Total Sum Voted Is Three Billion, Seven Hundred, Twenty-three Million ALL RESTRICTIONS ARE VOTED DOWN Measure Goes to Confer- ence—Congress May Ad- journ Next Weekend BULLETIN—WASHINGTON, June 4.—Before passing the re- lief bill, the Senate amended it to permti of the PWA to allo- cate funds for Alaska projects. United States Senator Lewis B. Schwellenbach proposed the amendment, stating that Alaska faced an “extreme need for Federal relief because of the extreme unemployment in the canning industry.” WASHINGTON, June 4. — The Senate, at midnight last night pass- d the three billion seven hundred and twenty three million dollar spending and lending bill. The vote was 60 to 10, The enacting of the legislation gives President Roosevelt the purse strings. Only seven Republicans and three Democrats opposed the measure. Before the final vote was taken, opponents were completely routed and lost every attempt to write | General James A. Farley, and Chair- restrictions into the bill. The bill as passed gives the Presi- dent an entirely free hand in the disposition of the huge appropria- tion. Twice, the Senate, by a close vote, rejected proposals to forbid politi- cal activity by employees of em- ergency agencies but Administra- tion leaders always defeated the proposals, The Senate also defeated propos- als to earmark over half a billion dollars for specified purposes for PWA. The bill now goes to conference to adjust Senate and House dif- ferences. Majority Leader Barkley predicts that Congress will adjourn next week-end. - POLITICS TO GET BUBBLING IN NEW HAM Two Governors Are to Ad- dress State Young Re- publican Clubs HANOVER, N.
