ABLE BODIED MEN
 MUST TAKE JOBS
Those Who Refuse Private Employment Will Be
 Taken Off Relief
By RICHARD L. FAIRNESS

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, April 30 - CUP) - Withdrawal of federal aid from able-bodied men who refuse pri- vate employment as farm hands in agricultural states this summer was planned today by Works Progress Administrator Harry L. Hopkins.
 The situation became acute in the midwest last year. Landowners complained many laborers declined work to remain on relief rolls. Hop kins investigated. In areas where farm owners were not attempting to "chisel" down wages, he ordered state relief directors to withdraw emergency grants to force the work CTS to accept employment.
 The problem is present again. North Dakota farm operators as- serted they could not compete with wages, hours and type of labor of- fered on works progress and rural resettlement projects.
 They Must Work
 The states director of WPA em- ployment announced federal aid would be withdrawn from any work relief worker refusing bona flde farm job. He reportedly was acting with Hopkins consent.
 Hopkins adopted broad pro gram to make certain plentiful supply of farm labor this summer. Since mid-March, he has been pairing WPA work rolls at rate to reduce project employment from about 3,0O0,00O to 2,300,000 persons by July 1.
 Hopkins estimated 100000 of the 100000 discharged would be cared for either through farm labor or from food grown on their own plots of land. If a family leaves relief rolls with no funds, welfare agen- cies probably will advance money until the workers first payday.
 Work On Other Projects
 The other 100000 Hopkins be- lieved, could find employment on heavier work-relief projects starting this spring after the winter delay. Unless private industry permanctly employees a major portion of the number, however, they probably will be seeking government jobs again next fall.
 Reports to WPA revealed state relief administrators, separated from government control since the dole ended last December were follow ing Hopkins example.
 The North Dakota welfare direc- tor, E. A. Wilson, announced all relief clients must accept regular work If they can be placed. That is standard relief policy.
 Plan Fer Veterans
 Hopkins also must decide soon whether about 250,000 veterans on relief who receive government bonus bonds June IS, may continue on work-relief projects.
 He said he would take mo arbi- trar action, deciding cases on their merit" He intimated that, if a needy ex-soldier used his money to pay back debts and had nothing left over, he would be allowed to remain on the federal payroll. Individual states held the right to decide disposition of veterans on direct relief rolls. Their total has not been tabulated here.

 DEED WITH CLERK
Grants Permission to the American Brass Co. for
 Storm Drainage

Deeds giving the American Brass company, owner of the Waterbury Homes corporation, permission to lay a storm water drainage system through property of the Scovill Manufacturing company were filed today in the office of the town clerk. E. O. Goss, president of the Scovill company, signed the deeds.
 The section involved is popularly known as the White City" and Is located in the eastern section of Wa terbury adjacent to the Mad river. The Waterbury Homes corporatoin has been maintaining its own sew age system since the tract was de- veloped during war times.

TRAFFIC GROUP
 SUPPORTS PLAN
Pledges Aid in Campaign Against WrOng-Side
 Parking Here

Cooperation with the police de- partment in its current campaign against wrong-side parking was pledged today by the Citizens Traf- fic committee, of which John M. Burrall is general chairman The committee is composed of promi- nent citizens representing virtually every profession in Waterbury and was appointed last year by Mayor Frank Hayes to act on the findings of the WPA survey staff engaged in tabulating the city's trafac prob- lens.
 MT. Burrall, in discussing the campaign, made the following com ment:
 "The citizens traffic safety com- mittee would call attention of the public to the dangers of parking on the wrong side of streets. This means that when an automobile comes out from the wrong side 1t is crossing traffic thus making it a danger and 8 liability for &C., cidents.
 ITO park on the wrong side of street anywhere IS against the state law, also the city law. We would aske the public to obey these laws and we commend the work of Superintendent of Police William J. Roach and his association in ridding the city of this danger"
 Exactly $100 was paid in city court this morning by violators of the parking ordinance. The drive has netted on the average of $100 daily since its inception more than week ago.
