SCRAPPING OF WPA
THEATRE HITS RACE

New York, July 10 (CNA)-
Hundreds of Negro Theatrical
workers were facing loss of their
jobs this week as the Federal
Theatre Project ordered closed by
provisions of the Woodrum WPA
bill, discontinued all its plays.
Prior to the shut down two hum
dred Negroes had received dis
NASAL notices effectives as of

June 30. The effective date of the
notices has been extended to Oct
ODER l, when 1900 theatre project
workers, Negro and white, will be
thrown out of employment.
The shutdown in New York
was merely one phase of the same
action throughout the country. It
was reported that about so Ne
groes were affected by the closing
IN New Jersey, and that the num-
Der could be duplicated with vary
ing degrees in each city thu

plays closed in New York with
fairly large Negro casts was "Pin-
occhio." The play was character
lied by George Kendolf, director
of the New York division of the,
Federal Theatre as one of the best.
put on by the Federal Agency.
The scrapping of the Theatre,
was viewed with great distress by
leaders of the Harlem community.
Many pointed out that besides
the economic loss, it meant retar--
dation of the professional skill of
the workers involved. They asser-
ted that the Project supplied the
only opportunity for Negro actors
and actresses to display their ia
Tents, since private enterprises Of
fer very little chances them.
Fear of loss of jobs was report
ed having considerable effect on
the morale of the people of Har4
lem. There has been an apprecia-
bile increase in petty thefts and
hold-ups and indication of social
conditions which will result from
dismissal from WPA.
Small merchants in the COM
munly have repotted sharp
drops in their sales during the
9asi few weeks. This was attribut-
ID to fear of loss of purchasing
oower. Several revealed that the
irop was especially noticeable in
articles of necessity. Physicians
ave also reported increased ina
oility of their patients to meet
'ees for necessary medical SER
ices.
Apprehension was also felt
when the local WPA offices an
lounced that many of its play
ground facilities will be sharply
curtailed owing to dismissals
which will have to be made be-
cause of the provisions of the
Woodrum Bill.
Several groups lave indicated
thair intention of fighting against
the effect of the measure. The
Negro Arts Committee and the
Harlem Cultural Conference are
planning actions designed to curb
tho restrictive feature of the
bill. Both organizations have an
nounced that they will work close
ly with other groups in an en-
deavor to resist the effect of the
Woodrum Bill on the Negro peo-
pie.
