When President Roosevelt re-
turns from his Pacific Coast tour,
he will have $1,225,273,361 of the
$4,8s0, 100000 work relief fund left

to speed up the tagging program
designed to end direct relief.

While some $444,O0O, 900 of the
$1,225, ,273,361 has been "ear-
marked" for various departments
and agencies, officials pointed out
that "ear-marking," and even di-
rect allotment, does not necessar-
lily mean that the funds ultimately
will go to those agencies. For last
spring the President impounded
1852, 100000 of public works funds,
already allotted but not yet obli-
gated, and turned it over to Harry
