Dear Professor Leopold: 
I have had an opportunity to talk with 1r. Widma:in regarding 
your application for help in work relied ,or conservation 
work. 
Mr. Widmann is       in accord with tbis work, but in 
discussing with him the laoor situation, we feel we will have 
no one available because of the followin circumfstances. 
First of all, the men available at Lake 1jills will be required 
to rezwurme operation on an unfinished project. We can not 
vcry well take labor away from there. 
In regards to available labor at Waterloo, Mr. Widmann feels 
that for the time being they should not be given an opportunity 
to secure work on a wo'k project, and by so doing, it is 
possible that they will rake an efiort to secure farm work which 
is their normal occupation. 
I am, however, placing through yourapplication for approval so 
that if there is any opportunity at all to provide laeor by 
April 29, we can go ahead with the project although this looks 
very uncertain. 
YQurs very truly, 
Leif    Eriksen
