RELIEF'S FATE

thought Vandenburg and Senator
Steiwer tR-Orel had made a good
analysis OF the measure.
A statement by Vandenburg that
the bill would permit the govern

assertion OF a White House caller
that the president Is determined 10
authorize no projects which would
result In such competition.
Mr.. Roosevelt's intentions were
