.ICKES CHARGES
HIS PROJECTS
ARE Held Up
Feud With Hopkins Over
Work-Relief Funds
Spreading
F.D.R. REFUSES TO
SHIFT ALLEGATIONS

WASHINGTON, May 6. (UP).
The bitter Hopkins-Ickes feud
for control of work-relief funds
spread to three fronts today. on
the eve of house consideration of
the $l,500,000.000 appropriation
measure.
/. President Roosevelt persisted
in refusal to shift proposed allo-
cations from WPA Administrator
Harry Hopkins to PWA Admins
TRAITOR Harold L. lckes.
2. A pro-Ickes Democratic house
group forced leaders to agree to 4
party caucus to discuss the allo-
cations. Republicans also decided
To caucus.
3. Ickes charged that Hopkins
and Comptroller General J. Ray
mond McCarl had delayed prof.
Gets under his jurisdiction.
The issue brought New Deal
leaders into an open clash center
ing about efforts of a strong
house bloc to earmark 4 portion
of the fund for expenditure by
IckeS' organization. The fight will
reach the house floor when the
bill comes up tomorrow for con-
sideration.
Ickes' statement criticizing Hop
kins and McCarl for assembly de-
laying approval of PWA projects
gave encouragement to the house
bloc headed by Rep. Alfred F.
Better, d., N. Y.
Better forced the first Demo-
cratic house caucus OF the session
in an effort to put the party on
record as favoring a provision for
expenditure OF approximately half
the new appropriation by lckes.
Efforts to bind the Democratic
membership to the proposal to
earmark a portion of the funds
for Ickes will depend upon wheth-
er two-thirds of the members vote
for it at the caucus. Leaders be-
lieved they would not.
Ickes blamed Hopkins and Nc
Carl for delay on about 900 PWA
projects under its current $780,
100000 heavy works program.
His charge was a repetition of
one he made last summer in a dis
pute in which Mr.. Roosevelt up1
held Hopkins. ,
That the issue will be fought
out on the house floor this week
appeared certain.
The measure, in addition to
Sl,5OO,OOO,00O for relief, carries
approximately $S00,000,O00 for
social security act expenditures,
the Civilian Conservation Corps
and the Tennessee Valley Author
ity. Its $2,30O,OO0,00O total is
one of the yargest supply bills
ever submitted to congress for &C
ton in peace time. $50,
Republican tactics on the bill
are expected to be somewhat the
same as on the tax measure.

ROME, May G.-UP) Italy
now joins the satisfied nations of

country-not Africa, but belong

with which Italy has been and al

italy has no political interest

responsibility for troubles among

of Foreign Under-Secretary Full

Mussolini said:

me that victory would turn his
