It might be well for the nation's cjtizenry to practice rolling it, for he may turn, out to be a kingmaker at the Jiext Democratic presidential contention in maii. DeSapio today is the unchal- icngpa pouucai doss 01 me n lion's largest city and largest tat. He is New York s Demo cralic national committeeman. And: as the professional behind newcomer Gov. Avcrell Harri- manf he will go to the next con ventibn with an Impressive batch of 90-odd delegates in his pocket His weight could bo crucial. In climbing to this new emi nence, DeSapio restored Tarn many, the New York County (Manhattan) Democratic organi zation, to place of power with an apparent new look for the first time sinco fiery Florcllo La Guardia broke the machine in the early 1930's. BACKED IIARRIMAN His rise to broadening poiilical power got Its biggest assist last fall when llamman, his personal choice for Democratic nominee, narrowly captured the New York governorship from Sen. Irving Ives, a potent Republican vote getter. He scored an earlier suc cess by backing Mayor Robert Wagner in 1953. The fruits of victory tasted es pecially sweet to DeSapio, for at the September slate party con vention he had engineered the ditching of Franklin D. Roose velt Jr., Harriman's ambitious rival, rated by some a "sure rated by some a "sure thing" at the polls. Roosevelt ran instead for state attorney general, and tumbled to a 250,000-vote defeat. The man who has brought all this off is a 46-year-old native New Yorker of Italian parentage who is something of a new cut in politicians. He is tall, solidly built, with black hair effectively streaked with gray, and glasses inted because of a chronic eye ailment. His dress is faultlessly conservative. Ho could be a bank er or a bishop, which his friends sometimes call him. runsuAsivE He is no crude, old-fashioned wielder of power. In 'I lie modern manner, he seeks to lead by per suading and conciliating, bolt- spoken and engagingly warm hi personal contact, he has a strong platform voice and welcomes ap pearances on radio, television, and other forums. This is a man who lectures on politics at various colleges. He has a date this spring to invade the august precincts of Harvard Law bchool for a talk. That ought to set some sort of precedent. Ilchapio, loo. is a man who. though ho came to power through the customary political infight ing, spouts the good government theme, publicly promotes election reforms, and otherwise endeavors to confound those who remember Tammany as the old symbol and substance ot the crime-ridden ma chine, the corrupt organization which gained its greatest noto riety in the 19th Century heyday of bosses Tweed and Croker. A NEW GIMMICK DeSapio's detractors say this smooth, respectable front is a false facade, that he's just got a new gimmick, that he's really no bet ter than the old cigar-smoking hard hats who gave Tammany its evil sound. There is ambiguous evidence on the relations of DeSapio and some of his Tammany associates to Frank Costcllo, long touted a crime czar in and beyond New York City. DeSapio insists Cos tcllo has no influence over his operations, but he acknowledges knowing him. The question seems to be, "how well?" His critics also say and some of his friends agree that DeSa pio was lucky at many points along the way. In 15)50, his first election test DR. JORDAN SAYS Self-Prescribing Iodine Tablets Is Risky .By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. An important question conies from a reader who asks if it is 0. K. to take iodine tablets with out consulting a physician. Refine discussing the subject of iodine and its relatives the "iodides" further, I should like to answer the question by sayinn that 1 cU not consider it advisable. t Iodine is ona of the chemical elements. To most people," it is perhaps best known'ln the form of tincture of iodine which is an arttisiptic in use for many years. An lodint, oi whim mere are disorders of the human body, iodides appear to have a bene ficial effect, though the reasons why they do so are sometimes rather obscure. Another we for the Iodides has been their addition to salt in the prevention of simple enlargement of the" thyroid gland (simple goiter! in ' those areas where the drinking water does not contain enough, iodides. Thorn is no doubj that this has had a remarkably fine effect on cutting doni the nujober of peo- I'n won anemia, mental depression, nerv ousness, sleeplessness, and the like may develop. In the pres ence of tuberculosis iodides may cause the disease to become ac tive where it was apparently un der control bctnro. For reasons such as these the takiuuof iodide tablets reg ulasly, except wliere the amount is known to the physician and he as leader, he backed the wrong horse against underdog Vincent Impellittcri, who took the may oralty as an independent But "Impy" proved a poor executive and for three years, DeSapio hung on as Tammany chief, while dodging slings and arrows. POWER CONSOLIDATED . In 1953, he followed the lead of the late Bronx boss, Ed Flynn, in plumping for Wagner as may oralty nominee. When Flynn died before Wagner's election, De Sapio stood as the winner's chief sponsor, and his city power was consolidated. In 1954, Harriman squeaked through by a paper-thin 12,000 voles, and by that frail margin DeSapio was "in." But there's another side. De Sapio has given his whole adult life to politics. He's a professional in the fullest sense. He works a seven-day week and a 16-hour day at it. He may see 100 people person ally every day, and talk to an other 75 on the telephone. He rises at 7:30 in the morning, and often visitors are crowding his outer hall by 8:30. Sometimes one is at his side as he shaves or gulps breakfast. He's seldom home for dinner. He may attend 15 or 20 luncheons, dinners and other functions every week. NOTHING NEW This taxing schedule isn't new for him. He toiled hard and sob erly as a boy for his parents' Manhattan trucking firm. He kept it up in law school until poor health forced him out. Then politics became his life., By 1939 he had enough of a personal following to challenge his district leader. He beat him, but his opponent's lingering pow er prevented DeSapio from being seated. Finally, in 1943, he made the Tammany grade. Three years later, out of some power ma neuvering he picked off a plum a $12,000 city job. In 1949 a lead ership shakcup gave him his chance, and he seized the or ganization's reins. Six years later, the crumbling Tammany shell DeSapio inherited has become once more a challenging poiilical force. LITTLE HOME LIFE The man who rebuilt It plainly does not have much time for home life. His wife, Theresa, and his 17-year-old daughter, Ger aldine, see lijtle of him. Together they live in a modest four-room apartment on Washington Square in Greenwich Village, heart of New York's artistic life. lie. hardly belongs in that set ting.
