Relief Measure Switched Back to House Today
Washington June 24 The two billion dollar unemployment relief program switched back to the House as progressives push to block a presidential veto after adjournment. The Senate approved 2.3 billion and the House adopted 2.291 billion, with conference plans to adjust the bills and potential veto scenarios. The controversy centers on a federal bond issue for public works opposed by President Hoover, while LaGuardia claims enough votes to prevent adjournment before the president acts. The economy measure also faces a separate Senate drive for 150 million in federal economy cuts, including family impact provisions, before moving to the Hawes-Cutting bill granting Philippine independence in 19 years. The Democratic relief package includes 300 million to states via Reconstruction Corporation, 1.5 billion for job-creating projects, 40 million for export financing, 500 million for federal bonds on infrastructure, and a 100 million direct relief fund. The Garner House plan adds 1.191 billion bond issue for federal public works and up to 1 billion expansion of Reconstruction Corporation for revenue projects.

Prohibition Plank Proposals Heard at Democratic Convention
At the Democratic national convention in Chicago on June 24 a proposed prohibition plank favors repealing the Eighteenth Amendment with safeguards for states against a saloon return. The plank would compel a Democratic Congress to let states vote on prohibition rather than commit the party to repeal. If this path continues, prohibition may not be a clear campaign issue. Republicans last week urged a platform calling for prompt submission to the states of an amendment to the Eighteenth Amendment.

Indiana Governor Vows Veto to Guard Emergency Tax Relief
Indianapolis June 24 Governor Harry G Leslie warned that the veto will block any attempt to divert the special legislative session from emergency tax relief. He said every bill must align with emergency tax needs and that measures like repealing the Wright bone dry law will be vetoed if not urgent. The session focuses on taxation and economy, not party platforms. If rapid agreement occurs, he may propose a constitutional amendment to abolish lame duck sessions.
