With four billion Work Relief dollars in their pockets, Frank Walker, Harold Ickes and Harry Hopkins went to the White House one afternoon last week, spent two hours parceling out the first billion. Half of it went for highways, roads, streets, grade crossings. PWA got a quarter billion dollars for slum clearance, low-cost housing. Rural Resettlement Administrator Rexford Guy Tugwell received a round $100,000,000 to spend as he pleased. Another $100,000,000 went to Army engineers, half of it for dredging the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Two genuinely newsworthy prizes were drawn from the grab...
Although it is the oldest State university, Georgia is not rich and new buildings are perpetually needed. One of Dr. Caldwell's prime trials will be Governor Eugene Talmadge who feuds with the Roosevelt Administration and refuses to let the University borrow $2,800,000 from PWA for new buildings. Last week genial Dr. Sanford and earnest Dr. Caldwell thought that perhaps together they could bring the Governor around...

Does it mean that I can get help from the PWA so that I can have several women to help me? If I had that much help, I could take care of my home better and go to "higher brackets...
...nettled Georgians by boosting the price of their cheap labor. His AAA drained the tills of Georgia textile millers with the cotton processing tax. His FERA humiliated Georgia by adjudging its elected officials incompetent to administer relief, appointing a Federal representative in their stead. His PWA last week canceled four loans to Georgia, impugned the good faith of its Governor (see p. 10). That Georgia does not care so much for Franklin D. Roosevelt as it did in the bandwagon days of 1932 was proven last year when it overwhelmingly re-elected Democratic Governor Eugene Talmadge on a violently anti...
Luis Quintanilla at that time bore much the same relationship to the then Socialist Government of Madrid that Edward Bruce of PWA fame does now to the New Deal in the U. S. He was a great friend of Madrid's Socialist Boss Indalecio Prieto, had just been commissioned to do a series of enormous murals in the Casa del Pueblo and the University. Knowing nothing about Mary Hoover except that she ate well and drank well, Artist Quintanilla took her on as his assistant, taught her to paint in fresco, kept her slaving on a scaffold all summer...
