Cooperation with Industry Is Need for Employment Plan
Washington May 7 Congress was advised to adopt a plan of government cooperation with industry to boost employment rather than a permanent relief program. WPA chief Hopkins spoke as the House considered a 1937 WPA appropriation of 1.5 billion dollars, noting private hiring must rise for real relief. He urged reoperation with industry, defended boondoggling claims, and cited projects like Braille books and visiting nurses as beneficial, while dismissing theatrical and dancing programs as a small share of relief.

Money Grows on Dandridge Trees In Tennessee River
Women and children comb the French Broad River near Dandridge for five dollar bills washed ashore by high water. More than 150 dollars found in mud and debris have been turned in to the Jefferson County bank for exchange with the Treasury. Over 100 dollars were found in driftwood along a wide bend outside Dandridge. The bills are from a 1928 series and the origin is unclear with theories ranging from a Charlotte mail robbery to buried hoard. A recovered covered bridge era note adds local color to the tale.
