Run-of-the-mill jobs are now being dispensed through Congressman Eugene Keogh of Brooklyn and Charles Buckley, boss of The Bronx, while applicants for higher jobs must call upon Bobby Kennedy or Brother-in-Law Sargent Shriver. The Washington tactics produced the desired results. New York's Mayor Robert Wagner pushed Old Friend De Sapio to arm's length, last week huddled with Reformer Lehman, gave word that he would strive to purge De Sapio...
