Banking panel backs 2.49 billion loan bill to spur jobs
The banking committee urged Senate approval of the administration's 2.49 billion loan measure, claiming it would create 500000 new jobs. The report, by Majority Leader Barkley, notes benefits for carpenters bricklayers and other workers and argues the scheme would raise national income without increasing the public debt through RFC financing and repayments. Republican Townsend signals amendments to curb the program and possible expansions of RFC lending powers. The panel trimmed the bill, cutting proposed outlays and toll road funding, and added reclamation funding before sending it to the Senate floor.
