Hopkins sets WPA as federal plan with no local match
The proposal envisions a strictly federal undertaking avoiding local contributions, with regions of poverty where states have exhausted resources. Hopkins pitched to congressmen in private meetings, drawing favorable notes. He heads to Florida for a two week vacation as talks continue about a $4 trillion annual WPA budget to create over six million jobs, though analysts warn job losses may fall to three to five million at recovery peak.
