Show 'BIGGER RELIEF FUND SOUGHT WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 iu: Senate progressives are maneuvering maneuv-ering today, to double President Roosevelt's $4, 880,000.000 recovery and relief appropriation. Sen. Robert M. LaFollette, Prog. Wis., is preparing such an amendment amend-ment which will attract a few progressive Democrat supporters and .several votes on the Republican Republi-can side. , But the lump sum asked by Mr. Roosevelt is proof against either increase or reduction. Democratic leaders are sure they can hold the appropriation to the precise figure named by the president. The LaFollette amendment will propose to appropriation of between be-tween $8,000,000,000 and $10,000,-000,000. |
