STATE ENGINEER
 BLOOM PROMOTED
Eleanor Little Says Only l2 of AZ Connecticut
 Members. Transferred

Asserting that the EZRA en- gineering staff throughout the state was being overlooked by the WPA in spite of previous assur- ances that they would be cared for, Miss Eleanor H. Little, state EZRA head in a circular letter re- ceived to-day at the office of Wil- liam M. Harris, local relief ad- ministrator, pointed out that only 12 engineering members of the state force of 42 had been trans- ferred.
 Of the 12 who have received WPA appointments however, one is c. E. Bloom, state engineer In charge of federal projects for Wa terbury. MT. Bloom, who has been engaged in the work for the EZRA here for more than year, is named assistant engineer for the New Haven district of the WPA. which includes Waterbury. Chief engineer for the district will be W. A. Gordon. Jr., of New Ha- ven.
 Miss Little's circular letter, sent to all EZRA regional offices, pre- sents the re-alignment of the EZRA under the new relief ad- ministration. Tn her concluding paragraph, she states: We greatly regret that the verbal and written understanding providing for transfer of a large portion of the ERA engineering staff have been repudiated. To date only IF en- gineering members of our staff have obtained employment with the WPA."
 When the WPA was announced as the successor to EZRA as an agency for the administration o1 work relief, 1t was generally as' stunned that the EZRA employef would be transferred to the new organization. Appointments made by WPA officials, however. have not substantiated this belief,
