(AP) The works progress administration facing the task of cutting at :east 525.000 persons from Its relief rolls next year, already has started re trenchment Intended to make Its funds go farther In employing work ers. Officials said today that state WPA dl roc tors have been instructed to make communities meet a larger part ol the cost of materials used on relief projects. Some more prosperous communities now are paying for all supplies used on their projects, and the proportion of non-labor costs met by other com munities Is being adjusted to their ability to pay. The question of how the govern ment should spend for relief In the year beginning July 1 Is now before congress. Rep. Woodrum (D-Va.), an econ omy advocate, has proposed that 9 1 ,000,000.000 be allotted, but the house appropriations committee voted yesterday to seek an additional $M0. 000,000. President Roosevelt estimat ed the larger amount would be needed. Harry L. Hopkins, works progress administrator, told a subcommittee that the administration's program for dropping 835,000 persons from WPA tolls would be successful only If pri vate Industry could hire those dis missed from government projects. He said the WPA lay-offs would occur, however, only "If business con ditions Improve sufficiently." An average of 1,730,000 persons could be Klvon Jobs throughout the year under the administration program) The WPA reportod today that "all but 3.7 per cent of the employes on the works progress administration rolls ax of April 24 were persons certi fied as In need of relief." The. 10 per cent limit for non relief employment, It said, never was epproached In actual practice. GENEVA STET HOME IS BOUGHT BY Walter W. Abbey, automobile dis tributor, has purchased from John C.

(AP) -A federal financial authority declared today official fears of Inflation have subsided at least for the time being.

May 14. (AP) The British admiralty officially announc ed today eight men were killed aboard the destroyer Hunter yesterday when It was rocked by an explosion just off the government-held city of Al merla on the southern Spanish coast. Despite the Insistence of Spanish government sources at Valencia and Aimer la that the blast was caused by an attack from "a German sub marine." a. floating mine laid during the months old Spanish civil war was understood to have been defin itely established as the cause of the disaster. The official announcement came as the admiralty launched an Investiga tlon at Aimer J a to determine who laid the mine and fix responsibility for what observers believed would be a stern protest. Twenty other members of the crew of the warship were Injured, some of them seriously, by tho shattering explosion which ripped open the Hunter's bows in mid-afternoon. Dispatches from Gibraltar said the destroyer, .one of Britain's newest men-of-war. was on duty as a unit of the International "hands off Spain" patrol when she struck the floating mine about four miles olf the southeastern corner of Spal n where It Juts out Into the Mediterranean.
