 AT REPUBLICANS
Says Entire Republican Party May Go Into a
 Museum

Washington, Nov. 2.-(UP).- Federal R ] l. f Administrator Harry L. Hopkins struck back to- day at republicans who have criticized the EZRA f or pouring millions in relief funds into the states in advance of the coming elections.
 Republican National Committee Chairman Henry P. Fletcher bore the brunt of Hopkins attack.
 Referring to Fletcher as a man yTho accepted the ambassadorship to Italy. because nobody else wanted it," Hopkins interpreted his criticism of EZRA allotments to states in advance of the elections as meaning that "what he is say- ing to the unemployed, is you let us get back to power. and you will not be taken care of
 Fletcher Don't Understand
 Fletcher's attack on the EZRA, Hopkins said, indicates a complete misunderstanding of the privileges of the destitute. His attack that we timed this November relief al- lotments) at the right date, is silly. We gave out the same sum always"
 Hopkins observed that If we had stepped up construction. and thrown the whole mob on work relief, there would have been some- thing to 1t. think the implication
