Economy Bill Wrecked by House in Budget Fight
Washington reports the economy bill as a shadow of the $120,000,000 draft, passing the House then moving to the Senate with about $42,300,000 in savings. Insurgents resisted demands to reinstate large cuts after nine roll calls, leaving the measure uncertain as the Senate handles tax and appropriation bills. The plan would authorize Hoover to reorganize agencies, create a public works administration, and cut salaries and benefits to save funds.
