tions Committee, today predicted
defeat for the movement for a new
$7OO, 200. 900 PWA fund.
Although the presidential bud
get made no provision for a PWA
fund, House bloc Is circulating
petitions seeking its continuation
with promise to line UP a majority
Of the House.
Buchanan declared that Secre.
tary Of Interior Ickes, as public
works administrator, will be able
to carry on some activities by sale
Of securities Of States, counties
and cities which were given to the
Government as q part Of PWA
financing. He said:
"The PWA organization won't
have to be dismantIed right
away. Secretary Ickes was given
authority by Congress to sell
securities he gets from com.
munities to establish a revolving
fund. Millions have been sold
but others remain.
"But IL more money Is not
provided for PWA the Organiza-
ton ought to be trimmed down.
Some Of these organizations have
got to 60. As the country re-
turns to prosperity we have got
to get hack TO Q place where
government costs $500, OOO, 900
to $5,O00,0OO,0OO = year."
Regular annuai appropriation
bills, Buchanan asserted, carry
over $500, 900, 900 for public works
projects. They are to be ad
ministered by regular agencies
such as the Army and Treasury
and not by Ickes' PWA organiza,
ton.
