Byrnes Would Place
Relief Under New
Public Works Unit
States Population and
Unemployment Would
Be Busis of Grants

| BY the Associated Press. .
A centralized relief program under
a new Public Works Department
was proposed yesterday by Senator
Byrnes, Democrat, of South Caro-
lima.
The chairman of the Senate Un-
employment Committee introduced
a bill to establish the new depart
ment and turn over to 1t the w. p.
A., the P. w. A., the Public Buildings
Branch of the Treasury, the Public
Roads Bureau, the c. c. c. and the
National Youth Administration.
The Byrnes measure proposed,
however, radical change in the
method Of administering relief.
Under his plan direct relief grants
would be made to the States on the
basis Of population and unemploy-
ment. Local communities would be
required to bear at least third
the cost of all projects.
Survey of Actual Need.
Meantime, the Works Progress
Administration announced that in
accordance with provisions of the
emergency relief appropriation bill
1t was beginning a survey of the
actual need of every individual of
the w. P A.
The relief bill directed that the
survey be made with a view to
eliminating from the rolls those not
in actual need. Some Senators pre-
dicted thousands could be dropped.
Col. F. c. Harrington, w. P. A.
administrator, said it was hoped to
completed the investigation by the
first week in April. The reports will
show. he said, all family resources
and earnings of w. P. A. workers.
To Press for Hearings.
Senator Byrnes, who said he would
press for early hearings on his meas
ure, included in it provisions for
minimum old-age pensions of SIS a
month and minimum unemployment
compensation of IS a week.
The Senator said his program
could not be called an administra-
ton measure, but that it did include
some proposals advanced by admin
istration authorities.
Senator Byrnes conferred with Sec
retary Ickes regarding the program
Mr.. Ickes, who has been mentioned
as the possible head of a new pub
lie works department, was said to
have urged that some provision be
made to separate public works and
relief activities.

CONTROL
BEHIND VOTING

Observation-Disclosures
Roosevelt completed today a
draft of the interesting let
ter" in which he was expected
to denounce the senate for its
rejection of Judge Floyd II.
Roberts whom Mr.. Roosevelt
had nominated to the western
Virginia district bench. The
letter will be made public, per-
haps today.
Roosevelt promised TO send an
interesting letter to Roberts If the
senate rejected his nomination.
The vote against Roberts yester-
day was 70 to 8.
Roberts nomination and that of
former Rep. Thomas r. Amlie,
defeated Wisconsin Progressive,
for membership on the interstate
commerce commission have open
ed Washingtons battle royal for
control of the 1910 Democratic ma
tional convention.
Roberts was backed by Gov.
James II. Price and the New Deal
faction of Virginia Democrats. He
was opposed by Virginias sena-
tors, Carter Glass and Harry F.
Byrd, both of whom expect to help
nominate comparatively con-
sentative Democrat for president
next year.
The next test was expected
when the senate votes on the
nomination of Amlie, who is being
examined by subcommittee as
to his fitness to serve on the ICC.
