win," he observed. "I'm q rock-ribbed republican but I'm all for getting rid of Cal Cool idge and his law and order business. And l know . lot of other repub- licans in this strong republican city who arc backing Al Smith. Smiths . regular fellow"

 Anyone with half an eye could zee that prohibition is fop," said the mayor. "They, they're ped- ding liquor all over this town, and Newburyport aint the worst place on earth, either.
 "Hells bells, give 'em hard liquor and lots of it. What's the harm!"
 "A helluva shaking up of the army, navy and marine corps," is America's greatest need today, 'Bossy" believed.
 As for the navy, "they ought to tie the can on Wilbur and let men like Magruder, Mitchell and Sims take hold of things" said the mayor, who used to be sailor and says he knows his navies.
 "What about companionate mar riage?" the mayor was asked.
 Hell, Ssnd FEM Back
 "I don't know much about that" he said, "but strongly favor trial marriage. Hell, if you don't like 'em. send 'em back. If you bought an automobile and you didn't like it you wouldn't keep it, would you!"
 "Bossy" hailed Mayor Thompson as regular guy" "100 per cent. American who's doing good job, running the Limies out"
 Questioned as to his literary tastes, "Bossy" listed his favorites in this order: The Police Gazette, the National Petroleum News Che runs . filling station). and the works of Jefferson, Lincoln, Roose- welt, Nathan Hale land a lot of them old-timers."
