iWPA Expects
2,8OO,OOO on
Relief

(IN.S) Although WPA Ad
ministrator Hopkins foreseeS re
employment Of 100000 persons
during next fall and winter the
relief situation is so acute today
he contenplates boosting the
Work.relief rolls in all the coun
try's industrial centers.
At his press conference Hopkins
revealed of 100000 persons are
now being carried on the WPA
rolls and that an average of g.,
100000 will be carried during the
next fiscal year, up to February
/, 1899, with the $l,250,0o 900
WPA appropriation out of the
Spend.lend bill.
100000 IS LIMIT
He stated that he does not in
tend to let the rolls go over 3,000,-
900 persons during the seven
months period.
The WPA Administrator said
the reason behind the sudden
acute relief situation is the loss
Of reserve funds by a number of
persons due to the current recess
sion and the sharp drop in en-
ployment. He cited the situa-
tons of Chicago and Cleveland
as examples Of increased relief,
but blamed these situations on
the State legislatures.
ILLINOIS HAS FUNDS
illinois," he said of the Chi
cago situation, has $4,000, 900
in its treasury which could be
used to alleviate this situation.
1t is up the State legislature to
appropriate this money.
I'VE have done our share in
increasing the WPA rolls from
$4,000 to 10000.
In Ohio, exactly the same
situation is prevalent. The
State legislature has the funds
and only needs to distribute it
to take care of this direct re-
lief. In Cleveland, we have in
erased our rolls to 10000 per-
sons. If any State or city official
believes that the WPA has not
done its share. the heat should be
turned on us. We've had no
complaints.
He stated that the State legis-
latures would act quickly to aid
the relief situations in these two
cities.

DOCTORS TRUST
ATTACK BACKED
BY ROO SEVELT.
President Has Favored
Group Health Idea
BY EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt personally
is the motivating force behind the
determined move of the Depart
ment of Justice to launch an anti
trust drive against the American
Medical Association and the Dis
trict of Columbia Medical Society.
Reports of Assistant Attorney
General Thurman Arnold's move
have been shot through the ether
to the President aboard the U. S.
8. Houston by the world-encircling
Navy wireless system, and it is
understood messages have been
received in return indicating the
Presidents interest in and sym
pathy with the move.
These facts were admitted to-
day by high official close to the
President.
BLAMES REACTIONARIES
President Roosevelt publicly has
Indicated his antipathy to the atti-
tude of the medical society against
the Group Health Association plan
on more than one occasion, and it
is well known by his intimateS that
privately he has expressed the
opinion that the medical societies
have been too heavily influenced
kn,y O wv oln iT1 nn
. organizations. The President has
given Group Health every sort of
aid and comfort through weekly
contacts with John Fahey, chair
man of the Home owners Loan
Corporation, which promoted CHA
and loaned it $4,000 to start.
1t was a flare-up in the District
Medical Society'S fight on Group
Health which brought the PreSi-
dent out into the open in favor of
the Group Health idea and which
led to discussions eliminating in
the present tremendous $3.50 ,000,-
900 Federal health and sanitation
program, against which many
medical society officials are carry
ing on heavy warfare.
DEPLORED DOCTORS STAND
At the time the District Medical
Society dropped from its rolls two
physicians who had become en-
ployeS of CHA, the president at a
press conference stated strongly
that 1t was too bad the society
could not see the light but con-
tinued to take backward course
in opposition to a movement for
better health and better medical
attention, a movement which, the
President said at the time, was
going on all over the country and
was bound to succeed.
Following that episode the Presi
dent has given redoubled attention
to all suggestions for Socialized
medical and health programs in
cluding, it is related, a closer at
tention to such things as expanded
medical and disqualification pro-
grams for the Army and Navy.
