Administration relief plan gains Congress amid public works attacks
Washington June 2 An administration relief program was laid before Congress as two cabinet members attacked Democratic public works plans. Rep Hawley introduced measures aligned with the president. Secretary Mills spoke to the Senate Banking Committee opposing a public works bond issue. The plan seeks 300 million dollars for relief loans to states and 1.5 billion more for the Reconstruction Corporation for self-liquidating projects. Mills warned the Democratic bond plan would unbalance the budget and questioned the employment impact of large expenditures. Hurley added that river and harbor construction would not significantly raise employment, while Mills backed a 300 million fund for relief loans, 1.46 billion for self-liquidating projects, and 40 million for agricultural exports.
