FERA Rolls Will Be Purged Of Relief Drones ♦ Time Come To Decide Fate Of Jobless Administrator Hopkins Order* Ac tion to Determine Disposition of Thousands of Families. WASHINGTON, July 18. — The federal relief rolls in North Caro lina are to be studied at once and purged of every person who is able to work. It was stated today at the offices of the Federal emer gency Relief administration. In sending orders to various state directors of federal relief, It was said at the office of Administrator Hopkins, that it was regarded that the time had arrived at which the administration should determine as a finality the future of thousands of cases which have been carried from month to month for the cole reason that the recipient of relief had no work. In order to.get the relief rolls down to s basis whereby only aged, helpless, widows and orphans and Incapacitated who have no means of maintenance, remain on the rolls, Mrs. Thomas O’Berry, North Caro lina director. Is to comb the rolls thoroughly and eliminate every per son possible. Seek Self-Support The reason for this move Is that It is thought that with millions of dollars pouring Into North Caro lina on highway and public works projects, that people who are able to work should be shifted to gov ernment work, so that they may be self-supporting. »Thls plan was pointed to as one of the chief activities of the allot ments by the Public Works admin istration under the recovery act without their being able to draw people able to perform manual labor from the relief rolls, the purpose would be defeated. Jn connection with the work of Mrs. 03erry as a state director, it was pointed to as among the best In the country. General Average For lnstanoe, the general average over the United States to administ er relief has been round to he 8.8 per cent whereas in North Carolina It la only 8.7 per cent, or far below that In a number of states. This low administration figure In North Carolina was said to be due to the careful administration of Mrs. O’ Berry and her ability to shift many people who were on the relief rolls Into administrative jobs. The large number of persons on the Tar Heel relief rolls have been taken Into consideration by the P WA In making allotments for pro jects In the state, and with the ex pectation that every person able to work will be given employment.
