HENDERSON, N. C„ WEDNESDAY' AFTERNO ON, APRIL 5, 1939 SIOO MiHion Senate Committee Unanimous in Favor ing That Sum as Against Larger Amount Asked b y President o£ Congress Washington, April S.—(AP) —A Senate appropriations sub-commit tee voted unanimously today to re commend a $100,000,000 relief ap propriation. That sum was voted by the House, after President Roose velt hi ad requested $150,000,000. Members of the sub-committee said the $100,000,000 allotment would receive general support from j both administration supporters and 1 economy bloc senators. Administra ] tion floor leaders previously had | sought a compromise $125,000,000 appropriation, but economy-minded senators refused to support such an allocation. The full appropriations commit tee was to act on the relief allot ment late today and it was expected to come before the Senate tomor row. The House voted, meanwhile, to give its appropriation committee $25,000 for expenses of a “thorough investigation” of the Works Prog ress Administration. Well-informed senators said that President Roosevelt, vacationing at Warm Springs, Ga., has been keep ing hands off the relief fight. They 1 • ’d he stood by an earlier state ! ment that if Congress wanted to reduce the appropriation, it must take the responsibility for any suf j sering that might result. !
