The city council plans use of funds for relief and unemployment programs as crowds in Paris and plans for war loom, while American life shifts from coast safety to tax shifts and farm sales in Iowa.

Denunciation of Private Power Codes Moves at Hearing
A public denouncement of the private power industry and its leaders was delivered to the recovery administration by a spokesman for Secretary Ickes and the federal power commission.
