To Investigate
Charges of WPA
Being Coerced
Charges That Political Forces at
Kansas City Were Forcing:
Voters Will Be Probed.
WASHINGTON. Mardi VV)
An investigation has hem ordered
into charges that employees on Works
Progress Administration projects in
Kansas City were being coerced by
political "bosses" it was revealed at
WPA headquarters today.
Aubrey Williams, acting WPA ad
ministrator, ordered Howard A.
Hunter, WPA assistant administrator
of the mid western region to "look
into "the Kansas City situation," it
was said.
The charges were made in affa
davits filed by Kansas City citizens
and members of labor's non-partisan
league, Williams said. They alleged
that employees on WPA projects
in the midwestern city were being
forced to vote for candidates of the
Pendergast machine in the coming
municipal elections there.
WPA officials here said "nothing
concrete" was contained in the
charges but the investigation was
ordered to clear up the situation.
Among the complaints was one
from a woman who said she feared
her brother was going to lose his job
if he did not vote the "right way."
Another was from a rroject worker
who asserted he had been warned
that he would be out of a job if he
did not vote for the Pendergast machine.
