The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-04-24

ReXLOrQ U. IuBWeIl, OFlBiHdl UTdin truster, will head the rural rehatl- litation work, as previously re- ported.
 Step- -by-step as a professor lec- lures a class, the president de- tailed this vast outline in orderly fashion.
 Three New Agencies
 He said three new agencIes would be created as follows:
 l. A division to carry out grade crossing eliminations.
 2. one dealing with rural re- settlement and the coordination os all agencies now working on rural rehabilitation. Tugwell will be in charge.
 8. A new division In charge Of the program of rural electrifi- catoin.
 For an hour, the president am:d a stack of plans and proposals, discussed the program and prom ised that during the week he would reveal other steps required in the organization that will spend $4,880, 100000, the greatest peace- time appropriation in history.
 Federal Relief to Taper Off
 He reminded the "class" that the federal emergency relief admins tration gradually would taper off, although it would continue to function after a fashion in caring for those employables who through froce of circumstance in their o1 f Indnr the works-relief program.
 Some one broke the sequence Of explanation here to ask whether that meant Administrator Harry l.. Hopkins would in time play rela- lively minor role.
 Laughingly the president wag gled his finger and suggested that his questioner wait until he reads to-morrow's developments.
 That set off a barrage of ques- tions, much in the manner Of stu dents heckling a patient professor explaining a mathematical prob- lem. He repeatedly insisted he would be the head of the allot- ments board, in other words, the man who will open the nations pocketbook.
 Laughted at Own Part
 When he was asked as to what part he would play he laughed off the question observing that the best answer would be to read the constitution and not fish stories. The constitution, he countered, said that he was the head of the ex- ecutive branch of the government.
 In the vast number of projects under consideration, plans for many of which have already been approved and are just awaiting the go-ahead signal, are besides those already listed, express highways, farm -to-market roads, parkWays, sidewalks and city 
 White Collar Workers
 As to the category in which tke white collar workers will fall, a few of the projects litsed include art, charts, graphs, plain and fancy boon -doggling, student aid, literary mapping, nursing and nurE- ing school orchestras.
 The president looked around the | room when he mentioned orches- tras and said there was q chance | for the White House quartet, Il group of White House newspaper | correspondents. (All critics agree | the quartet sings off tune. That | opened the way for reporter to | remind the president he was member of the quartetD
 Other tasks for the white collar | workers will include record-keep- ing, surveys of population problems | and general census taking.
 It also is planned to provide foi resettlement of families and groups | to lands where they will be able to | make both ends meet on the plan of the Alaska migration.
 Other Relief Items
 Other items falling under this particular program include sub. sistence homesteads and the re- lief of rural industrial communl- tina
