This leaves the two candidates who have the proper social purpose to be mayor of New York City: Rudolph Halley and Robert F. Wagner, Jr. Halley is a Johnny-come-lately to the public service, while Wagner has been in public life for sixteen years. Halley flashed to eminence in the Kefauver hearings. Wagner has built his reputation brick by brick. Halley has held one office, President of the City Council, in which he voted on crucial issues with a fickleness that raises doubts as to his sincerity. Wagner has been State Assemblyman, head of the New York Planning Commission...

...under way from Belfast, Ireland and set a westward course for her home base at New London, Conn. One of Harder's engines was out of commission with a cracked block when the voyage began. About 650 miles west of Belfast, the crankshaft on a second engine broke. Sixteen hours later, Harder's last engine was partially disabled, and what little power it could generate had to be used to charge the submarine's ebbing batteries. Last week, 16 days after her departure from Belfast, Harder finally came into New London, trailing ignominiously...
