WPA Tone “Political”

But to my mind—and I think to}

any fair-minded person——there can be no question about the broad, general picture, The whole atmosphere

and tone of WPA in Kentucky is

political and has been at least since early March In a considerable measure, ve

sponsible for this political cast is the WPA director for the state,

George H Goodman, lifelong friend and supporter of Senator Barkley He comes from the Senator's home

town, Paducah. He owes his job to

the Senator He has been interested. for vears, in Senator Barkley's career He voted for Mr, Barkley when the latter first ran for the House of Renresentatives ago. Naturally he has a stake in the Kentucky contest

28 vears

In his statement on my stories Mr. Hopkins said he recognized that in a far-flung organization such as WPA there would occur “indiseretions by over-zealous partisans in he midst of heated campaigns, but that is a vastly different thing from a planned and organized campaign on the part of the responsible heads

of any government agency

It might then be interesting to] Mr. Hopking to know that Mr. Good-

man early in March, called upon his staff in various parts of Kentucky to make a poll on the Bark-

lev-Chandler contest and report tol

him

“Word From the Top"

A WPA directors job, although

ticed down the line through Kenfucky WPA officials that the organization was partisan. It was word from the top. As my investigation revealed, it was during March that the word went down the line It was then that Senator Barkley began to announce in telegrams from Washington the allotment of new WPA projects in Kentucky, one of which, it turned out, had been completed some time before That was the period of various inlents which I cited involving key officials of Kentucky's WPA Senator Barkley knows that WPA is playing politics in Kentucky He has not denied it In fact he adtted it when, on the Senate floor.

he bluntly declared that WPA

should be free to retaliate when state emplovees play politics and urged the Senate not to hamper WPA and “tie it to a tree” by passing the Hatch amendment forbidding politics in relief
