Roosevelt asks for four billion to fund work relief plan
President Roosevelt urges Congress to approve a lump sum of 4 000 000 000 to finance the new work relief program while warning of a looming public debt peak of 34 239 000 000 by June 30 1936. Democratic leaders back the aim but oppose the lump sum. Senator McNary decries delay yet calls federal aid to the unemployed necessary. The White House press conference stresses private industry must re employ workers and curb deficits. The message goes to Senate and House for readings as Roosevelt stays home with a cold.
