EW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN

FERA he announced to the world
that "of course there was some
graft" in his outfit, but he was
kicking out the grafterS.
Now, however, no heads roll in
the sand. Publicly Harry exoner-
ates his subordinates. Privately,
he does not.
THERE are two good reasons
Il for Hopkins public change of
front.
l. He did not appoint his state
WPA administrators. They were
appointed chiefly by the Demo-
cratic Senators, virtually take Or
ders from state bosses, not from
Hopkins in Washington.
2. This is election year. To kick
out state WPA administrators
would cause political tumult. WPA
has to get votes.
TINE worst case of conflict be-
u tween attempted WPA effici-
ency and local politics is in the
state of Maine.
Big Jim Farley needs Maine.
More than almost anything else
he wants the psychological effect
of Maine going for Roosevelt just
before the regular elections next
fall.
Despite Big Jim's needs, Harry
Hopkins, sick of playing politics,
called in Jim Abrahamson, his
WPA chief in Maine, and told
him privately: IF any of that
Farley gang comes around want
ing jobs, tell 'em to go to hell"
Abrahamson, a young Bowdoin
professor, was the forty-eighth
state administrator to be ap-
pointed. This time Hopkins, sore
at political appointees, picked out
his own man.
No sooner had he taken the
oath of Office than Abrahamson
ran up against political opposition
as tough as Maine winter. First
intimation came when he as
sumed his duties. Gov. Louis j.
Brann, Democrat, gave him a
brief sermon.
CHORTLY thereafter IA were
- indicted for graft in the
ERA, one of them being Admin
istrator John A. McDonnOugh.
The man who unearthed the
ERA graft was James E. Connel-
Ian, state director of the National
Emergency Council. But Gov.
Brann protested to Jim Farley
and Comedian was dismissed.
Meanwhile the trial OF ERA
graft continued. One scandal
still to be disclosed is how the
ERA placed an order for relief
garments with a Boston clothing
firm and got a shipment Of dis
carded red spangled evening
gowns.
Meanwhile, Brann brought pres

Washington Merry-Go-Round
BY DREW PI

VXIASHINGTON, April IL
w Some of the Presidents
best friends are getting worried
over the broadening trail of graft
and politics being uncovered in
the Works-Progress Administra-
ton.
They are confident that nothing
can upset the upward swing of
the Presidents political prestige,
unless it be wholesale exposures
of WPA and relief graft.
One thing which they don't like
is the series of stanch denials
issued by Harry Hopkins, WPA
administrator.
Harry is one of the most forth
right operators in the New Deal.
He would not mind telling Queen
Mary that her hat was not
straight. When he was running

tain that such a development will
take place before 1945.
The problem of such a plane is
now under study, j. H. GeiSse, chief
of the development section of the
bureau, told me. Mr.. Geisse's de-
partment is concentrating upon the
problems associated With private
flying.
Until recently, private flying had
no particular assistance from the
government. All it got was regu-
lation.
1--WE are trying to advance those
developments which held some
promise of improving the airplane
for private flying and which can
not get financed elsewhere" Mr..
Geisse told me. "Our method is
to place contracts with firms who
can do the work. In other words,
we are making possible the neces-
sary research"
