Pennsylvania relief at standstill as funds run out
Pennsylvania faced stalled relief efforts with funds exhausted and a legislative deadlock over 500 000 unemployed. A Senate plan sought 35 million for relief to January 1 while Democrats urged 55 million. A House bill passed to provide 55 million, hoping to trigger a conference settle. Also a federal judge halted a WPA inquiry, ruling it an invasion of federal powers. Emergency relief chief said aid could resume on short notice once funds are provided.
