All Set for New Role
BY CHARLES L. HOFFMAN
star stan writer

-
BALTIMORE. May l6. -
Ebullient Thomas D'Alesandro,
ir.. his desk cleared Of work
and a new Cadillac in front
Of his house. is ready to take
up q new role.
For, 80 years ne has been
in public life, the last IL as
Mayor Of the Nations sixth
largest city.
Shortly after noon Tuesday
he will turn over Baltimore's
government to his successor,
J. Harold Grady. and leave
with his family for a rest at
Ocean City.
The peppery little man with
the mincing step will assume
personal operation Of his own
insurance business which has
seen its staff dwindle from II
to one since he became Mayor.
Colorful Figure
A colorful and controversial
figure. Mayor Tommy with his
ever present retinue is going
to be missed on the political
scene. Greetings of "Hi'ya
Tommy" welcome him where
ever he goes.
The outgoing Mayor is a
product of the school Of hard
knocks in getting elected. He
always has been the little
mans champion. Peeking out
of his office door recently, he
saw two business leaders and
a small Insignificant looking
man waiting. He told his
secretary:
Bring in the little guy. He
always votes. These other two
are liable to be in Europe on
election day"
The mayor-and it's going
to take time to accept anyone
else, as 'Mr. Mayor Likes
people. He rarely is seen alone.
One Of Thirteen
One of Is children, Mayor
Tommy clawed his way upward
from Little Italy, a district of
Baltimore, to serve first in the
State legislature at %. then
on the City Council and then in
Congress.
After 10 years in Congress,
where he became the unofficial
mayor of Washington as chair
man of the House District
Committee, he decided to run
for mayor of his own city.
He won in 1947, again in
1851 and a third time in 1855.
His last victory was the
sweetest.
That year Mayor Tommy,
plagued by personal troubles.
got out Of a hospital bed where
he had been suffering for
months from nervous exhaus-
ton, to find virtually every
political organization opposing
him. In a whirlwind campaign.
supported only by Northeast
Boss Jack Pollock, he piled up
a bigger vote than all his OPP
ponents combined and went on
to sweep by his Republican OPP
position in the general election.
Mayor Tommy. who has been
under almost constant attack
from hometown newspapers,

nevertheless has been a news

His boisterous talk always has
