D, {. RELIEF DUE
FOR SHAKE-UP

Immediate reorganization of
the District Emergency Relief
Commission looms as a possibility
today following a statement Of
policy, different from that used
here, by Harry L. Hopkins, admin
istrator of Federal emergency re-
lief.
Mr.. Hopkins said he favored
employment of persons drawing
relief on administrative duties
rather than of trained" workers.
The local relief organizations,
directed by Leroy A. Halbert,
functions through so-called train
ed workers in social service. These
people are paid salaries.
Hopkins further said he believes
the 10 per cent administrative
allowance given the local relief
body by Congress is too high, and
that he will disapprove as great
an allowance being used from
what Federal funds are granted
Halbert's organization.
He has ordered Allan Johnston,
field representative for the South
ern area, to investigate conditions
here beginning Thursday. It is
understood unsatisfactory reports
have reached Hopkins.

WAGE CODES
ON VIEW At
PARLEY
RooseveIt's "Super- Cabinet"
Confers at White House;
Johnson Airs Views
By International News Service

Details of a blanket code,
under which industries and
businesses of the country will
be asked voluntarily to shorten
their working hours and in
crease wages, were being
worked out today at a meeting
at the White House Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's "supercabi-
net" and by Brig. Gen. Hugh
s. johnson, national industrial
recovery administrator.
Shorter hours and higher wages
are imperative to sustained re-
covery, in the opinion of the
President and johnson.
johnson was expected to go to
the White House later to explain
further details of the plan.
If Persuasion Fails
This plan so far is voluntary
but the White House is under
stood to be searching for more
forceful methods allowed under
the recovery act if persuasion
fails.
Public opinion will be thrown
behind the proposed code through
a nation wide publicity campaign
and the Administration will await
results from this approach before
undertaking more aggressive
measures.
johnson emphasized that his
code will be based on purely CO.
operative grounds in the interest
of returning prosperity.
COnfab This Afternoon
President Roosevelt's executive
council meets this afternoon with
the President. Four members OF
the Cabinet are absent.
The blanket code designed to
line up industry in a voluntary
compaign for higher wages and a
fixed work week was the princi-
pal subject slated for discussion.
Such a code has been drafted
tentatively by johnson. It was
submitted to the President Sum
day for inspection and approval.
The President was expected to
submit the code to the council for
action at today's meeting.
johnson was making further
progress on it's terms today, with
out revealing what the code
would contain. It is known that
the 40-hour work week approved
for the textile industry is not
regarded favorably for other lines.
