LEADERS DRIVE
FOR ACTION
ON RELIEF
International News Service

Intent on whipping revolving
Democrats into line to eliminate
earmarking amendments totaling
$505, 100000, House leaders drove
for q final vote today on the ST.:
5000, 900. relief bill.

with heads Of three inSurgent
: blocS to withdraw amendments
setting aside $500, 900 900 for PWA,
$55,000,000 for flood and dust con-
troll and $50, OOO. 900 for roads.
COMPROMISES Not Made
Despite presidential Intervention
and . series of conferences with
insurgents by Rayburn over the
weekend, the bloc leaders today
asserted they had not accepted
any compromises offered by the
Administration.
Although Representatives Better
Cp0 of New York, heading the
PWA bloc, and Starnes CD of
Alabama, leading the flood con-
troll group, viewed the compromise
offers "aS satisfactory in some
measure" Representative Cart
wright CD Of Oklahoma, heading
highway advocates, called q Spe.
cal meeting Of the House Rules
Committee, which he heads, to
determine the course he would
adopt later on the House floor.
Proposals Offered
After q White House conference,
Rayburn had outlined the fol-
lowing proposals to Better and
, Starnes if they would withdraw
their earnnarking amendments:
Continuation Of PWA for an
other two years; Government
grants and loans on all PWA prof.
ectS where communities had
voted bond issues, and withdrawal
Of an executive order tying I'D the

ing fund.
Federal ALLEGATIONS for flood con.
tfol projects this year "equalling
if not in excess Of" the sum de-
n4anded by flood control advo-
