HEADLINE PERSONALITY
New Porty Chieftoin
Is q Political ReoIist

HARTFORD. Conn. Jan. 81
(AP).-John Moran Bailey, the
new national chairman of the
Democratic Party, looks like a
political party boss.
He Is bald, wears dark suits
with vests, walks with a SLOUGH.
and smokes big cigars.
But Mr.. Bailey'S resemblance
to the typical party boss ends
there.
He doesn't slap backs. doesn't
glad-hand voters, doesn't have
a reputation for remembering
names. and he seldom volun-
teers statements on anything.
A political reporter once OBJ
served that he thought. he was
getting to know Mr.. Bailey
better.
Bailey didn't notice me for
q long time" the reporter said.
But now he blow cigar smoke
in my direction"
Another newsman once wrote
q column about the dozen or
more times he had met Mr..
Bailey without becoming known
to him,
: It Is certain, however. that
Mr.. Bailey remembers every
one he wants to remember.
And he always remembers
where the votes are.
3O.Year Experience
The 56-year-old Bailey is a
prosperous lawyer and q re-
spected political pro with more
than 30-year experience.
Like President Kennedy, and
like all Democratic chairmen
during the last 81 years except
Senator Jackson, Democrat OF
washington, whom Mr.. Bailey
succeeds, the new chairman is
q Roman Catholic.
He Is invariably described as
o tough-minded, tireless, polit-
ical realist, who lives and
breathes politics.
His nutshell formula for po-
litlical success: Good candidates,
good issues, good organization,
One good candidate that Mr.,
Bailey persuaded to enter pub
lie life was another Hartford
lawyer, Abraham Ribicoff. now
Secretary Of Health, Education
and Welfare.
Together. they rose to spec
tacular political success In
Connecticut. The Ribicoff land
slide in 1858 brought Democrats
to the peak Of their power In
the State.
Together they helped pro-
mote the political ambitions OF
senator kennedy ana are now
among the Presidents closest
advisers.
Studied at C. u.
Mr.. Bailey was born in Hart
ford, the only child Of DR.
Michael A. Bailey and Louise
Moran Bailey. He went to Cath
olice University in Washing
ton, d. c.. where he won letters
in baseball, basketball and foot
ball, and was graduated from
Harvard Law School in 1929.

Within the last two years.
Jesse Owens lost his world rec
ord in the. broad jump, re-
covered four Olympic Gold
Medals and went about twice as
far as he ever did as an athlete.
That's a tall order for any
grandfather, but Owens, now
48, is and always has been a
rather extraordinary fellow.
Now a member of the Illinois
Youth Commission, Owens was
in town last night to speak at
a banquet honoring Boiling
Fields boxing champions. He
talks about as rapidly as he
once ran, and he still jumps
about-150,000 miles in the past
two years making appearances
and speeches, and coaching.
For a quarter of a century
Owens broad jump of 1884
stood alone while other records
tumbled. Then Ralph Boston,
the slender jumper from Ten
nessee ASSI, not only broke
Owens ancient mark, but three
weeks ago cleared the 27-foot
barrier.
That boy" said Owens,
learned the secret. The record
lasted as long as 1t did because
nobody combined height with
speed"
Owens smiled. "I used to get

of my jump, that's my secret
Other jumpers, like Greg Bell
and Bo Robertson, had the
speed. But Boston is the first
to get that height, too"
Now that 27 feet has been
topped, Owens figures it's only
a matter of time before some
one is going to clear % feet.
He also envisions within the
next decade such things as a
16-foot pole vault, a mile near
$50 and a 220-yard dash run
under 20 seconds.
But nobody, he said, is GO
ing to crack nine seconds in
the 100-yard dash. "The race
simply is too short and the
speed too great" he said.
"Sprinters now run about SO
miles per hour. They can't
get started and go much faster
than that"
Owens claims that athletes,
because they are bigger and
stronger, are better now than
they were 80 years ago. He
also points out, however, that
conditions now are more ideally
suited for a rash of broken rec
ords. In his day, sprinters did
not use starting blocks or have
the advantage of featherweight
shoes, vitaminS, faster tracks or
improved coaching techniques.

and returned the $2,500 bonus.
He signed with the Chargers

A Mississippi District Court

The postponement was
