Vlt is definitely your /task and mine,” said the president, “to see to it that during the coming wihter there shall be increased vigilance in every locality against the giving of relief except to those who definitely and clearly need it and are entitled to it.” Shortly after the pre.sident had opened the conference. Federal Re lief Administrator Harry L.
