families on direct reiies bear out the statement made by the Demo- 'crat that men are finding 1t vir- tually impossible to get back on the WPA as the pwA jobs are compiet. cd. Fifty men were dropped because of improved financial conditions, yet there is no noticeable drop in the relief figures as . whole.
 It follows then, that if private employment fails to absorb relief eases and tho WPA curtailment continues, the men must report fot direct relief. The figures may change but the total will not. If 100 men are laid off the WPA the WPA total will read 003 instead of 7D3. But the number Of families receive ing direct relief will jump from the loo reported this morning to 800.
