The Democratic unemployment relief
bill. providing for $5O0,000,Oo0 public
works bond issue was approved today
by the Senate Banking Committee,
which shortly before had voted down
the administration proposal for loans
through the Reconstruction Corporation
to private industry.
Meanwhile. Speaker Gamers giant
relief plan faced stone wall in the
Senate. and a prediction Of veto by
President Hoover If enacted was made
by Representative Tilson Of Connecticut
The bill passed the House yesterday by
a 2l6-to-182 vote.
Competition Clause Out.
In approving the Democratic bill. the
Senate Banking Committee voted to
eliminate provision for loans to COM
peting private industries. The bill pro-
vides for increasing the borrowing
paper OF the Reconstruction Corpora
ton by 81 500 900, 900 for loans on self
liquidatlng construction projects.
The committee vote was Z to 4 in
favor of the Democratic bill, including
the DOnQ issue program.
Provision was retained in the bill for
ALLEGATION of s40000,0O0 from the Re
construction Corporation for financing
agricultural exports.
The committee voted 9 to against
the administration proposal strongly
recommended yesterday by Secretary
Mills for loans to private industry on
f-liquidating construction projects.
This was a feature Of the Barbour
relief bill, but was not included in the
Democratic relief program introduced
by Senator Wagner of New York.
Representative Tilson said he was
sure a veto awaited the Garner
measure, If it should reach the White
House.
The former majority leader made his
statement after talking to President
Hoover. but said he had not asked the
President what he would do If the bill
should pass Congress.
The Chief Executive, however, has
already assailed the bond-issue phase
Of the Garner bill In singing language,
calling it PORK barrel" measure.
Relief Situation Talked.
Tilson said he discussed the relief
situation with the President and told
the Chief Executive he was pleased
with the large vote against the Garner
bill
The Connecticut Republican added
that he believed the measure in its
present form would not get through
the Senate
Leaders of both parties in the Senate
sought instead immediate passage of the
non controversial bill permitting the
Reconstruction Corporate to lend up
to $500 100000 to States for relief pur-
poses This was just one section Of
the Senate Democratic relief program,
the remainder involving the s500,000.-
900 bond issue for public works and a
81 200, 100000 expansion of the recon-
struction units capital, being left for
later consideration.
The Garner plan was put through by
an almost solid Democratic House vote
with the aid Of some insurgent Repub-
licanS.
Needing President Hoover's denun-
citation of the bill, all but 81 of the
Republicans voted against it. Though
the outcome was inevitable. they tried
but lost before this an attempt to re-
commit the bill and have the Presi-
dents relief program substituted for
that of the Speaker.
Picturing to President Hoover the
growing seriousness of the unemploy-
ment situation. the mayors of five
cities and spokesman for two others
today laid before the President petit
ton urging a billion dollar Federal
prosperity loan to provide employment
and to bring direct aid to those in
want.
The petition was presented to Mr.
Hoover on behalf of the mayors of 81
cities who adopted it at a conference
last week in Detroit.
Mayor Frank Murphy Of Detroit said
that the Presidents plan. which pro-
vides for 300,000,000 for direct relief
