ployment of six extra case work.
ers for five months and two have
been appointed so far. The delay
in appointing the other four, it was
said, is caused by the necessary diff
ficulty OF locating properly qualified
persons who are eligible for ap-
pointment.
Otto Cass, deputy District w. P.
A. director, revealed today that 81
persons who have been dropped
from the w. P. A. have been found,
upon investigation. to be ineligible
for social security aid and have
been restored to the w. P. A. ros-
ter. Slightly more than 900 per-
sons have been dropped so far.
Both relief and w. P. A. officials
discounted fears that those dropped
would be permitted to "starve," be-
cause, they said, emergency care in
some degree could be given pending
completion of new Investigations, but
they agreed that some hardships
would result from DELAYS pendino
