New York, Sept 2. (UP)-Hand-- some, 43-year-old Joseph Vincent Mckee, one-time professor or Greek, succeeded the wise-cracking playboy, James J. Walker, as mayor of Americas largest city to- day and took temporary control or that city from Tammany Hall.
 The flashy dress, traditional tar diness, and general gaiety of the song writing mayor who resigned last night, left the mayoralty omce with him, for Mckee is student, judicial and serious.
 Further, he is a political protege of a Fordham university ,classmate' Edward J. Flynn, secretary of state for New York, and an ardent sup porter of Franklin D. Roosevelt as opposed to Tammany Hall.
 "Holy Joe," some political asso- ciates have called Mckee. They have, however, respected his abll- ity. They know his requirements for a public official; honest, effi- cient and unselfsh service," as he himself once put it.
 The new mayor, who is entitled to write with his name the degrees A. B., A. M., ILL. B., and L. l.. D., has shown himself willing to light

for such things as the five cent fare, 8-hour work day for women and children. minimum wage laws, suffrage, and to fight against the 18th amendment, and the state boxing law.
 Also, he once publicly corrected a city alderman who persisted in pronouncing Goethe as goat dur ing an aldermanic meeting. He is an amateur horticulturist and reads the Latin and Greek poets, but doesn't brag about it among "the boys"
 When he became president of the board of aldermen, which until then frequently adjourned in the middle of a fist fight, he changed the laws of procedure and made them parliamentary. Also, he had each session opened with prayer. a different clergyman each meet ing.
 Mckee once was a newspaper man. He wrote under the name of James W. Dawson, reporting for local papers while he taught school. He also wrote magazine stories, and is the author of a text book, "The Period of Discovery" used in New York schools.

Berlin, Sept 2- GU.

Hitler said the heights of impassioned oratory. waving his arms, fairly screaming his denunciation of the "Lord's Club" cabinet and shaking his nst into the air in the meeting which lasted an hour and a half last

CROSS CAN
 PUT LEARY ON TICKET
The Local City Controller Is Backed Unanimously By Old Guard and His Many Followers in the Other Faction

Whether or not Controller Dan- iel J. Leary of this city will be nominated fo~ the office of lieu tenant-governor at, the democratic state convention in New London r-xt week lies entirely in the hands of Governor Wilbur l.. Cross. This was the situation existing to-day ss reports, very authentic, were re- ceived to the effect that out of the two slates presented by the old and new guards for the major places on the ticket the two factions are only agreed on Controller Leary.
 Reports to-day were that Dr E. G. Dolan of Manchester, new guard leader, would not be backed by his own faction for the lieutenan-gov- ernorship. Neither will ex-Mayor Fred Atwater of Bridgeport, also g new guard adherent.
 Both factions favor Controller Leary of this city in view of his ex- cellent run of two years ago. The old guard is behind him entirely. The new guard favors him but plans to leave the final sanction of the local man up to Governor Cross, who it is expected will head the state ticket once more despite his threat to withdraw as a candi date from the slate as the guber- material nominee once more. s5s
 Local old guard leaders contin- ued today to believe that an an- icable settlement between the two factions would be reached before the state convention opens next week. Controller Leary is prepared to stay in the race and let the fight go. if necessary, into the hands of Governor Cross.
 In view of the strong support given Governor Cross in Water bury two years ago it is felt here that the chief executive of the state will not take any stand which would rob this city of representa- ton on the state ticket this year.

 As the second door fell and Tes- ta rushed into the lightless room shouting warnings to- surrender, the looters scrambled for safety. Testa's gun blazed and the bullet found a mark in the lung of Thompkins. Clinton Pearsons, 2S, quickly surrendered but third escaped. The shooting featured the seventh day of a miniature crime wave here during which five armed robberies occurred within six days. Police Chief George J. Sheen is i'll and absent from duty.

