280-Mi|Iion WPA Bill
Is Reported 10 House;
Jobs Reduced Sharply
Funds Will Employ
Only 400. 900 Monthly
In New Fiscal Year
B, the Associated Press.


A $280,000,0O0 WPA bill de-
signed to give employment to
400, 900 persons month starting
July l was sent to the House by
its Appropriations Committee to-
day with a warning that a sharp
retrenchment program was in
evitable.
In an accompanying report, the
committee said the appropriation,
recommended only two weeks ago
by President Roosevelt, would mean
a. reduction of SIS 900 persons from
the average Of the current fiscal
year.
With WPA employment this
month estimated at 750, 900, the COM
mittee said the 100000 figure would
mean either "precipitious de-
crease of $4,000 Immediately or a
gradual decline which would force
employment far below 400 900 later.
Face Sharp Reduction.
The report asserted:
During the fiscal year l943 with
estimated unemployment of 2,000, 900
to 2.500,000 and one-half Of that
number estimated to be eligible for
Works Projects Administration en-
ployment, the WPA with estimate
employment of 100000 under the
funds available would provide en-
ployment for between one-fourth
and one-sixth of the total unem-
ployed, and between one-fourth and
one-fifth of those eligible for WPA
projects"
The committee said that casual
thinking" might lead to the belief
that unemployment would almost
disappear with the war effort. But
it pointed out that civilian goods
production has fallen sharply, in
dustry is disinclined to hire older
workers and many persons cannot
get to war jobs.
Statistics in Report.
Statistics presented to the House
showed that:
About 100000 women entered the
labor market and took jobs in
March.
The average age Of WPA workers
has riser from 424 in November,
1887, to 46.4 last February.
Reductions in the appropriation
may mean the closing of some re-
gional field offices, particularly the
State headquarters.
In seven years, the WPA has pro-
vided work for more than 5000, 900
different persons.

intact under enemy bombings.
On the third day the Nazis started
an all-out attack. simultaneously in

a diversion attack from hill, then
swung infantry, supported by tank,

to the left Of the hill. But the d.
version failed, Red Star said
The Germans thereupon switched
their heavy attack to another point

The Raj and German dive bomb
ers fought hour after hour as the
battle went on. but the British Near

The brief communique said there

Text Of Communique.
The communique text:
"One of our columns operating on
q German line of supplies west Of
the Cauldron, inflicted damage on
the enemy and took a number Of
prisoners.
Heavy attacks on Bir Hacheim
by tanks, infantry, artillery and dive
bombers were repulsed after fierce
fighting.
"Our air force was active in as
sisting the land forces, especially in
the Bir Hacheim area where enemy
columns were effectively attacked.
There was little activity in the
Knightsbridge area"
Military observers believed the in
activity in the Knightsbridge area
was only a lull before new German
attempt to thrust northeastward to-
ward Acroma or Tobruk, The en-
emy's use of infantry in that area
last Sunday was regarded as evi-
dence that the German armored
forces have been seriously depleted
by the incessant hammering Of
British planes and guns, and that
these elements were being conserved
for q new assault.

Order Is Nationwide.

The recent consolidation and
pooling of bus lines equipment and
schedules between Washington and
New York was worked out on vol
untary basis of an agreement be-
tween the lines and the Government.
1t is understood to be working salts
factorily. The new order, however.
is Nationwide in scope and is to be
mandatory in character.
Details of how it may affect bus
lines from Washington to the Chesa-
peake Bay areas, for instance. may
have to be worked out by the use
of Questionnaires TO determine how
much bus riding is done for business
or committing travel and how much
may be considered as pleasure
travel. The order undoubtedly
would prohibit, for instance, run
ming extra buses from Washington
on Sundays TO nearby beaches SIM
ply to carry people to a water front.
Race track service to carry racing
fans to nearby tracks would clearly
be prohibited. officials indicated.
"Intercity bus service" as defined
by the order. excludes runs within IS
miles of city limits and schedules on
which the average fare is 35 cents or
less.
The order prohibits any extension
of bus routes after July l without
special permission of ODT. Opera
tors of competing lines must plan
jointly for maximum use of equip
ment through pooling of services.
staggered schedules. exchange of
operating rights or other means,
ODT declared.
Such plans, or a statement as to
why no plans have been agreed
upon. must be submitted to ODT by
July 30.
Express service was ordered
stopped, ODT said, to release We
hicles needed in local service.

Lines Must Keep Records.

In addition, except for one daily
round trip, bus companies must dis
continue schedules which fail to
show an average load in both direc-
tions of more than 40 per cent of
the seating capacity of the buses
used. Operators are required to keep
records Of passenger miles and seat
miles and report to ODT any round
trip scheduled which fails to meet
the seating capacity requirement.
The order probably will seriously
affect race track and beach attend
ance in the Washington area. At
least three tracks-Bowie. Marlboro
and Bel Air-would have had to rely
on bus service as main transporta-
ton due to bans on special trains
and gasoline rationing.
1t was pointed out here that some
bus service from residential bayside
areas might be continued as it
would come under the heading of
committing service for workers.
Today's order, it was explained. IS

ability it will be followed by detailed
orders, which. under the war pow
ers of the Government can force
