Protest Senator's Vote on Slashing Presidents
 WPA Appropriation

A committee, with Salvatore Bos- co chairman, was named last night by the Workers Alliance to wait on Miss Grace L. White, superintend- ent of welfare, in the matter of re- turning to relief rolls Pll WPA work CTS laid off last December. Coinci- dentally, the group sent letter to Senator John A. Danaher, signed by Chairman Frank Norman, pro- testing the vote against the Pres ident's proposed relief appropria- ton, as follows:
 "As a result of your one vote, the workers of this state are being faced with increased unemployment. This means that this winter there will be hardship and suffering for the needy unemployed and their fam flies. Tn the last election, you ran on a slogan that promised job for every family. Yet because of your opposition to President Roosevelt's deficiency appropriation, you have betrayed your original promise.
 "The Workers Alliance of Water bury vigorously protests your action. and urges that you do everything possible for an additional appropri- ation that would raise the present sum to S75 million dollars.
 We would appreciate an acknow- ledgment of this letter"

Leahy Choice for
Navy Cabinet Post
Meets DeniaIs

WASHINGTON, June 5. CUP)-
Some administration officials today
discounted rumorS that Admiral
William D. Leahy may be the next
secretary of navy and asserted the
retiring chief of naval operations
will become governor of Puerto
Rico under plans announced last
month by President.
None would be quoted directly,
however.
Rumors that Leahy may be named
secretary of navy to succeed all
ing Claude Swanson circulated
through usually well informed cir
Giles here for several days.
Mr.. Roosevelt had announced
definite plans to send Leahy TO
Puerto Rico and has given no pub
lie indication of changing that in
tention. If that plan is carried
through. it was believed that Lea
hy's name would be sent to the
senate for confirmation as Puerto
Rican governor as soon as the
present governor. II year old Blan-
ton WinShip submits his resigna-

Whereas the county board of

Therefore be it recommended TO

authority to establish feasible pro-
duction projects to produce what
relief clients are able to produce
for their own consumption, with
as little cash as possible, in view
of cutting down future appropria-
tionS for relief.
The legislature eliminated the
relief item from the budget for
separate handling, with Republi-
cans leading a move TO earmark
it so tightly that experimentation
will be impossible.

approve any relief bill substantially
