Vets Exempt From New WPA Slash Order
United States war veterans with honorable discharge papers remain exempt from the 18 months clause of the Works Progress Administration, per WPA branch manager Guy Cleaver who said no removal will occur for veterans with long WPA employment. Cleaver noted a likely clerical error may have misclassified many veterans, and those idle due to dismissal will have a chance to reclaim their positions by presenting veterans’ discharge papers.
