Administrator Aubrey Williams. while on a recent tour of western relief agencies. is quoted by a Los Angeles newspaper as saying: Care of transients--and of homeless Americans from the Dust Bowlis strictly a State problem. With that assertion. Mr. Speaker. apparently we cannot hope for substantial aid from Mr. Hopkins. W. P. A. Administrator. Apparently the responsibility for thousands of drought and depression refugees from all parts of the United States has been tossed directly into the laps of California taxpayers. who are already staggering under a terrific and everincreasing relief burden. What are we in California doing to help out this situation. speaking for Los Angeles County? In 1936 the cost of all classes of relief amounted to $87.51 per taxpayer. or $44.52 for each of the 2.366.904 persons residing in the county.
