WHITE COLLAR
JOBSURGED
International News Service


A delegation claiming to repre-
sent New York's white collar
workers told Relief Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins today that
300 million dollars earmarked
by the Senate in the 1880 mil
lion-dollar work relief bill for pro
viding employment for the white
collar workers was not enough.
They disagreed with Admins
traitor Hopkins over the number
of white collar workers unem-
ployed in New York. They de-
clared Mayor LaGuardia's COM
mittee report that 81 per cent
of the unemployed in New York
are white collar workers was
right. Mr.. Hopkins in his re-
port indicated 20 per cent.
Mr.. Hopkins told the delega-
ton that under the new bill work
relief will be provided in New
York for $4,000 white collar
workers. The highest ever en-
ployed at one time has been

Miller, a member of the delega-
tion.
The delegation asked for abo-
lition of the pauper's oath as a
basis for getting jobs on work
relief; union rates of pay where
unions exist; the prevailing rate
of pay where unions do not pre-
vail, with a 81 weekly minimum;

to give employment to all unem'

HOOVER BLAST
ST|RS BOTH
PARTIES
Republicans Afraid He Wants
to Run for Presidency and
Democrats Hope So
BY EARL GOODWIN

Dy CANA OOD"AN
There hasn't been such a good
old-fashioned political gabfest like
the aftermath of Mr.. Hoover's
Southern California blast in a
long time, and it all boils down
to this:
The Republicans here are afraid
he wants to run for the presidency
and the Democrats hope he does.
The New Dealers feel they could
defeat him. The Republicans
think so, too.
Political observers here, how
ever, are quite convinced that Mr.
Hoover has no intention of start
ing a boom for himself, but feels
like laying down the foundations
of the next Republican platform
which will be adopted in a ma
tional nominating convention next
year.
Raps Gold Policy
He Is reported to be seething
with ambition to get into policy
making activities. A few weeks
ago, following the Supreme
Courts decision in the gold cases,
he broke long silence and at
tackled the Administrations gold
policy. His statement at that
time was considered by political
leaders as being too abStruse for
popular support and understand
ing.
Mr.. Hoover's letter to the
California Republicans has been
carefully studied by Administra-
tion leaders here. They believe
that it will be easy to answer
and that it is far too broad and
lacking in specific detail. One
detail, however, in the Hoover
letter caused George Peek, agri-
cultural expert and special ad-
wiser to the President on foreign
trade, to say:
"Mr. Hoover says that be-
cause of our agricultural pol
icies food is pouring into sOur
ports from foreign countries.
It is true that we are import
ing foOdstuffS, but nothing in
contrast to the flood of agri-
cultural imports in the Hoover
administration"
REPLY EXPECTED
Mr.. Hoover's strong attack on
the New Deal, it is believed here,
will produce a reply from high
quarters in the Administration.
New Dealers believe they can
prove that recovery is on its way.
There have been indications of
business pickup from several
independent sources recently,
among them statements from the
United States Chamber of Com
merce and the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
One matter which is worrying
the New Deal politicians is the
affair in Ohio, where Gov. Mar
tin Davey is by no means taking
the attack on him from Harry
Hopkins, Federal Relief Ad-
11ll1lLSG1 dCOI, III q PAOA4C POoAVAOAA'
Although the New Dealers here
claim that Governor Davey has
not answered Mr.. Hopkins with
any facts and that he has been
in the newspapers with nothing
but noise, nevertheless Governor
Davey is said to be splitting the
Democrats in Ohio. 1t is claimed
that the situation he is creating
could lose the State of Ohio
with it's 26 electoral votes for
President Roosevelt next year.
Mr.. Hoover's reference to waste
and politics in relief could have
deep effect in Ohio and other
States where there is discomfort
over the relief administration.
