Vote Delayed on $1.5 Billion Relief Measure
The Senate, tired from days of debate, again postponed a vote on the $1.5 billion relief bill to next week. Debates centered on Senator Robinsons 25 percent local share for WPA projects versus Byrnes plan for 40 percent. McAdoo argued relief is a national issue not suited to a percentage formula. California cited migratory children and tramps as factors. about 120,000 aliens could be dropped from relief under the bill.
