THE MAYOR AND THE BOSSES
New York Herald Tribune)


Mayor ODwyer has shown a mind
of his own to the Democratic State
Committee and its leaders In the
LEGISLATURE, and the latter were
reported yesterday TO be right put
about that. They resent the Mayor
working with Governor Deweys
Republican state administration on
such pressing problems as housing
and the city's fiscal problem-and
they said so with a sense OF tim
ing which would have shown
certain GENTS had their purpose
been ironic. For within few hours
the Mayor vas sitting down with
only his pipe to comfort him III
contemplation Of the till at City
Hall. where, he found upon cleo
ton a month ago, there wasn't
nickel" And Governor Dewey in
the mean time, was launching IN
Albany q major program for re.
turn Of state contributions to Local
relief costs. on top Of another for
stabler and fairer state-municlpal
fiscal relationships, both possible
because there was some $3.50, OOO,O GOO
saved up in that till.
II strikes us that the Mayor has
simply met the Governors chal-
ienqe. with the result that, as TO
housing, emergency shelter Is al
last going up and sights have been
raised for the real solution, per-
manent housing. and. as to finance,
New York City has the substantial
opportunity to quit temporizing ana
plan a stable fiscal future for Itself.
New York State proposes to take
over a far larger part OF the re-
sponsibility for relief-the financial
risk that has rocked municipalities
finances-and to substitute stable
per-capita contributors for the
former shared taxes. which were
likewise unpredictable. Neither the
Mayor nor the state Democratic
leaders have come forward with
any alternative proposition; but the
Mayor has at least considered eacn
question, whether housing ore transit
or starved services, such as tne
public schools, with an open mlno
ard an awareness Of their inter-
relationship and their link with the
real question: Where will the money
come from? The Mayor apparently
realizes what the New York State
bosses do not: This Is not a yeai

age. Il was q fortnight all-embracing program
Instead Of only 100000 houses year Ithe limit

around 100000 houses IN two years.
The program also proposed:

This meant cracking down on new night clubs and

2 Immediate restoration Of L-4l. This Is the

moving units which are suitable for civilian use.
g. Keep all housing under $4,000 ana give the
largest share Of building materials to those putting