VETERANS HAVE NO CLAIM UPON

Once the Borrowing Pow CT of His Bonus Certi= fcate Is Exhausted = But Conn Takes Care of Them

Washington, Sept 2.-(UP)-A veteran, jobless and down on his luck has no special claim on the federal government for assistance, once the borrowing power of his bonus certificate is exhausted, ac- cording to the veterans adminis- tration. The administration made this statement after being advised the Connecticut state legislature has taken matetrs into its own hands and voted an appropriation to provide winter barracks for the states unemployed veterans.
 Congress has provided funds for hospitals and soldiers homes for i'll and aged ex-servicemen. How ever destitute veterans must rely solely on private charity. Any veteran, it was explained, who has an honorable discharge may apply for medical treatment at one of the scores of hospitals erected throughout the country by the fed eral government. It is not neces- sary that the illness result from army service.

 New York, Sept 2-(UP)-James J. Walker, mayor of Anherica's largest city, has resigned under fire, to "seek vindication with the people,"
 In a dramatic outburst against the forces seeking his removal from office on charges of official misconduct, the country's most picturesque municipal executive refused to face the 18th day ofa trial before Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 Walker will run for reelection to his $40,000 a year position at the earliest election prescribed by law, probably this November.
 The 96th burgomaster of New York, and the first to resign while charges were pending against him. was automatically succeeded by Joseph V. Mckee, schorarly den1- ocratic president of the board of aldermen.
 Walkers resignation came with all the flair for drama and human emotion that has colored spec tacular career. It came not only while he was facing his 18th day in the witness chair. battling against an implacable host of state investigators, but as a climax to a day which saw him, physically and emotionally broken, weeping

BY DELOS SMITH

United Press Staff Correspondent.
 New York, Sept 2-(UP)--Seven Chicago gunmen. dinner guests of Magistrate Albert Vitale on the evening of Dec 8, 1929, precipitated the political tempest which, nearly three years later, swept Mayot James J. Walker from office.
 From an investigation into Magis- trate Vitales' alleged connections with the underworld. there grew an inquiry into the entire New York magistracy. Conditions exposed in that inquiry, under the probing of former Judge Samuel Seabury, led to investigation by a legislative committee of every department of the municipal administration. The murder of Vivian Gordon and the subsequent suicide of her 16-year- old daughter crystallized public opinion.
 In the first inquiry, the immedi- ate results were the resignations of three city magistrates, the removal of two, and prison sentences for six corrupt patrolmen.
 The second inquiry resulted in two major achievements for Tammany's enemies-the removal of Thomas (Tinbox Tom) Farley. sheriff of New York county by

 New York, Sept 2.-UP)- James J. Walker plays the little tinkling tunes on the piano that please the multitudes, by ear, just as he has played politics "by ear."
 He possessed a personal magnet ism that his fellow legislators when he went to the assembly 23 years ago found irresistible. He had a ready wit, and a self-possession that was amazing. His speeches struck home and won votes.
 Meanwhile, while Jimmy Walker was making up his mind whether he would prefer to be a politician or a. song writer-and his little bal lad, twill You Love Me in Decen- Der As You Did in May" was sweeping the country-older politi- cal heads showed him a glowing land of political adventure. Jimmy gave up his song writing for political career.
 He came under the aegis of Gov ernor Al, Smith, and for a period the two leaders of New York state democracy were, as Walker would have said "buddies and pals"
 It was on AIS solicitation that Walker became the democratic reg ular organizations candidate for mayor. That meant he support of Tammany.

By FRANI1 MURPHY United Press Staff COrrespondent

(Unlteu freSS stan COrfeSpOndcnt)
 Brookline, Mass, Sept 2.-(UP) Captain Francis Ouimet of the American Walker cup team fought a courageous uphill battle to take a lead of 1 up over Captain Tony Torrance of Great Britain today at the halfway mark of their 36-hole singles match.
 ouimet, starting poorly in the first of today's eight singles matches, was three down at the turn of the morning round, but coming in he played par golf while Torrance became a bit unsteady.
 Coming to the 18th green all even, Oulmet took the lead by two- putting the hole while Torrance overran the green on his second shot and couldn't put his chip any nearer than eight feet to the pin. He missed the putt by a foot.
 America continued to dominate as Jess Sweetser stopped for lunch with a lead of 2 up over John Stout, longest hitter in the tourna- ment.
 Sweetser topped off the nip-and- tuck morning round by sinking an 18-foot putt for birdie three on the 405-yard 18th hole. Stout, putting first, had just missed sink ing a 25-footer by a fraction of an inch. Sweetser's birdie was the first on this hole during the com- petition.
