Road Program Not To Be Curtailed
The House committee on roads
which had planned a big fight
against proposals to drastically cut
the appropriations for federal aid
for highways during 1939 has won
its fight without the necessity of
floor debate. Word came to the 1
committee members that the lead- ^
erships will accede to all *the de
mands of the road boosters and
the 1939 program as outlined in the j
authorizations will remain status ,
quo. This assurance came follow
ing the president's message on
plans to increase relief expendi
tures.
The House had been debating the
1939 agricultural appropriation bill
in which the road money is carried.
The bill had cut the roads funds in
half as compared to 1938. The I
Toad committee members armed
themselves with data and statistics
and had campaigned among mem
bers to put the road money back in
the bill. Suddenly came word from
leaders that they would accept the
committee’s amendments to the
1939 bill. So the road boosters at
home can feel secure in their hopes
that the road work on regular high
ways including farm-to-market
roads will continue.
Unemployment Forces
Expeditures
The President’s message to the
Congress and his fireside chat about
the unemployment problem are
topics which members of the House
and Senate are discussing, with un
usual interest. With about fifteen
billion already spent to solve the
problem and the proposed expendi
ture of about four billion more, the
legislative situation threatens to
keep the Congress busy for another
sixty days. Many leaders admit
that their original plan to end this
session by May 16 must be changed.
Members on both sides admit that
the unemployment problem must be
solved and because no other real
solution, except to spend in order
to create more hfiylng power, has
been suggested, the new relief
legislation may have no serious
difficulty in passing. The fight to
“earmark” the proposed new relief
funds has already started.
May Not Get Wage and Hour Bill
Whether or not a new wages and
hours bill is to be offered to the
House and Senate is problematical.
Most members seem agreeable to
a modified bill which would call
for a 44 hour maximum week and a
26 cent minimum wage. But there
are certain definite signs to indicate
that perhaps the wages and hours
legislation may be deferred for
some time.
Some New Deal critics are un
kind enough to say that the five
billion dollar spending program is
not designed to prime the pump
so much as it is to pump the primary.
