Colossal figure in the dimu- nitive was Fiorello Henry La- Guardia, the 5 foot 3 inch David {who slew the Tammany Goliath jto become mayor of New York jand then went on to set other records. He was the first “reform” mayor ever reelected and the :first mayor to win three consecu- tive terms. He voluntarily retired fter serving 12 years.. A practioner of the rough and tumble, Mr. LaGuardia stepped on many toes and had his own stepped on many times, in cam- paign season and out. He had been called such things i jentitled to rest if not sustenance, ay beati a The Gadsden County Times it-|both of which are offered in gen- heey Ae ea d the article, which is 'erous quanitties at any of Key bank,” “vilifier with an unbridled ilustrated by three photographs, West's hostelries, restaurants and tongue,” “vain popinjay,” and “cad.” hiplash:-tengue.was ever) \ ready to do battle. Once during a campaign he picked up a head of cabbage and exclaimed, “my opponent’s head!” To the charge! that he had an “ungovernable 1 an ungovernable temper than a governable mind.” Scoffed at Prohibition “The tinhorns and the gamblers don’t like me,” he would say. “The black market operators don’t, like me and I don’t help; any of them to like me.” And he often heaped withering denuncia- tion on “politicians.” Enemies ac- cused him in turn of resorting to methods that would have given! machine politicians pause. A great dramatist, Mr. LaGuar- dia, while a member of Congress, brewed “beer” in both his Wash- ington and New York offices as a protest against national pro-; hibition. He waved a 25-cent| lamb chop and a $3 roast on the floor of the House of Represen- tatives to emphasize the high cost H of living shortly after World} War I. 1 | He addressed national groups | jin New York in their native language — Italian, German, or Yugoslav. When persecution of the Jews was at its height in Germany, a delegation of Nazis visited New York and the mayor gave them an escort of Jewish policemen. A | Nazi newspaper said that showed | “a gross lack of taste” and was | a “poor joke.” Decorated for Work For his UNRRA services, Pres- ident Harry S.

LaGUARDIA Mr. LaGuardia the highest civil decoration, the Medal of Merit, and said he tad earned “the gratitude of millions in the world who were threatened with starva- tion.” Truly Mr. LaGuardia lived ‘up to his reputation as “the little man who is everywhere.” He once | said he was mayor 24 hours a day. Packed into his varied career were experiences of a frontier boy in Arizona, consular attache, World War I flier, lawyer, presi- dent of the New York Board of Aldermen and Representative in Congress. Accomplishments as Mayor When he first entered office as was denied further financing by banks, but in short time he secured finances from the very bankers who had mayor, New York refused *to-handie ‘city bonds. Appraising his 12-year admin- istration in a municipal handbook (Mr. LaGuardia said that during his stay “the city government has acquired a soul—partisan politics, dishonesty, graft, selfishness, fa- \voritism have been entirely abol- | ished.” His administration’ built 60 schools, 200 playgrounds and si unification was achieved. At his insistence, the city purchased the Interborough Rapid Transit Com- pany and the Brooklyn-Manhat- tan Transit Company lines in 1940 for $326,000,000. The modern Indepenrent Subway was com- pleted. The outmoded Second Sixth and Ninth Avenue elevated lines were torn down, as was tht old Tombs prison. Banned Burlesque Shows Mayor LaGuardia declared war on rackets as soon as he took of- fice. Slot machines and various forms of gambling also were vigorously attacked. In 1937 he banned burlesque theaters, which he denounced # “glorifying filth and lewdness.” He compaigned against the sale of salacious mag- azines. Mr. LaGuardia’s sombrero — black in winter, tan in summer— became a national institution and one of his nicknames was derived from it, “The Hat.” The New York Daily News designated him as “Butch,” which it said better suited him than “Little Flower,” ; the English translation of Fio: lo, and this name stuck. His middle name was Enrico which he Anglicized to Henry. Some said that the brimmed hat of the plains wen’ wide- it back to Mr. LaGuardia’s days in , Arizona, where he lived on an Army reservation at Prescott—his father, Achilles, was an Army bandmaster. Others called it a pure affectation.
