COLUMBIA, July 30.—State Re lief Administrator J. D. Fulp an nounced that South Carolina’s 46 county administrations will be con densed kite 10 district organiza tions August 1 to reduce adminis trative expenses. The announcement was made at a meeting of ERA officials here at which Fulp disclosed he had re ceived instructions from Washings ton authorizing the change. He estimated it would save approxi- mateiy $75,000 monthly in admin istrative costs. He explained that the new setup would abolish the positions of 36 county administrators and their staffs, but added that some of them probably would be placed in the district organizations. The ERA setup will be reduced as the works progress administration transfers workers from the relief to the WPA rolls, Fulp said. “If all the WPA projects submit ted to Washington received approv al,” he. asserted, “they will not re quire the services of more than one-third of the relief clients now on ERA rolls. The ERA has a long er future than is generally con ceded it.” The New Set-Up Fulp announced the new set-up as follows: A district with headquarters at Greenville and A. M.
