...errors: The cut used was not of Ferdinand W. Roebling, present head of the concern, but his brother Karl G. Roebling, who, as your piece says, died as a result of the enormous tasks he undertook, both for the Government and his company during the World War period. Col. Washington A.

Wagner introduced, among other features of his proposed Unemployment relief legislation, the idea of lending Federal funds for city slum clearance. Robert Ferdinand Wagner, born in rural Germany but raised in a teeming tenement district of Manhattan, well knows the housing conditions that exist and are for the most part steadfastly ignored, even denied, in every city in the land.
