Bevin Warns On WPA Fund Debate in House Appropriations
The House Appropriations Committee recommended 725 million dollars to fund WPA through June 30, challenging Roosevelt's 875 million request. Four Republicans urged immediate action to limit relief, proposing only enough to last until April 7 for future plan reform. The panel noted WPA payrolls would average about 2.38 million under the lower figure, down from Roosevelt's projection. The move preceded a House debate with a clause to offset a presidential order affecting WPA funding.
