APPROPRIATION CUT
MEANT WPA SLASH
Last winter, when there were g.
100000 men on WPA, Congress
voted an appropriation designed to
carry an average enrolment Of g.
100000 this year. 1t also ordered
the famous "payless furloughs" for
all workers who had been on the
rolls for Is months or more.
WPA slashed Its rolls heavily
during the summer and early fall.
as a result. There were 100000 Of
the l8-months people to be dis
charged. There were many others
who left the rolls voluntarily, or
were removed for other reasons.

AVERAGE ENROLMENT
OF 100000 FORECAST

But 1t had an enormous backlog
OF prospective enrollees-people who
had been certified for WPA employ
ment by the local relief organiza-
tioas and who were waiting their
turn. SO in July 1t go l3i 900 access
siors to Its rolls In August, 292 900,
and in September, 100000.
As of Nov. 1, WPA enrolment
had been cut to 1901 1914. Since
there Is always a rise In the relief
rolls In cold weather. this total will
rise during the next month or two;
but on present calculations WPA
will be able to get through TO the
end OF the fiscal year next June
with an average enrolment for the
year Of around 100000.
But 1t still has It's huge backlog
of people who are certified as In
need and who are waiting for WPA
Jobs. This backlog would be much
larger, as O matter Of fact, II II
were not for the fact that many
local relief organizations, knowing
that WPA Is not doing much hir-
ing. have simply stopped certifying
people.

Right now, WPA Is conducting

to the 18-months people who were
that most OF them are heading
straight back for WPA; In gem
eral. they we're the older or the more
poorly skilled workers. and hence
are handicapped In the hunt for
private employment.
Economic dislocation due 10 the
drouth and foods In various parts
OF the country have already thrown
O small monkey wrench into WPA's
retrenchment program. Orders went
out recently TO take on $4,000 addi-
tional workers In II OF the drouth-
and-hood states as a special relief
measure. II on top OF this. there Is
q business recession this winter,
WPA simply won't be able TO stick
TO It's 100000 average and will
have TO ask for more money.
The basic trouble, as one WPA
official puts II, is simply this
about one-fourth Of the country's
unemployed are on WPA. When
there Is o business revival, WPA
can expect that Its men will get
about one-fourth Of the new Jobs.
There has been an employment
rise OF about 100000 In recent
months, and WPA's share Of that
is 100000. But IN that time. II has
reduced It's own rolls by more than
100000.

The litanies of the coronation are

the mass proceeds. the Pope in a
lengthy ceremony consumes the sa-

The actual crowning takes place
on the central balcony of st. Peters,
overlooking great st. Peters Square.

The officiating cardinal deacon
lifts the tiara from its velvet cushion

crowning takes place, the cardinal
intones:

with three crowns and know that
thou art the father of princes and
kings, the rector of the universe,
the vicar of our saviour. Jesus
Christ, to whom is honor and glory
