"Guy"

P: In Philadelphia, CWA assigned 408 men and $69,197 to improve the housing of the zoo's animals. Also, 900 men were requested from CWA for an indefinite number of days, to exterminate each and every Philadelphia rat. P: In Tennessee, CWA assigned to the State University one person and $30 to translate a German manuscript on plant diseases.

P: In Georgia, CWA was put in charge of Miss Gay Shepperson, fortyish, professional social worker. This resulted from a thoroughgoing quarrel between blatant dictatorish Governor Talmadge and President Roosevelt's quiet stubborn CWAdministrator Hopkins. In the course of the quarrel, these words flew:

Talmadge (on a return from Washington) : "Washington is a madhouse."

Hopkins (on Talmadge): "All that guy is after is headlines. He never contributes a dime, yet he's always yapping. Some people just can't stand to see others making a living wage."

Talmadge (rebutting) : "I don't refer to him as that guy."

Ostensible point of dispute: Governor Talmadge's claim that CWA paid such high wages that Georgia farms were being denuded of cheap labor. Probable real point: politics & patronage.
