THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, uses it to gravel and oil 208 streets and repave 35 more. Under E. R. A. and P. W. A. the town has built everything from airports to community houses and is now engaged in con- troling its mosquitoes (as much as possible) to stifie malaria. The W. P. A. man-year cost is, believe it or not, only $387. The city has con- tributed heavily in materials to the program. No, Memphis is not worrying about W. P. A, Memphis is concerned chiefly over its experiment of exter- mination—extermination not only of mosquitoes but of those who have NOVEMBER 19, 1935. been using relief as a racket—playing Uncle Sam for a sucker! (Copyright, 1915 North American News- r Alliance.) —_ Smlll Feet Lead to Death. ‘The unusually small feet of a 62- year-old woman, who took size 1 in shoes, were stated at an inquest at Birmingham, England, to be the cause of a fall which led to her paralysis and death. Jane C. Westney, & widow, was stated by her daughter to have been in the habit of falling about, often breaking bones. Mayor Overton is so convinced of it that he has ordered all direct relief stopped and turned over to the com- munity fund. Hereafter, relief clients will go to work—or satisfy a private organiza- tion, which must sweat to raise its money by subscription, that aid really is needed. Ends Plural Registrations. Overton points out that no faker, in New York or anywhere else, can show up at three W. P. A. jobs at once, or even at two. The man who could support his family but takes relief anyway, or who wanders in from nearby Arkansas just for s change of scenery, is not the kind who would wield a shovel. If he refuses, no dough! Memphis is not worrying about W. P. A. Its quota of jobs is filled. Its shovelers are shoveling. Adminis- trator Pease and his chief engineer, G. D. Albrecht, apparently have the knack of finding foremen who can keep their men working at a fair pace. Such foremen are at a premium in some cities. Projects here are exceptional. One strips gravel pits for material. A second hauls the material. A third SAFETY DRIVE INDORSED AT CAPITOL HEIGHTS Special Dispatch to The Star.

There are thousands of border-line cases, where the answer to “Should relief be given?” is a close question. You hear stories by the basketful about relief clients refusing private jobs—usually odd jobs which would last only 2 day or two and, in some cities, disqualify them for relief— stories that grow more luscious with each telling. But Memphis officials contend that W. P. A. is exactly what was needed to weed out the “professional loafers.” FUTURE AID POLICY WORRIES CITIZENS Tax Bill St!rred Wonder on Era After W. P. A. Funds Give Out. This is the eighth of a series of articles analyzing the economic and political effects, the probable developments and early snags 0f President Roosevelt’s $4,000,000,000 job program. MEMPHIS, Tenn.,, November 16 (N. AN.A).—Most frequent, bitter and serious of all charges made by critics of Roosevelt relief policies is that un- counted scores of thousands who could support themselves if they had to, have been “living off Uncle Sam.” The story takes myriaa forms. You[ can hear it in any city. It is par- ticularly prevalent among the “upper classes,” who are alarmed by the soak-the-rich” tax bill passed by the | last Congress | It is not so much the provisions of that law, drastic &s they are, that seem to be worrying the Nation's tax- payers.
