WOLFF SAYS G. 0.7 WOULD RETAIN WPA

Declares Party Would Let] None Go Hungry.

A Republican administration does not mean the end of WPA, Herman C. Wolff, Republican nominee for Mayor, told party workers at a precinct meeting last night at 3736 N. Pennsylvania St. “I think we must tell our WPA friends plainly,” Mr. Wolff said, “that with the Republican Party restored to power, WPA will continue. No citizen of Marion County, be he Democrat or - Republican, will go without fcod, shelter or clothing.” Mr. Wolff added, however, that the Republican Party was willing to advance a step and assure the WPA worker that it would get him a job in private industry with better wages.

A Constitutional Day meeting will be held Sept. 16 at the Riviera Club by the Washington Township Republican Club, Mrs. G. F. Kleder, general chairman, announced. Speakers will include Mrs. Eleanor Snodgrass, vice state chairman of

the Republican Party.

SHEPPARD FAILS

T0 GET LETTER SENT WPA MEN

G. 0. P. Charge Is Mailed to Relief Workers in Clay County.

Times Special WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—Senator Sheppard (D. Tex.), chairman of the Senate Campaign Expenditures Investigating Committee, said today that he has not received a copy of the letter sent to Clay County, Indiana, WPA workers by the county Republican committee, According to reports from the state the letter was to be sent here by John K. Jennings, Indiana WPA Administrator, who likewise was to give a copy and records of WPA activities in Clay County to Senator Minton. Mr. Jennings called the letter unwarranted and libelous. The letter, sent out Aug. 20 over the signature of County Chairman George N. Craig, charged much WPA money was being paid to persons “not in need of relief” and “many corrupt practices” had prevented the workers from getting money intended for them.

Senator Sheppard said his com-

Jnittee staff would act at once if

called upon in such a case, but that so far no correspondence on the subject has been received. Previously a letter of complaint alleging WPA corruption in Owen County was found unjustified by Committee investigators.

REAL ESTATE BOARD WILL FETE HAVELICK

A recognition program for P. A. Havelick, member of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board since 1888, was to be held today by the Board at the Hotel Washington. Mr. Havelick is a former president of the Board and has been actively connected with it for 50 years. Three other former presidents of the Real Estate Board, Albert E. Uhl, Frank E. Gates and Thomas F. Carson, are in charge of the program. Ford Woods arranged the program and will serve as the master of ceremonies. George T. Weldon, Board president, will preside at the meeting.

Annual Incomes Under $1250 For Half of Indiana Families

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—Half of the families in Indiana and 10 other states comprising the North-Central region have annual incomes of less than $1250, according to the National Resources Committee income report presented to President Roosevelt. In an analysis gauging the buying power of the nation’s 39,000,000

families and individual consumers,

the committee found the North-|jincome figures included the value of | farm products grown and used by

Central region average slightly high-

er than that for the nation as a

whole, however. The committee’s conclusions were based on a sampling of 300,000 families in farm sections, villages, large and small cities and metropolitan areas. In Indiana, statistics were gathered in Muncie, Logansport and Peru, The family incomes in Indiana and other states in the region rose in proportion to the size of the communities, the study showed. In cities of 100,000 to 1,500,000 population, the number of nonrelief families receiving incomes of $1250 or less amounted to 32.1 per cent. In mid-dle-sized cities, 25,000 to 100,000, the

proportion was 44 per cent and in|

small cities it Among farm families the ratio was 50.9 per cent. The study was made on the basis of income for the 12-month period from July 1935 to June 1936. The

was 48 per cent. |

rural dwellers and the money value of the owned homes of city residents. For both relief and nonrelief families in the North-Central region, the committee reported these per=centages for various income groups: Some Get Less Than $250

Income of $1250 or less, 49.4 per cent; $1250-$2500, 36.5; $2500-$5000, 10.9, and more than $5000, 3.2. For nonrelief families, the number receiving $1250 or less was 42.1 per cent, the committee said. Approximately one out of every 50 nonrelief families in the region is existing on less than $250 a year, the report showed. The North-Central region includes Indiana, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri. The report showed that in the nation as a whole, one-third of all American families and individual consumers had incomes of less than $780 in the period studied, one-half had less than $1070 and two-thirds less than $1450. 2 Per Cent in Upper Brackets At the other end of the income ladder, the report showed that for the nation as a whole about 2 per cent of all families and individual consumers received incomes of $5000 and over and less than 1 per cent received $10,000 and over. Totaling the income of all families in the nation, the aggregate was $48,000,000,000, the report said. Breaking this down into shares, the report said, “. . . we find that 42 per cent of the families with incomes of under $1000 received less than 16 per cent of the aggregate, while 3 per cent with incomes of $5000 and over received 21 per cent of the total. The incomes of the top 1 per cent accounted for a little over 13 per cent of the aggregate.” When individual consumers—single persons—are added, the aggregate income totals $59,000,000,000, the report added.
