1934 Comptroller General of The US

[justnum]

How many billiard manufacturers existed in 1934?

If you were a lawyer and received this letter, did the comptroller violate any laws?

The weak politics of America billiard manufacturing created the lack of support for billiards today.
Pay the money and go to the political money with a political party.

Purchasing billiard tables can be used for recruiting youth, elderly, testing vision, hand eye coordination, counting and variety of other academic skills needed for military decisions in the US government.

Hint: No space program wants the lowest cost materials for testing. High quality woods are still useful in the lab.

Why didnt Brunswick just make an ultra cheap table to win all the bids?

John McCarl created a WPA program but it did not support billiards.

At the time billiards would have been competing with survival skills or monopoly level accounting.

Judges are paid off all the time. The corruption of a comptroller will take more financial auditing and political tracking.

Is Harry Hopkins related to Allen Hopkins? Did anyone ever hear about zeptabs? There is an ad in the paper.

Harry Hopkins has history in NY

With America's entrance into World War I, Hopkins moved his family to New Orleans where he worked for the American Red Cross as director of Civilian Relief, Gulf Division. Eventually, the Gulf Division of the Red Cross merged with the Southwestern Division and Hopkins, headquartered now in Atlanta, was appointed general manager in 1921. Hopkins helped draft a charter for the American Association of Social Workers (AASW) and was elected its president in 1923.

In 1922, Hopkins returned to New York City where he became general director of the New York Tuberculosis Association. During his tenure there, the agency grew enormously and absorbed the New York Heart Association.

When the Great Depression hit, New York State Governor Franklin Roosevelt called on Hopkins to run the first state relief organization in the nation—the Temporary Emergency Relief Administration (TERA). Hopkins met Eleanor Roosevelt only after he had accepted the job as head of the TERA. She reported, "I never heard of Mr. Hopkins until long after he had been working for my husband in New York State, so that whole paragraph on my having discovered him is untrue. In Albany, Hopkins and Eleanor began an enduring friendship, which had significant impact on New Deal policy.

Soon after Roosevelt's inauguration as president in 1933, he summoned Hopkins to Washington as federal relief administrator. Convinced that work should be the chief antidote to poverty, Hopkins used his influence with FDR to push for federal programs to provide government-sponsored jobs for the unemployed. Reinforced by Eleanor and Lorena Hickok's reports from the field, Hopkins worked to alleviate the suffering of the unemployed by creating work and relief programs for the unemployed. His particular contributions to the New Deal included the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA), the Civil Works Administration (CWA), and the Works Progress Administration (WPA). He supported ER's call for a National Youth Administration and the Federal One Programs, and the two worked closely together to promote and defend New Deal relief programs.
