Round No. 1 was straight Relief. The President asked for an additional appropriation of $1,250,000,000 for WPA for the first seven months of the next fiscal year starting next July. He also asked for an extra $300,000,000 for CCC, National Youth Administration and the Farm Security Administration. The total of $1,550,000,000 would enable the Government to maintain relief expenditures after July 1 at approximately the current rate-$200,000,000 per month...

Edmund Aloysius Walsh, today the stocky, white-haired vice president of Georgetown University, founder and regent of its excellent School of Foreign Service...
...Julian and Rose. Una became an Angelican nun and died in England at 35. Julian became his father's biographer, wrote some 50 volumes, died in 1934 in San Francisco, Calif, at the age of 88. Rose turned Catholic and founded, under the Dominican rule, the Servants of Relief for Incurable Cancer and headed the order until her death twelve years ago.
