Crime and racketeering will re- ceive his close attention through appointment of a police commis- sion pledged to end gang rule. Outstanding among specific iproblems is the new relief pro- { gram for the city’s jobless planned by Mayor-elect LaGuardia. Investigation of a practicable so is promised, He pledges reform in work of {the health department and reduc- tion in hospital expenditures along with “adequate hospitaliza- tion for the destitute and the un- employed.” Would Reform Schools In his mind is reform in the school system in which “the rich- est city in the world has overlooked its teachers.” He points to the crowding of pupils which deprives} — thent of eduicational services, “Political meddling must be stopped,” he says. Away from concrete reforms, | he promises that his administration will end the “political play on ra- cial differences” in New York. Backing him in his pledges is a turbulent political history. He went into offi¢e to the tune of cracked skulls and rioting at the polls, the widest disorder since the Fusion upheaval in 1913. The mayor cleared one polling place himself. the building. “You're thugs,” he shouted. “Get out of here and keep moving.” They kept moving. His election marks his second | try at the position, Jimmy Walk- jer defeated him for the office in 1929. He was also defeated for Congress in the last election aft- fer being elected the first time in 1916. GRASS FIRE AT.
