CONGRESSIONAL ACTIVITY WASHINGTON. June 2 'UP* The $1,500,000,000 work relief bill target of the worst congressional revolt under the new deal, was passed by the House late last night in a boisterous

session.

The vote was 323 to 44. The measure now goes to the Senate, where a coalition of conservative Democrats and Republicans will sink to reduce the appropriation $500,000,000 in the interest of economy. Final action came in an atmosphere of such intense bitterness that leaders predicted privately that the House would not pass another "blank check" bill authorizing Mr. Roosevelt to spend relief money as he sees fit. Likewise they indicated that the measure passed last night may be the last of the billion dollar relief bills to

win congressional approval.

The measure was passed In substantially the form recommended by the President. He had intervened over the week-end to compromise with patronage-hungry and rebellious Democrats who earmarked $505.000 - 000 of the appropriation for specific projects while the House sat as

committee of the whole.

The revolt collapsed when Majority Leader Sam Rayburn, Democrat, Texas, outlined Mr. Roosevelt’s position. He said the President hail agreed to provide adequate funds from the relief bill for WPA projects,

^SOCIETY Christian Missionary Society Entertained The Woman’s Missionary society of the First Christiafi church was entertained Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. C. T.

Taunted by Minority Leader Bertrand Snell, Republican, New York, for the general cnaracter of his statement, Rayburn admitted he did not know the exact amount of money that the President would divert to the various projects which have been described as "vote-getting’’ and

It was apparent, however, that the insurgents had surrendered long before Rayburn spoke. The scope of the and ' surrender was shown when the House went back into legislative session to

Have you looked your floors over with a critical eye lately? You know, more than any other house surface - walls, doors, woodwork -your floors take a terrific amount of punishment.
