Wartime Increcses in private employment make the agency un necessary now, be said in a letter to Major General Philip B. Flem ing, the federal works adminlstm- tor. Some individuals remain on the rolls, he added, but they can be provided for by the states and localities. Uncompleted building projects are to he taken over by other federal agencies. Death Sentence Feb. I In "many states” the death sen tence Is to become effective by February 1; in others "as soon thereafter as feasible.” The whole Is to be liquidated by June 30 at the latest, for Mr. Roose velt observed there would be no necessity for WPA appropriations for the next fiscal year, which be gins on that date. During its career, WPA spent more than $10,000,000,000, pro viding relief for some 38,000,000 people. To the end, the President stout ly defended the agency, its rec ord. and the policy which guided it. It displayed "courage and de termination in the face of unin formed criticism,” he said. It had "asked for and earned an honor able discharge.” WPA began Its existence seven years ago as the works progress administration. It was a success or to the old federal emergency relief administration. Its pro gram was rooted in the theory that it was better to make work for the jobless, than to provide them with an outright dole. V CARD OF THANKS The family of the late James W.
