WASHINGTON, May 25.-P)-Harry
L. Hopkins' intervention in
Iowa politics created a furious
storm today in the senate, where
Senator Wheeler (D-Mont.) de
clared that the relief administra
tor might "just as well have put
a slip in the pay env elope of

him how to vote.
Wheeler referred ' to Hopkins

for Representative Wearin (D-Ia.)
over Senator Gillette (D-Ia.),
both running in the ' senatorial
primary. ' . "
Same as Order to
Reliefers, Charged
Senator Clark (D-Mo.) said the
Hopkins statement was the same
as saying to relief workers:
"If you don't vote for Wearin.
you'll lose your jobs. If you vote
for Gillette your families may go
hungry." i
Clark, Wheeler and Gillette
joined, in demanding that Hop
kins withdraw his remark in View
of his official position.
"It's the only manly thing he
can do," Clark told the senate.
"It can't be said the adminis
tration does not know about it."
Wheeler said. "The administra
tion is going to have to take full
responsibility for statements by
Ickes, Hopkins, Wallace and
Farley."
Wheeler said the American peo
ple "resent" ; every attempt to use
"relief funds to play politics or
pay political debts" and he would
see they were fully informed.
He asserted relief lunds appar
ently were to be used to defeat
senators "because someone does
