Ranks Forming for Fight Over Aid Ten Jobless
Washington February 10 The presidency seeks a 250 million emergency relief appropriation that could sharpen opposition to current unemployment aid methods. House leaders expect Congress to approve the extra funds but reheat the Woodrum amendment requiring the Works Progress Administration to spread 1.5 billion across the year ending June 30. Rep Taber Republican of New York says pursuing more money now implies the law is not being observed. Rep Cochran Democrat of Missouri urges repeal of the limit, arguing unemployment conditions have changed since last spring. Senator Austin Republican of Vermont says if funds pass the administration should show policy toward relief.
