Earle Week

With a month of private life left him before he becomes Pennsylvania's first Democratic Governor in 40 years, rich, socialite George Howard Earle of Philadelphia's swank "Main Line" last week:

P:Reported to the Pennsylvania Election Bureau that his successful campaign had cost $143,024, of which he personally had paid out $141,099.*

P:Bought, through an agent, $252.50 worth of Revolutionary General "Mad Anthony" Wayne's letters at a Manhattan Americana sale.

P: Chose three more members of his State cabinet and a new State Relief Administrator. For Relief Administrator he picked a New York magazine executive who lives in Connecticut, Robert Livingston Johnson, 40, vice president and advertising manager of TIME. Mr. Earle, who was President Roosevelt's Minister to Austria before resigning to enter the Pennsylvania campaign, first met Adman Johnson last summer on a transatlantic crossing. The Governor-elect last week explained his choice on the ground that the campaign had bred so much bad feeling within Pennsylvania that he was going outside the State to pick a neutral and non-partisan Relief Administrator. Before taking a year's leave of absence from TIME, Administrator-designate Johnson declared: "This is a little bit of public service a fellow can do. It's a big, hard job. though. In fact, it is a tougher job than I ever expected to face. I am literally going into training to tackle it. ... I am a good organizer. . . ."

*Pennsylvania is one of the few States which does not restrict campaign expenditures. New York's Governor is allowed to spend not more than $10,000.
