Senate approves $3.7 billion relief program with flexible powers
The senate voted six to one for a 3.723 billion spending and lending package granting the Roosevelt administration broad control over the funds. Opponents failed to add restrictions on political activity by relief workers and to earmark more than 500 million for specific purposes. The measure now goes to a joint conference to reconcile with the House plan as summer recess looms.
