Harrisburg reports that Works Progress Administration officials expect a near total purge of WPA jobs in Pennsylvania by January 1. State headquarters warned immediate reductions of 25 percent in administrative staff and 5 percent in project workers, with hundreds of thousands of positions cut nationwide as funds dwindle. In the opening antler season, a 16-year-old Warren youth died from a stray bullet, another hunter suffered heart trouble, and several others were injured in hunting incidents across the state.
