The group, which had asked a federal expenditure of $2,200,000,000, declared the smaller sum would last only from July until Feb- ruary unless works progress Q‘dministration policy is re- ised.

Senator Byrnes (D., S. C.) and others have demanded that relief costs be reduced to an even billion dollars. The relief appropriation | was only one phase of general econ- omy debate. Speaker Bankhead said Mr. Roosevelt had approved a suggestion for-impounding 15 per gent. of all appropriations for next year, to be used only when the president found need for it. This was considered an alterna- tive to Byrnes's proposal for a flat 10 per cent. cut in all federal ap- propriations.
