Kraschel Urges Solid Backing for New Deal in Iowa
Iowa Lieutenant Governor Nelson Kraschel urged Democratic women in Omaha to unite behind Roosevelt's New Deal. He touted $323,753,000 in cash benefits to Iowa residents since 1933, cited farm income gains of $269,677,000, and cited relief funds and CCC and PWA aid as proof of the program's success. He called Dickinson's criticisms unfounded and urged stronger AAA amendments. Kraschel's remarks hint at a possible 1937 Senate bid.
