It scored a second time by defying his executive order to put 33.000 spa administrative employees under civil service and providing that no Relief funds be use i to pay them. Although the full appropriations committee expected to meet today has authority to reject the subcommittees recommendations. It usually accepts its proposals. If such is the Case. House leaders plan to bring the Bill to the floor thursday and seek a final vote Friday. Despite the sub committee s defy. Or. Roosevelt was Quick with a counter thrust. Shortly after the committees action he was asked at his press conference to comment on the $150 000.000 Cut. He invited news men to find out How Many Relief workers would have to be drop be 1 if Congress insists on the reduced appropriation. He said he had to think in terms of human lives. Col. F.

The Long Range task of working out a permanent Relief policy was resumed by the Senate committee on unemployment and Relief headed by sen. James f. Byrnes a. S. This committee is considering a four Point program 1. A formula for distribution of Relief funds. Byrnes favors allocation on a straight population basis a method to which others object because of the belief that state unemployment and living costs must be weighed. 2. Coordination of the unemployment services of the labor department and the social Security Board not Only to furnish private Enterprise with workers but to provide a constant Check on unemployment. 3. Coordination of All agencies handling Relief work and Security programs. 4. Standardization of unemployment compensation to provide a minimum pay during Layoff byrncs favors shortening the period which now averages six weeks before a worker thrown out of a Job May draw unemployment compensation. The House committees action in seeking to prevent application of civil service Laws to spa administrative employees also is part of a Long Range program designed to insulate Relief against politics.
