ON NEW SPENDING PLAN
Washington, April 18. Republi
cans came out in the open today and
viciously attacked President Roose
velt's $4,500,000,000 relief -recovery
program.
This is the first time in several
months that the minority party mem
bers have been willing to take the
lead, usually using the strategy of
letting anti-new deal Democrats direct
the assaults on administration measures.
Senator Author Vandenberg (R
Mich.), assisted by Republican party
-chairman John Hamilton, criticized
the huge appropriations in radio ad
dresses last night.
Hamilton, rebutting President
Roosevelt's last "fireside chat," insist
ed that the President was more con
cerned in "priming the polls" for the
November congressional contests than
in "priming the pumps of recovery."
