RELIEF BILLAS IT IS NOW

SENATOR REYNOLDS E \

PLAINS THE STATUS OF ACi

OVER WHICH CONGRESS

WRESTLES?SENTIMENT OF

COUNTRY DESIRED BY CON-

GRESS.

R.gardless of the final amount

of the iclief bill now pending in,i

Congress, and regardless of the-method finally approved

for the distribution of relief ?.

funds, the current legislative

battles over this measure are cer-

tain to influence virtually all leg-1

islation during the present ses-

sion of Congress. Thus an under-

standing of the basic issues in!these battles in the House and!Senate are desirable for those jfollowing the course of this andother legislation.

At the outset, the President re-

commended a total of $1,500,00V-

-000 for various relief activities.

This amount was promptly

challenged Some members of

the Congress favored doubling

that amount and others sought a

drastic slash. Therefore, the

early stages of the controversy

over the relief bill was markedby differences of opinion between

those seeking larger relief fundsand those advocating strict econ-

omy and a balanced budget.

As the measure finally emerg-

ed from the House Committee, it

carried the full amount recom-

mended by the President, and re-

presented a compromise in the

House between advocates of

spending and those seekirTdrastic slashes in relief funds.

It is significant that strong

supporters of the President are,

found enlisted with both groups. '

However, when the bill reach- jed the floor of the Kouse, consj.d- jerr bio s-n'.intent was found for

ear marking large sums, that is.writing i»to the bill Congressio-nal decree as to how certainmonbs are to be expended. It'was promptly contended that jthis would defeat the purpose of

the relief bill by rendering itpossible for tho9o administeringrelief to meet new emergencies

ss they may come. An intensive'battle over this issue is in prog- 1'ress in the House as this article'is being written.

tye*ortheless, the significanceof th? controversy can bo irrasp-ed. It toils down t 0 an oft-re-peated question. Do the groat

majority of our people wantmore relief and the prospect of

more taxes, or d 0 they want a

real beginning toward economy?After all, only voters and tax-

payers should decide that quest-

ion and the Congress is anxious ,for the decision.

Of course, it is comparatively

easy to find the sentiment of,particular sections of the

country and particular states. !

But what is needed is facts as

to what procedure is best for our

ns a whole. It lg differ-

ences of opinion on that score

Club Organizedi

On account of the secondaiyDanbury team's unbroken safesof v'ctorics, nad because its con-tinued run cf success offers aserious menace to all baseballteams of the county, it wasthought advisable to organize the

Seven Island team as a check-mate to the ambitions of the Dn n-

I bury players, who have becomeI supercilious and arrogant, tl.ink-

jing themselves invincible.Accordingly, the Seven Island

team, all of whom are star play-ers, has been set up as follows:

Manager?Jasper Bowman.! Pitcher?Mick East.

Catcher?Morris Thornton.

I First Base?Cray Tilley.

! Second Ease?Jim Manuel.| Third Base?Joe Henry Bullen.j Right Field?John Jackson.

I Center Field?Morris Yarbro.j Left Field?Bill Mounce.

Short Stop?Charley Cromer,

j Umpire?Sanders Mabe.

that underlines the current legis-lative skirmishes.

One of the most hopefulis the fact that increasing ex-

penditures require increasing re-

venue. We cannot spenj andeconomize a' fhe same time. Wecan not build largo public works!in one section of the country and j

i i. tell another section that fun eta

are not available for their publ'c i?works. And, as the Congress

i tries t0 strike a happy medium

as summer approaches in Wash-

ington, and members of Cong-

ress dig in for another three

? 'months of sessions, it is apparent

that final action on the relief bill

may offer a key to the whole:i

, legislative situation,
