WASHINGTON. May H. (AP)
Strong sentiment developed Id the
senate appropriations committee to
day to give President Roosevelt
unrestricted control over the $3,164,
000.000 relief public works program.
As passed by the house, the meas
ure would appropriate funds direct
to lending and spending agencies
Instead of to the president. Mr.
Roosevelt would retain authority to
approve or veto projects, however. ,
Chairman Adams (D., Colo.) of a
senate subcommittee handling the
bill, said he favored making the
appropriations to the chief executive,
as has been done In the paat.
Under this system, the president
would have authority to allocate
funds to various agencies as he saw
fit.
"I think that someone should be
responsible for the spending of this
money," Adams told reporters. "If
the president la to be responsible,
he must have authority to control
the funds." .
Senator Byrd (D., Va.) leading
coalition of. Republicans and con
servative Democrats seeking changes
In the lendlng-spendlng program, said
he thought appropriations should be
made directly to the agencies and
that the president's power to approve
or veto projects should be eliminated.
Byrd and his associates hope to
striva public works or "pump-prim
Ing" features- from the bill, reducing
lta total by about one-half.
While senate interest centered to
day on the relief bill, rumors
curred that Mr. Roosevelt would seek
reconsideration at this session of his
government reorganisation bill, which
has been pigeonholed in the house.
Senator Burke (D.. Neb.), a foe of
the measure, declared: "We'll be here
until the snow fliea If the reorgan
ization fight starts again."

When he colled to inquire how Mrs. Tucker liked her new outo
matic electric water heater, he was met with the usual enthusiastic
response. And no wonder. Not only do Mr. and Mrs. Tucker
receive perfect, continuous, hot water service night and day for
themselves, but In addition eight others In the house also have
occess to hot woter ot all hours. With the automatic, electric
heater supplying hot water for ten people, Mrs. Tucker's electric
woter heating bill lost month (April billing) was only $2.48.
The new woter heater is like a giant thermos bottle. It uses
less electricity because none of the heot is lost through radiation.
It provides on abundance of hot woter at exactly the right temp,
erature os constantly as the cold water supply. Also, the new
off peak water heater rate, is only 8 mills ! Four-fifths of one
cent per kilowatt hour.
For complete details about the new woter heaters and the
special off peak metered rate, see your electrical dealer or
plumber, or call this1 office.
