BARES JOBS
PROGRAM
WPA to Be Enlisted
In Placement Plans
Revealed Today

President Roosevelt today an.
nounced a far-reaching program
for the absorption of former NRA
employees and other Federal work
erS dismissed from emergency
agencies into other Government
departmnts.
The new placement program, as
announced at the White House,
is designed to enlist the services
of the Works Progress Admins
traitor in an effort to give jobs to
men and women dismissed through
no fault of their own.
Given Preference
In recruiting of personnel and
in the filling of vacancies in agen-
Cies employing men and women
without Civil Service status and
paid from Federal funds, prefer.
ence is to be given to the en-
plyes dismissed from other agen.
cies of the Federal service.
1t is hoped that the emergency
employment placement program"
will take care of those employees
who might not be able to find
other employment.
The announcement from the
White House states:
''The President has directed
the administrator of the Works
Progress Administration to
undertake an emergency en-
plOyment placement program
and has requested the National
Recovery Administration to for
ward to the Works Progress Ad-
ministratOr lists of all employees
of that administration to whom
notices of termination of service
have been sent, but who have
not found other employment.
"These lists will include in
each case the name, title, last
position held, last salary re-
ceived and a brief statement of
the qualifications and expert
ence of the emplOye.
Asked for Tests
"Whenever other emergency
agencies contemplate reductions,
they will be requested to compile
and forward similar lists.
"The Works Progress Admin
istratOr will cause these lists to
be maintained and classified by
occupation and will make them
available to all Federal agencies
having nom Civil Service en-
plOyeS paid by emergency funds.
Such agencies will be instructed
to consult these lists when re-
cruiting personal or filling va
cancies before making any ap-
pOintments from other sources"
