Last week Colonel Harrington wanted it clearly understood that Harry Hopkins had not "helped out" in his selection of Relief's No. 2 man, to replace Mr. Hopkins' lanky, idealistic, foot-in-mouth friend, Aubrey Williams (now sidetracked to the Youth Administration). Harrington's own choice was Howard Owen Hunter, a dark, lean, hard-hitting Southerner, who since 1933 has had charge of all Federal relief in 13 Midwest States (WPA's Region...
