Aid to Low Income Groups Is a FDR Goal
President Roosevelt outlined a welfare vision at a conference with Hopkins Altmeyer and Lubin, stressing relief as part of a larger effort for the one third of Americans in want. He rejected a $100 million income goal as impractical and argued gradual tax revenue and debt reduction would support a balanced budget. Labor bill supporters such as Green and Lewis backed a five man wage hour board to regulate interstate labor, while Hillman urged a standard reflecting lower income realities.

Relief Bill Seeks Return Of Unspent Balances
The appropriation committee proposes sending unspent relief balances back to the treasury to shore up the program. Sen Adams argues this would place relief on a sound basis. Administration spokesmen warn it could hinder work projects nationwide and force removal of about 120,000 from relief rolls, adding to 500,000 Hopkins says must be cut anyway. Sen McKellar questions why policy should change after previous reappropriations since 1933.
