PWA
A yew ago we were promised that
the Public Works Administration
would put several million men back
to work, This was when Secretary
ot Interior Ickes, doubling in brass
as PWA's boss, first set out opti-
mistically to pump $3,300,000,000 in-
to emergency construction all over
the country.
As the days wore on Ickes found
it was a tough job to spend three
billion dollars—especially if the out-
lay was to bear future scrutiny of
political opponents who might be
looking for signs of the old pork
barrel.
Employment estimates were cur-
tailed slowly but surely following the
realization.
* * *
Last winter word went out that
Public Works would reach its peak
in the spring. When spring came
the fatal dale was put off to June.
Then it was made July.
July is here. Public Works offic-
ials concede they have reached their
top employment. From now on
their line will run horizontally
across the chart and then start
dipping downward about the time
cold weather sets in.
Latest confidential compilations
show that 406,378 men are now em-
ployed on federal projects and 118.-
800 on non-federal works—a total,
In round numbers, of 625,000.
But not all of PWA’s money goes
into such work. The administration
shows a grand total of 896,796 ac-
tually on Jobs.
Most of the difference between
the last two figures is accounted for
by the CCC camps. They have 312,-
294 men enrolled. Including Indians
and military personnel.
The rest of those employed at
PWA's expense are the officials and
clerks who administer the various
emergency alphabetical setups.
In this connection there is one
striking figure. The "administra-
tive personnel" of CCC is fixed at
24995.
On Its face that would work out
at approximately one civilian em-
ploye to every 13 boys in the forests.
* * *
Homes
The Roosevelt administration is
counting heavily on the new hous-
ing program to carry on as Public
Works slides off.
Perhaps It Is Jealousy but PWA of-
ficials arc looking skeptically at the
drive Just started under direction of
James A. Moffett.
Quite off the record they predict
that the campaign to start us all
building new homes or repairing our
old ones will succeed to the exact
extent "Uncle Sam Is willing to
make bad loans."
* * *
Cynical from their own experienc-
es, the PWA boys say that anyone
who is a good credit risk can borrow
money privately to build or renovlse.
They anticipate that the Federal
Housing Administration will either
have to extend Innumerable dubious
rredlts to make n showing or face
the same realities PWA has and
get hardbotled.
The Ickes aides won't get any
comfort, in tills Idea from the so-
CRlled durable goods Industries.
The U. 8. Chamber of Commerce
and the National Association of
Manufacturers are stroking a mean
oar along with 142 trade associa-
tions to make America borrnw-and
build conscious. You won't have to
strain an eve to see this in your
favorite newspapers and magazines.

Origin
With desperate strikes raging In
many sections of the country, you
may be intersted in knowing Just
who ran claim rightful parentage to
Section 7A of the National Indust-
rial Recovery Act This section,
guaranteeing the right of all employ-
es to organize If they sec fit and
bargain collectively, was a step-
child for many months. Now there
are dozens eager to stand forwnrd
at least as godfathers.
There Is nothing new In 7A. It
has been tried out nationally before,
During the World War Woodrow
Wllaon set up the National War
Labor Board, with William Howard
Taft and Prank P. Walsh aa co-
chairmen and W. Jett Laurk aa sec-
retary. An outstanding feature of
their 1917-18 emergency' regulations
was a collective bargaining provis-
ion In language almost Identical to
that now Incorporated In the NIRA.
* * *
following the war there was a
movement to make the idea perma-
nent. Laurk. an Internationally
known economist, prepared a bill
for former Senator Kenyon of Iowa
to Introduce in Congress. Taft, then
Chief Justice, gave a curbstone opln
ion It would be binding.
Then Kenyon, browing more con-
aervatlve with age, took a federal
judgritlp. HU bin died. He wasn't
there to guide it. Labor at the
moment waa so powerful It believed
II didn't need legislative help. Thr
industrialists, smarting under their
wartime concessions, were delerm
lord to beat labor back Into Its old
submissive ness
About that Ume prosperity rame
around the comer, Everybody waa
satisfied and the movement was
dropped all around.
Ob*
tn INI. after Urn depression had
■et well In. Lauck tried hu hand
•gain. He drew a Mil to stabilise
the coal industry, later known ns
the Davis-Kelly Mil. It contained
the collective bargaining prtnclpt
and a compromise which granted I

pires. since I cannot act publicly as
a private citizen, I shall make no
more political speeches or write any
political articles In support of or In
opposition to the campaign con-
fronting the state and such speeches
as I may make, if any. or articles
I may write, if any. shall be inde-
pendent of and bpar no connection
to the matters and things Involving
the political future of the state, but
be confined to my official acts and
duties solely as governor, or In de
fense of my past acts should they
be questioned."
Didn’t Advise Anglin
Murray declared he neither ad-
vised Tom Anglin to withdraw from
the gubernatorial runoff nor stay in.

drawing." he added, "However, I ad-

July 12—(/P)—Detectives
conducfed nn intensive search here
today for Neal Myers. University of
Oklahoma student wanted for ques-
tioning In the death at Norman,
Ok., of Marian Mills, co-ed beauty,
after a youth believed to be Myers,
last night abandoned an automo-
bile belonging to Myers’ father of
Reno.
A suitcase found in the automo-
bile contained a class pin bearing
the inscription “N. H. Myers—’35."
An envelope addressed to Dr. P. B.
Myers, the youths father, also was
found.
An "O. U. Sooner’’ sticker was on
the bag.
A check of the license number
showed the car was owned by Dr.
Myers.
Officers found a box of small yel-
low pills inside the bag.
Detectives said they felt certain
young Myers was the youth who
.umped out of the car last night
when another motorist gave chase,
then disappeared In the woods In a
cottage grove section of the city.
J. H. Stevenson, a special ranger,
was the motorist who forced the
youth to abandon the automobile.
Stephenson said that late last night
he saw a young man standing be-
side an Oklahoma car.
“The boy Jumped In the automo-
bile and hurried off." the oflcer said.
‘His actions struck me as being
peculiar and I followed him.
Near my home in Cottage Grove,
he suddenly stopped his car and
raced into the woods. I called of-
ficers who came out and took pos-
session of the car.”
Stephenson said the youth fell
and made several somersaults as he
ran.
"Near where he had fallen,
found a box containing a black
powder which seemed to be some
kind of medicine."
In addition to the small yellow
pills, a wide assortment of clothing
and other articles, the suitcase in
the abandoned car. contained a box
of small capsules filled with white
powder.
