OVER RELIEF
Showdown Demanded
By New Deal’s Foes
j.Likely to Come Up
This Session
.1
_
WASHINGTON May 7. (;P>— A
showdown fight over relief perhaps
the last of the major issues to come
to vote this session began Thurs-
day on Capitol Hill.
As leaders convened the house
to debate President Roosevelt’s re-
quest for $1500000000 for relief for
the next fiscal year republicans
raised a concerted demand that
WPA be dismantled and replaced
with a system of federal grants to
states.
Administration leaders however
expressed confidence that the fund
contained in a deficiency bill of
more than $2000000000 would pass
the house this week or early next.
Under the leadership of Rep.
Snell (R-NY) about fifty house re-
publicans held a two-hour caucus
Wednesday night after which Snell
read to newspapermen Jhis state-
ment of their position :
“1—We believe in adequate ap-
propriations for the relief of the
suffering and needy people in every
community.
2“—We demand that the distribu-
tion of relief funds be immediately
divorced from political control.
”3—We advocate that all relief
funds as far as the federal govern-
ment is concerned should be by
grants to the several states and ad-
ministered by non-partisan commit-
tees in local communities.
"4—We believe this program of
administering relief will save from
twenty-five to fifty per cent of
present expenditures and result in
more adequate and efficient relief
of needy and deserving citizens.”
Two New York representatives
prepared to make an attempt to put
this program through. Rep. Taber
of the appropriations committee
planned to offer an amendment
providing for the grants to states
while Rep. Bacon was to submit the
amendment to outlaw what the
caucus termed ‘‘political control.”
Flashes of Life
(By The Associated Press)
In Again Out Again
FORT MYERS. Fla.—W. Asby
Jones has caught twenty-eight-
tarpon but he’d rather tell about
the one that caught itself and
4hen escaped. .

eighty pounds jumped into his
boat. Jones and his guide scram-
bled for safety as the big fellow
thrashed around — and finally
flipped itself back into the water.
No Spinach!

rant and announced he was hun-
gry.
He proved it by eating seventeen
steaks and thirty-four rolls and
drinking fourteen bottles of beer

care for vegetables.
