Federal treasury to aid flood victims eyed by Coolidge
President Coolidge will open the federal treasury to fund repairs of Mississippi river levees but has not decided on Hoover’s plan to back interest and amortization on levee bonds. He delays a decision on a special flood relief session and defers action on government takeover of levee work. Senator Smoot pushes for an immediate tax cut and early session, Mondell urges Yellowstone trip and wedding plans, while crops show improving prospects for a bumper harvest.
