Washington, May 8.—Mayors of
some of the nation’s largest cities
told Congress Monday that it should
not curtail the WPA program.
Among those who defended the pro-
gram during testimony before a
house investigating committee were
Fiorello LaGuardia of New York, Ed-
ward J, Kelly of Chicago, Ill., and
Harold H. Burton of Cleveland, Ohio.
LaGuardia appealed for expansion
instead of curtailment of federal
spending in this field. He contended
unemployment in New York City had
increased since January to a present
level of 750,000, only slightly below
the peak of 1933. I
Asked by Representative Louis Lud-
low (Dem.) of Indiana if he could
say when WPA spending might be
ended, the Mayor replied with a
twinkle:
“If I could do that, you fellows
wouldn’t be looking around for a
presidential candidate.’’
Until the social security program
is perfected — perhaps nine years
from now—and the wage-hour law has
had a fair trial, LaGuardia said, the
Federal Government should provide
work for all the ablebodied needy em-
ployables who cannot get private jobs,
and compel the states and localities
to meet thei full cost of direct relief
for unemployables.
He added he would not object to the
adoption of a formula for the dis-
tribution of relief costs among the
different governments^ but that all
the proposed formulas he had seen
thus far simply added to tho burden
of states already doing their share.
. Representative Emmett O’Neal
(-Dem) of Kentucky observed that
thirteen states were not contribut-
ing a dime to the coot of direct re-
lief.
LaGuardia declared that his city
was providing 53 per cent of tho com-
bined cost of direct and work relief
withing its borders.
Kelly told the investigating commit-
tee that WPA rolls should not be re-
duced until work was provided by
private business.
“The depression is 50 per cent men-
tal,” lie declared. “You have got to
keep up the morale of the people.
You can’t have people walking the
streets and eating our of garbage
cans and keep up their morale.”

Austin, May 8.—A senate bill to
take approximately 83,000,000 a year
from the State’s general fund and
give it to 116 counties for flood con-
trol was ki’led Monday by the house,
78 to 54, after a stiff fight. The pro-
posal would have remitted ad val-
orem taxes to the affected counties
for the next 10 years.
Rejection of the bill climaxed s
day devoted mainly to proposed tax
remissions. Governor O’Daniel sign-
ed a measure returning about 8350,-
000 <a yeai to Harris County (Hous-
ton) for flood control and the house
passed to final reading remission
measures for 14 other counties and
some 25 school districts.
Many legislators favor ad valor-
em tax remission notwiths<inding
that the State’s general fund now is
in the red and most controversial
issue of the 119 day old session is
whether to increase the state tax bur-
den. .
A constitutional amendment impos-
ing a 2 per cent general sales tax
and boosting natural resource levies
one-fourth has been approved by the
senate and probably will come up
again in the house Wednesday, The
amendment mustered only 86 votes
in the lower branch last week where-
as 100 are needed. Opinion was di-
vided as to whether advocates could
pick up the other 14.
The senate had passed a bill re-
mitting to ail counties the State ad-
valorem levy for genei^al fund pur-
poses but the house thus far had
given no indication it would follow
suit.
The bill killed by the lower branch
would have remitted half the State
property taxes for the general fund
collected in counties in the follow-
ing water conservation districts:
Central Colorado and Lower Colo-
rado River Authorities; Gradalupe-
Blanco River Authority; Leon River
flood control district; Lower Neches
Valley Authority; Nueces River Con-
servation and Reclamation District;
Panhandle Water Conservation Au-
thority; Peace River flood control
district; Sabine-Neches conservation
district; San Antonio River Canal
and conservatory district; San Ja-
cinto River conservation and recla-
mation district;,Upper Red River flood
control and irrigation district; Upper
Guadalupe Authority of Kerr Coun-
ty; Sulphur River conservation and
reclamation district; Red Bluff water
power control district, and San Saba
water power control district of San
Saba County.
Representative Wood of Marshall
and Morris of Greenville, whose coun-
ties would have been among those
benefiting from the bill, led the as-
sault against it.
“What we need in the Governor’s
office,” shouted Wood, “is a Jimmy
Allred to stop this racket.’’ There
were both cheers and boos at the
mention of the former Governor, who
now is a Federal judge in the South
Texas district.
“How in the world," inquired Wood,
“would we replace this money that
is to be taLen from the general fund
and try to economize anything like
that extent.”
Backers of the proposal countered
with arguments that flood control
work would loose valuation, the Fed-
eral Government would spend much
money therefor and the State ulti-
mately would reap more revenue.
The senate received a resolution
from Senator Sulak of LaGrange
asking that legislators work free of
charge after Tuesday, when their pay
automatically drops from 810 to 85
a day. There were charges of “horse-
play” and the upper chamber by a
vote of 24 to 4 shunted the resolu-
tion to committee.
Tax remission bills passed to final
reading by the house were:
Remission to San Jacinto, Trinity,
Houston, Angelina, Sabine, San Au-
gustine, Jasper, Tyler, Walker and
Shelby counties in proportion to the
amount of land In those counties
purchased by the Federal Govern-
ment for reforestation purposes.
Extension for 20 years of a remis-
sion of San Patricio County taxes for
flood control in the county and the
seawall at Aransas Pass.
Remission to a large number of
school districts in all parts of the
State, the money to be used to re-
