Roosevelt shifts more job relief to local groups
Washington December 28 President Roosevelt announced full responsibility for caring for all needy unemployed beyond 3 500 000 on federal work relief now rests with local governments and private charity. He said the WPA fund could cover only 2 500 000 and others must be met locally. He cited winter conditions and Hopkins notes of adverse effects on relief rolls and noted 9 000 000 people had found work since spring 1935 in reported industries, with more likely in agriculture and nonreporting sectors. Official figures differ from earlier social security estimates of 5 000 000 new jobs since 1933.
