Congressional leaders, encourag 1 by President Roosevelt, whipped the party into line to act speedily upon his "must' program. Activity was at highest since opening of Congress last January. The 'House sent the important security) bill to the Senate labelled "rush.j" In passing the bill 372 to $3 Democrats administered the worst defeat of the session to Republicans and party insurgents.

Relief and public works administrators, armed with $4,880,000,000 In new federal funds, "cracked down" on those whom they regarded as obstructing operation of the huge work relief program. Governor Kugene Talmadge of Georgia and Senator Huey P. Long of Louisiana were signaled out for chastisement. Similar action w'as threatened against others who fall to "go along with the Hold Out Money. Relief Administrator Harry L.

Hopkins placed distribution of federal relief money in hands of federal appointees in both Georgia and Louisiana. Public "Works Director Harold L. Ickes withheld construction allotments to both states. The Senate sought to silence Long, or at least to limit his vitriolic attacks on the administration. Majority Leader Joseph T.

Robinson, who has clashed several times with Ixng, secured an agreement to limit debate Monday to 40 minutes for each senator. The action was taken in an effort to "gag" Long and prevent his taking up too much Senate time with his announced Intention to "blast back Ickes' ears'" Monday. Leaders intimated that if the plan works this time theyt may use It again. Introduction of a compromise soldiers 'bonus proposal by Senator Pat Harrison, staunrh party man, likewise was regarded as placing the administration on the offensive In settling that troublesome question. Is in Senate.

The social security bill was added to the already crowded calendar of the Senate finance committee, which is considering NRA extension and bonus legislation. Administration leaders prepared fo- strenuous opposition to the security bill in the Senate. H6use Speaker Joseph Byrns 'was elated over passage of the security bill Intact without protection of a "gag" rule.

LONG MOVES TO BATTLE ICKES Many Bills Are Passed By His Assembly To Help Strengthen Power. BULLETIN Baton Rouge, la, April 20 (ijj.R) The Louisiana legislature teday finally approved Senator Ilury Long's 27 newest bills, vihk-h declare a financial war on the I nlled State government and give Long a strangle -hold on the state's election machinery and municipal affairs. Raton Rouge. April 20. (LP) Senator Huey Long struck the first blow in his fight with the federal government over relief funds today by blocking a Joint federal-state bridge project at Baton Rouge.

A. 1. Tugwell. chairman of the Louisiana highway commission and henchman of Long, sent a telegram to Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes, announcing that the state was withdrawing from the project" rather than let Ickes' Public Works Administration supervise it. Meanwhile, the obedient Louisiana legislature met to give final approval of a bill placing all public works under supervision of a state board dominated by Long.

The bill has the effect of seizing all federal relief money sent into the state. Ickes has warned that no more federal money will be sent to Louisiana under such conditions. Long defied Ickes and his controlled legislature supported him. As a result the bill has passed both houses and needs only House concurrence in a minor amendment and the signature of Governor O. K.

Allen, another of Long's allies, to become law. To Boss Spending. It seta up the state advisory board, whose members are appointed by the governor, to supervise relief expenditures. It carries a penal clause that would bring fine and imprisonment to any contractor, state or federal officer who undertook a public works project without permission from state officers. Long charged that the federal government was "conspiring" to send $170,000,000 In relief funds to Louisiana to set up a political machine hostile to his state dictatorship.

The small minority in both houses of the state legislature that oppose Long fought the relief fund bill vigorously, but the Senate passed the bill, 29 to 10. Ickes has backed up his warning by announcing the withdrawal of $640,000 In PWA allotments from Louisiana. To Quit Today.

U.R) Federal inquiry into charges of "wholesale) Irregularities" In the administration of Illinois unemployment relief was asked today In the wake of a "showdown" between state officials and the Illinois Emergency Relief Commission. The inquiry was agreed to by Howard O. Hunter, regional FERA representative, after a stormy session in which charges of waste and sabotage were traded. The commission stripped State Treasurer John Stclle akd State Auditor Edward J. Barrett of Authority to disburse government Relief funds, but not until the officials had demanded an investigation of their charges.

Hunter said U. 8. Attorney General Homer. Si Cummings wjl be asked to make "a thorough and penetrating inquiry" of the com mission's activities. At the same time, he said, a corps of federal relief workers will conduct an independent Investigation of the same matters.

Stelle and Barrett, both ex-offlcio members of the emergency relief commission, said they expected to surrender their functions to the IERC staff Monday but that they would take the matter up with Gov. Horner before formally conceding to the ouster. Will Urge Money Several members of the commission, pointing out dire conditions which would result from a halt In relief operations, said they would go to Springfield within a few days to urge the legislature to provide $3,000,000 a month for relief purposes as demanded by the government. j.i The removal JJarrep resulted from his charges last' week of "looseness" and Irregularities' In the present system of handling expenditures. He asked that funds distributed from a central office instead of branches in the state's 193 counties.

The commission decided at its hearing late yesterday that the present system is "fully adequate" and voted seven to one Barrett casting th only dissenting vote to comply with the state treasurer's alternative proposal that he be relieved of responsibility if the change were not made. Treasurer Stelle did 'not vote in the "showdown." The result df the vote, however, was to relieve Stelle of his relief authority along with Barrett Inasmuch as the state treasurer and auditor have been Jointly responsible for verifying check signatures under the IERCs system. Will Ixse Jobs Members the commission said telle and Barrett would lose 60 patronage jobs when the IERC takes over the relief branch offices Monday. Although paid fom relief funds the branch office workers are hired directly by state officials. Barrett amplified his charges of "looseness" by Submitting a detailed statement of alleged irregularities in the disbursement system.

"I am not charging, however, tliat there was any criminal motlre behind any of this," he added. The proposal tq ask an Investigation by the attorney general was made by Victor A. Olander, labor member of the commission. Last week Olander asked similar investigations by U. 8.

District Attorney Dwlght H. Green. Attorney General Otto Kerner of Illinois and State's Attorney Thomas J. Courtney. No action has been taken on the re quest.

Corporation Counsel William IL Sexton suggested that the commission go to Springfield next week to urge immediate action on a means of raising the In state relief funds. Federal authorities have demand ed that the state raise this amount, or provide a means, before April SO or no further federal grants will be made. Available funds for state relief will be exhausted by next Thursday. Sexton said. I The IERC members pointed out, however, that they will not ask enactment of Gov.

Horner's proposal for a one per cent increase tn the state sales tax from two to three per cent or any other particular revenue plan to provide the funds. Hunter, in acceding to Barrett' demands for an investigation of bis charges, made the charges of sabotage. "I have some aces up my sleeve that I am about ready to draw," he said. "1 have certain specific charge to make that employes of the state auditor and state treasurer have deliberately attempted sabotage against the centralized disbursing I shall present them to the comWis- BlOn, as wen rt jwi i va Barrett's charges."
