STATE PERFECT IN ATTENDANCE

Ludlow and Larrabee Agree On WPA Vote, Split on Dies Committee.

Times Special | WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—Votes by members of Congress represent-

- ing districts including Indianapolis

on important questions’ decided by roll call in the week ended Feb. 3 are shown below. ; : No record votes were taken in ~ the Senate during the week. ' To date, on 28 quorum calls and three roll calls since Jan. 3, Senator Minton (D. Ind.) and VanNuys (D. Ind.) have perfect records of having been present 31 times. | In the vote Jan. 30 on the resolution to print 25000 additional copies of the report of the Dies Committee

‘present and 77 not voting. Voting “yea” were both Rep. | Louis Ludlow (D. Ind.) and Rep. William H. Larrabee (D. Ind.). The main issue was whether ~ copies should be distributed direct to the public upon request, as pro- ~ posed, or should be distributed through members of Congress. Most - of those who voted “nay” favored distribution. through members of Congress, though some opposed the printing of any additional copies of the report. After the, previous question: had been ordered, the iresolution was adopted by a voice vote. ‘ On Feb. 2, during consideration of the conference report on the [725 million dollar emergency deficiency bill for work relief, a motion to eliminate a provision of the House bill which would have | limited differentials in WPA wage rates in the' various states to a maximum of 25 per cent was agreed | to, 252 yeas to 140 nays, with 40 not voting,

Both Reps. Larrabee and Ludlow voted yea. ;

Technically, the action was on a motion by Cannon (D. Mo.) to re-

| cede and concur in a Senate | amendment which struck out the | 25 per cent differential provision of | the House bill. Other provisions of the conference report, including a Senate amendment which restricts the laying off of WPA workers during February and March to a maximum of 5 per cent, were accepted without balloting. The bill was then sent to the President. On Feb. 3, a resolution to con-

tigation for an additional year with instructions to report the Committee’s recommendations for necessary legislation not later than Jan, 3, 1940, was adopted, 344 yeas, 35 nays, 2 present and 51 not voting, . : Rep. Ludlow voted yea, Rep. Larrabee nay. Favorable action on an additional appropriation of $100,000 for the Committee’s work is expected during the week of Feb. 6. : On three quorum calls and seven roll calls in the House since Jan. 3, Rep. Larrabee has been present for eight and absent for two, Rep. Ludlow has been present for all 10. In January, the House met 18 and the Senate 16 days of a possible 25 (Sundays excluded). Average attendance in the Senate for roll calls was 91 of ‘96, average House attendance was 385 of 432 (there aré three vacancies). Average length of session was 3 hours 20 minutes for the Senate, 3 hours 2 minutes for the House.

SMOKE ABATEMENT CONFERENCE SET

‘Continuous Policy’. to Be Aim of Civic Meeting Feb. 23

A meeting to form a “continuous policy” on smoke abatement was called toddy by Leroy J. Keach, Safety Board president, for Feb. 23. Representatives of the Smoke Abatemen League, the Apartment the Building Managers’ Association, the Indian-

' apolis Power & Light Co., the Citi-

zens’ Gas and Coke Utility, the railroads and city officials have been invited to attend. Mr, Keach said: “We're going to try to get a cross section opinion of all groups interested or affected by any smoke abatement program we might start. “I don’t think™# will be possible to do much this winter when we do formulate our policy, although we might make some headway. But we will arrive at and maintain a continuous policy which we hope will show results next year. “I'm not sure that additional leg- ~ islation by Council would be necessary.

- Roosevelt Message on Relief

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (U. P.).—The text of President Roosevelt’s special message to Congress todgy on

relief:

To ‘the Congress. of the United States: ‘On’ Saturday, Feb. 4, I approved ‘House joint resolution No. 83 which appropriates 725 million dollars to continue the operations of the Works Progress Administration for the remaining five months of the current fiscal year. I would have withheld my approval of this legislation on the ground of its inadequacy to meet human need and I would have immediately asked for a larger sum if it had not been for the provision that there shall not be a reduction of more than 5 per cent of the number of employees on Works Progress projects prior to April 1, 1939. This proviso leads to the conclusion that the Congress stands ready during the balance of February and the month of March to reconsider actual needs in time to increase before April 1 the appropriation for the last three months of the fiscal year.

