The program will cover all fields
of training. Additional thousands
are to be re-trained to modernize
their skills or to adapt them to
new techniques in industries,
where mechanization has changed
or eliminated their old jobs.
The Training and Re-Employ
ment Division will have parity
with other divisions of the WPA
organization such as Engineering,
Community Service and Employ
ment, Mr. Hunter’s notice to Mr.
Pinckney explained, and will be
under the supervision of an
Assistant Commissioner.
Fred R. Rauch, Assistant Com
missioner formerly in charge of
the Employment Division, will
head the new Division. Mr. Rauch
has taken a leading part in de
veloping the training and re-em-
ployment program of WPA.
At present the vocational train
ing classes of WPA have an en
rollment of approximately 34,000
workers who are being fitted for
jobs in defense industry. It is ex
pected that the number of work
ers receiving training will be
steadily increased throughout the
summer. Total enrollment since
the classes started in mid-summer
of 1940 has been more than 100,-
000. Of the 66,000 no longer in
training, approximately 40,000
have found private jobs in defense
lines. Those who cannot be placed
in private industry are returned
to work on WPA projects until
private employment is available.
Mr. Rauch is now in Puerto Rico
to inspect WPA projects of impor
tance to national defense there
and in the Virgin Islands.- The
WPA program in these insula
territories is devoted largely to
defense work, with more than 22,-
000 employed on such projects in
Puerto Rico alone.
Returning to Washington by
plane June 17, Mr. Rauch will be
gin at oncejio complete the or
ganization of the Training and
Re-employment Division, with
representation on each State and
Regional WPA staff.

vacation jaunts this summer, play
a second vital role as the arteries
of a vast dollar flow from section

will spend between five and six
billion dollars for vacation tours
