In seven months of the 1932 fiscal year which commenced July 1, 1938, the total WPA expenditures in the state were $41.734,499.

$1,689,963 Spent Here

There were 63,000 general relief cases in Indiana in January, 1939, as compared with 57679 in December, 1938. The December direct relief expenditures amounted to $807. - 290, or an average of $14 per month per case. Indiana is one of the few states where the State Government, as such, provides no direct relief. From January through November, 1938, $1.689.963 was expended for direct relief in Indianapolis and debtedness, which, in reality, are Marion County. LO. Us. : | coud ‘ Debt.

WASHINGTON, March 31 (U.P). —House supporters of President Roosevelt's relief policies considered | offering an amendment to the appropriation bill today that would increase it to 400 million dollars— 150 million dollars for relief and 250 million for farm parity pavments. The House probably will pass the bill today and influential memers believed that it would yphold its Appropriation Committee which recommended 100 million dollars for work relief for the rest of the fiscal year, 50 million less than Mr. Roose- | OVER N velt wants.

tice Stone has stood almost continually by the New Deal. This makes five of the nine. Chief Justice Hughes has voted often with the New Deal. Justice Roberts has gone along on occasion. Only two arch foes of the New Deal dispensation remain on the court—Justices Butler and McReynolds.

Hughes Causes Shift

Chief Justice Hughes, himself, was really responsible for court's shift of direction, when. under pressure of the Roosevelt court reform bill, he swung Justice Roberts about on the Washington minimum wage law for women, after Justice Roberts had voted against a similar New York state law nine months before. That move insugurated a change which subsequently upheld the con-

parents.
