Last week New York's Mayor LaGuardia and the New York State Relief Director called on him. Since they had no time for lunch...
Speaking before an audience of young men and women of the Young Friends' Discussion Group in Phillips Brooks House last night, Russell G. Olsen '36 placed blame for the mishandling of the Norfolk situtation squarley on the shoulders of Francis X.
