WPA OFFICIALS
CHARGEDW|TH
LOBBYING
International News Service

A clash between Harry L. Hop
kins, WPA Administrator, and
leaders Of the House WPA bloc
was threatened today as WPA Of
ficials were charged with lobby
ing" against funds for a new pub
lie works program.
Members of Congress have re-
ported to Representative Better
CD of New York that they have
received urgent messages from
WPA State administrators and
others urging them not to sign a
petition to President Roosevelt to
approve earmarking of TOO million
dollars of the proposed 1900 mil
fon.dollar relief fund for PWA
projects. Said Better:
"a WPA official has asserted
that $4,000 people in my district
will starve if the entire 1,5OO,-
milliOn-dOllar fund is not allO-
Gated to WPA. That has fright
ened many people. Of course,
It Is not true. No one is going
to be allowed to Starve."
The petition asking for a 700,-
rnillion-dollar PWA fund has been
signed by la members, one-third
of the House. Leaders Of the PWA
bloc plan to seek q conference
with President Roosevelt this week
to present the petition.
While the President has OPP
posed the movement. the group
was still hopeful of convincing
him that just as many jobs could
be provided with PWA as with
WPA funds.
Reports have reached the Cap
itol, however, that Mr.. Roosevelt
planned to ask an additional
500, 100000 WPA fund if Con-
gress diverts money for PWA prof.
ects.
Charges also have been made
that PWA Administrator Ickes is
inspiring propaganda in behalf Of
q new Public Works fund. Mem
bers of the PWA bloc denied that
he is seeking to persuade men,
bers of Congress to override the
President.
