It would have been,pleasing to most congressmen* too, if they h^ not been asked to include a. restriction on the wages that may be paid on projects under this appropriation. However, from the point of view of recovejry, the $50 a month average wage which is athoKzed for public works, is re- gani^ as high enough to keep the average worker’s average family well provided for, but- not hdgh enough to keep him from taking a job in private employment if one comes his way.

V ■ " Another nation-wide program which is well thought of in administration circles, is the abolition of every rail road crossing of a highway “at grade” in the United Statens.

Before congress gets through the old age pension will be raised from $.30 a month to $40 or al>ove. Townsend plan advocates are clamoring for at least $^100 a month. It won’t'be that high, but may be $60. Shortly congress will W aSked to au thorize Joe Ea.stman’s plan to reor ganize the Inter.state <'ommercc-Xom- mission to give that bo<ly full control over all forms of inter-state transpor tation, railroad, hus, track, air and water,- ..;r —- —'—•“ ^ The Reeonstruction Finance coipor- ution is to be grante<i broadei'‘*pow- ers, to make loans to industry and to railroads.
