Bb "by Committee Without ~ ‘Benefit of Facts.’
Wayne Coy, Indiana Works Pro-
~ gress Administration disector, today
termed as “unwarranted accusations without benefit of facts” the
charges of pelitical coercion by the
Republican national committee.
The national committee yester-
day cited instances in which it - charged that WPA workers had been discharged allegedly because of political affiliations. “The Republican. national committee,” Mr. Coy said, “claims it has an affidavit of Peter Kent, Salt Creek Township, Monroe County, in which it alleges he lost his WPA
job after being elected Republican 2
committeeman
The facts are, according to Mr. Coy, that on May 6, 1936, Mr, Kent was referred by the U. 8. Employment Service to.a job under the Public Works Administration. The contractor, he says, did-not accept Rim because of a statement of Mr. Kent's doctor that he suffered Irom a heart ailment.
Reassigned to WPA “On June 24 a different doctor furnished WPA with a certificate saying he was capable of doing ordinary labor. He was reassigned
on Aug. 4 to a WPA sidewalk project and he is now in the employ of the Works Progress Administration,” Mr. Coy said. “The fact that Mr. Kent was a Republican precinct committeeman has not kept him from getting a job under WPA, nor did it cause him to lose his job on May 8, 1936, as the Republican national committee charges. “The Republican national committee also cited the cases of John Honeycut of Bloomington, who was laid off May 25, 1936, and Clover Stone, who was laid off on March 30, 1936. Both of these men were laid off in effecting the reduction from. 85,611, the peak of WPA employment in Indiana, to 68,250.
“Services Unsatisfactory”.
“As-a matter of fact, Honeycut's services were unsatisfactory and he would have been dismissed off any job where he performed in such a manner. In connection with the case of Clover Stone, the Republi- ‘ can national committee states that on the day that he was dismissed that Richard Wickens of Ellettsville was given an assignment slip. “The Republican national committee says, ‘his (Wickens’s) father is a Democrat.’ ‘I have made no effort to verify the statement in this particular, but the faets relative to his employment are: He failed to report for duty on March 30, 1936. An investigation by the WPA dis¢loses that he had private employment. He (Wickens) has not been on any WPA pay roll. since March 30, 1936.”
