IWU BILLIONS Ant SOUGHT FOR GWA Republicans And Independent Democrats Ask Increase So May Operate Another Year Washington,. Feb 6.?The same group of Republican and Democrat ic Independents who started the ball rolling lor outright' federal relief grants to the states today Initiated steps to boost the pending appro priation for civil works to $2,080, OOQ.OOO. but Democratic leaders held qut little hppe for the Increase. Sena tar Cutting fR? N, M.) was said by his associates to be ready to offer an amendment to the house $960,000,000 civil works relief bill to Increase the total to $2,500,600,000, with $2,000,000,000 going for opera tion of civil wt>rks another year and the remainder for relief grants to' states. Senators LaFolletto (?., Wis.) and'. Costigan (D., Colo.* said they would I support the Increase. Robinson Opthnistlc However, Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the majority leader, pre dicted to newspapermen that the $960,000,000 appropriation would lie approved without change. parry L. Hopkins, the relief ad ministrator, told the senate appro priations committee this week that about $450,0001)00 would be suffi cient to carry on the civil works program up to May 1 and that $600, 000,000 would permit a continuance J of the relief cntributions for some time to come. It is the administration's hope that by May 1 or a little later busi ness and industry will have ab proved sufficiently to absorb most of the 4,000,000 employed by civil works. Threats to increase the civil works fund forced house leaders to resort to a method of procedure that pre vented members from offering amendments when the approprla- , tion measure was Ifefore the house v" yesterday. With these amendments held off. the bill was passed by a ? I vote of 382 to one.
