Operations of the Home Owners'
Loan Corporation have "accomplished
as much, if not more, than any of the
administration's recovery measures to
bring the country back from the depths
of misery and depression," Frank
Holden, state manager of the HOLO.
told the Atlanta Post No. 1, American
Legion, at its weekly luncheon meet-
ing Friday at the Ansley Hotel.
In a little more than a year, he
said, approximately $28,000,000 has
been disbursed in Georgia by the
HOLC, of which $1,648,543 went to
pay back taxes and $2,217,899 for re-
pairs on homes.
Loans have been closed on 12,235
homes throughout the state, Mr. Hol-
den related.
"Our accomplishment is due to the
willingness and the enthusiasm of
every one employed in the Georgia
agency," he said, "and the success of
the corporation's operations is not due
to any one individual. Employes
have willingly and cheerfully respond-
ed, working overtime without any
thought of additional compensation.
and their fine co-operation has great-
ly contributed to the success of the
agency's work."

Your Excellency,
Mr. Bernebe Herrera, a resident of

asked me to inform your Excellency that he is send-
ing you a lamp in expression of his esteem and
admiration for you.
Mr. Herrera is a Mexican who has re-
sided in this country for the past seventeen years.
He is a genial old man who supports himself and
family by making and selling objects such as the
lamp he is sending you. Many of the winter visitors
in the Phoenix district have admired and asked for
this lamp, but he has told them that it is a work
of love "for the greatest man in the country". The
lamp is made entirely by hand, and Mr. Herrera hopes
that it may be of some use to you whom he so
greatly admires and loves.
May I take this opportunity to express
my personal wishes and esteem, and to assure you
that my daily prayer is that God may continue to
es
bless and protect you in the great task that you
have undertaken.

Dear Mr. President:-

Noticing some reference recently of the

I an taking the liberty of sending you under separate cover parcels
post, a copy of "Criminal Justice in England" byt my son Dr.
XPPF9B.
Pendleton Howard, at present dean of the law school, University of
Idaho, Moscow, Idaho.
The general subject of criminology and the apprehension of
criminals, prosecution, etc, is a very live one these days under
the able leadership of Atty. General Cummings, and I believe you
will find the book very readable and informative, if you ever find
time to read it. The book has received commendation from such
authorities as Professor Moley, Dr Nicholas Murray, Butler, John H.
Wigmore, (Northwestern University), Hon. Geo. W. Wickersham and
others.
