Administration Without Emergency Funds As Congress In Deadlock
Washington July 1 A Congressional log jam left President Roosevelt without emergency funds for the first time in three years forcing many war agencies to operate on the cuff. Both Senate and House aimed to start the new fiscal year with 490000000 for emergencies but a deadlock over salaries for three federal workers blocked passage of the bill. Other major measures were stranded as Congress recessed after an futile bid to finish by midnight. Only a 715000000000 war supply bill cleared.
