Staff Correspondent Washington. (U.PJ Works Projects Commissioner F. C. Harrington predicts that WPA workers will build as many WPA-sponsored defense projects during the 1941 fiscal year as were constructed by WPA labor during the last five years. "One hundred thousand men were employed on projects of a national defense nature in June" Harrington said. "We plan to ! have five or six times that many at work on preparedness pro jects by fall, and the defense accomplishments of the WPA in the single fiscal year just begun should approach the total of the five preceding years. 3-Year Work Cited "The barracks, airports, arm ories, garages, utilities and other defense facilities provided this country by men who otherwise would have been idle now emerge as an important founda tion for the intense period of training and material prepara tion ahead- In this work of pre paredness the WPA is now mul tiplying its already substantial efforts." During the past five years, he said, the WPA has constructed or improved 12,000 military and naval buildings and 500 landing fields. These and other national defense undertakings represent an investment of $346,689,000 in federal, state and local funds from the inception of the WPA in July, 1935. to June 1. 1940. Approximately 85 per cent of all airport construction during the period was done by WPA labor.

He listed items in two major classifica tions projects sponsored by the war and navy departments and coast guard and operated by the WPA at the reservations or sta tions of these agencies: and air port, airway and national guard projects sponsored by state and local government agencies and operated by the WPA. A large amount of work not included in his summary was conducted under a third classifi cation federal projects which are operated by the army, navy and coast guard under WPA em ployment regulations and fi nanced by funds transferred from WPA. Federal projects ac counted for 39.650 of the 99.433 persons at work on defense pro jects on June 12. Harrington added that the scope of WPA defense work is not confined to those three spe cific categories. kotas, adjacent to the high rate McDonald, 57 states, were the safest in the na-1 butcher, just tion with North Dakota having: a 48.0 rate and its sister state 52 9 accidental deaths per 100, 000 population. Automobile casualties and falls are the greatest cause of death, resulting in 62 per cent of the 93,000 toll in 1939. Auto deaths occurred most frequently ov.r week-ends, three-eighths of the total motor deaths taking place on Saturdays and Sundays, while the council's records showed that more fatal accidents occurred in rural areas (19,300) than in the more crowded towns and cities (13,000). Driving at excessive speeds and on the wrong side of the road were the two greatest causes of fatal motor accidents. the council found. More than 12,000 of the deaths due to mo tor vehicles were pedestrian fatalities. Picking a Career Longvlew, Wash. lP) N.
