'F. I. R. REQUEST “TORUSHRELIEF | SPENDINGIS HIT

Fish Fears Election Year|

~ ‘Slush Fund’; Veterans Push.Pension Drive.

WASHINGTON, April 19 (U. P). —President Roosevelt’s request for permission to spend next year’s $975,000,000 work relief fund in eight months was attacked today by House members with widely divergent views on spending policy. Rep. John ‘Taber, (R. N. Y.) ranking minority member of the House Appropriations Committee, contended that $775,000,000 would Be enough to meet the relief problem for the entire 12 months of the fiscal year 1941, if the fund were “managed honestly.” Rep. Vito Mercantonio (Amer- ' fcan-=Laborite, N. Y.) representing the opposite point of view, said that the President’s approach was “evasive and inadequate,” and failed to provide ‘any program for relief. Fish Charges “Slush Fund” Rep. Hamilton Fish (R. N. Y) charged that the Administration sought an election year “slush fund” with which to “pad relief rolls.” He said 500,000 workers

were “padded on the payroll” dur-|

ing the last Presidential campaign and taker off after the election. Works Project Commissioner F. C. Harrington. .meanwhile, announced that he would combat’ political activity among WPA workers by inserting notices with pay checks ~ notifying them of their rights in _ political campaigns. Advocates of pensions for dependents of deceased World War veterans have succeeded in a maneuver to bring to the House floor a bill that would provide such benefits.

218 Sign Petition

* . Chairman John E. Rankin (D. Miss.), of the House Veterans Legislation Committee, said that the required 218 House members have signed his petition to discharge the Rules Committee from consideration of the measure. It is estimated that the bill would add $48,000,000 annually to psnsion costs, at the start, with the amount increasing each year. - The bill would: Grant $20 monthly to a widow, $8 for the first child, $6 for the second and $4 for each additional child. Grant a single child, where there is no surviving widow, $12 monthiy, two children $18, three children $24, each additional child $3. Allow a total compensation of $56 monthly to a widow or children. Set up a new pension class—dependent parents of deceased veterans. Both parents would réceive
