Public Works By WPA Bit By Roosevelt
President Roosevelt opposed using part of the pending relief appropriation for public works saying it would reduce jobs for the needy. In the House Representative Woodrum urged allocating half relief funds to public works while the president argued such projects raise material costs and reduce relief reach. He stressed the relief bill of 975,650,000 must pass quickly as funds may run out July 1 and suggested a temporary WPA shift toward non construction needs.
