Provisions Set to Curb Layoffs Through April
A Senate appropriations subcommittee approved a relief funds cut to 725 million dollars with a proviso to keep work relief rolls nearly intact through winter. The move sparked debate over WPA funding for the rest of the fiscal year as Roosevelt sought 875 million. Byrnes pushed an amendment tying layoffs to a maximum 5 percent drop before April 1 and allowing allocation of 725 million between February 7 and June 30. If needed, Roosevelt can request emergency funding and WPA must review eligibility to remove those not in actual need. Administration backers plan to restore the higher 875 million figure on the full committee vote.
