Increase In WPA Fund Also Beaten
Washington reports the House defeated a bid to increase the WPA fund and rejected a decentralization plan. A standing vote of 106 to 39 opposed shifting relief to states, while an amendment to raise the WPA fund from 1.25 to 1.5 billion for seven months ending January 31 was turned down 61 to 23. Rep. Bacon urged 25- cent state matches to boost aid, saying more relief would reach those in need. Critics argued changing relief machinery during an emergency was inadvisable. A further cut to NYA funding from 75 million to 20 million was derailed as supporters argued NYA aided millions of students. The next proposed measure would mandate WPA jobs for all unable to find private work.
