THE POLITICAL MILL
Democrats In No Quarter Fioht
BY GOULD LINCOLN

Mr.. Wagner's candidacy for
reelection. 1t seemed their
only way to vent their wrath
on Mr.. DeSapio, the Tam
many leader who had crossed
them at the time Of the
Democratic State Convention
in 1858. refusing to take one
Of their number as q candi-
date for United States Sena-
tor. So the Wagner campaign
has been waged on the issues
OF "bossism." Members Of this
group have decreed that the
bosses" the organization
leaders, must 60. 1t seems
strange since Mr.. Wagner and
prominent members of the
Reform Group have in the
past not only played along
with these bosses, but have
had the benefit of their sup
port. What Mr.. Wagner and
the Reform Group will sub
stitute for "the bosses" is a
nice question. Mr.. Wagner
might undertake to run the
city organization himself
which conceivably might
make him a boss" Generally
1t is supposed he would be-
come the top Democratic dog
in New York City-and in the
State-if he should win re-
election.
President Keeps Hands OFF
President Kennedy at his
press conference on Wednes-
day declared he was playing
no favorites in this Demo-
cratic row in New York City.
His emphatic no" when he
was asked by a reporter
whether he favored either
side has made it impossible
for either group to claim
support Of the party's ma
tional leader. In the past,
however, the Kennedy ad-
ministration has been in
clined to go along with the
Reform Group and Mr..
Wagner. The President, It
appears, is not going to risk
any prestige of his own in
this Democratic squabble.
Gov. Rockefeller and the
Republicans in New York City
have a stake in this mayor
atty election. They are aim
ing to make the best showing
in such an election since the
days Of the late Fiorello La
Guardia "a Republican, on a
fusion ticket. a score Of years
ago. The Governor, himself.
has much popularity in the
city. He has been doing his
utmost to build up the city
organization in aid Of the
G. o. P. candidate. Louis Lef-
kowitz, attorney general. The
Republican hope lies, 1t seems.
in victory for Mr.. Levitt in
the Democratic primary and
a three-man race for mayor
in November. Mr.. Lefkowitz
conceivably could, squeeze
through to victory. There is
no doubt that a huge number
of citizens have become
aroused over their govern
ment's failings-particularly
in the matter of street crime
and in the public school mess.
A good many wanted a "fu-
sion" ticket-but this did not
fit in with the plans Of Dem
ocratic State and national
leaders. The election of a
Democratic mayor was con-
sidered necessary In view of
the coming gubernatorial
election next year. A fusion
mayor might have been a gift
to Gov. Rockefeller, who will
seek reelection. .

really take a punch at Casey, and
get sold to Baltimore as a result,
as has often been said? Did Sic
bern and other young players
really suffer from Stengel's acid
heckling?
For our interviews, we picked
men who were no longer in the
Yankee organization, so that they
would feel free to talk. A few =
Joe DiMaggio for one = wouldn't
say anything one way or the other.
The rest were nearly unanimous
in a surprising opinion: not only
do they have no serious conf
plaint against Casey Stengel but
they consider him the greatest
manager and most cOlOrful per-
sOnality in modern baseball.
Here is the verdict of the men
who knew Casey Stengel best, the
players who worked for him:
GIL MeO0UGALD. nOtO a scout
for the ne,U NetU York National
League club and president Of the
Yankee Building Maintenance Co.,
of Mutley, N. j.: ''Casey used to
needle me every time he could.
But he always got on me for a
reason. The reason was that it
got me madden than anybody ever
could and Stengel knew | played
better ball when l was steamed up.
You see, Case knew which guys
he could gig and which ones he
couldn't.
''For instance, he never ripped
Phil Rizzuto. One day, after game
in which l had done pretty darn
good at bat and in the field, he
called a meeting and ripped me up
and down numerically before the
whole team.
''I couldn't figure out what |
had done wrong. Then suddenly
it dawned on me. RizzutO was
sitting right next to me. Casey
was trying to bawl out Phil by
having the words bounce off me.
He gave me the black looks, lashed
out at me = but everything he
said happened to apply to the
Scooter that day. By some reverse
psychology he hoped Phil would
get the sidearm message - with
out being hurt too badly.
Casey often looked at one man
when he was talking to someone
else. Just before picking out a
pinch-hitter in a tight spot, he'd
pace up and down the dugout and
