In Washington on May 3 President Roosevelt and the Budget Bureau moved to save nearly $1 billion by shelving long range flood control projects and Army housing programs. Roosevelt asked House flood committee chairman Whittington to delay action on Ohio and lower Mississippi valley programs, while the Budget Bureau disapproved a War Department housing plan worth $162 million. War Department officials reacted with surprise and contemplated action in the next session. The move unsettled Democrats including House military affairs chair Lister Hill after his costly study of 35 military reservations and floor remarks on Army housing needs.
