RELIEF BILL FACES
BATTLE IN SENATE
ON MAJOR POINTS
Republicans Demand Full
and Open Hearings on
Jobs Measure.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

President RooSevelt'S work relief bill,
carrying S4,880,000000. faces a brisk
| barage as it goes into the Senate.
Before the measure passes the up
/ per house efforts will be made to
amend it in many particulars. Ad-
ministration forces will have a fight
on their hands to beat off some of the
proposals. No gag rule is possible in
the Senate and whether the rule that
Legislation" is not in order on an
appropriation bill can be effectively
raised against some of the proposals
| under consideration by various Sem
| atorS is a question yet to be answered
AS was the case when the work re-
lief bill was about to come up in the
House, word came from the White
House yesterday that the President
himself would handle the work relief
appropriations.
Open Hearings Demanded.
Republicans of the Senate in a
conference yesterday determined to
ask for full and open hearings on
the bill.
The Appropriations Committee,
which is to handle the bill, has been
called by Chairman Carter Glass to
meet tomorrow at II am. The COM
mittee will decide then on the pro-
cedure to be followed The bill could
be handled by the full committee or
referred to a subcommittee. If Sem
ator Glass desires he can take charge
OF the bill. While he has not eX-
III l,a IL ie
understood that some of the provi-
sions of the bill as it passed the House
do not meet with his approval. SEN
ator ByrneS of South Carolina, strong
supporter of the administration and
the New Deal, is considered a likely
man to have charge of the measure
in committee and on the floor should
the Virginia Senator waive control.
Power Grant Faces Fight.
Here are some of the lines of at
tack developing against the House
bill:
Strenuous efforts will be made to
eliminate the extraordinary powers
granted the President. While the Re-
publicanS are likely to be divided on
ChC1 Oll tIlC
bill itself when the final vote comes,
it is expected they will stand united
in opposition to these grants of power
and that some Democrats will join
them.
The provision which authorizes the
President to make loans to needy in
dividuals is one of those that will be
attacked.
Another provision that gives the
power to the President to fix the COM
pensation of officials and workers en-
ployed in administering the work re-
lief fund, is the subject of criticism.
Efforts will be made to increase the
appropriation for work relief. Instead
of $4,880, 100000 amendments are un-
der consideration which would raise
the amount from $6,000000.000 to

|CKES AIDS IN CALL
FOR GRAND Jury
INQUIRY Of ?. v. A.
First Special Panel Since
Teapot Dome to Sift Graft
Charges February 6.

Based on information furnished
Federal prosecutors at the direction
OF Secretary IckeS, the first special
District grand jury since the Fall
Doheny Sinclair oil cases was sum-
moned yesterday to meet February 6
to investigate charges of graft in the
handling of P. w. A. funds.
One or more Public Works Admin
iStratiOn officials and a number of
private contractors, it is reported, are
alleged to be connected with the
charges which involve a $4,000, 600
project in Texas.
Secretary IckeS, who admitted his
own investigators had uncovered the
alleged graft, refused to identity the
project or TO say whether any public
works officials we're implicated
Other Jobs May Be Involved.
The grand jury investigation, he
said. is confined as far as l know to
the situation in Texas" Asked if any
other projects are likely involved, he
admitted that there may be ramifica-
tionS" as his agents have been inves-
tigating projects all over the country.
Although officials at P w. A. re-
fused to discuss the matter, it was
reported the contract for the Texas
project was withdrawn after investi-
gators assigned to the case by Secre-
tary Ickes had uncovered evidence of
an alleged conspiracy to defraud the
United States. 1t was said that 8
or 10 persons, including one present
Public Works Administration official
and at least one other who has since
resigned as chief engineer of the prof.
ect. are involved.
Further information disclosed last
night indicated that the graft charges
consist of changes allegedly made in
specifications for the project to reduce
construction costs, although actually
maintaining the original contract
prices. An agreement was said to have
existed among private contractors en-
gagged in the project to maintain a
high level of prices on materials. In
this way. certain P w. A. officials were
alleged to have received a 'cutback"
from contractors.

nett has assigned his assistant. John

to the grand jury. 1t is expected the
