HOPKINS SEES WPA JOBS FOR RELIEF CLIENTS

Weeding-Out Process to Create Vacancies on Work Rolls. * BY ROBERT S. BROWN Time* Special Writer WASHINGTON, March 2.—Early employment under WPA for the thousands of relief clients now denied jobs because of quota limits, or because they applied for aid after Nov, 1, 1935, was forseen today by Harry L. Hopkins, WPA Administrator. Mr. Hopkins expects a reduction this spring in the present army of th’ee million WPA workers. This reduction will result from several factors: 1. Other government agencies, drawing funds from the 1935 workrelief appropriation, will need 400,000 men to carry out approved construction programs. At least 250,000 will come from WPA ranks. Other Factors Involved 2. While there are many who need and are qualified for WPA Jobs, there also are many holding them who are not qualified. WPA Is preparing to go through present lists and weed out this latter group. Each job thus vacated will be refilled. 3. There is a small proportion of farmers drawing WPA wages. Care of these individuals and their families is a job for the Resettlement Administration. Others will go off WPA because of a seasonal increase in farm labor. 4. The voluntary reduction in WPA ranks averages about 3 per cent a month now. It covers those who get jobs in private industry and those who are dropped for various reasons. This reduction is expected to continue. Reductions Mean Jobs “With these reductions,” Mr. Hopkins said, “we will be able to give jobs to those who can’t get them now and are qualified, and st the same time cut down the total WPA employment figure.” Discussing this week's survey of the relief problem by ScrippsHoward Newspapers, Mr. Hopkins said, “There probably are as many persons receiving some kind of relief today as there were on Federal relief rolls a year ago. “It is almost impossible to get a true relief total today,” he continued. * When all the needy were on FERA we knew where we stood. Now part of them are accounted for by state and local agencies. Direct Reliei Totals High “I am inclined to believe that some of the direct relief totals as announced by the social service groups are too high, especially as they apply to employables. In many cities WPA has taken over every employable. “Either these figures as reported in the survey are overestimated, or the figures generally reported for total unemployment are too high.” He believes that the answer to the relief problem rests in social security legislation. He thinks the social security act of 1935 is inadequate, but he hopes that as time goes on, and the social security board begins to function, the scope of old age pensions will be expanded, care for dependent children increased and unemployment insurance benefits standardized. “Continuance of the present WPA work program is up to Congress,” he said. "W r e are doing a good job and we stand on the record.” Probable Cost Not Estimated The WPA chief would not estimate the probable cost of WPA for the fiscal year beginning next July 1. He said he would have sufficient funds from the original four billion dollar relief appropriation to carry WPA through June 30. He does not expect a concerted turn of the Federal dole when Congress begins consideration of new move on the part of states for a rerelief appropriations next month To employ a man on WPA now costs $65 a month on the average. If Mr. Hopkins expects to employ three million men on the 1936-37 program, Congress will have to appropriate approximately $2,300,000,000 for WPA alone, not taking into consideration almost certain demands from the Resettlement and Public Works Administration. PWA Contract Approved Public Works Administration state headquarters today announced approval of a contract to W. A. Armstrong, Terre Haute, for construction of an addition to a hospital at Linton. The bid was $59,834.

2-WAY BATTLE LOOMING OVER NEW TAX BILL

Inflationists and Reduction Forces Join Hands on Capitol Hill. By United Press WASHINGTON. March 2.—Congressional opposition formed into two lines today for the gauntlet which President 'Roosevelt's $1,137,000,000 tax bill must run when it reaches Capitol Hill, probably tomorrow. In one group were Republicans, some Democrats and outside organizations demanding reduction in New Deal spending. In the other were inflationists insisting upon printing press money. Although Administration leaders were confident of pushing through a program calling for at least $786,000,000 a year in new revenue, they expected a hard fight in both houses. Some members talked of a “tax revolt” and there was general reluctance to enact additional heavy tax burdens on the eve of a general election. The money, President Roosevelt said, is needed to finance farm relief and bonus payments. THREE LOCAbSTUDENTS IN PLAY AT WABASH College Group Is to Present “Journey’s End” March 14.
