Notice to Gov. Pinckot.
In making public the ,oan the cor
poratiOn announced it had directed
Chairman Pomerene to notify Gcv
Pinchot that the directors would hesi-
tate to give favorable consideration to
any further applications from him until
the State or its various Political sub
divisions have taken additional action
to meet the emergency needs of the
people OF the State
The boards action followed a visit to
Washington last week by Gov. Pinchot,
who went before the board and endeav-
ored to induce the directors to tell him
how much money Pennsylvania might
expect from the corporation between
now and April l. PinChot's reason was
that the State relief funds had been
budgeted month by month for the Win
ter and he wanted to know how much
Federal funds would be available SO a
proper budget could be made.
In making these funds available"
he announcement said. the corporation
recognizes the accomplishments of the
State, its local political subdivisions
and private contributors, in the efforts
to meet emergency relief needs in Penn
sylvania. However. in view of the
@1oi, i,o+1 1f I1 01i of
and construction act that relief funds
provided shall not be in lieu of funds
which can be made available by the
various States and their subdivisions.
but are to be supplemental thereto, the
corporation directed Chairman Pome-
rene to notify the Governor of its
position.
Need of State Action.
The need of further action by the
State and political subdivisions at the
earliest possible moment is apparent
when it is realized that the support
ing information supplied by the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania. and which forms
the basis Of the application for Federal
funds for November, shows that ap-
proximately one-siXth of all families
in the State mot including those re-
ceiving only Red Cross -four are in
need of relief and that Federal funds
are necessary to supplement local and
State funds in 63 of the 81 counties
of the State.
The Importance of early action is
also emphasized by the statement made
bv the Governor in the hearing before
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation
on October % to the effect that any
action of the Legislature meeting IN
January would not be effective in pro-
viding relief before April l.
The information supplied by the
Governor OF Pennsylvania places the re-
lief need in 63 counties for the month
of November as S9,348800. To meet
this estimated need it was stated that
S3,886,535 is available from funds now
on hand, of which S1,251 ,040 is from
previous allocations by the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation, S1,442,171
from State funds and S1,193,324 from
local governmental funds and private
contributions and other sources.
Extent of U. S. Aid.
With the funds made available by
the action of the corporation today and
the balance of 81 ,251 .040 on hand from
previous ALLEGATIONS, it will be seen that
Federal funds are depended upon to
meet 72 per cent of Pennsylvania
relief need in the 63 counties during
November, while State funds will supply
Is per cent and 13 per cent will come
from local governmental funds, private
contributions and all other sources"
The corporation previously had loaned
PENNSYLVANIA s5,842,18 to meet relief
needs.
