I :? . i Roosevelt Plans to ProtMe Work; Begins Home Trip Quick Passage of Spend ing - Lending Legisla tion In Original Form Assure^. Washington, May 10. ? President Roosevelt's multi-billion-dollar recov ery program started through the House today, praised by Democrats as a means of providing 5,000,000 jobs in the next fiscal year, and attacked sharply by Republicans as a step to ward a "wild spending orgy." Passage in substantially its present form and without delay was assured when the appropriations committee earmarked the gigantic fund to pla cate anti-New Deal Democrats who feared it might be used in reprisal against them at the polls in the No vember elections. Leaders hope to enact the bill the latter part of the week or the first of next. As thrust before the lower cham ber, the measure calls for appropria tions of $2,519,425,000 and authoriza tion of $85,000,000. Other provisions in the spending-lending program, al ready approved or pending in Con gress, will bring the total of the ad ministration's latest campaign against the depression to $5,041,425,000 in stead of the $4,512,000,000 originally estimated by the President. Opening of 10 hours of House de bate on the program was one of sev eral developments in the business situation, including: 1. Chairman William O. Douglas of the Securities and Exchange Com mission was disclosed to have con ferred with the heads of powerful public utility companies looking to ward the amicable adjustment of dif ferences arising in the administra tion of the utility "death sentence" act. 2. Administration leaders studied a demand by Philip Murray, first lieutenant of John L. Lewis, head of the Committee -for Industrial Organ ization, that the President call a con ference of industrial, financial, labor, agricultural and government leaders to "lead the nation out of the wilder ness." 3. The proposal to allow the Ke construction Finance Corp., to make liberal loans to aid financially dis tressed railroads faced indefinite de lay in the House as its banking and currency committee postponed action to study protests by bondholders com mittees and other groups. 4. Public Works Administrator Harold L. Ickes, anticipating passage of the new recovery measure which gives his agency $1,000,000,000 and relieves the *500,000,000 WPA re volving fond, informed PWA regional offices to notify municipalities and other public bodies to submit applica tions immediately for new projects. 5. Associate General Counsel Jas. A. Emery of the National Associa tion of Manufacturers opposed tight ening of the Wagner Labor Act be fore a House Judiciary sub-commit tee, warning that the nation is fac ing a worse economic debacle than it confronted in 1929. & The Senate Finance Committee reported a bill which would remove the $2&ft00fi00 ceiling on the issuance of government bonds. It was request ed by Secretary of the Treasury Hen ry Morgenthao, Jr., to economize in federal financing. ' 7. The House adopted unanimous ly a joint resolution appropriating $2,500,000 to the Social Security Board for administration at state un employment compensation in 1988. fa reporting the spending-lending j bill, the Appropriations Committee gave this break-down on the number of jobs it would create in the next [ fiscal year: Works Progress Administration, 2, 800^09; National Tooth Administra tion, 275,000; Federal Buildings, 60, 000; Public Works Administration, I f 000,060, to make * total of 4,135,000. To this total the committee added 300,000 yoad|| in Civilian Conserva tion Corps camps and an additional 500,000 jobs which would be created by public roads, parks and flood con trol work. ?
