...groups, live at home). Application for CCC jobs are cleared by local relief agencies through the U. S. Labor and War Departments. CCC juniors report, on acceptance, at an Army recruiting station, usually go directly to CCCamps, where they find a Reserve lieutenant or captain in command. There they begin group life in uniform.

Chairman Adams of the Senate subcommittee in charge of the bill said that he thought the appropriation might be cut as low as $600,000,000. A dozen Senators were eager to cram the bill with amendments against politics in relief. While they were questioning Harry Hopkins about his fitness to be Secretary of Commerce, they got him to admit that if he had to do it again, he would not have made political speeches as head of WPA; that politics-playing WPA supervisors in Kentucky should have...
