Relief funds spark division as House debates 1.5B target
Washington April 21 The Roosevelt administration faces strenuous opposition from two groups seeking far larger relief appropriations than the 1.5 billion proposed. Rep Maverick of Texas and Rep Boileau of Wisconsin push for 2.4 to 3.0 billion, while administration leaders vow to block larger bills and may allow withholding of unnecessary department appropriations. The WPA warns unemployment will stay high, possibly 4 million, even with prosperity. The Senate faces a test on a 1 billion five year educational aid bill, backed by Harrison, as Roosevelt notes unused funds could fund housing or farm help.
