Many Attacks on Relief
Policies to Be Expected

To keep Mr.. Williams out of the
clutches of the wolves around the
capitol, Mr.. Roosevelt took him off
OF the Job of deputy relief admins
traitor and appointed him as direct
or OF the national youth admins
tratlon. Again, the senate can get
to Mr.. Williams only if it is willing
to adopt a special resolution for an
investigation, and there is probably
enough administration strength in
the senate to block such resolu-
ton.
The lines have not yet been tight
" drawn in congress as a result of
the sudden maneuver by the Presi-
dent. There will be many attacks
on the relief policies at an early
date because the WPA must have
something like 100000 in addi-
tional money before the middle of
February, and that request will be
laid before congress along with
other calls for money in the first
deficiency bill. But Mr.. Hopkins will
be nesting comfortably in his pan
elled office on the fifth floor of the
commerce department.; he will be
completely detached" from WPA
and so the controversy over voting
the money will settle down to q
matter OF principle without having
too much personality in it.
The appointment of Col. Harrine-
ton Will be much advertised by adj
mlnistration supporters i'm order to
help others forget that Hopkins
once held the job. Colonel Harring-
His army associates know him as a
capable and efficient man and the
critics of relief policies cannot help
ceiling that he will do fairly good
ob. He has not engaged in politics.
Is Hopkins did, and thus is immune
rom that approach.
Beneath the surface, plans are
aid to be under way to give the ]
country correct impression" of
he new WPA. Colonel Harrington
reported to be planning to do
way with most of the boon dog
ling, sewing circles to make baby
llapers, what-else- have-you. He
wants to use the WPA money for
constructive purposes"

WASHINGTON Many person!
IN washington are convinced thai
President Roosevelt has slipped 6
fast ball right over the plate ir
front of his congressional critics by
the transfer of Harry Hopkins tc
the job of secretary of commerce
and the selection of Col F. C. Har-
rington as works progress admin
istrator. It appears to some OBJ
"a servers, certainly. that the presi-
dental maneuver has gone long
way toward reducing, if not elimi-
mating, the chances of dirty in
vestigation of WPA and its relief
spending. @
The President knew of the brew
ing trouble than had Hopkins as
the focus; he was told how much
mud Singing was due to take place,
and how the haters of Hopkins and
his methods We're preparing to leave
no stones unturned in exposing ev-
erything about Hopkins and his or
ganization that could be made to
appear Shiny. Yet, Hopkins is per-
haps the closest of all of the elmer
circle" OF advisers to the President
and surely he is the Presidents best
personal friend. Naturally, he want
ed to keep Hopkins around.
In naming Hopkins to the post of
secretary Of commerce, vacated
onl y at Christmas time by the vet
eran official, Daniel G. Roper, Mr..
Roosevelt has had to take the
chance that the appointee would
meet some razzing in senate con-
firmation. That is a chance. of
course, but Mr.. Hopkins will be con-
firmed after the boys in the senate
have had their say. But there will |
be little opportunity for the anti
administration Democrats to sink
their teeth into the Hopkins ap-
pointment to the commerce Job.
That department has less money to
spread about perhaps than most i'm
portant government jobs. Admins
trat1on friends in the senate, there
fore, can say with propriety that a
razzing Of Hopkins, as the COM i
merce nominee, is not to be indulg-
ed In because this is another lob.
not related to spending relief money.
