The Senate voted yesterday to
make $35, ,00O, 900 available to States,
counties and cities for advance
planning of postwar public works.
The action came after sharp dis
putes over what constitutes econ
omy.
Senator Russell, Democrat, OF
Georgia led a successful attack on
q proposal by Senator La Toilette,
Progressive, of Wisconsin, to raise
the sum to $75. 600, 900, but lost q
fight to require recipients of Fed
|eral money to match it dollar for
dollar.
The time consumed in debate
delayed until today vote on q
proposal by Senator Mcclellan,
Democrat. of Tennessee to REQUIRE
the Tennessee Valley Authority to
operate entirely on congressional
appropriations.
He said he would seek to suspend
the rules to take up the proposal
as an amendment to the independ-
ent ofnces appropriations bill. to
which the postwar planning pro-
posal was added.
