Congress pushes acts as Roosevelts agenda advances
Washington reports a brisk session with leaders aiming to adjourn in May and push the agricultural adjustment act. Senate leaders plan to lay aside the anti-lynching bill while advancing a $250 million deficiency relief appropriation and proposals on farm reform. Roosevelt may seek a revised antitrust approach and a 40 hour work week with a 40 cent minimum wage, though House resistance persists. A naval expansion plan of about 1.05 billion dollars may also move forward next week.
