the report as prepared by DR..
John Fitzpatrick, committee
counsel, is receiving the ap-
prOval of the members of the
subcommittee as far as we have
gone.
II am trying to get this re-
port out as soon as possible to
give the people of Washington
the benefit of the evidence pre-
scented at the hearings.
GARRETT RAPED
II think the legislation We
intend to propose will be very
beneficial, and satisfactory
progress has already been
made in our discussion of the
rough draft of the report, which
we are considering"
Every phase of police work and
prosecution in washington will be
touched upon in the report. A
portion OF the report, released
some time ago, asks that addi'
tional policemen be provided for
in the District appropriation bill
This bill is now in conference
and it is understood that tentative
agreement has been reached to re-
store IS policemen to the ranks
These were cut off under the pro
visions of economy legislation.
The tentative draft is said to
quote from testimony before the
committee, purporting to show
that Mr.. Garrett is not qualified
for the position he holds.
It is pointed out, that several
times during his testimony before
the committee, Mr.. Garrett con
fessed his ignorance of law and
legal procedure in Washington.

GEORGIA WANTS
FIRST SLICE
Of RELIEF
Gov. TaImadge, Arch Foe Of
New Deal, Seeks Money
for School Work
BY EARL GOODWIN

The very first man to hold out
his hand and ask for a slice of
the 1880 million dollar relief
fund is none other than Cover
nor Eugene Tamadge of Georgia
who has been rampaging up and
down the Southland attacking
the Administration for it's extrava.
gance and threatening to join
hands with Senator Huey Long,
Father Coughlin and anyone else
who will upset the New Deal in
favor of common sense and
economy"
News Of this extraordinary sit
uation comes to Washington in
a batch Of letters signed by Gov.
ernor Talmadge himself, ad.
dressed to Members of Congress
and asking that all things be
made ready so that Georgia should
have "the distinction of being the
first State in the Union to pitch
the ball on the diamond and let
the game begin"
Hopkins Attitude
Word that Governor Talmadge
is anxious to get a slice of the re-
lief money was received with
mingled feelings in the office OF
Harry Hopkins, Federal Relief Ad,
ministrator, who has been in a
running fight with Governor Tai.
madge for year.
Several months ago the State
University, as a separate entity,
asked PWA for loan or grant
of $2,60O,00O. PWA Administrator
Ickes approved the grant, and it
was arranged that the university
should pay back only 10 per cent
Of the loan, 30 per cent of the sum
being an outright gift.
Changes His Mind
Following that arrangement,
Governor adge forced
through the Georgia legislature a
State law canceling the deal be-
tween the PWA and the State
University, so that the loan was
entirely off" After that Cover
nor Talmadge entered upon a
series of denunciations against
the PWA, declaring it was a
shameful waste of the peoples
money and had many other
faults. The governor was par.
ticularly bitter against President
Roosevelt.
However, the governor evidently
has changed his mind. because he
now asks his State delegation in
Congress to get a slice of the re-
lief money without having to pay
any of it back.

Henry G.. Alsberg Already

Place in Emergency
Program.

Projects to give immediate work to
10000 authors of varying experience
and reputation, ranging from we'll
known novelists to young college
graduates eager to get something of
their chests, all now on relief rolls,
have been worked out by Henry G.
Alsberg Of the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration.
Alsberg, former editorial writer
and foreign correspondent, yesterday
assumed the post Of technical asSis-
tant for work progress administrator,
Harry Hopkins to direct work-relief
for starving authors.
He is one of four such technical
assistants appointed to formulate
white-collar projects in the major
arts. others being the theater. music
and painting and sculpture.
Many Writers On Relief.
I've been planning for more than
year ways and means of giving
work to authors which will at the
same time take them of relief rolls
and result in a work which will be of
help to the Government and the
American people as q whole" Alsberg
said yesterday.
During that year, he has been on
the F. e. r. A. pay roll as supervisor
Of bulletins and reports for the agency.
You'd be amazed" he declared,
"at the number of really good writers,
temporarily down and out. who are
on relief. I mean men and women
who have several decent novels to
their credit and have a good repu-
tation for magazine writing.
Besides these, there are the near
writer's those who have sold a few
things and want to go ahead with it
but Just can't find the financial back
ing. Then there are occasional
writers. contributors to the small
magazines, and many young college
men and women who have A. M.
degrees, want to write, probably can
write, but lack the opportunity.
Super Guide Book Planned.
I'VE can take care of all of them,
I think, on the projects l have in
mind. Furthermore, we can provide
work on these jobs for engineers.
lawyers. biologists and a host of other
white-collar people aching to go to
work"
Alsberg heSitated to divulge the
nature of the project he had in mind,
but it was learned elsewhere he plans
a super guide book to America.
Other plans include putting several
thousand writer's to work reporting
progress of the expenditure of the
$4,000, 100000 fund appropriated this
Spring to launch the work-relief

Meanwhile, House and Senate con-

loggerheads. Chairman Wheeler of the
Senate Conference Committee reported
no development since the conference
adjourned indefinitely Friday with
signs of temper and complete dis
agreement.
The conflict arose over the pres

sisted should be permitted to advise
them. In this, they were joined BY
Chairman Rayburn of the House

notably Representative Huddleston
