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.

WPA defense activities during
the past five years. 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.
