Relief Bill Sent To Senate, 373 to 21

WASHINGTON, June 17 (U. BP).

BOYS’ STATE COUNSELORS GET FINAL INSTRUCTIONS .

—The House passed and sent to the Senate early today, after a tur. bulent, 14-hour session, a $1,735,600,- | 000 relief bill for the next fiscal! year, |

It carries the full amount vrequested by President Roosevelt for the WPA, but includes restrictions) that he opposed, giving Congress greater control over relief. The final vote, 373 to 21, came at 12:47 a. m. Only nine Democrats and 12 Republicans voted against it after provisions specifically opposed by the President and relief) administrators had been approved. All 12 Indiana Congressman voted for the bill. Early Senate action was promised | by Chairman Adams (D. Colo.) of the Senate Appropriations Committee, who announced that hearings will begin Tuesday. But New Deal Senators will fight to eliminate some of the House provisions.

PWA Fund is Kept

As approved by the House the appropriation is $36,890,000 less than budget estimates and $804.205,000 below the amount voted for relief

during the current fiscal year. Major provisions of the would: 1. Appropriate

bill

£1.477,000000 for the WPA of which $125,000000 is earmarked for Public Works Administration projects. This was the amount requested by the President, but he objects to the earmarking of funds for PWA. 2. Appropriate $100.000000 for the National Youth Administration. The budget estimated $123.000,000; the House Appropriations Committee cut it to $83.000.000, and the final figure was offered by House Majority Leader Sam Rayburn (D.| Tex.) as a “harmony” proposal.

‘Security’ Wages Provided 3 Create a three-man bipariisan board to administer WPA, eliminating the present one-man administrator.

4 Impose stiff penalties for political activities by relief workers and administrative personnel. 5. Ban theater projects. 8. Substitute the theory of a security wage for the prevailing wage to WPA workers. 7. Prohibit employment under any relief agency after April 1. 1940 of any person eligible to receive Social Security Act benefits, 8. Require a periodic review, not less than once every six months, of the rolls of relief employees, 9. Remove persons from WPA rolls after they have received benefits for 18 consecutive months. Heads of families who are 45 vears of age or older and war veterans are exempt from this provision, 10. Prevent reallocation of WPA funds to other agencies. 11. Denies work relief to aliens and those who advocate overthrow of the Government. The alien ban is part of the present relief act and when it was applied approximately 30.000 aliens were stricken from the rolls. The provision relating to citizens advocating overthrow of the Government is new.

Woodrum Is Victorious

The House picked the hottest day of the year—the temperature reached 968—for the longest session since this Congress met in January, But the heat did not worry the legislators who debated in their air-conditioned chamber, Leaders called the House to order at 11 a. m. vesterday in an effort to avoid a Saturday session. But Saturday’s dawn came less than three hours after the House recessed until Monday. Led by. Rep. Clifton A. Woodrum (D. Va), Republicans and Democrats throughout the day beat down attempts of Administration forces to increase the relief appropriation and to defeat restrictions. Only on funds for NYA was the Administration successful in obtaining a compromise. By a voice vote an amendment by Rep. Kent Keller (D. Il) to increase the WPA fund by $£1097.000.000 was howled down. Just before final passage, Democrats and Republicans joined in paying tribute to Rep. Woodrum, who headed the Appropriations Subcommittee which drafted the bill.

1940 MIRRORED

Both Garner and Roosevelt Realize Importance of Officeholders.

By CHARLES T. LUCEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, June 17-—-The fight on the Hatch bill barring political activity by Federal employees loomed today as a forerunner of the contest for the Presidential nomination in the 1940 Democratic National Convention. Keen political observers on Capitol Hill believe it is no mere aceident that sees President Roosevelt opposing the bill as it was written by Senator Hatch (D. No MM), and Vice President Garner favoring it Two weeks ago Mr. Garner, who rarely allows himself to be quoted on any subject, told newspapermen that the Hatch bill would be law before Congress adiourns,

Criticizes Hateh Draft

Yesterday Mr. Roosevelt said that while he agrees with the obvious objectives of the measure, he believes it was badly drawn and that it should not preclude all Government officials and emplovees from being active politically Friends of the bill point out that the President is fully alive to the fact that thousands of Federal offi¢ials throughout the country-—dis-trict attorneys, internal revenue collectors, postmasters, U. S. marshals and others—constitute a powerful force in shaping local sentiment as the conventions approach. Thousands of these are beholden to the Roosevelt Administration, it is argued, and very largely would be for Mr. Roosevelt, a third term, or for somoone else named by him if he chooses not to seek the nomination.

Garner Knows It, Too Many of these got their jobs be-

‘cause they had delivered politically

in their wards and precincts, and they stiil stimulate and help control political thinking, To take them out of political activity, as the Hotehr bil would do, observers contend, could handicap the Administration greatly. Mr. Garner knows all this as well as Mr. Roosevelt. Some of his friends say he is not concerned with this Federal ma-

or a Roosevelt man-—-and against the rest of the field in the Democratic Party. The Vice President watched the progress of the bill closely in the Senate, where it was passed without a dissenting vote. What he does about the fight on the bill in the House—where he served for many vears—may have an important bearing on whether the Hatch bill is passed as it came from the Senate or in greatly weakened form.

Apparently, for the present, the Government did not intend to dte ‘tempt to take over the Concessions unless the situation became further inflamed. The feeling seemed to be one of elation because, so far as was known, the Japanese had finally succeeded in isolating the British on an independent issue and the United States was not involved.

U. S. Holds Back on

Protest to Japs

WASHINGTON, June 17 (U. P.). —State Department officials awaite ed official clarification today of the nature and extent of economic and shipping reprisals which Great Britain reportedly decided to use against Japan. Upon that information, and the conduct of Japanese military officials toward American nationals, will depend whether the United States wil Jadopt a course of action parallel to that of Britain. Much appears to depend upon whether Japanese military officials at Tientsin continue the scrupulous respect for American nationals which they have heretofore ob=served.
