wasteful practices but. wherever
necessary and advantageous, 20

If effectively carried through,
said Byrnes, such a program could

of some essential civilian goods.
"Such program he said,

Mayor
Urged to
End WPA

Elimination OF WPA In Detroit
so the 3,601 on the rolls can be
absorbed into private industry now
short of labor was recommended
to Mayor Edward J. Jeffries TODAY
by John T. Ballenger, welfare
superintendent. Max r. Barton.
WPA co-ordinator and other city
officials.
Ballenger said:
ut Ii hard to defend the call
Ing In of women and outsiders
to work In war plants when we
still have capable men on WPA."
The group recommended that
WPA projects essential to the war
such as the tearing up of unused
street car tracks, should be con-
tinued by private contractors pay
ing prevailing wages. Nonessential
WPA projects should be discon-
tinued, they recommended.
AS the mayor took the recon-.
mendations under advisement. he
commented that I'VE are evidently
at a point where we no longer
need WPA." He said he might
recommend to council that IL be
abolished although he'd like to
study the matter further first.
Ballenger stated that about 10
per cent of those dropped from
WPA 60 on welfare. But he said
he thinks he can find jobs for
most of them in private industry.
The city is now paying S31 900 a
month toward WPA projects.
