Senate group admonishes WPA deputy chief over wage talk
A Senate special committee condemned Williams, WPA deputy administrator, for a June 27 speech to WPA workers. He insisted the remarks were extempore and not political, urging workers to strengthen their unions while noting no pledge to support any candidate. The Workers Alliance defended the national administration but said no party or candidate was endorsed. The committee plans to report all such incidents as part of its probe into campaign expenditures and use of federal funds.
