WASHINGTON, Jan. l6. - BY
passage Of the reconstruction COR
poration bill congress has supplied
two billion dollars credit as a
starter for President Hoover's fl
nancial relief program, which as q
whole embraces basic credit OF
several billions.
Many billions more of potential
credit lies in this bill and other
pending measures of the Presi-
dents program, together with the
additional refreshing stream fur
nished by the federal reserve board
In its new easy money" policy,
for credit Of this sort expands as
II circulatca outward in various
channels.
Approval of the Presidents en-
tire program, designed to help the
farmer. the home owner and the
depositor in insolvent banks-and
1t appears most Of 1t will be sane
toned by congress-should act TO
thaw the country's frozen financial
mechanism. 1t is hoped a busi-
ness revival will result.
Final congressional action on the
reconstruction corporation bill,
which the house passed, 355 to SIS,
will not be possible until next
week. This delay WAS caused by
insistence Of the house upon its
own BILL which differs slightly
from that passed Monday by the
senate
The house was In recess today
after five days OF continuous work
on the relief measure. Working
like a giant battering ram, an cf-
fective Republican-Democratic coal
ition Knocked down amendments
yesterday MS they were offered by
dissenting group in each party,
who then voted against the meas
ure In protest. A dozen Republi-
cans and 43 Democrats refused to
support it.

Government salaries in excess Of
