On Relief Politics.
By ROBERT A. McGILL

G.NdS) Overriding opposition
from a minority group, the Senate
Commerce Committee today rec.
commended confirmation of former
WPA Administrator Harry L. Hop
kins, as Secretary of Commerce,
succeeding Daniel c. Roper, re-
signed.
Committee approval of Hopkins
presaged a lengthy discussion Of

floor when the nomination is con-
sidered tomorrow.

The committee vote on Hopkins
was 13 to 6, with Senator Bailey
CD Of North Carolina, chairman,
who has had a long-standing per.
sonal feud with Hopkins, not vot-
ing.
Bailey explained his failure to
vote by stating that ut was a per.
Sonal matter" He said he would
reduce his views on the confirma-
ton Of Hopkins to writing and
would place a statement on the
desk Of each Senator at noon to-
morrow.
Bailey predicted "there win be
right considerable discussion" b
fore Hopkins is confirmed, al
though he reiterated he would take
no oral part in it.
Because Of Bailey's attitude, the
committee report will be presented
to the Senate by Senator shep-
pard CD of Texas.
There will be no minority re-
port, but Senator johnson (R.) of
California, one Of Hopkins most
persistent critics when he appeared
before the committee, plans to
make a rather extensive speech in
opposition.
HOUO They Voted
The vote in committee was along
strict party lines.
The 13 who voted for Hopkins
were all DemocratS-Maloney of
Connecticut, Caraway Of Arkan-
sas, Hill Of Alabama. Lee Of Okla

Radcliffe of Maryland. Sheppard
of Texas. Clark Of Missouri, Mead
