DUNN GETS
PARKER JOB
WHHWPA

Everett Parker, 42-year-old ex.
farmer of Tennessee, will be pre-
sented with a WPA job before the
week is out" according to Repre-
sentative Aubert Dunn CD OF
Mississippi, who disclosed today
that Congressional interest in the
family's plight had overridden Of
ficial condemnation of the mans
application on the grounds that
he was physically unfit.
The plight of the Parker family
was catapulted into the headlines
last year when Mrs. Parker was
requested to nurse her 8-monthS-
old daughter elsewhere than in the
House gallery. Mrs. Parker'S &C.
ton was condemned as 'ruffling
the dignity" Of the House mem
bership and 10 days later, as pub.
lie indignation mounted, the con.
demnation was officially con-
doned.
.. They Came Back
Transportation back to Tennes-
see was arranged for the desti'
tute family by local relief author
tiles but after few months spent
vainly in search of a job, the FAM
lily returned.
Their second venture into the
Capital resulted in a mild furry
of official disagreement as to
whether they we're to become Fed
eral or local relief charges. Mr..
Parker's residence was legally eS-
tablished in Tennessee and the
problem of caring for them was
deemed Federal one.
While the tangle was being un.
raveled, the family was being pro
vided for by the welfare and relief
department of the American Le-
gion, which organization paid the
rent on q Second-floor, one-room
apartment in the 300 block of D
Street N. w.
Offer Was Refused
Once more transportation back
to Tennessee was arranged, this
time by the American Legion. Ac.
cording to officials of that organi-
cation, the offer was refused by
Mr.. Parker on the grounds that
washington was kinder to them.
Newspaper appeals resulted in
the one-room apartment being
stacked with staple groceries and
the advent Of Representative Dunn
into the case.
Representative Dunn threatened
to bring the matter up on the floor
Of the House, but after several
private conferences the plan was
abandoned. The Mississippi Con-
gresham told a Times reporter
that relief officials had promised
Parker a WPA job.
Dunn Gets 'Het Up
interviewed at his home a day
later, Mr.. Parker said the only
offer he had received along those
lines was one from a local automo-
bile concern which promised him
8 commission on all cars the firm
sold through the running of a
newspaper article to the effect
that Mr.. Parker was a salesman
for them.
Mr.. Parker frankly admitted he
didn't know how the plan was to
work.
When asked today why Mr..
Parker was still unemployed, Rep
resentative Dunn declared
1--WE haven't told him about it
yet, but the man will have a job
before the week is Out-and
that's that"
Asked if he could be quoted as
saying that, he replied:
you're damn tOOtin' you can
and you can use the word
damn"
The nature of Mr.. Parker's
forthcoming lob was not revealed,

while, the number Of men on this

10000 Acres Bought
New highways have been built TO
replace those In the waterWorks

to skirt the huge artificial lake.
Damages have been paid to manu-

other Is the completion OF q huge
dixie, with concrete core walls, be-
tween two Enfield hills, requiring
three more years. .
Is Mile Tunnel Through Rock
Meanwhile, q 15-mile tunnel has
been driven through solid rock from
Coldbrook, near Barre, to 30-year-
old Clinton reservoir. A similar
tunnel has been built from Cold
brook to Quabbin lake In Green
wich. Still another tunnel has been
drilled through a steep West Ware
hill, though which Swift river, chief
water source, is diverted temporar-
lily to allow construction Of a dam
across the river bed.
Tunnel fatalities, additionally "a

other construction accidents to date,
have accounted for loss Of 81 lives.
Now part of the Quabbin reser-
