Government economy clashes with New Deal spending
In Washington two major setbacks hit President Roosevelts policy drive. The House cut 500 million dollars from a 1.5 billion relief request and limited the civilian conservation corps to a two year life. Senate opposition blocked a 40 million dollar TVA fund to continue existing projects and start a Gilbertsville dam. Interior appropriations were trimmed and Democrats pushed to earmark 35 million for public works relief. The Gilbertsville dam faced rejection, then revival in a Senate committee.
