How would it be to have the
Louisiana Public Service Commission

stan and his personal attendants.
Board "Am Right"
Some one asked whether the remis-
sion of debt fell within the scope of

stitutionally created to regulate opera
ton of public utilities.
"Oh, that's all right" he replied.
We'll either have them do it, or we'll
create special board to do it."
Long said his plan was to grant
moratoria on ''old debts" indicating
that he meant obligations of long
standing that could not be immedi-
ately paid by, and were burdens to,
the average man.
Does that mean strictly personal
debts, or Just banking and mortgage

SPECIFIC CHARGES
ON RELIEF SOUGHT
Hopkins Requests Bill of
Particulars Be Given
by Borah.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Harry L. Hopkins asks a bill of
particulars" from Senator Borah of
Idaho, who charges there has been
shameless waste" of money in the
management of relief funds.
The relief administrator made this
reply to the Independent Republican
Senator last night:
IF Senator Borah will be good
enough to furnish me bill Of par
ticulars regarding what he character
ICES as the shameless waste in doing
out funds promise him quick
action
Just back from the West. Borah
stirred the Capital yesterday with an
election aftermath demand for an
inquiry into the handling of the
hundreds of millions in funds for the
needy.
Expense Termed appalling"
Every one wants to see those who
| need relief get relief" said Borah,
but millions never reached those
| who need it. The amount expended
before it gets to those in need is
appalling"
Borah coupled his assertion of
waste" with an implication that re-
lief money has gone for political pur-
poses. Although he did not mention
/ the P. w. A., aides Of both Secretary
Ickes and Hopkins recalled recent
statements by them on that subject.
Busy with new plans to transfer
some of the millions now dependent
on Federal and State doles onto work
relief projects, Hopkins first heard
the Idaho Senator's criticism without
comment.
F. E. r. A. aides came forward with
figures on the cost of dispensing the
huge outlays. They estimated 111a
cents out of every dollar as the cost
Of distributing the funds to the needy.
Aside from his charges, Borah's
! discussion of relief touched subject
which is occupying major administra-
ton attention. The money allotted
to Hopkins organization and that for
P. w. A. will determine whether Con-
gress will be asked to pass new taxes.
Roosevelt Is Silent.
President Roosevelt had no COM
ment on Senator Borah's investiga-
ton demand but he said studies were
being pursued with various officials
on the relief problem.
Borah opened his statement to
newspaper men with an assertion that
expenditures for relief must have at
tention either from Congress or the
Executive Department"
Il have had brought to my esten-
tion," he said, instances in which
the cost or expense of administering
fund was about half the fund to be
administered
Now the load is heavy enough for
| the taxpayers at best, but this shame
less waste, If not worse, will have to
have an end, not only in the name of
the hungry and the needy. but in the
interest of decency."
