Roosevelt Plans to Cut Four Million From Relief Rolls
President Roosevelt announced a civil works administration financed with 400 million dollars to reduce relief rolls. Two million expected to gain self sustaining status by November 16 and another two million by December 15, overseen by Harry Hopkins with a 30 hour work week. This move could lift about two thirds of relief dependent families from assistance. White House data show September relief rolls fell by 250,000 families. Farm prices rose modestly and consumer costs edged up slightly.
