HEADQUARTERS
 OF WPALARCER
Assigns Staff to Tempo
 rary Hartford Office to Aid in Relief Plans

Temporary state headquarters of She works progress administration for Connecticut was completely set up this morning. in the old senate chamber of the state Capitol, where WPA officials are ready to discuss with officers of all towns in the flood district plans concerning tempo rary flood relief and projects for permanent repairs as a result of flood damage.
 Through the cooperation of the state Comptroller, 0. 0. Swartz, a complete ofilce was fitted out yes- terday afternoon and today a stafR of about eight persons was already at work on projects submitted with in the past 24 hours by towns sorely stricken as Q result of the flood.
 Buell. on Scene
 The temporary state office will bring State Administrator M. A. Daly in the closest possible contact with towns In the stricken area. Asso- ciated with him during his tempo rary emergency is Major l.. B. Rob- erts, chief regional engineer. The odore E. Buell., assistant to the ad- n1ipistrator, who has been in the flood area since floods first struck the Litchfield county section nearly two weeks ago, is also to be attached to the temporary state headquarters.
 Object of Plan
 Senator Daly pointed out today that routine business will continue to be handled at the state head quarters in New Haven or at the variouss district offices in Bridge port, New Haven and Hartford, as the case may be. The object of es- tablishing a temporary state head quarters in Hartford the adminis- trator pointed out, is to place the WPA facilities more conveniently at the disposal of towns and cities which need aid as result of the HnaA

ers' goods and services. However, expanded payrolls boost the nation al buying power and re-create 8 market for those commodities and services which a depression -pinched public has been forced to abstain from in whole or in part. Statis- ticians believe that a fair figure in estimating the amount of secondary indirect employment resulting from the PWA program would be 20,600,- . GOO n1an-motiths of employment; a figure equal to the most conserva- tive estimate of the total employ rnent provided in PWA construc- ton, and in supplying the mate rials for It's program.
 It might be recalled here that this first public works program was concerned not only with putting men to work but with maintaining those high wage standards for which American labor had battled 50 long and SO vigorously. To safe- guard these wage standards so la- boriously achieved, PWA in all of It's undertakings paid its workers the prevailing wage rate. PWA not only maintained the high wage scales of which America is justly proud, but 1t sustained the morale of the American workmen by pro- vlding them with employment on undertakings of unquestioned social value.
 It is this second objectiev of the PWA program whose beneficial ef- fects will be felt long after our un- employment crisis has passed and the great depression of the "Thir- ties" Is but a memory. Few of the many valiant attempts to break the depression will be remembered as long as that of PWA, because few of the emergency agencies created to speed the way to business recov- cry have 50 profoundly affected the future of the country.

 Engineers of the PWA are making a survey of damage done to PWA projects already underway. Under instructions from Secretary Ickes, MT Farley is gathering data as to what part of the program of recon- struction and rehabilitation can be carried out by the Public Works Ad- rninistration.
 State, county and municipal con- struction of dams, dikes, bridges and highways, as well as other pernan- ent public structures may be aided by federal loans and grants under the PWA program.

DENTAL SCHOOLS
 FINISH CLINIC

Cambridge, Mass, March &C., (uP)--A seven-year clinical study of 100 children at Harvard Dental school showed today: That 94 per cent of mothers whose children were free from dental decay had medical supervision during preg- nancy. That only 63 per cent of the mothers of the susceptible group had such care. That 88 per cent of the decay-free children had reg ular medical care during infancy. That only 38 per cent of the stis- ccptible group had such care during infancy.
 Drs. Paul K. Losch and Fred w. Morse, Jr., who conducted the sur vey, concluded that decay in chil- dreii's teeth is influenced by illness encountered by the mother during pregnancy or by the child during infancy.

 Recently number of racing driv- CTS, unable to drive on public roads owing to the cancellation of their licenses, have taken part in events on the principal British tracks.

 When this license is surrendered, the driver may appeal for reissue.
