W <•>»* " • ^ to, im i < r t ' " v - LOOKING FORWARD 1 By Franklyn Waltman A sweeping: investigation of political activities in Federal relief administration, reaching from the very top to the bottom, is forecast by the revelations new being made by Federal grand ,' jttries and before the Sheppard Committer Investigating Campaign Expenditures. 'ReptibHeati8"'1ir^i#-,^nm"^Cdiyfiresr are certain to sponsor such an investigation and a large number of Semocrats enthusiastically will support it. Everyone engaged in funny business with relief funds or workers fad better watch their step, for they fltfe going to be on a hot spot when Oongress gets back to Washington. * What is more, if.anything is certain -lb politics, it is that a movement will • fee launched in the next Congress to . 'hail Relief Administrator Harry Hopkins and put an end to his arbitrary powers over hundreds of millions of pilars of relief funds. Mr. Hopkins has beenttie fair-hairboy of the Roosevelt Administration. He ip perhaps closer to Mr. Roosevelt than any other person in the ; *New Deal. He is the biggest employv. er in the country, having on his pay- •> drolls not only more than 28,000 administrative officers and employees but also more than 3,000,000 relief work- „ets. " Hopkins is "Mr. Big" • For instance, Mr. Hopkins has an administrative and supervisory staff twice the size of the Commerce Department fend larger by some 7,000 persons than the number of persons employed in the Departments of State, tabor and Justice, totnbined. Where- • as a majority of the employees in those four old-line departments have had to run the gauntlet of the Civil Service to get their jobs, Mr. Hopkins has been free to hand out administrative and supervisory jobs to anyone he pleases--and to fire them when he , pleases, without any ifs, ands or buts about it. He is the "Mr. Big" of the . New Deal. Even though Mr. Hopkins has had Some hard sledding in the last year or so on Capitol Hill, he was safe from Congressional wrath until he commenced stepping on Democratic toes. Harsh as it may sound, it is nevertheless true that House and Senate Democrats did not become outraged about Mr. Hopkins and his meddling into politics as long as he confined his fefforts against Republicans. He made his-mistake when he1 became one of .the foremost figures in the recent, mournful Democratic purge effort. Now Mr. Hopkins has against him I not only all the Republicans--and as 'a result of what has happened in the last month they are fighting mad about him and his political, activties--but he also has against him all those Democratic Senators who survived the purge -- Tydings, George, Adams, Smith and all the others. But he also has against him. most of the Democratic Senators who will be up for reelection in 1940. Having seen what he tried to do to their colleagues this year, they propose to take no chances whatever with Mr. Hopkins. They intend to get him before he gets them. : Grand Juries Indict There are other factors which point to the descent of the bright political stir of Harry Hopkins.. New Deal politics in relief administration already is commencing to have a bad odor, as evidenced by the indictments returned by the Federal grand juries in New Mexico and New Jersey. For instance, the New Mexico grand jury included I in its indictment a son-in-law, a sister, a cousin and a nephew of Senator Den- ! nis Chavez, of that State. Senator ! Chavez last spring made the most j ardent and moving plea for the rejection of the Hatch Amendment to take politics out of relief. Should he again open his mouth on the subject he would be laughed to scorn, to say the least. Then there is the case of Senator Morris Sheppard. Last spring he apparently did not believe there was any politics in relief administration for he voted against both tjie Hatch and Austin amendments. But now Senator Senator Shepard knows what has been going on from his experience as chair- ,man of the Committee on Campaign Expenditures -- and he has had the courage and honesty to shun partisanship and say so. Let it be recalled that the Hatch Amendment in the Senate was defeated by the close vote of 39 to 37, while the more esvere Austin Amendment was defeated 35 to 33. Even then a number of Democrats, as well as all the Republicans, were fed up with the political Mr. Hopkins. Now they are more determined than ever that they will not be undone by any Praetorian Guard led by Mr. Hopkins. Hopkins SusDected of Ambition There is still another factor which points to Mr. Hopkins' early downfalls It is the suspicion that he very definitely cherishes ambitions, believe it or not, to be the Democratic^ Presidential nominee in 1940. It has been whispered around that one reason why Federal relief rolls are not decreased in response to improved business conditions-- even in years in which there are no elections--is that Mr. Hopkins wishes to maintain and build up this relief army as a political machine to further his Presidential aspirations. For that reason alone there are a number of Democrats who will join hands with the Republicans.: in the Senate .to clip Mr. Hopkins1 power. First will come an investigation--the first real, genuine investigation conducted into Mr. Hopkins' activities. It will not be aimed at relief--for that will be maintained as long as necessary; it will be aimed at Mr. Hopkins, his satellites and th£ Democratic machine bosses who have .undertaken to use relief for their political advantage. It wil be a merry party--and when it is over, perhaps, it will not be necessary to do anything about Mr. Hopkins: Despite his rhinoceros hide, perhaps a sensitive spot; will be found-- and perhaps Mr. Hopkins will get sick and resign to go into business^, After all, you cannot expect a great'patriot like Harry Hopkins to sacrifice his entire life~to the public feervice!
