Communities Urged to Sponsor WPA Projects in Pa
Corry municipal and school authorities may back new WPA projects at the state admin in charge of the works program as Pennsylvania faces a federal WPA cutback far larger than the 17 percent appropriation reduction by Congress. Acting State Administrator B C Smith urges sponsors to provide funds and property to keep the program alive, noting that nonstate and nonfederal sponsors now fund less than half the WPA in Pennsylvania. He expects WPA employment to drop about 25 percent, from 236,000 to around 175,000 by mid April if sponsorship fails.
