Government Economy Sought to Raise Relief Funds in 1938
Ohio lawmakers weighed blanket government cuts to free six million dollars for relief, while a separate relief loan bill faced Senate hurdles. A proposed two and a half percent deduction from about 160 treasury funds would slash departmental costs to fund operations and avoid new taxes. Dayton merchants urged quick relief action to avert credit cuts, with local governments also asked to tighten belts under a matching system.

Adjourment Hope Blocked By New Fight In Congress
Opposition among House conferees to a 212 million dollar farm parity payments appropriation creates a fresh hurdle to adjournment by Saturday. President Roosevelt’s 3.723 billion recovery bill carries the parity amendment but cannot be reconciled with Senate versions before Thursday. Rep. Clifton Woodrum warned of trouble, saying the money was not requested and should not be voted without processing taxes. Other lawmakers also object, though House leaders privately expected approval. Adjourment plans center on the wages and hours bill rather than the farm payments.