CITES INCREASE ON NEED

In my message to Congress on Jan. 5, 1939, I recommend a supplementary appropriation of 875 million dollars. This was based on a program to give employment to 3,000,000 workers during February and March and to reduce this employment to an average of 2,700,000 workers in June. This estimate reduction of 300,000 workers by June took full cognizance of the economic recovery which might reasonably be anticipated. Because it has been necessary during the first week of February to utilize all working capital and pay roll reserves normally maintained to protect the funds of the United States against overobligation, it will also be necessary immediately to re-establish these reserves from the supplementary appropriation. / The net amount available to finance the Works Progress Administration from February 1 to June 30 is therefore $725,000,000. 4 In discussing the employment that can be provided for five months with $725,000,000 first consideration is given to the winter months of February and March. The joint resolution requires that reduction in employment in those months shall not exceed 5 per cent which reduction, if carried out, would mean the discharge of 150,000 employees. However, I call your attention io the fact that the rolls have already been reduced by 350,000 since the last week of last October. As no new assignments have been made during this period, there has been a large accumulation of able-bodied people certified to us as in need of relief—people however who have not been able to secure Places on thie work program. The need of these people is so apparent and so deserving that the rolls, in human decency, ought not to be reduced during February and March by even 5 per cent. conferences with the Works Progress Administration it has been determined for the above reason to hold the rolls at the present figure of 3,000,000 persons during these two months,

120 MILLION A MONTH

To employ these three million people at the prevailing average monthly eost of $61 will require an expenditure of 366 million dollars, This will leave 359 million dollars for the months of April, May and June, Under the terms of the joint resolution this sum must be apportioned over the entire period to June 30. The Administration will

have at his disposal an average of approximately 120 million dollars per month for these three months —providing an average employment of slightly less than two million persons. Two alternatives under the joint

istrator. The first is to reduce the rolls abruptly by one million persons on the first of April and provide an average employment of two million persons during the ensuing three months. This would result in throwing this very large number of persons out of employment suddenly. Such a number cannot possibly be absorbed by private industry in time to prevent extreme distress. And I call your attention to the fact that on the average every person discharged from the rolls has dependent on him or her three other persons. In other words the greater part of four million Americans will be stranded. ; The second alternative is to commence a week-by-week reduction on April 1 and to carry this reduction through to June 30. Even on the assumption that all reserves which under proper governmental procedure should be maintained, were completely expended by June 30, such reduction would require that employment by the end of June will be reduced to a figure well below

In other words the program of present employment would be slashed considerably more than onehalf within a period of three months. If, however, proper reserves were maintained at the end of the fiscal year, employment at the end of June would drop still further—to a figure of only slightly more than 1,000,000 persons.

IMMEDIATE STUDY ASKED

Therefore, on a program of gradual reduction from 1,500,000 to two

million persons would be thrown out of Works Progress Administration employment . . . or, with the addition of those dependent on them, from six million to eight million Americans would no longer receive Federal Government aid. I ask that Congress commence immediate. consideration of these simple. -and alarming ‘facts. The operations. of - the ‘Works Progress Administration are of such magnitude that if a reduction such as I have above described has to be carried out, orderly and efficient planning requires that this be known definitely by the first week in March. It is equally important that the executive branch of the Government be informed at the earliest possible moment what additional funds, if any, will be available on and after April 1. I invite the attention of the Congress to the fact that my recommendation for the larger amount Was made to the Congress on Jan.

resolution are open to the Admin-|*

ing for 2 much reduced ‘appropriation was presented for my consideration more than four’weeks later.

REPORTS EMERGENCY

In view of the foregoing considerations, I report to the Congress that in my opinion an emergency now exists, and that the facts constituting such emergency are as follows: .... .. (A) That the rolls of the Works Progress: Administration should be held at the present figure of three naillion: through the winter months of February and March to prevent undue suffering and to care in part for. those persons who have been certified as in need, but have not been given employment. (B) That the funds which have been provided by the Congress, if not supplemented, will require a very drastice reduction in the Works Progress Administration rolls commencing April 1, 1939, which would result in removing people from the work program in numbers far beyond those that could be absorbed by industry with any conceivable degree of recovery. Widespread want or distress would inevitably follow. ; (C) That the need for orderly planning of the Works Progress Administration program requires that © the Administor should know by the early part of March what funds will be at his dispos& after April 1 and that, due to the time required for Congressional action, this can be brought about only by my reporting to the Congress on the situation at this time. I therefore recommend to the Congress immediate consideration of legislation providing an additional sum of $150,800,000 for the Works Progress Administration to be available in the balance of the current fiscal year,
