A series of mass demonstrations will be held throughout the coun- try May 22 in protest against Presi- dent Roosevelt’s proposal to cut re- lief appropriations, according to David Lasser, president of the Workers' Al- liance of America. In an open letter to members of Congress the alliance declared, “The | millions of Americans who are af- expected to submit patiently to ad ine creasingly intolerable situation.” . Lasser urged Congress members to support a relief bill providing $3,000,- 000,000, instead of the $1,500,000,000 recommended by President Roosevelt. “On reading the President’s mes- sage, if I had not known who had written it,” Lasser said, "I certainly would have felt that it was a state~ ment of the United States Chamber of Commerce or perhaps of Senator Vandenberg of Michigan.” PONTIAC Sixes & Eights IMMEDIATE DELIVERY Flood Motor Co.
