Road River Projects Move Toward White House Funding
Francis J. Kelly reports two major postwar spending bills advancing toward the White House. One proposes about 2.5 billion for postwar river and navigation works, flood control and power. The other seeks 1.673 billion for highway improvements over three years to spur a motor boom after the war. Both plans would require broad state funding, with conferences to resolve differences proceeding. Senate considers a separate 500 million rivers and harbors bill, while House debates extending the 1 percent Social Security tax for another year. President Roosevelt is expected to veto the measure if it reaches his desk.
