Ln EER. RRS 2 H Thursday, April 20, 1939. DAVID JENKINS, WPA AREA] NO CAR—NO WORK HEAD IS TRANSFERRED Presaging what would seem to be a policy of shifting division heads from district to district, David M. Jenkins, supervisor of the division of unem- ployment for WPA Area 11, will be moved to WPA Area 16, with head- quarters at Uniontown, it was learned last week. The transfer, which become effec- tive on Monday, will bring to Area 11 as supervisor of the division of un- employment Horace Culbertson, now serving in that capacity in Area 16, which comprises Fayette, Greene, and Washington Counties. No definite reason for the transfer could be ascertained at the Johnstown WPA offices, inquiries along the line being met with the reply that infor- mation would have to be obtained from the state office where it was saia, the orders for the transfer origi- nated. Jenkins, until a comparatively recent period, had been under fire, particu- larly from several WPA union organ- izations. They charged that Jenkins wae formulating his own procedure as to who should work and who should not work on the federal program and on several occasions demanded his re- moval. The charges never were sub- stantiated. insofar as can be ascer- tained. Jenkins, a former head of the State Employment Office in Cambria Coun- ty, became affiliated with the Works Progress Administration on December 1, 1935, when he was named assistant | ployment. supervisor in the division of employ- ment. When Walker Mong of Somer- set resigned his post as head of that division in November, 1936, Jenkins was elevated to the position he now hclds. The employment division chief, who resides at 338 Cypress Avenue, Mox- ham, Johnstown, is the third division supervisor to leave the Johnstown WPA office within the past month. On March 20, Fred J. Hogan of Spangler submitted his resignation ‘as super- visorof the division of operations and Norman J. Harris of Ferndale, John- stown, was ousted from his post as supervisor of the division of finance. James Higgins of Greensburg was transferred to the Johnstown offices to fill the operations division vacancy and Frank B. McAneny, former Johns. Greensburg to take the finance de- partment supervisorship. Although no definite statements were forthcoming on the matter, it was indicated that the state WPA office is launching a policy of moving area division heads into other offices from time to time. Some sources said the policy is being adopted in the inter- ests of greater efficiency and others saw in it a link to the recently-voted congressional investigation of the re- lief works program. In refutation of the latter view, how- ever, it was pointed out that congress- ional investigators could subpena the transferred men at any time and order them to report at any given place. Rumors were current in some quarters that federal investigators are now, or will be this week, in Area 11, which comprises Cambria, Somerset, Bed- ford and Blair Counties. COMPENSATION ASKED IN DEATH OF UNION LEADER A compensation referee was told last Wednesday that Murphy Kush, United Mine Workers Organizer whose death occured the morning after the November election last year, died in the official performance of duty. Referee Arthur H. Schrager of Potts- ville took testimony at the Y. M. C. A. in the claim of Kush's widow, Mrs. Matilda Kush, who seeks full com- pensation for herself and two minor children. Witnesses said Kush spent Election Day, November 8, visiting polling pla- ces, talking with miners, and assem- bling information for the U. M. W. A. compensation office. According to the testimony, Kush had an appointment with J. W. Ste- phenson, district compensation ad- justor, at 11 p. m. November 8. Ste- phenson said Kush appeared on time and discussed compensation cases with The testimony was designed to prove CHAMPION ANGLER Winner of the La Jolla, Calif.,| ninth annual women’s salt water fishing derby was Miss Doris Holo- | mon, La Jolla socialite.

Stephenson also testified he instruc- ted Kush to stop at the home of Jo- seph Feist, Conemaugh, also an or- ganizer, and tell the latter to appear in the compensation office in the First National Bank Building that Kush was on duty when he died at Feiss home early November 9. Witnesses said Kush complained that he “didn’t feel well” and asked Feist | to drive to downtown Johnstown to pick up a mutual friend, one Al Cu- pola of Parkhill. When Feist returned to his home found Kush on the floor. James Hoy and John Standa, friends of both Kush and Feist were with Kush when the latter, leaning against a wall, slumped to the floor. Atorney Robert Anthony, councel for the state Com- pensation Fund, admited the circum- stances surrounding Kush's death, eli- timony on several points. It was also stated that Kush, en- route from Stephenson’s office, stopped to repair a flat tire on his car. Pos- sessing no jack, with which to raise the car to remove the tire, Kush and a companion attempted to lift the au- tomobile, it was testified. $282,806,681 IN SECURITIES HELD IN STATE VAULT | - Harrisburg hind successive barriers of electric alarms, tear gas batteries, and bullet proof glass— concrete vault of the State Treasury here — are securities owned by the Commonwealth, or deposited with it in the conduct of its business, am- ounting to $282,806,681. Recent inventory or *:=se securities by State Treasurer F. Clair Ross shows | 62 millions plus held as collateral of the 660 banks which thus qualify as State depositories; and 12 millions posted with various departments of the | State Government as faithful perfor- mance bonds. Heading the state-owned securities are almost $163,000,000 worth of the School Employes Retirement Fund. Next in order is the State Employes’ | THE UNION PRESS-COURIER | BILL WOULD OUTLAW in the gigantic steel and | Retirement Fund with nearly $20,000- | 000: and the State Workmen's Insur- ance Fund with a little over $12,000, | 000. Bank collateral is held for 10 banks | in which active deposits of the State | are maintained; and the 650 banks which are used as inactive de- positories. Each depository is required to post eith a 100 percent surety bond, or Federal or State securities to the ex- tent of 120 percent of the amount of funds in that institution. These de- posits, Treasurer Ross points out, earn the Commonwealth approximately $300,000 per year on the basis of one percent interest. Nine different departments of the State government are protected by the 12 million dollars’ worth of securities held as faithful performance bends. Heading this list, with more than 10 millions on hand, is the Insurance Department which requires this guar- antee to protect Pennsylvania policy holders in the event of company fail- ures. More than $600,000 is held for the Milk Control Commission. This is rep- resented by securities deposited by milk dealers to guarantee payment to farmer-producers. Half a million dollars is held for the Banking Department as collateral de- posited to guarantee solvency of pri- vate banks in the State Gasoline pro- ducers deposit nearly $400,000 with the Department of Revenue to insure pay- ment of gasoline taxes as required by law.
