SUBJECT IS GETTING ATTENTION FROM CONGRESS
 IN CONSTRUCTIVE MANNER
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Jan 23. One truly fundamental change in the relief situation as it comes ur once more is that members of Con- gress now can look at the problem with a greater degree of objectivity without the need of damning or defending Harry Hopkins.
 The change may bring calmer thinking in the search for solu- tions, even though the actual facts of relief are as difficult to dissolve as ever.
 However just or unjust, great many Congressmen have suspect ed at least trace of social work CTS racket in the setup, and Harry Hopkins, himself a social worker and chief of the WPA until re- gently, has come to symbolize what ever was faulty in it. The report of the Senate Elections Committee scolded the WPA for what went on in Tennessee and Kentucky during the primaries.
 Those are only two states. Sena- tors and Representative from other states have complaints, most of which they were eager to lay to Hopkins as he was the one public figure connected with WPA whose name meant something in the pub lie prints.

 Resolution Tuesday

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Repre- sentative J. P. Thomas announced late this afternoon that he will in- troduce resolution to impeach Sec retary of Labor Perkins.

 The Labor Secretary, in the letter, accused the Dies Committee, of which Representative Thomas is a member, of making a charge against Bridges without support evidence.
 Thomas stated there is enough substantiated evidence to drive Brid- ges from the United States without a hearing.

CONFIDENCE IN THE ARMY

Now Hopkins is out of relief and in the cabinet. Replacing him is Colonel Francis c. Harrington, an Army engineer. So far as this cor respondents recollection goes, there is no branch of the government in which Congress places such trust as in the Army engineers. Probably President Roosevelt knew that too. Congress has voted scores of mill lions for flood control and most members have been content simply to know that the Army engineers had placed on okay on the expendi- ture.
 As to relief, the problems of 1883 still remain. Actual figures vary, but the present 1O,OOO,0OO or more of unemployed is probably within two or three million of the 1932- B peak. Costs of extending relief have advanced steadily, in part due to the greater exhaustion of the poor mans resources, and in part to the insistence of the ad- ministration that workers on re- lief were entitled to better than dole income.
 As Col Harrington took over, WPA rolls were near an all time peak at above 100000. While WPA workers were moving into private industry at the rate of 100000 month, others were dis placed and coming on the rolls at the rate of 3OO,OO0 month as Con- gress met.
 Few, if any, Congressmen advo- cate outright termination of re- lief. But part and parcel of the re- lief theory has been that the ex- penditures primed the pump of industry, creating more private jobs This has been one of the arguments in support of maintaining the cost
