Golob, execu- tive secretary of the Cambria County Department of Public Assistance. Not only does the new order pro- hibit relief for employable persons but the new regulations were seen as a threat to future work relief pro- grams. Developments were: 1—The State Department of Public Assistance ordered discontinuance of direct relief to all employable persons on the rolls, estimated at only 9,500 out of a total load of 99,000 in Pennsylvania. The federal WPA program, which has been losing employees at a rate of about 1,000 weekly, was threat- ened with further drastic curtail- ment because of War Production Board limitations on highway con- struction projects. Golob stated that the number of | employables in Cambria County re- ceiving direct relief was less than 100 last week. He explained that the practice in'Cambria County for some time has been to grant relief to em- ployables only after the county board was satisfied that the applicant had exhausted every means of obtaining work. The new rule prohibits the granting of relief regardless of the ability to gain employment, it was pointed out. Golob explained that hereafter the county board will make a specific review of each individual case and will endeavor wherever pos- sible to obtain employment for all | applicants. 0 | Need for coal miners has reduced the list of employables on relief, it | was pointed out. The WPB two weeks | ago stopped construction on all state highway jobs not under way before April 9th. The order applies equally to contract jobs and work relief pro- | Jects and restricts the department to maintenance and construction jobs { for which priorities can be obtained.
