Unemployment Worse, |

President Declares

WASHINGTON, June 1 (U. P). | —President Roosevelt, in a letter to | Senator Adams (D. Colo.) today | declared that unemplovment has | grown worse in the last six weeks and urged that “no restrictions” be placed in the $3,247.000.000 Recovery Bill which would impede a speedy start of relief projects. The President's communication challenged Senate oppositionists who have campaigned to earmark funds in measure and restrict the Chief Executive's powers. Mr Roosevelt told Senator Adams, floor manager for the spond-

the

ing-lending bill, that “if the Government undertakes to relieve unemployment by the measure now

before Congress the time element is | an essential to success.” | Text of Letter The President's letter was read to

the Senate by Mr. Adams. Its text is as follows: “Dear Senator Adams: “On my return this morning 1

have held a conference with representatives of the Public Works Ad- | ministration, the Works Progress Administration and the; Treasury. “Since my relief message to the | Congress six weeks ago, the unemployment situation has grown worse, and therefore, if the Government undertakes to relieve unemployment bv the measure now before Con-! gress, the time element is an essentia. to success. ‘It is obvious that undertaking projects next winter or spring will not contribute to the serious necessities of this summer or autumn. Furthermore, it is hoped that private industry and finance, because

of deferred needs and lessening inventories, will be in a position a little later on to increase private

employment. Emergency employment therefore should come right away instead of being deferred to a time when it may synchronize with an increase in private employment. “It is the gap existing now that we want to fill. Therefore 1 greatly hope that the emergency appropriation bill in its final form will put restrictions on the immediate starting of works projects. and that it will make possible the selection nf those projects which can be got under way most speedily. “To this end, flexibility of actual | administration is essential. I cannot too strongly point out that there is unanimous agreement in the executive branch of the Government that the appropriation, flexible in| administration, should have as its principal objective putting the greatest number of unemployed to work in the shortest time, Sincereiy yours, “FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT.' Mr.

| made Leader

Roosevelt's letter was public as Senate Majority Alben W. Barkley made efforts to speed Senate consideration of the | recovery measure in the face of continued delays due to lengthy de- | bate by the earmarking group. Senator Barkley predicted passage by tomorrow and said he would resort to extended sessions if necessary. After seven days of preliminary skirmishes, the Senate was ready today for a showdown on the vital power amendment to the Recovery Bill | On the rear wall of the chamber were three large charts depicting | the “effect of competition between public and private utilities.” They will be used when Senator Norris | (Ind. Neb.) champion of public power projects, opens a fight to strike

out the amendment sponsored by Senator Hale (R. Me.). The amendment prohibits the

PWA from spending or lending any of its $1.265,000,000 appropriation and authorization on municipal power plants that would compete | with private utilities. |

Several Important

Measures Marooned (Editorial, Page 10)

HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, June 1.-—-Con-gress’ annual eleventh-heur scramble has begun. Leaders are sifting through the legislative calendars to determine what important bills, in addition to the spending-lending and wage-hour measures, should be through in the 10 davs rethe hoped-for adjournment on June 11. Several important measures have been marooned this session after passage in one chamber or the other, and several others are deadlocked in House-Senate conferences after passage by both chambers in

At the top of the “must list” are the final Deficiency Appropriation Bill, just emerging from a House

| committee, and the proposal for an

investigation of monopolies and of the antitrust laws, which is pending in committee. Conferees are deadlocked on the new Maritime Bill, vital to the Maritime Commission's plans for reviving the Merchant Marine. Labor mediation provisions put in by the Senate will probably be accepted. but the conferces are still split on provisions authorizing construction of ships abroad and setting up & training school for seamen.
