Congress backs Blanton in D. C. appropriation cut
The House approved a Blanton bill to cut the federal share for District expenses to 2.7 million dollars for the year starting July 1, signaling the possible death of the 1937 District supply bill. Senate conferees want 5.7 million, while a continuing resolution would carry current expenses. Blanton tied the fight to a clash over outside work limits and school funds.
