Last week, seated in a wheel chair in Manhattan's Lenox Hill Hospital, where he was recovering from influenza, bull-necked Bob Wagner was baptized in the faith of Rome by Msgr. Robert F.

Though born a Lutheran (in Nastatten, Germany) and raised in the U.S. a Methodist, Senator Wagner's conversion occasioned no surprise.

...them come from New Brunswick-hard-muscled, catfooted lumberjacks who like to wear the loudest mackinaw shirts that money can buy. They work in crews of six, travel in bateaux (oversized row-boats), sometimes wade chest-deep in icy water. They will seldom be dry until the logs reach Keegan late in June. They eat prodigiously and often (breakfast at dawn, first lunch at 10 a.m., second at 2 p.m., supper in the early evening).

Next day the City Council increased the clamor, voted 16-to-5 that Earl Russell's appointment should be rescinded. Cried Councilman Charles E. Keegan of The Bronx: "Any Councilman who reads his mail knows that the great majority of the taxpayers of this city do not want this alien coming in here with his moral code and getting paid from the city treasury. We should step in now and destroy the plot which began three years ago, when the Board of Higher Education set its cap for this man of doubtful moral character...
