Commissioner Moses gave his one-sentence reply to the press before Mrs.,, Gristede received it: "If you like the foreign parks so much, why don't you patronize them?" Furious, Citizen Gristede led reporters to Central Park. A cameraman took a picture of a big rat foraging among the pigeons...

The M.P.s had stupidly followed the line of an A.C.L. district chief, who said the railroad did not want "that kind of publicity." A terse directive from the War Department told the M.P.s to stop meddling...
