PWA funds in limbo as Ickes cites $400 million available
Secretary Ickes says nearly all PWA money is allocated or earmarked with about $400 million readily spendable from the $500 million authorization. Roosevelt has handed over $400 million so far and may release $100 million later, leaving substantial funds for public works though thousands await aid. President Roosevelt tours Caribbean and Pacific posts aboard the cruiser Houston, visiting Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Colombia, and Panama before a 12 day voyage to Honolulu.
