Political use of relief funds charged in Senate
Senate campaign expenditures committee pressed for reforms after a long inquiry into WPA relief funds used for political ends. It cited Harry Hopkins and a wide array of states, urged legislation to bar relief recipients from political contributions, restrict official influence on votes, and tighten campaign reporting. The report examined Kentucky, Tennessee, and other states, noting irregularities, with focus on Barkley’s 1940s campaigns and a mystery over $20,000 reportedly tied to his committee.
