WPA ROLLS IN I STATE DOUBLED More Than 80.000 Persons On State WPA Payrolls ■lndianapolis, Ind., MarchS- -(UP) —John K. Jennings, Indiana WI’A 1 administrator, predicted today that the federal government "may be ■ destined to be In the relief business permanently." With more than 80.000 persons on ‘ Indiana WPA rolls at the present time, the total is only 5,000 less' than the state's all-time peak of 85,000 in February and March, 1936. Twenty thousand persons were add- J ed last week following passage by congress of the 135.000.000 defic- ; iency relief appropriation bill. State WPA rolls have doubled 1 within tlie last five months. Jen- I , nigs attributed this to "tho sharp ' recession in private business and industry starting in November." Earnings of the 80,000 persons now on rolls average about $52 a i month for a total of approximately $4,000,000, Jenjiings said. Five months ago the total earnings were about $2,000,000 a month. “Directors of the state’s mx WPA | districts last week experienced only | minor difficulty in putting to work 1 the 20.000 additional men and wo- | men provided for in the deficiency appropriation.’’ Jennings said. I State rolls are expected to re- ' main at 80.000 throughout March ' . but a considerable decrease is pre-
