FDR Primary Intervention Attitudes Split Senators
Ten Democratic senators proposed a three man committee to investigate politics in relief during the 1938 campaign. They supported limits on WPA influence in conventions and endorsements, citing Gillette’s Iowa primary win as evidence. President Roosevelt suggested he would freely share views if Iowa were different, prompting talk of more endorsements by administration officials under similar circumstances.

Appropriations Set to Hit New Peacetime Peak in U S History
Washington reports the current congressional session will push appropriations to a peacetime high, with bills enacting or pending totaling roughly 11.84 to 12.28 billion dollars. The 1936 World War era high was 10.56 billion, boosted by veterans’ bonuses. Factors driving the rise include emergency relief expansion and Social Security funds, with an extra 250 million for relief by July. House and Senate committees will finalize the Senate relief bill’s final cost, while Rep. Taber estimates nearly 13.5 billion. Debt projections rise toward a 45 billion ceiling by July 1, 1939, requiring borrowing.
