Col. F. c. Harrington, administra-
tor. told House Appropriations
Subcommittee today that w. p. A.
rolls probably could be cut In half
by July /. 1910.
Col. Harrington appeared at Sc
cret hearings on legislation to give
w. P. A. an additional $50, 900 900
requested by President Roosevelt
for its operations through June 80,
this year.
The administrator, members said,
also declared that he did not con-
slider the huge relief agency per-
manent and thought it could be
liquidated eventually.
Halving of the relief rolls by the
middle of 1910, committeeman indi-
Gated. would be predicated upon an
increase of private employment.
There are about 100000 on w. p.
A. rosters now.
Vandenberg Urges New Plan.
The subcommittee decided to re-
call Col. Harrington for further
testimony today. and some men,
bers said 1t might be possible to
wind up hearings Monday. That
would mean that no attempt would
be made to 60 into the controversial
question OF investigating and re-
vamping the whole relief setup, as
some legislators have proposed.
While Col. Harrington was testify
ing Senator Vandenberg, Repub-
lican, Of Michigan, proposed q sub
stitute relief program under which
spending would continue at the
present rate until June without
any further w. p. A. appropriation.
Senator Vandenberg offered bill
authorizing the President to con-
tinue spending from the recently
voted $725 900 900 w. P. A. appro-
priation at the current rate. The
fund would last until June / under
such an arrangement, Senator VAN
denberg said.
Over Two Months for Study.
THAT would give Congress two
and-a-half months to study the en-
tire relief problem and to consider
setting up some system to replace
that now In operation" the Michi-
gan Republican said. 1T also would
eliminate the present need of ap-
propriating an additional $50, 900. :
900"
Mr.. Roosevelt said a sharp reduc-
ton Of w. p. A. rolls on April
would be necessary unless the addi-
tional sum were provided.
Mr.. Roosevelt asked 1915, ,OO0, 900
for w. p. A. In January, but Con-
gress voted only $725, ,000, 900.
