MBr AGAIN IS SCENE OF
WSI SERIOUS ACCIDENT I
By PAIL MALLON
Copyright. 1935, By Paul Mallon
WASHINGTON. May 14. Several
yards of executive orders and state
ment have been Issued abut the new
organization which Is going to spend
the four billion
dollars of relief
money, but these
cast little ltht
cm It. Everyone
connected with
this greatest of
all government
al ventures has
had a rather
hazy private Idea
about who war
to be top man
among the new
doughboys.
It was origin
ally announced that Ex -coordinator
Frank Walker was the man. This was
amemk-d later to indicate that the
president himself was to be the guid
ing genius. Finally word has conw
that the newly organized board, meet
ing with the president, Is to run the
outfit. Positions in that set-up have
been publicly awarded to Messrs.
Ickes. Hopkins. Admiral Peoples ai d
others, but thee appointments have
only beclouded speculation a to what
the real influence of ea-h was sup
posed to be.
These clouds have begun to evap
orate in the private conferences
which are being held. You can begin
to see what may be expected. The
following thttmb-nall outline does not
Jibe with what the government agents
have been saying, and Is a fair sum
mation of prospects.
The "big boss" title given Walker
appears to be an exaggeration. His
real task apparently is to act as a
polite buffer against all the gover
nors, mayors, politicians and others
clamoring for money for their home
projects. lie is to keep these people
from annoying the president, Ickes
and Hopkins.
His office is merely a reception room
where applicants can coot their heels.
After he receives their applications,
he refers them to various quasi-Independent
bureaus operated by Hop
kins. Ickcs, et al. The applications
go through a mill of examinations
and are finally reported to the gen
eral board meeting, at which Presi
dent Roosevelt presides.
Apparently Walker cannot approve
or disapprove of anything Important
His duties therefore will be largelv
secretarial and coord t native rather
than executive.
Tie man who will do the bulk of
the spending is Hopkins. His eager
personality will operate the major
portion of the show behind the skirts
of Mevsrs. Roosevelt and Walker. Tha
president will make all the big de
cisions at first, but he will do so on
recommendations. Eventually, the ma
jor burden will undoubtedly shift to
Hopkins shoulders because the presi
dent cannot spare the time required.
Admiral Peoples Is. in a way. to be a
sort of assistant to Hopkins.
Ickes will only do the allotting of
what Is left of the PWA.
Boiled down, what the new relief
regime appears to bo Is this:

13. Well, headline today say
Hnrhnra is marrying a count or
a duke or something, and we
all get excited and start criti
cisine, as tliouph she was a
ward of the people.
It's her money. It's her life.
She must pay a tremendous,
amount of money to our gov
eminent; she deserves some

10-ccnt purchases, so nobody
got stuck very much.
So, if she wants to pick up

left off and finance all Europe,
it's her own business.
