WPA Should Be Abolished
Cleveland Plain Dealer)


 There is no longer any justification for WPA. It should be dissolved for the duration of the emergency tisFL
 While crops rot in the fields and farmers vainly beg for help coddle than 5000 persons on Cuyahoga WPA projects and equal number in IS neighboring counties. At long last WPA executives have ordered these receivers of charity to accept farm jobs under penalty of discharge if they refuse, but the WPA crews are sent out to useful work in the manner dotng mother would send her spoiled son into the world The workers assured that the WPA door will be kept open day and night so they may return without delay when the rains come and the apples picked.
 Why does the federal government still pour mill lions of dollars into WPA? The government insists that countless persons m private industry going to suffer drastic curtailment in their business and materials be diverted to war produc- tion. The government tells all of must cease much of our non-essential spending and that taxes will be heavy that little will be left for luxury. The government says that all of this is in the pub lie welfare; that the war cannot be won unless it is done. In this the government is right beyond doubt and American worthy of the will complain when sacrifices heaped upon his shoulders But every American citizen has the right to demand that the government also cut to the bone it's luxury spending.
 WPA apoogsts assert that the rolls are down to an "irreducible minimum that the 18,0oo in these IA counties unable to hold private jobs because of age or physical shortcomings. In plain words this means they unable to work 'f-
 If this is so, WPA becomes douby extravagant. It is sheer waste to divert to men and women who can produce nothing useful huge quantities of terias denied legitimate private enterprise It is also sheer waste to maintain small army of high priced WPA executives to plan and supervise work which the staff cannot perform
 If those on WPA are able to work they find jobs in private industry. If they physically unfit charity will provide for them We certain of thing The WPA administrators would be the last to admit that they themselves are unable to pick apples and pitch hay.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16
 Benefic aspects dominate today, but evil portents are discerned. The morning is more favorable than the latter part of the "A hours.
 HEART AND HOME: Routine tasks should be pursued today, but every woman should contemplate seriously the possible effects of the war. The configuration today encourages clear foresight and there should be no wishful think ing. Instead, girls should plan ser- vice to the nation and prepare for a period of unselfish exertion. Wo- men of all ages now should be- come realists who recognize that the American way of life is changing. This is the time to make ready for sacrifices.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Septem- Der and October, long foreseen as months Of accommodating perilS and added losses for warning nations, have brought to the business world keen realization of supreme ha- zards. With plenty of money in cir culation, the men who operate on small capital will suffer severely as taxes and wages increase. Com petition with Government stan- dards for pay checks will become extremely difficult by the end of the year. The condition of average men and women on salaries will e fortunate.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Each week the need of unity in national war aims and the danger of divergent opinions will become greater as propaganda seeks to crystallize sentiment opposed to Administra- tion policies. Radios and news papers will continue to advocate isolation ideas, even though it long has been too late even to suggest anything short of fullest aid to the Allies. The seers warn against cri- ticisln of those who differ from one in political philosophy. Bitter ness in thought as well as speech should be avoided.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS New inventions and changes in war campaign programs are prog nosticated for this autumn. The seers warn that the wise should pay heed to inventors and strate- gists. Novel ideas are to inspire amazing victories in the course of the second World War which will be extended many months. The winter is to bring terrible suffer ings and tremendous losses to the Allies as well as to the Axis Powers.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of vary ing fortunes. While there will be good luck in financial matters, un- expected events will cause re- verses.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be fortunate in their careers. Certain of them will win fame and high places in art and politics.

nation during the sub-zero snows of the North.
 But in the War Department, al- ways bearish regarding the Rus sian military picture, there has been good deal of skepticism about the reports received from our represen- tatives in Moscow For a long time none of our military attaches was permitted to visit the battle fronts. Secretary of War Stimson once gave the Russian Ambassador a personal dressing down on this point, with no result.
 When U s. attaches in Moscow urged these visits, the answer was, Its too far to get to that area;" or If we travel by air the Nazis are likely to catch us" Result: All our observers sat in Moscow, observing each other.
 In Washington, the War Depart ment got no better satisfaction from the Russian Military Attache, Col Ilia Saraev.
 But now the picture has changed American observers have at last got to the front and are getting first hand information. The change was brought about by the highly regard ed Col. Philip Faymonville who went to Moscow with the Hopkins Mission and who has stayed on as Lend- Lease Administrator He had been military attache in 1934-39 and has been very successful in getting along with the Russians.

RUSSIA'S CHANGES

There is considerable undercover disagreement inside the Adminis- tration regarding Russia's chances. but Averell Harriman's reports are fairly encouraging. In general, he has found that Russia has rifles, ar- tillery, and shells for the time being, but will need all the tanks, anti aircraft guns and airplanes this country can produce.

 YELLOWSTONE OVAL slcaac;on has been about twice as serious in Yellowtsone National Park this season as in 1940. On August l, 50 tourists had been bitten. That was more than were injured during the entire 1940 season. Park rangers say that attempting to take close up photograph of a bear is about the best way to be bitten. Thirty per cent of injuries are inflicted during such incidents.
