Jeffries Explains
Stand on WPA

Far from being the foe Of the

today favorS aboliShing WPA only
so that WPA workmen can he put

Scrapped 10 free more people for
war work, declared the WPA is
an American answer 10 the reliei
problem and its superiority TO tho

Declared Mayor JeffrleS today
Far from favoring the discon-
tinuance Of WPA as such, feel
that i'm the case Of a city like
New York, where there are i5O.-
600 persons reported iobleSs,
WPA should be enlarged.
Here, where manpOwer Off
Gals have said we will need go
600 more workers in war indus
tries within a year, IL seems
paradoNical 10 keep LOO on
WPA. The original aim Of WPA
was 10 create jobs. II was never
intended As a maneuyer tn get
cheap labor.
IF the WPA Is doing a good
good job, as MIR. Larned SAYS,
! see no reason why the city
shouldn't hire them at regular
rates Of pay"
