Governors Demand Continued WPA Aid At White House Lunch
Wisconsin Governor Philip La Follette joined five other governors at a White House luncheon to press for a continued WPA program without curtailment. He warned a proposed cut would raise Wisconsin relief costs by 20 percent and push 132,000 job seekers plus 50,000 WPA workers toward greater hardship. The group urged relief be kept for distressed employables as Hopkins outlined federal roll reductions.

British Taxpayer Must Dig Deeper This Year
A London dispatch reports Britain plans a seven and a half billion earmarked defense program. It would raise taxes for higher incomes by about 1.2 percent and curb private industry orders for three years as steel and other supplies are diverted to defense. Sir Thomas Inskip urges some orders be delayed to prioritize government work. Taxpayers face higher rates, with a baseline of 198 for every 5 earned dollars, affecting single and married earners differently amid wartime austerity.
