R.E.C. TOF|NANCE
RELIEF TILL FALL
Position Held Excellent for
Use of Funds as Prof.
ects Are Listed.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AS the preface to a $4,000. 900 900
drive against unemployment. the ad-
ministration yesterday reached toward
the Golfers of the r. F. C. funds to
finance its next major effort-the
transition from dole to work relief.
That agency has nearly two billion
dollars of unexpended cash. Nearly
half that sum is soon to be diverted to
the relief program. That much will
keep it going until next November.
BY then, administration leaders ex-
pressed hope that the new system of
providing jobs for the unemployed on
public works projects of widely va
ried nature may be we'll advanced.
Direct Appropriations.
The latter will be financed by di-
rect appropriations, with the total cost
between the present time and the end
OF the next fiscal year, June 30. 1886,
expected to run close to five billions.
Describing the plan to Democratic
congressional leaders. President Roose-
welt Friday night roughly estimated
the expense involved in the work-re-
lief program at four billions, this in
addition to $3.50, ,G0O, 900 to come from
the r. F. C. for the tide-over period.
The Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration is to disappear and be
supplanted by a new authority COM
bining its functions with that of the
Public Works Administration.
,F
Harry Hopkins and Secretary Ickes,
are to be prominent in the direction
of the new authorities, but the exact
set-up has still to be announced.
Working both together and indi-
vidually, the two, whose ideas follow
the same general pattern, have evolved
plans by which they hope to get the
new plan into operation both smoothly
and expeditiously.
List Of Projects Compiled.
Among other things they already
have compiled list of the projects to
be undertaken-ranging from preven-
tion of soil erosion to slum clearance,
road building and the like.
The situation arising from the
merger of the two administrations has
aroused much speculation in Wash
ington over which Of the two admin
istrators will be placed in command,
or whether both will have membership
in a controlling advisory board.
The r. F. c. has an unspent total
of 1901 ,959. 9.126. Its old loans are
being repaid ut q rate which exceeds
its new advances. Since last June 1t
has received $49, 900 more than 1t
has paid out in new loans. That trend
is continuing.
Thus the corporation Is held to be
in excellent position to finance the re-
lief program until Fall. 1t already
has advanced $372, ,000,0 900 to the re-
lief corporation since the fiscal year
began.
