Hopkins May Cut Relief

HYDE PARK, N. Y.--Harry Hopkins, Federal Relief Administrator, indicated tonight after a series of conferences with President Roosevelt that relief expenditures may be slashed during the next fiscal year. Asked what recommendations he would make as to new appropriation, he observed:

"I do not know what it will be, but undoubtedly it will be a figure related to a smaller WPA than we now have. I look to see the relief curve in America go down at an early date, possibly before election in spite of what some political enemies think."
