Bailey To Make Communities Pay More Causes Row WASHINC TON, Feb. 33 F. The $350,000,000 emergency relief appro priation asked by President Roosevelt encountered a delay in the senate toda when sharp debate broke out over a proposal to force communities to bear more of the relief burden. The proposal was made by Sena' tor Bailey N. C), who asked that communities be required to contribute 35 percent of the cost of WPA work relief and 30 percent of direct relief.

Final Vote Today The debate consumed so much time, that the senate recessed until tomorrow without reaching a final vote. Previously the chamber voted down, 58 to 32, a proposal by Senator Bone Wash.) to in crease the $250,000,000 appropriation to $400,000,000. By a voice vote, an attempt by Senator Hale Me.) to cut the amount to $200, 000,000 was likewise rejected. Party lines broke in a 38 to 36 vote approving an amendment by Senator Schwellen bach (D, Wash.) to exempt the emergency appropriation from provisions of the. Woodrnm amendment.

This amendment to last year's relief bill requires that relief funds be apportioned over the entire year. Under Bailey's proposed amendment the President would be authorized to waive the 25 percent requirement if he found a community was unable to contribute that amount. Bailey said he had a "deep fear" that further spending might bankrupt the government. He said $10, 000,000,000 had been spent by the federal government for relief during the five years 1933 to 1937, Inclusive, while local agencies were spending $2,000,000,000. NEW LECTURE SERIES Dr.
