RELIEF MEASURE
 COMES THURSDAY

Washington, May 6 (UP)-Speak- CT Joseph w. ByrnS announced to- day the $2,300, 100000 relief-deh- ciency bill will be brought up for action in the house Thursday in a drive toward clearing the house calendar of administration must bills.
 The relief measure will be brought up under rule limiting debate to six or eight hours, he said, in the hope that the bill can be passed on to the senate by next Tuesday.
 Byrns' announcement appeared likely to cast cold water on the drive of house block to earmark Q portion of the $l,500, 100000 relief fund provided in the bill for PWA projects,
 They were continuing their cam paign, however. President William Green of the American Federation of Labor visited President Roose- welt today and placed the support of the Federation behind the PWA drive.
 Passage of the relief deficiency bill will leave the house slate clear of all major bills. Only final action on a number of supply measures which the house has in dispute with the senate will remain.
