HOPKINS ATTACKS
BUSINESS PLANS
Others Also Take Fling at
Proposal for Recovery
Program.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A proposal by business leaders that
the Government swing away from
relief to direct aid to the distressed
ran today into growing opposition
led by Harry L. Hopkins.
The relief administrator, as well as
Secretary Ickes, Senator Norris Of
Nebraska and others voiced criticism
indicating this portion of the platform
adopted by the White Sulphur Springs
gathering of 80 business men would
win out only after a battle.
While Hopkins flung criticisms at
the suggestion and the White House
received the entire platform without
comment, leaders of the Joint Busi-
ness Conference for Recovery drove
ahead with attempts to win farmers
and labor to theA. views.
Meeting Planned.
A meeting with farm leaders was
being planned for January with a
labor conference set for later. But
American Federation of Labor chiefs
took the labor relations section of the
recovery platform as opposed to ma
jority rule" in collective bargaining
The federation has fought for. this for
a year. >>-
Word at the White House was that
in the normal course the platform
would be referred to the departments
concerned for detailed study. 1t was
delivered to the Executive Mansion
yesterday by c. B. Ames, chairman
of the conference. Ames and the
President did not meet. The busi-
ness man said Mr.. Roosevelts con-
ferences were so numerous Ames sim
ply left the recommendations with q
secretary. He said he was offered an
appointment for later.
Hopkins flung this shaft at the re-
lief proposal:
Some people, spending two or three
days thinking about how relief should
be handled decided in the sacred pre-
cincts of White Sulphur Springs that
the unemployed should receive bas-
kets on Christmas.
mo doubt they have visited many
families in need and know all about
these people. Otherwise they wouldn't
presume to tell the American people
how relief should be administered.
II haven't changed my mind about
relief. I am 100 per cent for work

Proposed as Yule Present.
Earlier he had suggested that the
business leaders wrap up their plan
and send 1t to the unemployed for
a Christmas present"
Secretary Ickes said "the dole
doesn't appeal to me-" while Norris
declared, "I don't favor the dole. "
The United Conference of Mayors had
issued a statement saying it would
bitterly fight" any attempt to hold
UP work relief in Congress.
Chairman Harrison of the Senate
Finance Committee said the best
minds" of the conference were all
wrong in advocating "a dole system
against q public works program"
The delegates recommendation for
modification Of the securities act also
was found premature by Chairman

DEM0CRATSST|LL
SURE OF RECOUNT
Dawson Withdraws Petition
for Recount in Attor-
ney's Race.
BY JACK ALLEN,
stan Correspondent of The Star.


ROCKVILLE, Nd. December al
Attorneys for John 3. Diamond and
Raleigh s. Chinn were highly opu-
mistic today over their chances of OBJ
tanning a recount of the November
election despite the decision of the
Circuit Court sustaining demurrers to
virtually every charge embodied in the
recount petitions Of the two Demo-
cratic organization candidates.
Meanwhile, Walter w. Dawson, Fu-
sion candidate in last months election
for States attorney of Montgomery
County, who was defeated by James
H Pugh, Democrat, by 46 votes
through his attorney, Kenneth Lyd-
dane, ordered dismissal Of the petition
recently filed by him in the Circuit
Court here for q recount Of the vote
as between him and Pugh.
He stated that after thorough in
vestigation and the court decision on
demurrers to the petitions Of John B
Diamond and Raleigh s. Chinn fol-
recount OF votes for commissioner
he was of the opinion that no fraud
had been perpetrated.
Joseph c. Cissel, chief of counsel for
Chinn and Diamond, pointed out that
the decision handed down late yester-
day by Chief Judge Hammond UrneI
and Associate Judge Arthur D. Willard
upheld the allegations that general
irregularities occurred In the marking
Of certain ballots and the manner In
which votes were counted in a number
Of precincts.
Basis for Court Order.
'That alone" Cissel declared this
morning, would constitute sufficient
basis for the court to order q recount
of the election"
Both Cissel and his law partner,
Roger j. Whiteford, regarded the
courts support of that particular
charge as signal victory in the legal
battle that is being waged by the
Democratic organization in hopes of
obtaining recount Of the votes which
defeated Diamond and Chinn in their
fight for seats on the Board of Mont
gomery County Commissioners.
It was the defeat of those two can
didates by Frank H. Karn and Charles
E. King. coupled with the triumph of
Paul Coughlan over Miss LaTnia
Engle, that gave the Fusion party
control Of the County Board and
ended the 15-year reign which the
Democratic organization previously
enjoyed at the head Of the county's
administrative affairs.
Demurrers Sustained.
With the exception of the allega-
tions regarding the improper marking
and counting Of ballots in q number
of precincts the courts decision sus-
tanned on every count the demurrers
which King and Karn filed to the
Democrats petitions.
Counsel for the two Fusion COM
missioners is now required to answer
the petitions as amended by the
courts findings and it Is expected
that the answer will be filed In Cir
cult Court shortly after Christmas.
