Last week this proved too much even for Mr. Williams' easy-going boss, Harry Hopkins...

In 1937 the fund was severely cut (to $50,000,000). Finicky colleges like Harvard and Yale haughtily kept NYA out because its pay was skimpy. It was criticized for having such lay figures as Glenn Cunningham, William Green, Owen D. Young, the late Amelia Earhart on its advisory board...
