Sewing Projects
Over State Makes
Many Garments
This Feature of WPA Secures Excel
lent Results in Fifty-three
Centers in State.
First Lindbergh Law Victim
Fast flying needles in the hands
of 2,701 women employed on the 53
WPA sewing centers in Nebraska
have produced 334,722 garments
since the sewing projects were start
ed last November, D. F. Felton, Ne
braska WPA administrator, an
nounced today.
All of the clothing manufactured
in the centers is distributed to needy
families on relief thru the surplus
commodities project, Felton said.
"We are very proud of what has
been accomplished by. these sewing
projects," the WPA administrator
said. "Through their efforts, many
families have been given warm cloth
ing and bed clothing during the cold
winter months and this much of the
burden has been taken from the
books of the already financially hard
pressed counties.
"This type of project is a concrete
refutation of charges of boon
doggling. Not only do we provide
clothing for those on relief and thus
help the local communities but
those projects also employ an aver
age of 2,700 women who have been
taken from the relief rolls and made
self sustaining," he continued.
"We consider this one of the best
kinds of projects because 82.1 per
cent of the money expended goes for
labor, while only 17.9 per cent goes
for material," Felton asserted.
The largest sewing center in the
state is at Omaha where 1,023 women
are employed, 500 of whom are
housed in one building. Lincoln's
sewing center on which 218 women
have been assigned for work is the
second largest in the state, but near
ly every county has at least one
project of this kind, Felton said.
Mrs. Ethel May Sanmann of Lin
coln is state director of women's and
professional projects and has super
vision over the sewing centers.
The average wage paid the work
ers on this project i3 $45 for 136
hours work per month, Mrs. Sanmann
said.

also better housewives," Mrs. San

given six hours instruction a month

homes. They are taught the essen
tials of dieting, of budgeting the

we are not only giving them Jobs

Herring Sug
gested as the
Running Mate
Iowa Governor Importuned to Make
a Bid for Vice Presidency Re
ceives Many Messages.
Des Moines. A personal friend of
President Roosevelt, Gov. Clyde L.
Herring of Iowa, was being urged to
seek the Philadelphia convention's
selection as the president's running
mate. The Iowa executive, announc
ing the suggestion that he permit
his name to be advanced for the vice
presidency had been made to him
verbally and in leTters and telegrams,
later commented: "I wouldn't want
to do anything of which my good
friend. Vice President Jack Garner,
would not approve."
As he cleared up his desk pre
paratory to leaving for Philadelphia,
where he will attend the convention
as an Iowa delegate, the governor
added that he hasn't had time" to
give the suggestion much consider
ation." A telegram which the gover
nor made public was from J. R. Files
of Los Angeles, one-time candidate
for governor of Iowa and now a
leader of Roosevelt forces in Cali
fornia. It read: "In the event the
nomination for the vice presidency
should become open I sincerely hope
you may permit your name to be pre
sented. No living man could dim the
prestige of Landon so well as your
self. Comparison of records would
become an invited and inevitable
challenge. Count me in should the
contingency arise."
The telegram and messages the
governor said he received are in ad
dition to some he received from
friends in other states. Including
Oklahoma and Florida, earlier in the
year.
