Clearance Projects
Workers Should De-
mand Housing for
Jobless

WASHINGTON. Jan. s.-The use
of Public Works funds for slum clear
ance and housing projects has been
abandoned, it was announced by the
P.W.A. yesterday. The plans for SUM
clearance we're mere gesture, be-
cause they have never been meant
as housing measure for the unen-
ployed, and planned for charging
high rents.
In New York, the only city which
actually did get grants from the fed
eral government for the building Of
new houses, these grants we're USED
to tear down houses and build ex.
pensive apartments with funds sup
piled at low rates of interest to the
builders. New York City has 525 90
"old law" tenements in $1,000 build
ings, although this type of building
was condemned in 190D.
In one of the buildings torn down
the so-called lung block" because
the great number of tuberculosis case
there, only three out Of the 386 fam
lilies could afford to pay the increase,
rentals at the model tenements betn
built there.
In the announcements OF the
w. A. it was stated that $l48, 10000
had been allocated for Slum clear
ance. The statement continues b
stating that actually only $4.6so,oo
had been allocated. The so-calle
slum clearance, only gesture in tn
past, has now been abandoned com
pletely, it is announced.
The Unemployed Councils call upo
all workers to demand that free hom
ing be supplied to all unemploye
that new homes for the unemploye
be built in workers neighborhoot
and that hospitals, Fairgrounds, ar
parks be built in workers neighbo
hoods from P.WA. funds.

hundred Negro and white workers,

Whalen Quits NRA
Post for Job as
Booze Trust Head
Gov. Lehman's Family
Controls Big Liquor
Corporation

NEW YORK.-Grover A. Whalen,
ex-police chief, former head floor
walker for Wanamakers, and di-
rector of the MIRA. in New York,
has resigned all his lucrative jobs
for the more bountiful one as chair
man of the big booze trust, the
Schenley Affiliated Corporations, a
group of distilleries, wineries and
other liquor organizations.
Whalen brings to the liquor trust
many valuable experiences he
gained from his association with
gangsters, strike breakers and boot
leggers while head of the New York
police department.
The New York booze trust which
Whalen now heads is owned by the
Lehman Brothers, investment bank
ers, the firm of Governor Lehman
Of New York, which has a con-
trolling interest.
With this powerful political line
up, and Whalen's close association
with the New York breaking
crews, he should be a profitable as
set to Governor Lehman's booze
concern.
In order not to deprive the MIRA
completely of his valuable strike
breaking ability, Whalen has con-
descended to remain as chairman OF
the New York Retail Code Author
ity. More than 10000 merchants are
supposed to be under this code. In
this manner, Whalen will be able
to help Wanamakers (not without
consideration and at the same time
