Debates For (U.R) Senate Majority Leader senate today that president reconstruct power plants which would compete with existing pri vate facilities. The senate debated the PWA power issue after increasing the spending-lending bill total to $3,-422,000,000 $3,-422,000,000 by boosting the PWA appropriation by $100,ooo,uuu. Stand Outlined Barklev made plain that while Mr. Roosevelt opposed duplication of power facilities, he would autn-orize autn-orize PWA projects in the instances in-stances where an offer made "in good faith" by a municipality to purchase private plant at a reasonable rea-sonable price was rejected. The $100,000,000 PWA fund was restored to the bill by senate vote after it had been placed in the measure by the house and then eliminated by the senate appropriations appropri-ations committee. The senate thus far has made these major additions to the recovery re-covery bill: Farm parity payments $212-000,000; $212-000,000; rural electrification, $75,000000 (additional) ; PWA $100,000,000 (additional). .

The senate changes carried the prospect of a possible bitter house- senate conference row over the new provisions. Rep. Clifton Wood rum, D., Va., floor manager of the measure in the house, said he opposed the $212,000,000 par ity payment provision and indi cated he might also oppose the senate's $125,000,000 allotment for direct relief purposes. Wood rum asserted that "this is a relief bill, not a farm bill." and said he did not believe the parity amendment accorded with President Roosevelt's wishes.
