Karl deSchwetnits, director of the State Emergency Relief Board, pointed out that $3,000,000 transferred from special funds to cover 'relief the last few days of July and the fUsi few days of August, would be exhausted tomorrow. Some Senators expressed the belief further transfer would be made to avoid another shutdown of relief to the State's more than 500, 000 unemployed. While caucuses and committee worked over the $50,500,000 program agreed upon by New Deal Governor Earle, Democratic leaders and spokesmen for the Republican majority in the Senate, both branches of the Legislature stood still for hours. Song and Dance Up in the Senate galleries boys and girls danced to the music of a banjo and mouth organ.
