The entire subject Of relief will

Olson to carry the dole until June

relief message of January and his
second request for $150,OooOOO in

Congress so far has ignored that
request and the president by his
message today sought to spur it

He declared that new studies of
the relief and unemployment prob

that $l50,000,000 more is needed.
Mr. Roosevelt sought to place
upon congress the responsibility for
reduction of relief rolls that would
result from any cut in his appro-
priation request. He emphasized his
belief that a sharp reduction in
WPA rolls at this time would harm
economic recovery and the pros
perity of small businessmen.
