RELIEF TO BE ISSCE IN
NEXT CONGRESS
By Preston Grover
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23, —
That old relief headache has bob
bed up again on capitol hill and
seems to be digging in to wel
come the congress back in Jan
uary.
Congress and the relief prob
lem were a little like the cranky
mountaineer who peered out his
cabin door at the mob of young
sters in the yard and shouted:
‘Those o’ you belong t’ me. get
in the house. And those o’ you
don’t, git on home.”
Congress was just that confus
ed as father to the unemployed
although it shoveled billions
down the chute to them in the
last four years.
Actually, the “unemployed”
have never been defined. They
were suh a hungry lot In 1933,
there was not time to do it, and
it hasn’t been done yet.
Is a widow who makes $4 a
week embroidering doilies at
home unemployed if she can’t
feed her brood on that $4. Is a
youngster who was graduated in
1935 and never found a job un
employed? How unemployed is a
man who gets $200 a year from a
canning factory, but can't make
it stretch the whole 12 months,
and can't find, another job.
It’s Nothing New
In the year ending June 30th,
WPA spent $1,899,069,166 on jobs
for 1,656.533 people. More mill
ions poured through the social
security sieve to poverty-strick
en blind, aged and children. Still
more millions are keeping the
CCC boys oflF the rattlers.
Yet every congressman’s mail
had pleas from people who could
n’t find any government cash
register open to them, and could
n’t find a job.
To make matters more compli
cated, Senator Harry Byrd of Vir
ginia kept loudily demanded a
balanced budget.
There was a faint hope on the
i hill that maybe relief bills could
,
be cut if the relief program could
be reduced to a simple system,
jin the last few weeks of the ses
sion several efforts in that dir
I
ieetion bobbed up to remind con
gress that “the poor, ye have al
ways with you.”
Census of Unemployed
Just a few weeks ago the new
ly named Associate Justice Hugo
L. Black pushed through the sen
ate a bill to take a census of the
unemployed. He wanted it “on

or before April 1, 1938. It is esti
mated the census would cost $5,
000.000.
Immediately Gen. Hugh S. John
[son. who engineered the war draft
denounced the plan as clumsy,
and needlessly expensive. He
wanted all relief cases to regist
er on a given day.
Then Johnson's arugment was
popped by trained relief work
ers. They say some people would
register at four or five different
t
places just to be sure they got
relied.
There were other congression
al eruptions of the problem. In
the House, Representative Maury
Maverick of Texas rounded up 28
others to sponsor a bill asking
for an unemployment commis
sion to investigate the whole sub
ject of destitution and to report
back when congress meets again.
In the senate an unemployment
investigating committee plans to
hold hearings in the fall. They
will report when congress con
venes again.
As a result, the congressional
bill-of-fare for 1938 bids fair to
dish up relief. And with the 19
38 elections around the comer,
that may look to congressmen
like a sensible diet.
