During the course he went “up”
in simulated flight in one of the
Navy's massive low-pressure cham
bers which produces atmospheric
conditions and pressures that are
found at 70,000 foot altitude. The
course demonstrates the latest ty-

the pilot his physical limitations

In 1948. when most of New York's
top Democrats were giving Harry

Truman large doses of silence.
Impellitteri spoke up for the cum-
palginlng president. He was the
only top-level political gure In
New York to go up to Vito Marc-
antonio's Harlem stronghold and
campaign against him that year.
And. wonder of wonders, he al-
so publicly snubbed Frank Costello,

writers are calling “Impy” to run
away when Tammany Hall decid-
ed to run someone else. That hap-
pened in August, when William
O’Dwyer resigned to become am-
bassador to Mexico.
Impy figured he was the man
for the job. After all. as City
Council President, his Job was to
fill in for the mayor when he was
out of town. And O'Dwyer was

Tiie story is that a deal had been
worked out before O’Dwyer re-
signed, whereby the Liberal Par-
ty- which commands a lot of votes
in New York—would support the
Democratic state ticket if Judge
Ferdinand Pecora was put up for
mayor.
Whatever tiie reason, Tammy
gave Impy the fishy stare and
gave Pev ora its blessing. Impy
said they’d offered hmi a $28,000

jumped on tiie bandwagon.
But Impy kept on running. Three
Tammany district leaders bolted to
his support. A few labor groups
did likewise. An Independent Citi-
