Senate Committee
Clears Path for
Relief Compromise
Proposal Would Allocate
366 Millions to WPA
For Next Two Months

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.
(UP)-A senate appropria-
tions subcommittee today
cleared the way for consider
alton before nightfall of a
compromise proposal to give WPA
a 1886 100000 Appropriation to carry
100000 needy on its rolls for two
months more.
The committee will act upon the
proposal at meeting this after
noon. The temporary appropriation
has been proposed as a compromise
between President Roosevelt who
asked 1915, 100000 to run WPA to
June 80 and economy minded con-
gressmen who wish to cut the figure
by $150,0O0,000
Sentiment for the compromise
appeared to be increasing rapidly
in the senate. Coincidentally, it was
revealed that the White House has
been replying to inquiries concern
ing relief with a letter placing
blame on congress 1or any reduc-
ton that may be made.
The sub committee considered
minor amendments at its first meet
ing today.
Chairman Alva B. Adams, D..
Colo, refused to make public ac-
ton on amendments until consider
alton of the entire bill is completed
1t was understood the sub-com-
mittee voted to eliminate a house
amendment denying relief to aliens
who have not applied for United

This is one of the few public
boards we have ever seen," said
one editor, "in which business ad-
ministration is actually practiced,
It should never be allowed to be-

speaker was Democrat.
The news mems action, which

of $4,000 to cash balance Of

years ago, to guarantee that the

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.
(UP) = President Roosevelt
today said he favored the
pending bill authorizing con-
struction of naval base faci-
lities at Guam, the far Pacific is
land that is within 1900 miles OF
Tokyo.
The Guam project is one of IL

sos 100000 under a measure intro
duced in the house and senate
yesterday by the chairman of nava,
affairs committee of both chambers.
Mr.. Roosevelt pointed out that

ton, not an appropriation. Naval
authorities said that under the
authorization they proposed inn
provements costing approximately
$5 100000.
The Guam project has drawn
vigorous criticism from Japanese

constitute a threat upon their
flank. Some congressional criticism
Of the proposal has also been
voiced

fLdlp sOWlllS VI otll oci lIdl eiiiiO'
The bill was introduced as a re-
suit of extensive agitation in SOUTH
ern California against supporting
of aliens with tax funds. State Re-
lief Administrator H. Dewey An
derson reported recently that six
per cent of the states total relief
load were aliens, most of them
living in southern California.
The effect of the bill is to give
deportable aliens the privilege OF
free ride home or a voluntary,
self-imposed starving death and a
free burial in a pauper's grave,
unless the relief administrator
comes to their rescue and extends
aid as an act of charity and mer-
cy,' Swing said.
The San Bernardino senator
pointed out that under present law
all persons are aliens who are not
in fact citizens, yet many persons
of foreign birth have declared their
intention to become citizens but
have not attained full citizenship.
He said his bill met that problem
by requiring the removal from re-
lief rolls of all aliens who should
in fact be deported.
The assembly rules committee
today announced that next We'd
nesday had been set tentatively
for the interim recess. The COVER
nor's budget is due Monday and
