WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. (UP)
—WPA Administrator Harry L.

trade slump.
He estimated that the number
on relief now totals 1,575,000 as
compared with 1,537,430 on WPA
rolls during the week ending Dec.

York, Pennsylvania, South Dakota
and Alaska and the District of Co-
lumbia reported reductions in the
week ending Dec. 4.
Shortly before Hopkins made
his announcement, Rep. Henry T.

bill seeking an additional relief
appropriation of $500,000,000 to
care for victims of the present
business recession.
