Roosevelt Travel Expenses Probe Prompts House Action
Rep Rainey of Illinois plans to force a congressional examination of former President Roosevelt travel costs. Stockholders cite estimates of 475000 on the Southern Railway plus 120000 owed by the Pennsylvania Railroad, arguing railroads should not bear White House transport expenses. Rainey aims to move to discharge the rules committee if the measure is pigeonholed after Congress reconvenes.
