REJECTS
HOPKINS ORDER

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March II
G.N.S).-Governor Davey today
once again told Federal Relief
Administrator Hopkins that the
Federal Government either must
eliminate the terrific waste" OF
take over the complete admins
tration of relief in Ohio. He
wrote Hopkins:
"PIease do not think this is
) a bluff. / never meant any
thing more seriously in my life.
81 do not want to control
the relief program under exist
ing conditions. There Is moth
ing 1 want except to be en-.
tireIy out of it. This is your
show. You should be willing
to assume full responsibility to
the public for running it,"
Governor Davey'S latest letter in
the relief controversy was written
a few hours after Hopkins flatly
rejected his first Importantly to
relieve the State government OF
relief responsibility.
Hopkins has warned the govern
or that either Ohio will continue
to match the Federal Govern
ment's $8,0OO,OOO monthly with
two millions of its own, or all
Federal aid will be discontinued.
The Federal administration has,
however, stated that mo one will
be allowed to 60 hungry in Ohio, u
leading some observers to believe
Hopkins may eventually step in
and take over complete control
of relief to 100000 Ohioans on
relief.

TAX employees
FIGHT SENATE
PAY PLAN
Discharge of TWo-Thirds of
Treasury Group AssaiIed
BY BabcoCk

A finish battle for retention OF
all employees of the Federal alcohol
tax unit of the Treasury Depart
ment was forecast today as the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees announced its re-
lection Of the proposed com
promise by which some Of them
would be retained and others dis
charged, just as the Senate Ap,
propriations Committee voted its
approval of the plan.
Babcock Raps Plan
President E. Claude Babcock, of
the federation, said:
Gas q matter of justice, the
compromise should be rejected
and the Presidents suggestion
adopted, by which the civil serv-
ice status Of these employees
would be protected by proper re-
appropriation Of the funds neces-
Sary to pay them.
"TheSe funds were withheld
only because Of misunderstand-
ing Of the effect Of Senator Nc
KelIar's rider"
Under the plan approved by the
Senate committee about one-third
of the employees whose status is
in controversy would be retained,
while the other two-thirds would
be paid up to May Is and then
dismissed. This proposal must be
approved by the Senate and then
sent to the House for approval be,
fore it can be carried out.
Salaries Cut Off
All the workers in question are
serving without pay at present
Their salaries were cut off auto
matically in December under the
provisions of the so-called patron
ag e rider sponsored by Senator
McKellar (D) of Tennessee.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau, who has fought from
the beginning for their retention,
on the ground thai the unit
would be disrupted by their dis,
miSSal, contends that they should
be protected in their original
civil service status and that it
should not be necessary for them
to pass a second examination as
a condition Of retaining their
jobs.
This is likewise the position Of
the employees themselves, as well
as the employees federation.

 THEIR DEMANDS
Martin H. CarmOdy, Wm. J. Mckinley Send Re-
 ply to President

New York, Dec 1e-(UP)-The Rights of Columbus restated today their demand that the United States remonstrate against ''rersecution of religion by the Mexican govern ment" ina second letter to Presi- dent Roosevelt.
 The letter, signed by Martin H. Carmody, supreme knight, and Wil- liam J. Mckinley, supreme secre- tary, denied that in a letter dated Oct. 25 the had asked 'interven- tion."
 When you say that your admin istration will pursue policy of non- intervention, you're either talking about something that is entirely foreign to the subject matter of our correspondence, or you are endeav- bring to translate into the sugges- tions of the Knights of Columbus something which was not contained therein and which you were specifl- cally advised that the Knights of Columbus are not asking for and do not want" the new letter said.
 Cited Conference
 It cited a conferen e on July 8 between the K. of o. committee and the president, atr which time, the letter said, the committee stated 1t did not wish intervention" but pointed out many instances Sin which this government has effec- lively remonstrated on behalf of the prosecuted people of other countries, particularly mentioning the case of Ireland"
 Referring to the assertion in the presidents letter of Nov. 13, that the government had received no com- plaint from any American citizen that the right to worship freely had been denied him, the letter added that IA Mexican states prohibit all religious services and "that in all Mexico only 197 priests are permit ted to serve an overwhelming Cath olic population of more than 15 mill lion SoulS."
 Borah Letter Held Up
 The letter also pointed out that the Borah resolution, which pro- tests for an investigation to deter mine the policy to be pursued by the United States, is being held in the committee on foreign relations at President Roosevelt's direction.
 "The responsibility of this govern ment to remonstrate against there prosecutions by the Mexican gov- ernment in the name of humanity ndd In the name of religion is your responsibility" the letter said. "The responsibility for throttling the Bo- rah resolution is your responsibil- ity."
