You Should Have... “SPRING DRESSES for your WINDOWS” Washington, March 31. — The work projects administration an-^ nounced today that approximately! 700,000 persons would be dropped from its rolls within the next three months. Col. F. C. Harrington, WPA commissioner, said the cuts were necessary to keep work-relief within the expenditures authorized by con gress. He said the reductions would be niade gradually to cushion the shock to local relief organizations. The Ap ril curtailment, he said, probably would not exceed 200,000. Enrollment stood at 2,311,500 on March 20 Officials said they expected to work it down to about 1,500,000 by June 30. The forthcoming reductions, they said, will be comparatively drastic because WPA has been carrying I through the last few months almost as many relief workers as it carried during the 1938-39 fiscal year when it had an appropriatibn of $2,225,- 000,000. Congress made only $1,- 477,000,000 available for the 1939- 40 fiscal year which ends next June 30. Harrington said the first step in reducing the rolls would be to dis miss WPA workers on each current project as it is finished. Next, he said, WPA would eliminate the least needed projects. ^ NOTICE i said they still had $329,- This is to certify that J. G.
