Pine Bluff pushes for No. 3 route to Bradley over No. 29
The Pine Bluff Chamber urges the State Highway Commission to upgrade No. 29 from Hope to the Louisiana line and favor No. 3 Memphis-Pine Bluff-Camden through woods to Bradley as a new shorter route to Shreveport. It argues No. 29 should be improved with substantial surfacing, not built anew through a wilderness, and cites existing paved connections and traffic counts to support concentrating on the Memphis-Shreveport corridor via No. 29 and No. 70/HT.

The New Deal in Washington by Rodney Dutcher
In Washington the secretary Ickes faces strong opposition from foes who want to impeach him while Roosevelt resists. The row centers on control of the $4 billion public works fund and congressional envy for pork. The clash reveals a broad spectrum of New Deal critics, from ardent enemies to those merely cowed by bad company.

Social Security Bill advances in House and relief fight looms
The House Ways and Means Committee finished hearings on the social security program and will draft the final bill by Monday. Congress seeks quick approval for a 144 billion dollar HOLC and 50 thousand dollar insurance increases, all in one bill. The public relief fight centers on a prevailing wage amendment to the work relief bill, with Democrats pledging to force reconsideration. The administration argues the move undermines Roosevelt’s plan to remove millions from relief rolls and push them toward private employment. The debate spans funding shifts, wage costs, and the pace of disbursement as relief programs face deadlines.

Arkansas Lawmakers Briefly Take Up Welfare Board Nominees
In Little Rock the Legislature moved a welfare board bill to the governor and named 11 nominees for board seats though names were not disclosed yet. The Senate met in session while the House, delaying votes, prepared for Saturday action after earlier executive sessions. A reported bargain would let the Senate concede minor amendments to the welfare bill and permit confirmation of board members. Other measures included a liquor monopoly proposal and a tax-forfeited land certificate rule tied to the University of Arkansas College of Agriculture, plus Senate approval to limit pensions for fire department workers and to clear legal obstacles to title transfers on tax-forfeited lands.
