Last spring McCarthy heard that there was an opening in Providence for the job of U.S. marshal. He filled out a lengthy application and shipped it out. Sure enough, party men at the state level as well as those in Washington, D.C. remembered Steelworker McCarthy. This week, upon appointment by the President, Ed McCarthy, 47, quit his $5,000-a-year job at the plant and was sworn in as the $7,500-a-year Marshal of the Federal District Court, Rhode Island...

Instead, he has been content to boss the army and to combine business with business by seeing that most of the army's requirements for supplies and equipment are met by commercial firms he owns or controls himself. The marshal's business astuteness pleases his followers but they have long been distressed by his political indifference, and have watched with more than a tinge of envy as General Phao and his 50,000-man police force...
