clared that the man he was urging the voters
to elect had 'the zeal of St. Paul, but the
manners of St. Vitus."
Anyway, the LaGuardia administration,
with Moses as Park Commissioner, chairman
of the Thorough Bridge Authority, MEM
Der of the City Planning Commission and
general handyman, has been one OF constant
physical activity. Not only have parks and
parkways and bridges and tunnels come into
existence, but no less than 437 Fairgrounds,
II public outdoor swimming pools and
and outdoor opera. Zoos have been trans
formed, dumps turned into beauty spots
1t is Moses, too, who has been the spark
plug in New York's slum-clearance program
and the building of new, low-cost housing
Developments Some of his bitterest verbal
battles have been over these projects, espe-
cially with the academic" planners. (He has
a PhD degree himself, as we'll as an honor
ary LID, but when he uses the word "aca-
demic' it is as damning epithet)
He Plans Postwar Jobs Now
In THE early years of his commissionership,
Moses had an army of relief workers assigned
to him by the federal government. For
months, he kept up running fight with
Washington over red tape and regulations,
insisting on firing loafers and keeping big
enough planning staff to put the rest to work
on worthwhile projects, instead of leaf
raking and sidewalk polishing"
That experience makes him doubly anxious
for our cities to have real jobs ready when
this war ends. 1t will cost money? Yes, he
admits it; but so, he points out, would relief,
which he thinks is the only alternative until
industry can take up the slack in postwar
manpower So, since we are going to pay our
money anyway, why not make it buy us
start on the City of Tomorrow?
That is what Robert Moses thinks all SEN
sble cities will do.

wanted for park. He had it condemned,
and called in the state police to take posses
sion. Pledging more money for the land than
and Smith persuaded the philanthropist
August Heckscher to donate the funds. This
technicality, however, gave the opposing
group grounds for legal action, and they sued
Moses for damages during his military occu-
patton" of the land. The court awarded
them six cents, and hundreds of people
sent Moses six cents to pay the judgment.
Meanwhile, he went ahead with the
park: now the Heckscher State Park.
Continuing as chairman of the State Coun-
Gil of Parks, president of the Long Island
State Park Commission and various other
jobs under Governor Roosevelt and Governor
Lehman Moses took time out in 1894 to run
against Lehman, but failed of election. That
same year, however, Fiorello LaGuardia
took Office as Mayor of New York City and
appointed Moses Park Commissioner. They
have been a vigorously progressive, if some
what temperamental, team ever since; and
each gives the other great credit for their
Joint accomplishments - at the same time
tossing each other occasional brickbats. The
Mayor, who refers to his Park Commissioner
humorousy as His Grace, is said to have
form letter with which to acknowledge his
various designations:
"Your communication of ---, request
ing termination OF your services (CHECK ONE:
Immediately, forthwith, in is days, upon COM
bLetion of present brojecD has been received
and wiH be granted due consideration"
Moses, for his part, has described the
Mayor as "a bundle of contradictions, uncer-
tain whether to be conservative or radical,
artist or tough boss, broad-minded cosmopoli-
tan or uncompromising reformer -. but the
best mayor in our history" Campaigning for
him in the last election, the Commissioner
hit new note in political oratory when he de-

yersations. On terms of first-name intimacy
with hundreds of the nations leading indus
trialists and officials, he is just as quick to
tell them that their ideas are hidebound or
ridiculous as he is to denounce lesser fry, such
as what he calls the ''lunatic fringe" of New
York uplifters.
He has been battler ever since he started
to shave. As student at Yale, back in 1909,
he took on no less an opponent than the inn
mortal Walter Camp when he proposed that
some of the proceeds from football gate re-
ceipts be used to build up the less profitable

Dur it is as the man of action, the example
setter, probably more than as the caustic de-
batter that Moses spreads his ideas and his
influence Cities all over the country have
taken leaves from his pioneering book: max
ing traffic more orderly for instance, with
pretzel-like "clover-leaf' road functions and
overpasses; making public beaches and other
recreation centers more usable by the crea-
ton of adequate approaches and huge park
ing spaces; making it easier to get in and out
of the metropolitan areas by new, fast drives
and bridges, many of them self-liquidatlng
through tolls which motorists gladly pay for
the saving of their time and nerves.
Today, for example, if you are driving
north from New York, you don't roll
through endless miles of busy streets.
You drive along the Hudson River on fine
express highway, cross the Harlem River
on the great Henry Hudson Bridge Oor 10
cent tolD, sail along on the Henry Hudson
Parkway to Westchester County and its net
work of parkways, and 50 on toward your des-
tination Just pleasant drive of half an hour
or so, instead of two hours or more of tor
tuous trafic-bucking It took Robert Moses
to make that possible - but people had been
talking about it and recommending it for
almost half century. In 1904 an appropria-
ton even was made for plans for the Henry
Hudson Bridge.
But actually, all that was built was par
tially-completed statue of Henry Hudson -
until the legislature created the Henry Hud-
son Parkway Authority (after due prodding)
with Robert Moses as the sole member. Issu-
ing bonds on the strength of the tolls which
would be charged on the bridge taking ad-
vantage of relief workers then available and
state and federal moneys also available, he
pushed the whole improvement through.
Opening with a one-level bridge, the traffic
Immediately was so great - and toll revenue
50 much greater than the carrying charges -
that the postponed second level was started
within year.
"ViiouAxy''?
lHAr, of course, is only one sample of
Mr. Moses operations. 1t was as Governor
Al Smiths Secretary of State and right-hand
man "a relationship which came about
through mutual admiration, even though
Moses has always been Republican - that
he started his career as creator of public
projects He worked out a state park plan
which the politicians laughed at as too vision
ary. But Moses, with Smiths backing, went
ahead Today there is state park within easy
driving distance of practically every city and
town in the state of New York.
Moses ran into particularly bitter opposi-
ton on Long Island, where wealthy New
Workers complained that the creation of parks
would ruin the privacy of their big estates.
THE poor millionaires," Moses sneered; and
when one of them argued that proposed
concrete parkway would ruin their hunts by
making the dogs lose the scent of the fox,
he sarcastically suggested that maybe he
could put tunnel under the road for the fox.
When a delegation protested to AL Smith
that Moses scheme would overrun the beaches

sports. Swimming was his forte.) Shocked
at the very idea, Camp objected vigorously.
But young Bob enlisted the yale Courant"
in his campaign. and pushed it so hard that
the university adopted the plan - which, of
course, has since become common practice
in many colleges.
