Glassford has no prospects of any

Of job"
ANY offers that would come to me
right now would be merely for publicity
purposes-for the use of my name. But
If somebody came to me and said:
There is a job to be done that your

probably take it."

Although Gen. Glassford knew" his

Even though my career as chief was
brief, feel that I did accomplish some

There is no need for me to rehearse
the symptoms of our national illness.

symptom is unemployment. The farmer

only be generated by putting men to
