Jan. 24.�? it up it a the Senate began considering the deficiency Relief appropriation Bill today and vice president John Nance Garner was the key figure in the fight among conservative and new Deal democrats Over the $725,01 0.000 figure set by the House and by the Senate appropriations committee. Leaders of the democratic Economy bloc expected Garner to furnish the behind the scenes strategy to Block administration efforts to in Rease the appropriations to the $875,000,000 requested by president Roosevelt. A the Bill As it comes from appropriations committee practically invites the president to ask for additional funds in the event of an emergency a he said. A the already has announced that $725,000.000 will not be sufficient. I see no reason to take two bites at this the Economy bloc hoped to weaken its opposition by pushing the emergency provision and a restriction against drastic reduction of Relief Rolls during the Winter. Members of the appropriations committee who voted 17 to 7 for the House figure said in a report to the Senate that they had a carefully protected against any Radical reduction in Relief Rolls during the Winter months by stating that not to exceed five per cent of employees on Relief shall be separated from their employment prior to april 1.�?� they contended that on the basis of a Relief Load of1.000.000 persons not More than 150.000 could be Cut off a luring february and March and that that would destroy the arguments of senators who protested that the smaller appropriation would a work great hardship on Large numbers of Relief workers. Restrictions against political activity among Relief officials and employees were written into the Bill by the appropriations committee. But administration leaders Bdie ved that separate legislation should be enacted to cover the subject. Because the works Progress administration Treasury will be empty by february 7, they Felt Speed was essential and that attempts to revise the entire Relief setup should await further study. The proposed legislation Barkley said will be in the form of amendments to the Federal corrupt practices act. These amendments will it f ont Simril ii Pun two i noted lecturer to appear mrs.
