Gated, will determine whether he

held their weekly conference with
the Chief Executive that it was 'im-

might get through.
"We are going to do all that is
humanity possible to expedite all es-

only that we discussed the whole
general legislative program" With
the Speaker were Vice President
Garner and the Senate and House
leaders, Senator Barkley, Democrat
of Kentucky, and Representative
Rayburn, Democrat. of Texas.
Senator Bankhead said he didn't
know when the House might get
to another relief appropria ton. but
that "of course, we have got to pass
a bill"
Mr.. Rayburn said a measure might
be ready in about 10 days and that
perhaps tax revision bill would
be approved late this week by the
House Ways and Means Committee
Special Session.
There has been some talk that
the administration would be salts

approved by the House only. Then
if foreign developments required, the
President could call special ses-

partments do not require further services from the WPA it will be possible to extend the work pro- gram to many communities now in need of federal aid.
 Dispel Doubt
 Because of this situation I should appreciate it if you will im- mediately notify your depart ment heads and ascertain wheth- CT or not they contemplate the further continuance of the WPA program. It is im- perative that I have this infor- nation soon and I should also appreciate public statement of your own policy in this regard. Such action will serve to dispel any doubts and misapprehensions, and will enable us to shape our course in the direction where it will do the greatest good.
 Insomuch as your inaugral ad- dress specifically mentioned this federal agency and by inference, at least, reflected some degree of discredit upon the works pro- gresS administration, I am caus- ing a summary of this letter to be given to the press of the state today so that the WPA side of the story may also be told.
 Yours very truly

tion constitute the second largest of their kind approved by this federal agency. A total of nearly $440000 in federal funds has been allocated for this work, with the state furnishing slightly more than $51, 1000 as the sponsors con- tribution.
 To date the works progress ad- ministration has expended more than $54,000 and while the state highway department has provided transportation for the workmen no report has been made to this office regarding the cost of this item to the state.
 Appropriations for the rehabili- tation of our state parks by the federal government through the works progress administration to- tai more than $115 ,000. Combined with the anticipated $80,000 in
 sponsors funds, a total of about nearly $200000 will be available for this necessary work of recon- struction. Included in this sum are projects designed to be prosecuted by the state department of public works, One of these, the repair of roads in Indian Well park, Shell ton, has been completed.
 Expenditures on this type of work total $7030 by the works pro- gress administration, with ony $48O spent thus far by the state park department. The largest sim gle project in this group is that of the reconstruction of build- ingS at Hammonasset state park in Madison.
 Humane Institutions
 It will interest you to know, I am sure, that great deal of re- mobilization work has gone for ward at our several state humane institutions. It was my feeling, and feel that you concur, that this type of work was more pressing importance than that needed in some other directions.
 May inform you that it is left to the discretion of the state admin istrator of the works progress ad- miniStration to operate projects where the necessary personnel is available and there the type of personnel required has a distinct bearing on the efficient operation of the projects.
 This suggests the matter of the continued operation of the state projects. In view of the nation wide curtailment of the WPA pro- gram, of which you are doubtless aware, it is imperative that I be informed as quickly as possible whether or not the several state departments desire our con- tinued cooperation in the prosecu- tion of existing projects and in possible work in the future. While am vested with broad discretion ary powers relative to the opera tion of all projects within the state of Connecticut, I give you my assurance of the desire to CO., operate with the several depart ments of our state where it is defi- nitely established that such CO., operation is needed and desired. However, in view of the consistent lack of cooperation by sponsors, as attested by the failure of the forestry department to make avail able it's sponsor contribution, I am forced to demand that the conditions of the project proposals be lived up to.
 There are many political sub- divisions of the state wherein it has been demonstrated the assist ance of the works progress ad- ministration is urgently needed now and that it has been appre- ciated in the mast If the state de-
