Utterback Presses to Oust Keller as Iowa WPA Chief
Former Rep Hubert Utterback steps up a bid to remove George J Keller from head of Iowa Works Progress Administration. He lodges protests with Postmaster General Farley and WPA leaders, while Sen Clyde Herring and Sen Guy M Gillette block confirmation citing local protests and labor opposition. Gillette hints at nominating John M Naughton if Keller withdrawn, as Herring dismisses Utterback’s efforts as fruitless. Local labor groups from Sioux City to Council Bluffs oppose Keller citing conflicts with labor interests and multiple jobs.
