Her name i Mrs. Celia Dial Saxon.,: WPA FUNDS -AND POLITICS The repcrrt of the Associate* press last week end stated in sub . < stance that the. Senate gave fina approval to the $725,000>00( emergency relief bill after writ ing into it broad restrictions a gainst use of any "federal fund: for political purposes." President Roosevelt asked fo jan appropriation of $875,000,00' lo carry on the WPA work fron February 1 to June 30. Botl houses of the congress have nov , approved the bill with the reduc tion of $150,000,000 which is don* according to congressional rules and now the bill goes back to the .house for consideration erf thesi restrictions. The United States Congress ii its actions herein stated showe< no SignJOf fWling pgairvgf Rnn.q velt's good intentions to help th< people. It,,wrote into the bill j clause which leaves the way opet for another appropriation by al lowing President Roosevelt to si advise the Congress if this appro priation is insufficientn during th< spring months.' What the leaders in Congi-eg seem to be worried about is^wast ing federal funds for' political purposes. A cut of $150,000,000 means t cut in employment of a proper tionate number now on the paj - rolls.There may ri?ot be too juftnj - needy- people ' employed under W PA but we believe that there^jf too? many bureaus, and too mail J heads drawing big salaries whq^'ijno wayr nneed relief. In ptiirg ing the rolls the cut should be among the White collar job-holders And no^ so fhuch among the people who liv*, as it were, from "hand to /mouth". To cut out politics and politicians may help much if another gfroup of politicians with eq,ual corruption is not placed in the new set-up. Why pay_ the "white collar" politician $200 p^r month and the poor laborer $35? Shame! WARM SPRINGS, GA., AND TIIC NEW DEAL? 7Z~ ' The Warm Springs Georgia Foundation has been building its foundation! for several years. The money comps in annually from the celebration of President Roosevelt'g birthday ballsjjiyeii in February every ypar all over the country. The funds are raised Ifti*' i - - to aid people , suffering with tn" "Tantile paralysis. We did riot kJhow that "way down in Georgia" the foundation would provide for Negroes suffering with the illness. Hon. Fred Moore of the New york Age it ? now urging Negroes of Harlem to ' make extra efforts in raising " funds for the foundation because - ample provisions are being made a to care for our people at Warm Springs. We quote a few para' graphs from Kditor Moore's edi torial: "Under the new program, provision has been made for all rac0 ial groups.- This is at it should be for disease knows, no cob 6 or line. We therefore urge sup port this year of Harlem's own celebration of President Rooae^ birthday, whidh will take place with a mammoth dance at the Renaissance Ballroom, 138 street and> Seveoith avenue. Bill Robinson, the popular actor, has been named chairman of the Harn lem Division and is ^presenting - many stage, screen and radio y stars at the Renaissance iw the night a* the ball. "Anjong other activities in the preseht drive is an intensive "March . of Dimes" designed to 'J give everyone in the city, rich * and poor alike, a chance to con? tribute^ to this worthy cause. Ori ganization of Harlem's shopping district was begun Tuesday with jj various chairmen appointed to as" sist' in the drive. '* A quota of $250,000 has been set for New* Yok City -and-AVe - urge our readers to help the city leach its goal by contributing .to - thfs fund. Harlem Negroes are not alone ' in their contribution to the Warm ? Springs Foundation. The -spirit 1 of the New Deal intended that re?lief be cariied to till Americans in need of health as well as those without means, of making a livr ing. . The New Deal has done good to many Negroes as well as whites the country over. Every one 1 should contribute to the Warm ? ^Springs fund. In Macon, Georgia, colored cite izens put over a successful drive f to raise funds for the fight a~ gainnst infantile paralysis. The Macon drive was sponsored by Stanley Elkin, chairman of the county program with a rsepa raie ne^nrvrpnuiBiion.
