BY the Associated Press.
The conference agreement on the
S4,880, 100000 work-relief program
was approved today by the House.
The vote for approval was an
nourced as 317 to 10.
Senate action alone remained to
speed the bill to President Roosevelt.
Only an hours debate preceded
House acceptance of the conference
report containing the compromise
agreement on the controversial work
issue in the provision allocating $780,
100000 for non-Federal projects.
House clerks prepared Immediately
to carry the huge money bill to the
other end of the Capitol, where Sem
ate leaders waited to press its approval.
Democratic chiefs obviously were
pleased at the compromise" reached
over the provision which would have
required that third of the $780,
100000 allocated for non Federal prof.
ects should go to direct work"
They were particularly pleased that
the work requirement had been re-
duced to 25 per cent and the word
direct eliminated, claiming there
were very few types of projects on
which indirect" work would not ex-
coed that figure.
Short Condemns Bill.
Before the House voted it heard
Representative Short, Republican. Of
Missouri describe the bill as "putrid,
rotten and foul" Short followed Rep
resentative Taber, Republican, Of New
York, who contended the object of
this bill is to have projects under way
a year from next Summer, when they
can have an effect on the election"
Taber quoted from what he de-
scribed as a Democratic campaign
paper" named the Window Seat" this
statement. In connection with the bill:
Don't forget that this expenditure
will practically assure President
Roosevelt's reelection"
There were some Democratic hand
claps when he read that sentence, but
no one interrupted him as Taber
added:
That is the object of this bill. It's
raw: raw"
He claimed, too, that I'VE are going
to be assured of incompetent admin
istration" because Harry L. Hopkins,
relief administrator; Secretary Ickes
and Rexford Guy Tugwell, Under
secretary of Agriculture, would have
o hand in it.
After the Senate acts, the bill prob
ably will be placed aboard an airplane
and sent southwark for President
Roosevelt's signature.
Funds Near Exhaustion.
Sending the completed measure
by plane to the President, who is fish
ing off the coast of Florida, was pro-
posed because existing relief funds are
described as near exhaustion. Harry
L. Hopkins, relief administrator, said
yesterday his organization had only
enough money to last the rest of this

ton, to which Mellon already has

lures, came while the 80-year-old

Union Trust Co. in 1881 and claimed

claims, was a shadow sale" to evade
tax payments.
After reading copy of the bureau
ruling on the art gallery, Frank j.
Hogan, Melons chief counsel, said:
There's nothing strange. new or
surprising about this. It's simply
part and parcel of the political perse-
cution that has motivated the whole
Mellon case"
The possibility of q further tax
appeal involving millions of dollars
was limited by a close associate of
the former Treasury Secretary, add
ing the whole plan for a national
art gallery might be placed in "seri-
GUS jeopardy" If the courts upheld
the decision.
