- WRAWORKLS REAGES B35 Hopkins Says Providing Work Projects Is Easy. | C. C. C. Lists Will Double. By the Associated Press. The rolls of Harry L. Hopkins' Works Progress Administration today listed the names of 837,563 relief workers. The administrator, who included 519,122 Civilian Conservation Corps workers in the total, said the figures indicated that “Providing works proj- ects isn't any problem.” The C. C. C. enrollment now is being doubled from 800,000. The figures show that 35,000 more men have gone to work in the last two weeks under the W. P. A. The Jobs have been provided from $320.- 000,000 released by the Treasury after approval by the controller general and the budget director out of the $593,- 000,000 allotted by President Roose- velt. Hopkins reasserted his intention to provide 3,500,000 jobs by November 1. He said that by September 12, when all P. W. A. and W. P. A. applications must be submitted. the W. P. A. @ would have applications amounting to $2,500,000,000, instead of the present $1,800,000,000. As Hopkins made his announcement of increases in the enroliment, Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of the Bureau of Public Roads, said that labor re- quirements in one relief activity—the | $200,000,000 grade crossing elimina- tion program—would be relaxed be- cause of administrative difficulties.
