Money measures up in Congress in heated session
Washington reports show Congress dominated by money measures as debate over the supreme court gold decision delays progress. The senate wrestles with a 4.88 billion work relief bill and possible halt of direct federal relief after the 850 million earmarked funds are spent. The house advances a 98.19 million supply bill for state justice commerce and labor for the coming fiscal year, with disclosures on potential new markets for American commerce and department functions. The era's broader issues include NRA fate discussions and a Townsend pension critique, while administration officials urge caution on inflation and debt settlements.
