Last Project: WPA Buries Itself

NEA staff correspondent James Thrash er reports the Works Progress Administration has folded with little fanfare. By June 30 eight years after its start the WPA payroll will dwindle to about five thousand, and no projects operate in the continental United States since May 4. The agency has spent about 13 billion dollars, with 8.5 million workers listed over its life, contributing to soil conservation, flood control, libraries, schools, hospitals, and war prep. The dissolution follows wartime manpower shifts, as millions return to private employment and WPA property and funds are settled with the government.
