...Workers' Education project educates workers in their spare time. Across the country 60,000 laborers attend classes before and after hours in mining camps, sugar-beet shacks, cotton warehouses, union halls, construction sheds. Last week 18 State supervisors of WPA-WE reported to Deputy WPAdministrator Aubrey Willis Williams and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt on the gnarls in Workers' Education...

Stokes, of WPA pressurizing in Kentucky for the renomination of Senate Majority Leader Barkley. Mr. Hopkins had sent some of his people into Kentucky to check up on Reporter Stokes's allegations. Out of 22 alleged improprieties, only two had been substantiated: 1) A WPA county supervisor, Lee Garden, had distributed political registration cards among WPA workers; 2) A WPA district foreman, Cleve Keeney, had told WPAsters under him they "were going...
