NEW YORK, July 81 (AP)
"A convoy Of six privately
owned vans, carrying 81 thor
oughbreds, crashed the picket
line at Aqueduct race track to-
day and virtually assured that
today's nine race program
would be held despite a strike
by Stablehands and exercise
boys.
The convoy, bringing the
horses from Belmont, was es-
corted part of the way by Mas
Sau County police. The county
police, however, dropped off at
the city limits.
Windshields Of two vans were
shattered by bricks and rocks
thrown by the pickets. Previ-
ously two other vans had
crossed the picket lines and
brought nine horses from Bel
mont.
Trainers Take Over
After the van reached Aque-
duct, trainers took over and led
the animals to the stables and
Saddling areas.
Seventy-one horses had been
entered in the nine-race card.
OF these, 40 were stabbed at
Belmont, which is 5 miles from
Aqueduct. The stable help
went on strike last night, seek

however, reported for work.
Six of the pickets were ar

HEADLINE PERSONALITY
Mccormack Aware
Of T ask as Speaker

John William Mccormack,
Boston-born alumnuS of the
school of hard knocks, differs
in many ways from and diff
fered occasionally with Presi-
dent Kennedy and the late
Speaker Rayburn, whom he ap-
pears almost certain to sue
ceed. He nevertheless has had
great deal in common with
them.
Probably no one realizes bet
ter than Representative Nc
Cormack how difficult will be
the task and responsibility of
following Mr.. Rayburn as
Speaker and as third in line
of emergency succession to the
Presidency.
But as a faithful friend and
legislative and political ally of
Mr.. Rayburn with a 33-year
congressional record OF party
loyalty and generally liberal
outlook. he can give substantial
aid to Kennedy programs.
Cite Leadership Capacity
Few if any Capitol observers
expect him to have the power
and prestige that Mr.. Rayburn
built up. He is almost certain
to encounter more trouble in
trying to cope with the Re-
publican Southern Democratic
coalition and its leaders, Rep

presidential nomination. At the
1860 convention he reluctantly
accepted the title of convention
floor manager for Mr.. Kennedy
Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Nc
Cormack undoubtedly antici-
pate that much will continue
to be written about the reported
rift between them. The two men
from Massachusetts, did not
hit it off well as far back as
1947 when Mr.. Kennedy first
went to Congress. A veteran
House member recalls that
Democratic Leader Mccormack
more or less openly chided the
freshman Representative Ken
nedy for being too much of a
lone wolf in voting contrary
to leadership suggestions.
The situation was not i'm
proved when in 1854 the then

Leader in 1910 transferred that

years to a Northern Democrat.
Previously, the leadership had
been held generally by South

and political activity had not
been confined to Congress. In

Cormack for his help and in
tereSt. At the time Of her mar
riage. Mrs. Mccormack was a
member of the Metropolitan
Opera Company and has con-
tinued her interest in music.
Mr.. Mccormack explains he
has been too busy to have any
hobby except reading. A long
time associate said Mr.. Nc
Cormack is "the best read man
in Congress today" He does
not drink but enjoys nothing
better than munching or puff
ing on cigars.
Majority Leader in 40
Because of his knowledge of
tax matters Mr.. Mccormack
was put on the House Ways
and Means Committee only two
years after coming to Congress
He resigned from that commit
tee to become Majority Leader
in September. 1910, when Mr.
Rayburn first was elected
Speaker.
Three years ago, however. he
became an active member of
the House Space and Astro-
nautics Committee. He also has
been on the Government OPP
erations Committee in recent
years.
Mr.. McCormack's service as
House Majority Leader was
overshadowed by the power and
personality of Speaker Ray
burn. So far as could be re-
called, the two men never were
openly at odds on any major
issue. If differences of opinion
arose on how to handle spe-
cific legislation or stand on a
particular issue, Mr.. McCor-
mack deferred respectfully and
loyalty to Mr.. Rayburn.
So great was his respect and
affection for the late Speaker
that, as Acting Speaker toward
the close of the 1861 session
he refused to sit at the desk
in Mr.. Rayburn's office when
talking with newsmen or con-
ferring with colleagues.
AS floor leader Mr.. McCor-
mack showed tireleSs devotion
to work and a broad knowledge
and versatility.
In his earlier years he gained
recognition for his work on
the Ways and Means Commit
tee on tax, social security and
reciprocal trade legislation
Aides note that this experience
might stand him in good stead
as Speaker next year when the
House grapples with those same
issues. In some respects, the
record indicates he was more
liberal than Mr.. Rayburn.
AS a debater Mr.. Mccormack
has been one of the few re-
manning House members of the
"spell-binder school," He has
had a knack of getting the
last word and has been a skilled
"needler."
One of his most notable en-
counters occurred several years

count MS capacity Tor leader
ship. his powers of persuasion
and coneiliation and his per-
sonal popularity.
As Speaker, he could seldom
exercise his demonstrated talent
as an aggressive orator and an
adroit floor manager of legis-
lation. But colleagues who
have served longest and closest
with him say they have no
fear he would be supine or
partisan. They see no posi-
bility that he would let an
apparent personal GOODNESS
toward President Kennedy in
terfere with the prime job of
getting action on major ad-
ministration measures.
Differed on School Aid
His most prominent disagree
ment with Mr.. Kennedy this
year was on the question of
Federal aid to public and nom
public schools. Both men are
Catholics. Mr.. Kennedy re-
commended assistance only TO
public grade and high schools
for construction and teachers
salaries. Mr.. Mccormack con-
tended that no constitutional
question was involved in
Federal aid to parochial and
private schools and that he
would support such aid.
The extent to which Mr.. Nc
Cormack's views figured in the
defeat of school-aid legislation
this year cannot be determined.
He denied that he tried to pre-
vent the House from voting on
the issue if it wished.
Mr.. Mccormack has declared
that his prime purpose is to
keep the national interest para
mount. He contends that this
can best be achieved by main
tanning the Democratic Party
as "a responsible party whether
in the majority or the minor
ity." He emphasizes that the
governmental system as well as
the operation of a political
party often depends on a will
ingnesS for reasonable and
honorable compromise" He
regards himself as essentially
team man.
Began Public Career in II
Like President Kennedy, Mr..
Mccormack is tall and lanky,
often restless and of Irish an
cestry. The resemblance ends
there. Gray-haired, with bushy
eyebrows, sharp features and
penetrating eyes, Mr.. McCor-
mack will be 70 next December
81. He was left fatherless at
13 and obliged to leave public
school to help earn a living by
shining shoes and running er-
rands.
With a fondneSs for reading
and a gift for ready argument
qualities he still shows he
studied law in a Boston law
office and was admitted to the
Massachusetts, bar in 1918. He
began his career of public serv-
ice in 1917 as a member of the
Massachusetts, Constitutional
Convention. That position
could have exempted him from
military service but he enlisted
IN the Army and was in Off
GERS school when World War I
ended.
The year 1920 was a special
one for him because he mar
ried Harriet Joyce Of Boston
and was elected to the Massa-
chusetts State Legislature.
After three years in the MaSsa-
chusetts House and four in the
Senate, the last two as Demo-
cratic Leader, he was elected
to Congress in 1923 to fill an
unexpired term and has been
reelected ever since.
Help Child Welfare
Mr.. and Mrs. Mccormack, de-
scrfbed by friends as warm
hearted and charming COM
pany," have cared little for the
Washington social whirl. Mr..
Mccormack recalled recently
that they have never missed
evening dinner together
whether at home or at public
gathering.
Although childless, they have
done much for the welfare of
