WPA WORKERS LEAVE
FOR PRIVATE INDUSTRY

More than twice as many WPA
workers left for private employment
in Washington during May as in April
according to Don G.. Abel, state Works
Progress Administrator, who said that
cut of a total of $4,000 on the pay
rolls last month, 2,133 left for other
jobs.
In April 9s6 left WPA for private
industry, said Abel, however o07 per-
sons returned to the Federal Works
Program in May compared with $40
the previous month. Persons who have
quit WPA for private Jobs are re-
hired if they are later out of work
through no fault of their own and are
i'll need. This is in accordance with a
policy of the Works Progress Admin
stration to encourage men and women
to leave WPA for private industry
" ithout fear o. subsequent loss of Sc
curity because of their initiative.
"With our June employment quota
set at $4,000, in addition to 5000
WPA workers loaned to other Federal
agencies, it will be necessary for only
1900 more to leave than return this
month in order to hire others from
the list of needy heads of families, I"
said Abel. "This list of needy employ
ables is certified by the state.
Indications so far this month point
to larger exodus to private industry,
he disclosed.

children in the city and county in

ed schools here last week, tentative
reports to Dr. A. d. Gregg, county
health officer, announced today The
clinic was in charge of DR.. John Dem

The clinics continued today. Dr.
Denholm finished the colored city
schools and started on the rural
schools during the five school days
last week. He spent the weekend
at his home at Sanatorlum and re-
turned today to resume the exami-
nations in the other rural colored
schools. nN'i
DR.. Gregg said that in the city the
positive reactions were about % per
cent and in the few rural schools
reached the percentage was 18 some
what lower.
Those showing positive reactions
are being recommended for X-ray
examinations, which will cost one
dollar per person.
1t has been hoped that sufficient
progress could be made in the two
weeks clinic to permit completion
of the work in time for check-up
