WPA Administrator Francis C. Harrington declared last week. ■will become necessary after April 1. WPA rolls will be maintained at approximately their present level of 3,000,000 persons. He also declared that relief hence forth would be divorced from po litics and asserted the white-col la« projects would be continued. The contemplated reduction in relief rolls is expected to work a severe hardship upon colored job less who through inability to ob tain private employment and low economic status are obtaining work and direct relief out of proportion to their percentage of the popu lation. They are expected to. be especially hard hit in the South, where it is not likely that Negroes will get any share of the WPA jobs where they are many needy whites. - Colordo Springs Woman Pens Article for Atlantic Monthly Colorado Springs, Feb.. ?3 (By A.

AUDIENCES WILL NOT SEE A MOVIE TYPE NEWSHAWK BUT POLISHED SPEAKER Omaha, Nefcr., Feb. 23-—When H. V. Kaltenborn, the author, au thority on world affairs and radio nows commentator appears in Om aha, March 20 for a lecture on world affairs at Technical high school’s auditorium, the audiences will not see a movie type news hawk. Instead they will see and hear a polished speaker and America’s shrewdest news commentator. Ev- j er since his student days at Har vard, Mr. Kaltenborn has been win ning honors because of his speak ing ability. As associate editor of the Brook lyn Eagle. Mr. Kaltenborn in the early days of radio packed that pa ner’s auditorium each week a8 he lectured on current events. It was his ability to attract large crowds at these lectures which re sulted in Mr. Kaltenborn’s stepping into radio in 1922. Typical of newshawks, who have advanced far in Che journalism pro fession, Mr. Kaltenborn still con siders himself as a reporter. The acclaim Mr. Kaltenborn re ceived after his war crisis broad cast last fall was shocking to him. “Why I have been doing the samo sort of reporting for years”, ho said as letters, telegrams, med als, and syecial citat'ons flooded his New York home. He says his broadcast in 1936 at the Spanish war front to him was far more sepctacular than his cris is broadcast whieh won him so many special honors. For Ms broadcast of the Spanish war which was the first actual war to be carried on the airlines to this country, Mr, Kaltenborn crouched for nine hours in a bullet-pierced haystack between the two armies waiting word that his connection had been completed for the broad cast. His words were punctuated with artillery fire as his descrip tion of the battle was carried into American homes. Ml*. Kaltenborn, who Is being brought to Omaha for March 20 lecture at Tedh high School by the Omaha Post of the American le gion, just recently became assi«V hnt editor and foreign news advis or for the Pathe Ncwb. He will continue his broadcasting services a8 news commentator for the Col umbia Broadcasting System with whom he has been associated for more than 10 years.
