Roosevelt car Trust faces battle over public works outlay
The Roosevelt car Trust sides with Douglas on spending the full 3.3 billion for public works, opposing the budget curtailment urged by the Budget director. The piece also notes the waning influence of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and its shift toward Treasury dictates led by Dean Acheson aide Tommy Corcoran. It mentions union drive under the Industrial Recovery Act, John Lewis’s surge in UMW enrollment, and Senate probing of Pennroad stock deals with Taplin.
