WITTMER DIES PITTSBURGH, Nov. 21. -= P) - Henry Wittmer, 79-year-old president of the American Natural Gas Co., died at his home Wednesday. He was a pioneer in oil and gas development. Federal Administrator Of Relief Is Next In Series Of Association The Hon. Harry L. Hopkins, Ad- ministrator of the Federal Emer- gency Relief Act and head of the Works Progress Administration, will peak Monday night at Hill Audi- torium under the auspices of the Oraftorical Association. Described in the July Fortune magazine as "Iowan, veteran of 20 years of social work, student of Keats, fungi and psychoanalysis, and spender of $4,880,000,000," Hopkins will give a personal picture of the questions involved in the huge gov- ernmental projects under his direc- tion when he speaks on "Problems of Government." Presenting in real life a career dwarfing those of the heroes in Hora- tio Alger books, Hopkins rose from the son of a Sioux City, Iowa, harness maker through the activities of a newspaper business manager, politi- cian and general B.M.O.C. at Grinnell College to his present position as the' "greatest spender in the world." Hopkins has been associated with charitable organizations since his graduation from college. He succeed- ed Jesse Straus as chairman of the Temporary Emergency Relief Act of New York in 1932 through appoint- ment of President Roosevelt, and when the President projected the TERA on a nation-wide scale as the FERA he carried over Hopkins as the director. Something of Hopkins' personality is sketched in by Fortune with the comment that "He made old-line bu- reaucrats gasp by his wild slicing of red tape. Refusing to move into Jim Farley's marble post office, Hopkins gets his work done with a compara- tively small staff in a shabby office building sprayed with disinfectant which somehow manages to smell like a barnyard." The article in Fortune further says that Hokins "knows perfectly well that radicals everywhere regard his kind of a job as a basically-illogical obstacle to revolution of any sort, and that conservatives regard it as an equally illogical obstacle to their dream of old-style prosperity. Hopkins' own answer to the para- dox presumably lies in a feeling that= history never follows logical patterns and that no sort of logic is tough enough and realistic enough to stand against the immediate needs of mil- lions of poverty-stricken Americans,"' the article concludes. Tickets for the Hopkins lecture are available at Wahr's State Street book- store, priced at 50 and 75 cents.
