PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
WPA MEN FAIL
To GET EMPLOYMENT

Editor The Times: According
to a statement issued by State
WPA Administrator Carl w.
Smith. $500 project workers
must be dropped from the rolls
between now and June. Smith
further states that 1000 workers
were dismissed in March.
About two weeks ago Nation
al WPA Commissioner Howard
o. Hunter issued an order put
ting into effect a 4s-hour work
week on defense construction
projects. According TO Hunter
the order was issued to expedite
work and move up completion
dates on certified defense prof.
ects. Thus, we have the incon-
sistency of WPA workers being
laid off on the one hand and an
order being put into effect 10
hasten defense preparation on
the other hand. Which is about
in line with the inefficient super
vision Of WPA in this state.
There is no constructive rea-
son why sufficient WPA labor
should not be employed in num-
bers great enough TO finish de-
Tense projects in keeping with
the national administrstion's de-
sire for "all-out" aid TO Britain.
Out in the WPA warehouse
at Center and Cedar SITS, are
thousands Of shovels, picks, mat
tocks. axes, wheelbsrrows and
other tools sufficient to put 5000
men to work in this county. And
no one will dispute that there
are enough idle men 10 use SAID
tools II given the opportunity.
Instead OF laying project work
ers off 1T would appear more in
keeping with defense efforts to
put more on and IL necessary
esta olish two shifts OF workers.
Carl Smith also states that
many OF the WPA workers being
dismissed are obtaining jobs in
defense industries. I do not know
about the rest Of the state, but
as for that applying 10 the city
OF Tseoms. all can say is plain
bunk" And further suspect
that Smith knows that our one
major defense industry. the ship
yard. is not absorbing workers
dropped from WPA.
With the president requesting
and congress appropristing bill
lions Of dollars for defense prep
srstion. there should be few i'd.
men.

official tslthough nightly brief

regarding a new invention.

news with a different thought.
Briefly, II seems some smart
Swede has invented a simple and
effective device for separating
oil from bilge water.

As for the economy angle. one

Speaking OF the war in Sean

the Norwegian merchant fleet.
Norwegian shipping without
a country but otherwise more
or less the same 49, presently
amounts to 900 ships and 10000
seamen. Strategicslly from a
military point Of view, that isl

Is equal TO million soldiers.
Incidentally. about half of the
fleet is operated from New York
City by the Minister Of Shipping
and Supply for the Norwegian
Government in Exile. The other
half is chartered to the British
ministry of shipping.

Please understand there is as
much Importance attached to
what boat owners may do in the
future (some of the additional
changes don't become effective
for two more eyars) as there is
TO present circumstances.
As a matter of fact, after a
cursory inspection Of the new
setup, wei venture the opinion
that motorboatists - both pres
ent and future--had better play
II smart and find out what's
what right at headquarters.
Lights. life-saving equipment,
ventilation and other odds and
ends are all adequately provided
for in the new laws.
And last but not least, there's
that beautiful new paragraph
modestly entitled RECKLESS oper-
ation"-"any person who shall
operate any motorboat or any
vessel in a reckless or negligent
manner SO as to endanger life.

guilty of misdemesnor

Unless you are one Of

In general. under the new

HOROSCOPE
FRIDAY. MARCH 2s

Mildly benefic aspects are dis
cerned for today which should
be fortunate for industry. News
mediums will profit greatly in
coming months, although costs
OF gathering information will in
crease.
Heart and Home: Women are
likely to find their greatest hap
piness In ordinary routine today.
Girls need not look for enthusi-
astic devotion from eligible
young men. because war posi-
bilities viii distract attention.
Work that Is practical in its
potentialities is recommended TO
all except tho aged, and even
they will find ways of rendering
public service. This Is u favorable
time for making the home
beautiful. Since world changes
will affect modes OF life even
in the United States, pleasures
which will supply delightful
memories In the future should be
sought for the family.
Business Affairs: Continued
prosperity will be unfortunate
for many government employees
who have no vision of future
date when salaries will either
cease or be reduced. However. a
military period OF more than a
decade IL foreseen. Property
owners will pay greater and
greater taxes, but there should
be little continued objection
when events demonstrate how
great WAS the need of prepared
ness. A m sement enterprises
will profit handsomely through
the coming summer. Desire 10
forget war will cause great
demand for entertainment OF
every description.
National Issues: Careful adj
ministration OF government af-
fairs will be demanded, as
rumors of fayoritism and graft
are circulated with the aid of
fifth columnists. Economy will
