Ohio's Governor Davey and Reliefer Hop kins have been shooting paoer wad at each other for months Tt began when Hopkins demanded, soon after Davey 'a Inauguration, that Ohio piy a larger percentage of re1 tef costs. Hopkins WTOtc scorching letters to Davey, which were answer at a similarly rising temperature; Hopkins pointed out the federal government paid 78. 83, P0 and 78 per cent of the Ohio relief load in four recent months. He demandfd that Ohio pay at least $2,000,000 monthly, or about 20 per cent Davey met that demand with a re fusal, accompanied by charjes th"t the Ohio relief set-up was ineffici ent, full of red tape and run iy Washington, although the state hrd the responsibility. He aked Hop kins to take it over two weeks ago. At that time. Hopkins refused on tue ground that it was the state's Job to run relief. The situation attracted national attention only when Hopkins picked up a mud-pi full of graft charges jyid hurled it at Davey and "certain ifigh officials." saying they were shaking down businessmen, and Davey replied with a charge of libel. The assumption at federal emerg ency relief headquarters that sev eral people may get soiiod in the current melee, but no one will get hurt. Eve ry one close to the government knows there - has been a certain amount of favoritism, tneftciency and red tape In relief. Such things are always hard to prove, but all admit they exist. They, could hardly, be avoided in the emergen handling of that much money. The only argument is about how much money is Inefficiently sprnt. Everyone has hia own Idea snout that Vou may be sure, however, that snoopy congressmen and others have not been able to find very much in provable form, else there would have been a congressional instigation long before this. . Another reason there has not been f an investigation is that congressmen generally believe Hopkins (whom they do not like) has tried hard to ne fatr-mlndcd. He has not been en tirely fre from political tnfluence. but neither has he been noticeably amenable to it. For instance. Hopkins has not played ball directly with Postmaster Genersl Farley at any time, nlthotuh occasionally he has felt wh?.t might be called the Farley tnlluence. as relayed to him by the highest third part Ips. Farley does not know ;t and Hop kins hopes the postm as w-gcner.il never will find out. but one influ ential FERA official (an engineer) is not only a Republican, but once or ani7ed a Hoover club. Hopkins' tactics are shrewdly oV sipnpd to keep his own tvsl dry He -lAs stopped pvery previous publicity u-gc about FERA graft by announc ing suspiotous circumstmc himself, before anyone else could.

The Frrnch and Italian ambassa dors handed protests against viola- tlons of the military sections of the Versailles treaty to frigidly formal German foreign minister at Berlin. The Paris government simultaneously looked to Geneva and told the League of Nations the reich decision to rearm "threatened to disturb the peace." League observers said the league faces the gravest crisis in tta his tory. France requested an extraordi nary session of the council be held and quick telephone calls were made to consult members on the setting of a date. British and continental capitals, and Washington, closely watched de velopments, London taking the view, unofficially, that the Berlin attitude is an expected Jolt.
