Economy Bill Slashed as House Passes Measure
Washington May 4 AP The House passed a heavily trimmed omnibus economy bill after long opposition, saving about 42.3 million but dropping many larger cuts. It authorizes President Hoover to reorganize agencies, creates a public works admin, curtails payrolls, reduces military and government pay, and trims printing, salaries, and transfers. Critics argue the bill’s scope is limited and uncertain in the Senate and tied to broader appropriations.
