The WPA has left them out on a limb, but it is not their fault. Really, if it had not taken such an interminable time to secure the various O. Ks’ needed, the new city hall could _have_been started two months ago. And again, it was not generally known that June 30 had been fixed as a dead line for completion of WPA projects. We surmise that finishing date is an afterthewgh of the authorities am Washington. The AAA reversal, the bonus srant to veterans and ee expensive changes wrought upon the New Deal, very possibly are — affecting WPA policy.

Nathan Leopold, killed an innocent young boy for the thrill. of it, has himself been murdered by a fellow prisoner in Joliet. No one but the parents of this degenerate will grieve, and perhaps they can find solace in that death has closed. ahorrible chapter in their lives. The episode serves to call to-mind again one of the most outrageous. miscarriages of justice in American history. The parents.of both young men-were rich. Smart lawyers succeeded in-saving the killeds’ necks from the henyp. It was one of those , defeats of justice which puts the whetted edge of truth.upon “You can’t convict.a million dollars!” Richard Quoting Al Smith of today against Al Smith of seven years ago is both futile and silly.
