PRESIDENT DELAYS INDUSTRY POLICY Recommendation to Con- gress to Be Withheld Pend- ing Study of Plans. By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt will withhold a recommendation to Congress on a pro- posal for Government-supervised pro- duction and competition control by in- dustry itself until he has examined the various programs advanced by busi- ness, labor and ccngressional leaders. There appeared today to be every Indication that the President’s views coincided with those of Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New Ycrk, who heads a committee of Senators and economists which has agreed on a plan indorsed by the Chamber of Ccmmerce of the United States. But the President also is considering legislation being drafted by special rep- Tesentatives of labor, headed by Donald Richberg of Chicago, and other rep- Tesentatives of industry. Thus it seemed likely that he would wait until a more general agreement has been reached by all interested ! parties before making a recommenda- | tion to Congress. 1 Farm Remains in Doubt. | ‘Whether the new legislation will be put forward as a modification of the 30- | hour week bill pending in the House, | or as part of the proposed public works program remains to be seen. The public works bill is as much a part of the whole scheme as ccntrol of | industry. It is all aimed at overcom- ing national deflation, putting men ml work, ending cut-throat competition, { raising wages and preventing over- production. Hearings on the 30-hour work week bill—a mcre drastic rival of the volun- tary industrial control plan—were brought to a close yesterday in the House Labor Committee with a new plea from Miss Frances Perkins, Secre- tary of Labor, for insertion of a mini- n“mxn wage requirement in the legisla- tion. She sent up a letter asserting that not only the lowest wages are raised by such legislation, but that the high levels are maintained. The contrary has been argued by spokesmen for la- | bor, who bitterly oppose her plan. Proportionate Raises Seen. “The first result to be expected from an industry indusiry minimum,” said her letter, “would be levelling up of unskilled labor rates within the in- dustry to meet the standard firms. There is a well entrenched custom of paying the skilled worker more than the_unskilled. “Increasing the wage of the unskilled would, therefore, bring pressure in the direction of forcing the wage of the skilled up somewhat in proportion.” The minimum wage law was indorsed also by Alfred P. Sloan, jr., president of General Motors, who announced to the committee willingness to accept shorter work week legislation, but only if thor- oughly changed from the present 30- hour bill. As spokesman of the Na- tional Automobile Chamber of Com- merce, he indorsed changes which would bring it into line with the pro- posals of Gerard Swope, president of General Electric. This would set up an average of 32 hours a week as the normal period of labor for all kinds of public and private employment with the exception of ag- ricultural and domestic workers. TWO HELD AFTER CHASE 25 Gallons of Liquor Seized Near Benning Bridge. Two men were arrested and 25 gal- lons of liquor seized when police early today overtook a liquor-laden car near Benning Bridge after a chase of more than 3 miles. The arrested men gave their names as Edward Saunders, 35, of the 900 block of New York avenue, and Lloyd ‘Williams, 27, of the 800 block of Mount Vernon place. Policemen C. D. Cun- ningham and O. E. Rehbein said they sighted the liquor car near the H Street Northeast Viaduct and gave chase. When they reached the Benning Bridge, the officers said the men abandoned their machine and ran. They were picked up within a short time. BOXING BOUTS ARE OFF Junior Golden Gloves Tourney May Be Held Next Saturday.

By the Assoclated Press. i BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 6—Spring | storms, reaping destruction from the | Mississippi Valley to the Atlantic sea- | board, left 38 known dead in thelr“ wake today and raised to nearly 200 the total of lives taken by Southern tornadoes since March. | Yesterday's twisters, the second of a | series born in the Lower Mississippi| Valley this week, killed 22 in Alabama | and 16 in South Carolina as they | levelled homes and buildings in & mad dance over half a dozen communities. | The winds, accompanied by torrential rains and lightning, did heaviest dam- | age at Helena in West Central Alabama, killing 11 and virtually wiping out the | little town. Four were killed at De-| mopolis, Ala., and 7 in the Brent-Cen- | terville, Ala. section. At Belton, near | Anderson, S. C.. 10 more died; 4 lost their lives in the Lebanon section of | Greenville County, S. C, and 1 in Laurens County, S. C. | Relief forces today followed the new | trail of storms to aid the homeless and scores of injured and begin rehabilita- ion. 16 DIE IN SOUTH CAROLINA Total Swelled by Death of Three in Hospital. ANDERSON, S. C., May 6 (#).—The death toll from yesterday's tornado which roared across upper South Caro- lina, striking destructively in Anderson, Greenville and Laurens Counties, climbed to 16 today with the deaths of three of the injured in an Anderson hospital. The list of injured ran to more than 100, while the property damage was estimated in excess of $1,000,000. Hun- dreds were homeless. Belton, little industrial community, 10 miles from Anderson, was the hardest hit. The tornado took 10 lives there, | injured scores, demolished 31 houses, | unroofed others and wrecked the Blair Towel mill. Damage to the latter plant alone was estimated at $150,000. 60 Families Homeless. Authorities estimated 60 families were left hcmeless in Belton. Greenville County reported four dead, and Laur- ens, one. The force of the storm was also felt in Union and Chester Counties. Greatest damage, aside from that at Belton, was reported from the Lebanon section of Greenville County, where Mrs. J. Broadus Thompson, her two sons, James, 8, and Richard, 3, and a Negro servant were killed when theif home was demolished. Across the line in Laurens County, Mrs. Elizabeth Spoon, 65, was Kkilled, and many others were injured. ‘The twister cut a swath approximately half a mile wide through the section. The storm skipped over Anderson as hundreds watched its passage, dipped & few times into wooded ccuntry between there and Belton, destroyed the Broad- | way Scheol about half way and then struck again with full fury just on the | outskirts” of Belton. ! Quick action by those who saw the storm coming saved many lives in at least two instances. Workers on the upper floors of the Blair Mill were marched to comparative safety on the ground as the tornado neared, and none of the 200 employes was killed, although | ginumber were injured by falling de- ris. At the Broadway School the teacher led her 30 charges into a nearby ditch as the storm approached, and from its haven they watched the destruction of the building they had just left. Names of Dead.

