Press photo shows a White woman, Katherine Rush, sitting on the steps of the Iowa capitol building in Des Moines, gazing down and leaning against the wall. On her lap is a large handwritten sign: “Leon Iowa Curtis and Schmidt Fires. K. Rush off WPA. Schmidt says go tell fortunes?”
Back: The press information states: “Watch your credit. International Chicago. 20860. Hoover cousin sits. Des Moines, IA–Mrs. Katherine Rush, 41, who claims kinship to former President Hoover, has inaugurated a sit down strike on the steps of the Iowa State Capitol to regain her WPA job. She says she will sit and not eat until she gets her job” The last part of the sentence after that is obscured.
