Is voting to Investigate the senate T'hat this needs to be done is clear from the reeord Congress put politics into W P A first by requiring sepate confirmation for state V P A administrators second by turning control of local intake of flies over to local county and municipal officials and third by resisting all efforts to keep politics out of relief and voting down the Hati h amendment to require W P A officials to abide by the civil service rules As a( result of these on political activity green lights W P A was converted into a local political racket in at least 12 states of the union More important than this aspect of VV P A is the need to develop a new pattern for relirf If economy is the object there can be no doubt that a weeklv dole wWild be cheaper than work-reliBy the same token to finance on a national scale self help cooperation would be cheaper still In Washington D C the bureau operates nt a net cash cost of $100 per man pi r year This is much less money than any direct relief or work-rclisystem would cost However the Roosevelt administration decided that W P A would serve two purposes which could not be handled by the self help It would supply the country as cooperatives a whole with a wide variety of necessary and desirable public works nnd it would serve to reinforce nnd subsidize private business Certainly W P A served its purpose and worked well until the politicians began to chisel on it If there is now to be a retreat from the spending policies of which the W P A'pro-grawas outstanding it must be in the direction of a cash dole and

customary to hang a picture over the center of something such as a mantel table chest of drawers or bookcase Gauge the center of the object with your eye This saves the trouble of hunting up a