Cooper told the subcommittee Wed- nesday that Harriman had misappro- priated funds of the bank to conceal an illegal loan for purchase of the bank's stock for the pool. While 25 of the 27 directors were in the pool, he insisted at that' time he did not know whether they were aware of the “irregularities.” “Erroneous Impression.” He wrote Chairman Stephens of the subcommittee today, however, that an “‘erroneous impression” of his ‘testimony had gone oui. He added the directors concerned were preparing a full ex- planation of the pool and desired to be heard by the senatorial inquisitors. “Certain individuals who were di- rectors subscribed on July 3, 1930, each Dr. Hjalmer Schacht, special envoy of Germany's chancellor, Adolf Hitler, shown as he arrived in Washington yes-|to 20 shares of the stock of the Harri- terday for conversations with President Roosevelt.

POLICE CONTINUE EXTORTION PROBE Plot Reports Discounted in " Recent Death of Wom- an’s Husband. Police today were continuing their in- vestigation of the reported attempt to extort money from Mrs. Margaret Hat- ton, 21-year-old widow of Walter Hat- ton, who was killed by a motor cycle near Falls Church, Va., last February, less than two months after their mar- riage. Mcanwhile, Sheriff Eppa Kirby of Fairfax, Va. discounted reports that Hatton had declared, before his death at Emergency Hospital, that he had been pushed in front of the motor cycle operated by Town Sergt. Paul Herman of Falls Church. Points to Gossip. “There’s been a lot of gossip around | here regarding Hatton's death,” said the sheriff, “but, frankly, I don’t place any steek in it Reports that other members of Hat- ton’s family had received numerous threats also were termed ‘“greatly ex- aggerated” by Kirby, who said the dead man’s brother recently reported an at- tempt was made to assault him and his wife as they drove along a lonely road in Fairfax County. ‘Widow Is Guarded. ‘The young widow, whose home is in Clarendon, still is staying at the apart- ment of a friend in the 3300 block of M street, where she has been kept under constant police surveillance since receipt of a note threatening her with death unless she delivered an unnamed sum of money to the writer. The Ross- lyn, Va. terminal, where Mrs. Hatton was instructed to take the money last night, was watched by police, but their vigil proved fruitless.

YORK, Pa., May 6.—A Great Eastern motor bus with 18 passengers was wrecked today on the East Prospect road seven miles east of York. An Indianapolis woman was killed and”14 others injured. The dead passenger was Miss Louise Moller; 38. ‘The wreck occurred on a steep hill on a detour for Lincoln Highway traffic. The bus was traveling toward York and in avolding a crash with a truck coming down the hill the driver struck a culvert and the bus overturned. An- other bus, traveling eastward, plowed into the wreckage. Several of the ‘pass:ngers on the Great Eastern bus were pinned under the wreckage. The driver of the bus, Graham Eng- lish, of Moscow, Pa., who escaped in- jury, said he was traveling eastward from York to Philadelphia. He said the bus got out of control when it struck a muddy surface at the side of the concrete road while trying rection. Among the passengers seriously hurt are: Grace Stringfellow, St. Joseph, Mo.

COLUMBIA, Mo., May 6.—Medals of honor for “distinguished service in Journalism were awarded yesterday by the University of Misouri School of Jour- nalism to the Kansas City Star, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for the “most com- pelling demonstration of editorial re- | sponsibility and leadership” in 1932, the | London Times and the Japan Adver- tiser of Tokio. ! President Walter Williams of the| university and founder of the school, cited the Kansas City Star for “helping to form a clearer understanding of per- plexing conditions, to build an intelli- | gent public sentiment and to sustain | the morale of the Middle West.” Dr. Willams praised the Japan Ad- vertiser, an American newspaper pub- lished in Tokio in the English language, for its “fostering world peace and ef- fecting an understanding and more amicable relations between Japan and America.” Referring to the London Times as the “leading newspaper of the world,” Dr. Williams cited its “impartiality, its learning, its courage and its incorrupt- ible English honor,” in giving the medal to Sir Willmott Lewis, its American INUTE MVSTHE y Can You.

It also suggested the training of un- employed workers in newly developing oocupations, the creation of a program of home-making education, flexible enough to serve the present emergency as well as future needs of all types of homes, as a social responsibility. It also called for training of unadjusted youth to make use of enforced and otherwise wasted leisure. Many Prominent Speakers. Other points include: Tr: the unemployed toward self-improvement; adjusting to a balanced rural life the vast army returning to the country from the cities; rehabilitating the vo- cationally as well as the physically handicapped to economic self-support; training to conserve the morale and health of the unemployed; dissemina- tion of usable information regarding occupations and employment; co-opera- tion with other existing agencies in the | placement of unemployed and dispos- sessed workers, and emergency training of workers in new processes and devices. Dr. Charles A.
