Hoover Signers Condemn Governor Rolph Over Lynching
California citizens including Herbert Hoover sign a statement condemning Governor Rolph’s stance on the San Jose lynching. Rolph’s reply underscores support for mob rule, prompting criticism from many Californians as they withhold boasting about the governor. A paving project on Massachusetts Street South from the courthouse moves to bid opening December 8, praised as work relief and a state highway link benefiting Lawrence and nearby workers. The project promises local employment within days of award, seen as a Christmas boost. A University faculty resolution protesting currency inflation is cited by the Wichita Eagle as evidence that not all faculty are on the government payroll.
