CONSERVATIVES CENTER , WRATH ON HOPKINS . CLOSE FRIEND OF F. R BESET ON TWO FRONTS TO BE ASSAILED AS REMKF POLICY CHAMPION t LEADERSHIP OF LEFT WING PROVOKED ENMITY. WASHINGTON, Nov. 14. The man whom the president chose as his com panion on election evening and for the rather dreary Journey back to Washington Is the same who will bear the brunt of the conservatives' forth coming onslaught against the New Deal. It Is fair to say that no Indi vidual In American public life is more cherished by the president, or more detested by conservatives, than this man Harry Lloyd Hopkins. The fire will rake Hopkins from two directions. The works progress administration Is the most bitterly criticized agency In the government. It flagrantly political management in some states has weakened its defend ers, while its enemies are envenomed by fear of its political power. It has Its friends at court among them anti-New Deal Democratic senators who control the WPA officials in their bailiwicks but even among the most ardent New Dealers there la talk of reexamination of relief pol icy. And Hopkins is Works Progress administrator, Inventor of the work relief system, and the man who sold the Idea to the president. And then Hop k I na was also tbe president' chief lieutenant in last summer's fruitless purge. He Is the closest of White House advisers on general policy, the most aggressive, and the acknowledged leader of the left wing or New Dealer group. As the leader of the New Dealers quite as much as In his capacity as WPA administrator, he will be the chief target of rebellious orthodox Demo crats and angry Republicans. Every effort will be made to persuade the president to Imitate the Israelites, who used to drive an annual "scape goat" into the desert after their priests had cursed the poor animal with all the sins of the people for that year. Although he will be portrayed as an unalloyed monster, there Is much that la engaging about Harry Hop kins. He Is a high-minded and ideal istic man whose good intentions there is no reason to question, whether or not you think them merely more pavement for hell. He Is passionately loyal to the president, financially quite disinterested, and well-informed and Intelligent. His honest ambition Is to Improve the lot of the common man. And at the same time, unlike most Idealists and reformers, he is a (Continued on Page Four.) 0. S. C. IMPROVEMENTS ARE APPROVED BY WPA WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.

CONTINUED STRIFE MEANS INJURY TO ALL LABOR, WORD Union Convention Told Col lective Bargaining Will Be Furthered by United Movement, Cooperation PITTSBURGH, Nov. 14. (AP) President Roosevelt sent a plea for labor peace and unity to the first constitutional convention of the Committee for Industrial Organiza tion today, declaring "continued dis sension can only lead to loss of influence and prestige to all labor." It was the second time within re cent weeks the nation's chief execu tive had dispatched a plea for labor peace to an organized labor conven tion. He sent a similar message to the house convention of the Ameri can Federation of Labor. Cooperation Needed Mr. Roosevelt said to the conven tion, as he did to the A. P. It, meeting: 'If the great gains already made are to be consolidated for the bene fit of workers as well as manage ment, it la essential that there be cooperation among the wage earn ing groups, and because of this. I venture to express the hope, as I did also to the American Federation of Labor convention delegates, that every possible door to access to peace and progress In the affairs of organized labor in the United States be left open. Continued dissension can only lead to loss of influence and prestige to all labor. On the other hand, col lective bargaining will be furthered by a untied labor movement making for cooperation, and labor peace which will be In the Interest of all Americans." Lewis Hits Nazis John L. Lewis, militant leader of the CIO greeted by the thunderous cheering and the fanfare of bands. opened the first constitutional con vention of CIO today with a slash ing attack on foes of Industrial unionism and European oppression of the Jews. For several minutes the 600 dele gates and CIO followers massed In the convention hall stood and cheer ed the CIO chairman. A band roared out with "Happy Days Are Here Again" and the stern-visaged CIO leader finally grinned and waved his enthusiastic followers to their seats. In his opening address, broken frequently by tumultuous applause. Lewis said the CIO, in its first step toward the formation of a perma nent organization to rival the Ameri can Federation of Labor, offered "a program of rational procedure and orderly conduct." Striking out at criticism and slan der, which he said had been leveled against his Industrial union move ment, Lewis said the CIO stood for "the protection of the privileges of all Americans, whether they be Gentiles or Jews, or any creed or religion, or of any school of thought that maintains respect for our in stitutions."

Great Britain Protests Nazi Newspaper Sculptor Springs Surprise With Admission of Murder DEGREE PLEA BY IRWIN IN TRIPLE CRIME NEW YORK, Nov. 14. (AP) Rob ert Irwin, eccentric young sculptor on trial for the Oedeon triple slay ing of Easter, 1937. abruptly pleaded guilty to second degree murder to day. Samuel S. Lelbowltz. defense coun sel, first gave an Indication of the plea when, after the noon recess, the eight Jurors who had been selected, were excused from the courtroom. Leibowitz began addressing General Sessions Judge James G. Wallace, j going Into detail about Irwin's back- ground. The attorney previously had described the sculptor as being "crany j as a bed bug." Irwin was Indicted for the slaylngs i of Mrs. Mary Gedeon, her daughter, Veronica, a photographers model, and Frank Byrnes, 38, a lodger. He was brought to trial for Byrnes' death. The trial opened last Monday. Llebowlts said Irwin was about 31 years old. a native of Los Angeles, born, the lawyer said, "In a tent, practically in a, mud hut. Of the original family of five, he said, only Irwin and two brothers, who are in western penitentiaries "on long terms." tilebowlts proceeded, are alive. Irwin, he went on, "understands fully what Is transpiring." "But, nevertheless he is Insane and has been Insane most all of his life," he said. The lawyer added Irwin was afflicted with dementia praeeox. Mrs. Gedeon and her daughter and Byrnes were slain in their Beekman Hill apartment. Arrested after a month's long search Irwin explained he had "accidentally borrowed three lives." Liebowits spoke of Irwin's confine ment In various Institutions over a period of more than three years. "He thinks he can project himself Into the future and even change forms of matter into other forma," he said. Second degree murder carries a penalty of 30 years to life. To make certain the sculptor would never be free again. Asst. Dlst. Atty. Jacob Roscnblum asked he plead guilty to all three Indictments, and asked Judge Wallace to have the sentences run consecutively. This would mean a minimum of 60 years. Judge Wallace accepted the plea and set November 38 as the date for sentence. Irwin was asked to corroSoraj. his plea of guilty, He jumped to his feet, and In a high querulous voice began to make a speech. Three court officers watch ed him alertly. His voice was im passioned, but most of the time he was incoherent. "I actually do not admit -one mur der." he shouted. "I looked up the word murder In the dictionary and it said the ma licious killing of one person by an other. There was nothing malicious In what I did."
