Bill to Establish Assay Office Here Is Favored
Washington reports the senate mines and mining committee backed Senator Wheeler's bill to reestablish an assay office at Helena Montana despite treasury objections. It notes Denver as nearest market and Montana gold output rising from 67828 ounces in 1903 to 205813 in 1938, arguing fees from melting and testing would cover costs. The treasury argued minor assay offices were no longer needed, with Helena Salt Lake City and Boise offices closed in 1933.

Senate Would Keep All Restrictions on WPA Proposals
Washington reports say influential Senate appropriations members expect the committee to favor continuation of WPA restrictions. An anonymous administration supporter notes strong sentiment to reverse House actions discharging relief rolls after five months and to eliminate sections allowing WPA jobs for aliens while preserving civil service rules. Senate leaders anticipate voting the $886,000,000 WPA appropriation as requested, with Republicans likely to back the budget figure. Hearings on relief begin soon, while the Army’s $1,055,655,187 portion awaits action and a House-pushed provision on using funds to pay those defying National Mediation Board orders remains awkward due to scope.
