ing in simple terms the nep laws
enacted by the last Congress)
The purpose Of the public works pro-
gram authorized by the national re-
covery law is to employ millions Of men
by spending quickly $500 100000 of
public money building all over the
country, for things that will be
OF permanent value.
The idea is that when Jobs have been
given to one to three million men, and
thousands of factories, mines and quar-
ries have orders for materials, their
combined spending will employ many
others and spread SO much money that
private industry will be revived. Other
recovery laws fit around this one, and
depend largely on its success.
The money is being borrowed by SELL
ing bonds. Special taxes are to help
repay these bonds and interest thereon.
An administrator Of public works,
assisted by board of cabinet officers,
is rushing through list of projects,
many to be started within a few weeks
Directors are being appointed for each
State and Territory to pass on all
proposals originating in their areas.
Those they approve will be reviewed in
Washington.
These are the principal things to be
built:
Highways. with extensions through
cities; bridges, with removal Of traffic
hazards.
Waterways, harbor improvements,
drainage works. erosion control works.
Public buildings, Federal. State and
local: water works, sewage works, power
plants, etc.
Semi public hospitals and institu-
tions, low cost housing and slum clear
ance projects.
Naval vessels and aircraft for Army
and Navy.
On ali these Jobs contractors must
establish the 30-hour work week
wherever possible and must agree to
pay wages sufficient for decent living.
Labor will be selected locally when
ever possible and mainly from am .n5
those now unemployed. AS much man
power es possible will replace ma
chinery to make more jobs.
The money will be spent partly in
direct Federal expenditures, partly in
grants (which need not be repaid) TO
States and their subdivisions. no such

Are you guys Iookies2" they asked
did you just get here?"
We replied that we had Just come.
"Oh, you poor son-of-a-gunsl"
And that sounded very encourag-
ing, indeed.
The meal" that we got in the
mess hall was classic.
We ate--those of us who could eat
two hard frankfurters, little
sauerkraut that was not sour, and
coffee. Oh, what coffee! 1t was so
strong that no one missed the beer
that we did not get, and it was alb
solutely unsweetened, apparently to
make up for the oversweet coffee we
had been given before.
Then we were ordered to stand in
line outside. For nearly six hours we
waited in twos, presumably to be ex-
amined once more. The second ex-
animation, when it finally came, was
more thorough, and was accompa-
MED by an injection in each arm.
After the injections two or three fell
lows tainted, probably from fear.
But we didn't get our examination
Saturday night After our endless
waiting, we we're simply enrolled
again, given bed clothes, and assigned
to hunks. 1t was long after l a. m.
before the lights went out in the
barracks, and they were put on again
internationally to give some rookie
a place to sleep. And since the beds
were all taken, the late arrivals had
to set up other cots, which turned
out to be a noisy occupation.
BY about 3 O'Clock most of us had
lost all hope of getting any sleep.
The upShoot Of this conclusion was
an overflow Of wise cracks about our
experiences thus far and still
greater overflow in anticipation of
what was awaiting us. When this
subject was exhausted, some took to
singing. At dawn, with dropping eye
lids, we washed in cold water-by
necessity, since there was no warm
and dressed. Then we waited for the
bugle.

favored by the COW. And for the
first time in my life I had fried po-
tatoes for breakfast. The raisins in
the bran were so hard that we could
have played marbles with them il
they had been little more round. We
were allowed to take our own sugar
this time, but the coffee was cold.
After breakfast some played base
ball, some looked the place over
some we're given a little work to do

rest tried to get some sleep. At the
