MI. Roosevelt advised congress
there had been no substantial

tions since his original relief mes
sage of January and his second
request for $3.50, 600. 900 In Feb
ruary
Congress so far has ignored that
request and the president by his
message today sought TO spur IT
to action.
lie declared that new studies

ment problem supported fully

Mr.. Roosevelt sought 10 place
upon congress the responsibility
for reduction of relief rolls that
would result from any cut IN his
