Malaria Control Is Newest Name For Drainage Projects
The National Resources Committee lists WPA Malaria Control projects costing 79 million dollars across 33 states through April 1, with seven states showing 28 malaria cases and no deaths in 1934. The More Game Birds Foundation accuses the program of masking drainage aims, noting 17 million acres drained and citing Florida, Alabama, California, Georgia, Louisiana, and other states with high death counts. Maine receives 11.3 million for malaria control despite only one fatal case in 1934, prompting warnings that drainage continues under a new label.
