HOPKINS SLATED
FOR C
GROOMING FOR '40
WPA Chief Called Roose-
velt's Choice for
White House
'
The News Washington Bureati
WASHINGI ON Dec 16—Harry
L Hopkins WPA administrator
seems certain to be elevated to the
Cabinet in the vacancy created by
the resignation of Commerce Sec-
retary Daniel C Roper
This probable promotion of the
relief administrator to the official
family has many implications
Not least of these is the desire of
the staunch New Deal contingent
to make Mr Hopkins the Demo-
cratic presidential candidate in
1940—an ambition shared by Mr
Hopkins and avidly promoted by
his lieutenants who have been busily
taking soundings over the country
in recent weeks
Mr Hopkins also is represented
by those who should know includ-
ing some not favorable to him or
his presidential ambitions as Mr
Roosevelt's first choice as a suc-
cessor in the White House though
the President has a realistic under-
standing of the difficulties in the
way
Roosevelt's Confidant
The WPA administrator is now
Mr Roosevelt's closest confidant
The President wants to keep him in
the Administration in a top place
This desire fits in nicely with the
scheme to place Mr Hopkins in the
line of succession
Transfer of Mr Hopkins from
WPA administrator to the particu-
lar Cabinet post is designed to pro-
mote this project in two ways:
First by removing him from the
line of fire where he now finds him-
self as a result of the unfavorable
reaction from his recent promi-
nence in a political role and the
evidence of political activity by
WPA New Deal opponents in
Congress are ready to open fire on
the WPA head when the session be-
gins in January
Second to place him in a posi-
rltion where he can show himself to
business as an administrator and
build hiniself up with the business
element
Take Bid Seriously
New Dealers believe that in the
year and a half before the 1940
convention the public will forget
the derelictions charged to Mr Hop-
kins and will accept him in a dif-
ferent light
Until the more recent forays into
the political arena—with rather ill
success—he had won commendation
they point out in many quarters for
his administration of perhaps the
toughest job in the New Deal
Practical politicians claim that
the relief albatross which hangs
about his neck bars ' the door to
' him and yet of late they privately
have come to consider what they
term the "threat" of his nomina-
tion more seriously
This is because they have learned
of the President's real friendship
and belief in the relief adminis-
trator and because they figure from
this distance that Mr Roosevelt1
still will be able to control the 1940
convention despite the split between
New Dealers' and conservatives
Ready For Campaign
For this reason a coterie of con-
servatives at the Capitol already
Is preparing to use the revelations
of the Sheppard campaign commit-
tee regarding WPA political ac-
tivity to smear the presidential
campaign of Harry Hopkins" as 1
one put it
I
It is not likely however that
any serious fight will be made on I
the Hopkins nomination for a
cabinet post Cabinet officers are
regarded as personal presidential
appointments and usually are rati-
fied perfunctorily
The arguments for Mr Hopkins'
appointment as secretary of corn- I
fierce spread about by New Dealers
of late are to the effect that busi-
ness would be dealini with a man
who is close to th: President and
really represents him and thus
would be in a better position
Mr Roper occupied no such role
1 He was no in the confidence of I
the White House and was never
able to give business any accurate
guidance as to prospective Admin-
lstration policies
Seek Successor
All the same business is not ex-
pected to throw up Its hats over
Mr Hopkins at least at the outset
The WPA administrator has be-
come an Administration liability in
his present role This is admitted
by New Dealer who will stand
staunchly by him but say that the
charges of WPA political activity
—which they are unwilling to admit
on a large scale—have reacted
against the New Deal i
Consequently the idea is to ap-
point a different type of man as his
auccessor someone drawn prefer- !
ably from business or industry al
practical type of administrator who
at the same time will have a sym-
pathetic understanding of the un-
derlying objectives of the WPA
IS program
His first job would be to make
it plain that politics must have no
part in relief 1
The right man will be hard to
find The canvass is now under
way I

Sound business interests say they
want amendments to make the act
more fair to capital Some propose
outright repeal
The American Federation of ta-
bor is committed to specific changes
which it contends are essential "lest
our unions be rendered impotent
by the unjust decrees of the board"
The Congress of Industrial Organi-
zation opposes all proposed amend-
ments The U S Chamber of Commerce
at its last convention advocated re-
peal of the law
President George H Davis of the
chamber has advocated amend-
ments which would relieve the em-
ployer from a responsibility to bar-
gain with unions demanding a
closed shop or a check-off system
to eliminate sole bargaining rights
for unions and to require the NLRB
to honor employer's demands for
elections to determine the proper
bargaining representatives of their
employes
Although the National Association
of Manufacturers had long advo-
cated major changes In the law its
recent convention in New York
passed a resolution calling for "co-
operation with the Government"
and shelved resolutions to revise the
act
SIMPLICITY Is
AVIATION NEED
Benny Howard Speed Flier
Knows His Stuff
So Give Ear
So when Benny makes the state-
ment that is set forth in the open-
ing paragraph I urge all of you in
and out of the industry to give ear'
"In the final analysis" he con-
tinues "regardless of the excellence
of the design from an economic:
standpoint the safe completion of
a trip is likely to depend on the
least capable of a possibly large !
group of pilots flying the particular
model ship It is when this weakest I
pilot and the worst operating con-
ditions meet that the design may
become critical
''The difference between a highly
complicated airplane and one that
is easy to fly and simple to operate
could easily mean the difference
between the normal completion of
a trip andthe opposite"
Simplicity that's what Benny !
wants and so do I and the rest of
the 21000 active pilots in the
United States If it isn't simple it's
no good

When he goes on the commission
with Record Bond and A S J
Shaw in January he will be the
only newly-elected state official
outside of Mr Phillips going to
the Capitol
One of his first moves will be
to make a thorough and de-
tailed survey of freight rate
differentials The Corporation
Commission conducts the In-

that may lead to cheaper
schedules for Oklahoma
"I recognize this" he said "as

Mr Weems also will attempt to
restore harmony to the commission
Mr Bond and Mr Shaw after rul-
