As a s piece of objective journalism, this is one of the most amusing, informa- tive and suspect efforts to come down the St. Pat's Pike since 1866, when 800 Irishmen tried to capture Canada.) By HUGH A. MULLIGAN Associated Press Writer When Christopher Columbus sailed home after discovering America, he put an Irishman, William Ayres of Galway, ashore at San Domingo to keep an eye on things until he got back. Hibernian legen has it that Bucko Billy pranced up and down the beach the following March 17, whistling a bit of a tune to him- self, and thereby held the first St. Patrick's Day parade in the new world. The early chronicles mention him-"Guillermo Ihres de Gal- way in Irlanda"-but fail to sus- tain the claim that he was both grand marshal and the entire line of march in that auspicious but unidoeumented procession.

"The wheelbarrow was a marvel- ous invention," said their detrac- tors. "It taught the Irish how to walk on their hind legs." But the path of the wheelbarrow often led to City Hall, the state house, and in distant generations to the White House, as was the case with Andrew Jackson, James Polk, James Buchanan, Chester Arthur and Woodrow Wilson. The Irish gave a generous green hue to the stamp of the American character. The lilt of their lan- guage brought verve and individu- ality to the American idiom, their wit and impudence took the chill off colonial puritanism, their love of freedom accounted for whole sections of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Nearly half a million Irish fled to America during Cromwell's per- secutions of the 17th century, an exodus that continued at the rate of 20,000 a year until it was esti- mated that of the three million people living in the original 13 colonies in 1770, more than one- third were Irish born or of Irish descent. Potato Failure The failure of successive potato crops in the 1840s, which Disraeli called "the single root that changed the history of the world," brought 1,600,000 Irish to Ameri- ca's shore in a decade, making New York the largest city in the country, with twice as many Irish as Dublin.
