Sales tax plan stalled amid House delay
Lawmakers debated reconsideration of a general sales tax bill as Rep. Hodges led a vote to reconvene and form a substitute revenue bill. A seven member revenue committee was named to draft the substitute and report next Tuesday, while administration leaders cautioned against curbing a general sales tax. The House adjourned to 10 am Tuesday with several bills introduced, including a bill to permit circuit judges to suspend sentences and a measure to raise dog license fees under the 1930s anti-tables act.

Relief Parley Aims At Relief Funding And Housing Plan
Washington March 1 President Roosevelt faced questions of politics surrounding WPA charges as relief and a new housing program dominated White House talks. He said aid figures for July to June would be drafted for Congress and delivered before his Thursday departure for Florida. Pending action on housing remained uncertain as Treasury Fed and housing agencies discussed proposals. Speaker Byrnes told Congress to finish work by May 1 with tax to follow, hoping relief funding would be feasible though impeachment debates loomed. Roosevelt favored negotiating a Canadian St Lawrence treaty but would not seek Senate ratification this year.
