JENNINGS READY T0 AID HOUSE IN CITY WPA CHECK

Doubts Charges Labor Used On Private Properties Are Merited.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, May 30.-John K. Jennings, Indiana WPA administrator, declared here today that he is ready to go before the House committee investigating the WPA and “explain any of the alleged irregularities” charged by the Hoosier Republican Congressmen. Informed of the affidavits filed by Rep. Raymond S. Springer (R. Ind.) charging that WPA labor was used on private properties in Indianapolis, Mr. Jennings said he would be glad to answer any questions of the committee,

“I know everything that goes on] §

in the administration of WPA in Marion County and elsewhere hroughout the State and will be glad to appear and answer questions if ordered to do so,” Mr. Jen nings said Confers With Harrington

“I hope that these latest affidavits have more merit than the previous charges, which I proved to be unfounded by a thorough-going investigation, he added. Mr. terday at Harrington, istrator ters here ever had rescinded his order consolidating the New Albany WPA district with ousting John A. Cody, New Albany director, and putting Pose Denning, present Marion County director, in charge. “That order always has been scheduled to go into effect June 1, just as I originally announced,” Mr. Jennings said.

Minton Has No Comment

Senator Minton (D. Ind) who was credited with having stopped it here, declined to comment. Mr. Jennings did not discuss the matter when he called on him yesterday, the Senator said. The Indiana director did discuss terms of the new WPA bill with Rep Louis Ludlow (D. Ind) who is on the subcommittee drafting the measure. The same committee is conducting the WPA investigation, but since Rep. John Taber (R. N. Y.) has not yet presented the Indiana charges to it, Rep. Ludlow feel like inviting Mr. Jennings to appear, he said.

IN POISON RING QUIZ

PHILADELPHIA, May 30 (U. P) —Two surgeons were “on call” today for questioning regarding a private autopsy performed on a suspected victim of Philadelphia's murder merchandising syndicate. Preparing for a post-mortem examination on the exhumed body of Mrs. Lena Winkleman whose death in 1936 was ascribed to diabetes, police surgeons and city chemists discovered that her spinal cord and vital organs had been removed and the cavity stuffed with cotton and excelsior. Joseph Swartz, her son-in-law, confessed in open court that he substituted poison for medicine prescribed for her, but later through] counsel recanted the The State contends the poison was] obtained from the murder for insurance syndicate blamed for more than 100 deaths—mostly by arsenic. Assistant District Attorney Vincent P. McDevitt pointed out that Pennsylvania law does not ban private autopsies requested by the family of the deceased. “What we want to know is whether the family gave its consent, and why such a drastic action was taken in the case of a woman who supposedly died of diabetes,” Mr. MecDevitt said.

portionate share for relief. Rep. Taber's figures, on which Republican congressmen are expected

to base their formula for relief funds distribution, was designed to indicate by percentages how much each of the states contributed for relief work in relation to its population. Republicans, and some Democrats, have urged that funds be pro-rated among the states according to population, the amount contributed by each state, and its number of relief clients. Allocation of funds under the present WPA program follows no definite formula, but factors of unemployment, prevailing wages, and | financial ability of states to provide | tor their needy, are taken into con- | sideration. | Rep. Taber's figures, based on | WPA rolls, census data and the Bigfgers unemplovment count, showed |that New York, with 103 per cent of the nation’s population, contributed 26.3 per cent of the total relief money provided in 1938 by the states. Southern states, in general, took a disproportionately small part in state and local contributions. Mississippi, with 1.6 per cent of the population, paid only 01 per cent of the total national state and local relief bill,

the first of 15 such hostels which] the American Friends Society, through the refugee division of its international Service Committee,

hopes to establish in separated rural sections of the United States.

University of Iowa, only 15 miles from here, have volunteered to take charge of lecture courses at the school. Several Quakers will live at the hostel to direct agricultural work and supervise recreation program. The refugees will be taught the English language, American history, civics, ecnomics, sociology. They will be taken to any church they desire—and are welcome to attend Quaker services, if they so choose, They will be encouraged to resume the trade they followed in their homeland, then attempt to secure this kind of work in some community which has a need for them.
