Senate Fight Brews Over Relief Funds
A defic icy appropriation bill totaling 934 million dollars with provisions wiping out the subsistence homestead division of the resettlement administration was favorably reported by the full senate appropriations committee. The measure carries 825 million for relief, versus 790 million approved by the house. Four separate attacks on the bill emerged, including opposition to a house ban on WPA workers on congressional inquiries, a push to raise relief to 1.2 billion, a plan to apportion funds to states locally, and support for rural resettlement. Flood areas along the Ohio and Mississippi valleys figure in the debate, while a flood relief fund drive in St Louis and elsewhere accumulates funds and aid networks. Disaster relief totals nationally reach about 4.34 million dollars as fundraising continues.
