Relief money cut by House Appropriations Committee
The House Appropriations Committee voted to reduce next year’s relief appropriation to 5.9 million dollars and retain the WPA alien employment ban. The cut totals 93 dollars below Roosevelt’s request and 85 percent below current funding, implying WPA employment drop from 1.3 million to about 41 thousand in July or August. The panel allocated 54 million to the Agriculture Department for food stamps, proposed a 10 million cut for wage payments on defense projects, and praised the WPA defense training program aiding over 30,000 workers into private jobs. The committee reiterated the WPA as emergency relief, not permanent, and opposed removal of alien bans on relief rolls.
