ADMINISTRATION OF WPA RAPPED

Not Relief But Costs of Running Need Cut, Gen. Tyndall Says.

Governmental budgets can be balanced without reducing the

amount of relief, but by reducing the cost of administering it, Maj. Gen. Robert H. Tyndall, prospective G. O. P. candidate for Governor, told the Indiana Women’s Republican Club at the Columbia Club yesterday. Comparing the operation of government with that of a household, he said that as income is -reduced, spending for food and shelter need not be cut, but that for luxuries and entertainment. Gen. Tyndall declared that because Indiana has followed in the footsteps of the New Deal it is heading toward bankruptcy if a change is not made. . The Republican Party, he said, has to offer in place of the New

stead of recession; honesty instead of hypocricy; accomplishment instead of experimentation and freedom instead of regimentation.
