Silver Bloc In Senate May Stall Relief Passage
The Senate faced a potential stall on monetary relief and tax bills as currency expansion and a domestic silver subsidy took center stage. Senator Barkley signaled a filibuster against the nonmonetary bill while fears grew that Treasury price actions for domestic silver and the administration’s nine day deadline could affect the stabilization fund and devaluation powers. The debate accelerated as February to June deadlines loom, with night sessions discussed and continued Senate scrutiny of the relief bill by the appropriations committee ongoing.

900 Families In County Off Relief Rolls
Relief offices serving relief families in Portsmouth New Boston and rural county areas were closed today by order of county commissioners. The move ended about 20 positions while the surplus commodity warehouse stays open to supply essentials. An investigator will plan about 3000 by July 1 and after July 1 the county aims to issue 6300 in relief bonds to match with state funds. Commissioners previously closed offices in May to save 14000 but reopened June 1 and spent 11000. Officials from Canty City and New Boston met to discuss relief administration, agreeing the county will continue relief for all subdivisions until August 15 when another meeting will decide. A special relief election in August may vote a levy of 112 mills for relief and WPA, expected to raise 120000. Dr. Carl Watson of the WPA suggested the Washington office pay 75 percent of WPA costs, noting Scioto County cannot meet 17.4 percent. The plan would leave 25000 for WPA projects participation. County officials Kuhn Schwamberger Phillips and Barklow returned from Columbus after attending a meeting opposing a legislative provision See Soe ee tT
