State Run USES Urged By October Controversy
The House Appropriations Committee recommended returning the United States Employment Service to state control on October 1, counter to President Truman's request for continuation as a federal agency through July 1, 1947. The panel passed a $1.131 billion Labor and Federal Security Agencies budget, with cuts including 28 new positions and 23 solicitor staff positions. Large allotments include $683.8 million for the Federal Security Agency and $484 million in grants to states for social programs. The Children’s Bureau received $29.0 million of its $30.1 million request, earmarked largely for emergency maternity and infant care. Public Health Service had $95.2 million, with portions for venereal disease and tuberculosis control.
