...pressing need for funds has made the continued support of Red Top impossible under the 1934 budget of the H.A.A. Mr. Bingham has adopted a very sane attitude towards the problem.

...Deal unfolded. Yet even these erstwhile friends had to admit that Al Smith retained his salty gift of phrase when he concluded his attack thus: "Some of my readers. may ask why others have not pointed out these dangers in the CWA program. The answer is very simple. No sane local official who has hung up an empty stocking over the municipal fireplace is going to shoot Santa Claus just before a hard Christmas...
