Roosevelt Signs Wide Range Bills Before Departure
President Roosevelt signed three major measures before leaving for New England. The loans to industry act authorizes up to 580 million dollars for five year advances, with the Reconstruction Finance Corporation lending directly to industry and to schools and drainage districts. The second deficiency bill provides 2.63 billion for relief, public works, and near end-of-year needs. The communications bill creates a seven member commission to regulate interstate wire and facilities, supersede the radio commission, ban interlocking directorates, and study further reforms.
