National Recovery Drives Fire Up as Roosevelt Pushes Plan
President Roosevelt and Gen. Hugh S. Johnson launch a nationwide economic recovery drive with 48 state recovery boards and 26 district boards. Public works funding totals over 1.05 billion dollars, including 63 million for Grand Coulee and 11.5 million for the upper Mississippi channel project. Johnson enlists industry leaders to draft codes while balancing wage and hours provisions and preparing for anti racketeering and kidnaping enforcement.
