Already hopeful of this, San Francisco WPA officials were pleased as Punch last week at the dedication of one of the most sophisticated WPA building jobs in the U.

Basically nothing but enormous sheds, the main exposition buildings, stuccoed in "warm ivory" and unobtrusive pastel shades, owe much of their exoticism to "elephant towers," whose angles of light and shadow are softened by the Bay's hazy atmosphere.

Actually, the money is not being locked up but lent to the Government. This means that by 1980 the Government will owe the Social Security Reserve 21% more than the present big national debt (now $38,600,000,000).* It means also that by that year the whole idea of a reserve will be no more than a piece of fancy bookkeeping, for if the Fund wants to spend any of its vast...
