S. youth will not brighten without undefined "changes in the economic structure." In Manhattan last autumn he declared that NYA had "gotten off to a very bad start." that he did not know what to do about it (TIME, Oct. 28). Giving New York's NYA a second start last week at the rate of $4,000,000 a year. Director Williams gloomily observed...
