Merger plan defended amid Senate hearings on CAA reorg
Budget Director Harold D Smith defended moving Civil Aeronautics Authority into the commerce department. He said the plan would reduce functional confusion while preserving independent investigations. The plan would abolish the air safety board and shift duties to the Civil Aeronautics Board.

Senator King argued for bi metal monetary policy. A House subcommittee approved a 975 million WPA appropriation for July through eight months.
