F. D. R. SIGNS BILL DESIGNED TO AID RELIEF First Os Fund Released Is For Emergency Relief, CCC Camps Washington, April 9 (U.R) — Speed-up spending plans for the $900,000,000 of work-relief money allotte dto public worics were outlined today by public works administrator Harold L. Ickes as President Roosevelt hastened home to release a $4.725,tM)0,00<> job-making fund. Ickes forecast a decentralization of PWA administrative rej sponsibility. It would involve dispatch of legal, financial and engineering experts to the various I states to pass upon projects be- | fore they are submitted to Washi ington. The administrator promised that federal financing of municipal power projects would absorb some !of the $900,000,000 fund. He ex--1 pecte works on new tpublic works projects to be recruited from | persons on relief rolls instead of through tlie labor department reemployment service or from labor unions. The first tide of work relief money began flowing today in the sum of $155,000,000 allocated by Mr. Roosevelt to federal etnergenI cy relief and the civilian conservation corps. Relief administrator Harry L. ? Hopkins was allotted $125,000,000 to feed and clothe the nation’s i 20,500.000 needy until he receives an additional $755,000,000 provided in the bill for doles. CCC director Robert Fechner ordered double-quick enrollment of 110,000 recruits to expand his emergency conservation corps to ' the 370.000 mark. Tentative allocation of the reI maining billlions of dollars in the ' new deal’s effort to employ 3,i 500,000 persons directly on gov- : ernment-financed projects and 3.- ! 500.000 more in behind-the line in- : dustries was as follows: Direct relief money already al- : located $125,000,000.

Payment of the Adjusted Service I'ertificates, commonly called the soldiers' bonus, by the present congress, would bring into this county approximately $328,512.18, the state department of the American Legion informed Charles Massonnee. county chairman for the Legion in Adams county. The veteran would spend the money he received for vital needs that would help local business, Frank N. Belgrano, Jr., of Sau Francisco, Cal., national commander of the Legion, and Frank R. Kossa, of Jeffersonville, both business men, said. “The American Legion believes, and justly so that the Legion Vinj son bill which does not call for inflation of the currency, can pass i the house and senate of the pres- ■ ent congress it local veterans get : behind it and write their congressmen," State Commander Kossa said. I He said that the t>gibn did not look with favor upon any compromise that wouTC now or eventually take from the veteran part of what is due him. The Legion has conducted an exhaustive survey which shows that the veteran, if paid what is diie ' him would use the money to pay old debts, including mortgages on homes, buying new homes, purchasing small farms and stock, food, clothing, medical attention, education of children, trying to regain health, back taxes, and other necessities. All of this would aid recovery, the Legion officials said.
