" Federal funds: had been spent in

Relief Rolls.

. Timés Special - WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 26. ~The WPA today volleyed more criticism at local governmental units for failure to sponsor sufficient projects to keep certified WPA workers on jobs and off the relief rolls. Stanton T. Bryan, Deputy State Administrator, asserted that “unless local sponsors can maintain a res--ervoir of projects sufficient to employ their needy unemployed, there is no other alternative than to throw the load upon local relief officials.” He made the statement in an address at the 26th annual Road School sponsored by Purdue University. . Recalls Jennings Statement

Mr. Bryan’s address supplemented 8 statement issued Tuesday in Indianapolis by State WPA Adminis- ~ trator John K. Jennings, that approximately 12,000 certified WPA Forpars are out of jobs because of the failure of the local governmenta1 nits to provide sufficient projec

“There are at the present time numerous sections throughout the state where sponsors have not submitted sufficient projects to employ all eligible workers in their locality,” Mr. Bryan declared. “Such a situation, of course, results in increased local relief costs, loss of Federal funds to the merchants and others in the particular section and the loss ‘of any constructive public benefits which may have accrued from these funds. It does, however, constitute a strictly local problem and one which by its very nature precludes WPA assistance.” :

125 Million for Roads, Streets

Many of the Road School delegates represent state and local units of government which sponsor WPA projects. Mr. Bryan reported 125 million in

Indiana for road and street construction since 1935, furnishing em“ployment to 68 per cent of all labor employed by the WPA. Of the 48,000. workers employed on construc“tion work on Dec. 1, 1939, a total of 33,100 were engaged in street and road work, he said. Fifty-two per cent of the $126,000,000 was spent for the construction and improvement of secondary roads and feeders; 43 per cent was spent for city streets and alleys and 5 per cent for work on primary _ roads.

ASKS $10,000 FOR "MATE'S AUTO DEATH

VALPARAISO, Ind, Jan. 26 (U. P.) —A $10,000 damage suit was on file in Circuit Court today against George Wiemuth, an automobile salesman. Mrs. Elva Perry, the complainant, based her suit on an accident last July when her husband, Kenneth, was killed. She alleged that Wiemuth’s car forced a car driven by Earl Scott, in which Perry was riding, into a ditch. Scott and Wiemuth had bet $25 on which had the faster car.

AUTO STOLEN WITH $4000 FUR SAMPLES

. SOUTH BEND, Ind., Jan. 26 (U. P.).—Police today sought an &utomobile which was stolen from Henry O. Koch of Detroit, a salesman. The car contained 48 sample furs - valued at $4000.
