WALKER IS RIGHT, SAYNEW YORKERS %“Maybe We’re All Getting 0ld,” Laments Jack Dempsey. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 15—This thing Jimmy Walker says about New York—"No more neighborhood spirit . a mere workshop . . . nothing but l cnlcssal grand Centrnl Depot. where people run in and out . . ."—must be the truth. At least you can't find any one within a javelin toss of Broadway or Grand Central itself who will disagree with the former mayor's appraisal of the big town's neighborhood morale.

Cohan, the actor- man, now il in bed, but still able to remember when the Dutch bought the island from the Indians. “Of course, Jimmy’s right. The old #pirit is gone, along with most of my pals.

And Jack Dempsey, the Manassa, Colo., boy who made good here as & puncher and restaurant proprietor: “Nope, it's not what it used to be. You sure get home earlier nights now. Maybe we're all getting old.” Fanny Brice, one of the rare natives: “That's right. Neighborliness seems to have disappeared somewhere.

Most of New York’s important poli- ticians are a bit chary of flying as a sort of a tail to Jimmy Walker's kite, even when he merely expresses his homesickness for the “good old days” ‘m the course of public remarks. But privately they feel the same. ‘The big traffic cop on the corner of Madison and Iorty-fourth added one idea. “Say,” he said, “even the gangs are the bargains—but hurry! nd ss Low as $1.50 Per Month aluminum set F.
