5th Columnisi
Purge on WPA
Workers Signing
Affiduvits

A new type of WPA purge
was begun this week in Tacoma
and Pierce county as it was
throughout the country under the
new "anti-fifth-columnist' provi-
sion Of the relief appropriation act
signed Wednesday by President
Roosevelt.
All workers on projects in the
area are being required to sign
affidavits pledging they belong
to no subversive groups.
Aliens were prohibited from
holding WPA jobs more than
year ago. The new bill is aimed
at American citizens with Nazi
or Communist affiliations.
Any worker who refuses to sign
the pledge will go off WPA rolls
automatically next week and any
one making a false statement will
be liable to two years in prison,
a $4,000 fine or both. The FBI
will be directed to look into doubt
full cases.
Forms for workers TO sign were
prepared in advance of the bills
signing, it was learned, and were
sent out to projects over the Ia
coma district Immediately.
Quota reductions already have
cut down the number of WPA
workers in the Pierce, Mason and
Thurston county area from $500
last winter to around 1000 now.
In this county, the project roll
is down to about 1900.
