Priming the Pump Called Necessary by AFL Chief
William Green, head of the American Federation of Labor, told a House appropriations subcommittee that a federal spending lending program is necessary due to unemployment rising from 7.5 million last September to 11.2 million. He endorsed the President's plan while Senator Glass opposed depleting treasury funds. Fiorello LaGuardia urged a permanent summer study and a bill by October, but supported the current $4.512 billion lending program to start most WPA projects and allow city expansions if terms are met.
