Senator King Demands Abolition of WPA Now
Senator King of Utah urged immediate abolition of the Works Progress Administration citing coercive activity in campaigns and incompetence. He proposed shifting relief funds to state oversight under Treasury custody with distribution authorized by appropriations leaders. Senator Wheeler of Montana backed a state administered relief approach, warning of a political liability in WPA and possible internal reform. Williams warned WPA funds would run dry early February without new aid as 3,000,000 on rolls and up to 10,000,000 dependents face layoffs.
