SWEETWATER REPORTER, SWEETWATER, TEXAS
Special Relief
Message May Be
Made Same Day
New Impetus Behind
Drive to 'Prime'
Ailing: U. S. Business
WASHINGTON — (UP)
President Roosevelt, plans to
lay the full import of the eco
nomic crisis before the nation
—possibly in a fireside chat on
Thursday night—and he also
may send his special relief mes
sage to congress the same day,
the White House announced to
day.
White House Secretary Steu-
ben T. Early said the plan was
tentative but that it would go
through if the chief executive
can find time to draft the mes-
sage and the speech,
The announcement came as
Mr. Roosevelt put new impetus
behind his drive to mobilize
the New Deal's vast lending and
spending agencies into the
mightiest "pump priming" a s -
sault on the trade slump since
the hectic days of 1933.
T h e president's decision to
place the relief problem before
the people came as a surprise
and was interpreted as empha-
sizing the chaotic state of in-
dustry and unemployment.
His message to congress, if lie
is able to prepare it, Early said,
would go up at neon. He added
that if it goes up "it is possible
'Fireside Chat' For Thursday Ni
——
he (the president) may go on
the air Thursday evening in
person and read and explain it
to the country."
Early said that Mr. Roosevelt
had cancelled all engagements
for tomorrow so that he can
begin preliminary draft of the
messages.
He indicated that the congres-
sional message would ask $1,-
250,000,000 for Works Progress
Administration activities — the
major outlet of relief funds—
and that the president will pre-
sent a complete picture of the
economic outlook.
The WPA request, he said
would be for the first seven
months of the new fiscal year
beginning July 1, leaving the
way open for supplemental re-
quests if the crisis becomes
more acute.
Cancels All Kngagenients
Cancelling all other engage-
ments, he conferred day-long
with congressional leaders,
agency heads and fiscal experts
on a program which would pour
at least S4,000,000,000, and pos-
sibly more, into lagging indus-
try and agriculture.
Gravity of the economic cri-
sis was stressed by Secretary of
the Treasury Henry Morgen-
thau. Jr., who conferred with
Mr. Roosevelt ana who told a
press conference shortly af-
terward that the business tail-
spin had become so acute
"some kind of government
is imperative.
Morgenthau, who made a
speech Nov. 10. in New York
against the need for further
federal pump priming, admitted
that conditions have grown pro-
gressively worse. In December
that
aid
he told the house appropria-
tions committee that business
was slowing down, and on Feb,
12 he told the same group that
conditions were "most acute."
"The situation is much worse
now than in February," he
said today, "it is such that it
calls for some kind of govern-
ment aid—but how it is going
to be done is up to the White
House to say."
Other Developments
Other developments:
1 Agreement by President
Roosevelt on a $1,250,000,000
initial outlay for the Works
Progress Administration for the
first seven months of the 1939
fiscal year. The chief executive's
original budget estimate pro-
jected only SI,000,000,000 for
relief for the entire year.
2. Tentative decision to seek
additional WPA funds on Feb.
1, 1939, totalling $800,000,000 or
more.
3. The president, in a special
message to congress, demand-
ed legislative assistance for the
$20,000,000,000 railroad industry.
4. Authorization to the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation
to liberalize its program to make
$1,500,000,000 in loans to poli-
tical sub-divisions and private
business. Congress already has
approved widening of the HFC's
powers.
Loans To Cities
5. Tentative agreement on a
$1,500,000,000 program of long
term, non-interest bearing loans
to cities and political subdivi-
sions through the Public Works
Administration.
6. Presidential sanction of a
house-approved bill appropria-

Easter Seal
Sale Underway
at
A. A. Eberle, chairman of
the newly organized Nolan coun-
ty unit of the Society for
Crippled Children, has been
advised that the camgaipn for
Easter seal sales has been
launched from the state office
in Dallas. The campaign is dir-
ected by mail, and through the
city and county schools.
Heretofore Sweetwater has
participated in the seal sale,
but has not benefitted greatly
from the proceeds, due to the
lack of organization. Now that
a unit has been formed, 55 per-
cent of the net remains in the
county for work with local han-
dicapped children.
