B—2 = i i FLOOD CURB PLAN STIRS RELIEF ISSUE Earmarking Feud May Be Reopened by Report on War Department. By the Associnted Press, Congress received recommendations today for flood control appropriations that may reopen the dispute over ear- marking the $1,500,000,000 relief fund. A Senate-House committee report on the bill appropriating $194.000,000 for the War Department's civil func- tions proposed that $52,500,000 of re- lef funds be devoted to flood control | measures along the Mississippi and| other rivers. It advocated also a direct appro- priation of the same amount. Chairman Copeland of the Senate | portion of the committee said the pro- posal was unusual. as it in effect would alter the relief program after its ap- | proval. Other Benators said privately they | believed President Roosevelt would veto the appropriation measure be- | czuse of the size of the flood control | projects. The committee report represented a | compromise on flood-control expendi- | tures. The House voted to appropriate | $30,000,000 for projects authorized last year in the Copeland omnibus act and | $45,000,000 for those included in the Overton act. | The Senate doubled both sums and | proposed also to authorize the Army | Engineers to enter contracts up to $48,000,000. All would be available for the fiscal year that began July 1.| 1f some of the projects are financed | by relief funds, Army Engineers said they cannot determine which items ! will be undertaken until they deter-| mine the availability of relief labor. A large group in the House originally | wanted to earmark $45,000,000 of the | relief appropriation for flood-control work, but administration leaders ob- Jected. An informal agreement was reached, | after a White House conference, pro- viding that more than $45,000.000 would be spent through the Army En- gineers for flood-control projects. This ‘was not written into the measure. WOMAN’S RACE WITH DEATH FUTILE D. C. Man Dies in Alliance, Ohio, Hospital as Fiancee Speeds There by Plane.

RISE OVER ’36 FOUND IN FIRST QUARTER Reserve Board Finds Industrial Profits, However, Slightly Under Preceding Period. By the Associated Press. The Federal Reserve Board reported yesterday that profits to major in- dustrial corporations during the first quarter of this yvear were slightly be- low those of the preceding quarter but were 50 per cent above the first three months of 1936. In its monthly bulletin, the board said: “The decline from the final quarter of last year is attributed in part to seasonal factors, in part to labor difficulties, particularly in the auto- mobile industry, and in part to in- creasing costs, “The increase as compared with the first quarter of 1936 was chiefly in various groups of corporations in the heavy industries, including iron and £teel, building materials, household supplies, raflrond equipment and ma- chinery.” The board said the number of per- sons emploved in non-agricultural pursuits continued to increase this year and now is between 8,500,000 and 9.000,000 over March, 1933, when em- ployes totaled about 26,000,000, SHOT VICTIM RECOVERS ‘Wife Released From Bureau After Investigation.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, Disabled Veteran Dies of Burns, With Visions He Was at Front Claude Griffith, 50-year-old World War veteran, died in Emergency Hos- pital today of burns suffered early S8unday in a rooming house fire that turned his memory back to the horrors of lying wounded in a shell hole in the St. Mihiel front 19 years ago. Griffith never reraembered exactly what happened Sunday morning when firemen rescued him from a smoke- filled room in the 1200 block of I street. He was believed to have gone to sleep with a lighted cigarette in his hand that set his bed afire. Paul M. Van Horn, 40, a fellow vet- eran and neighboring roomer, discov- ered the fire when he heard Grifith shouting ‘“‘get me out of this shell hole.” He could not find the suffering man in the smoke-filled room. Fire- men located him under the bed, un- conscious. Hospital attaches said the shock of awakening amid the torturing flames apparently had carried Griffith’s mind back 19 years. He had been rescued from a shell hole on July 4, 1918, dur- ing the St. Mihiel advance after being left as dead. He was in action there as a first sergeant of the 354th Ma- chine Gun Battalion. He thought he Wwas in a base hospital in France when he fegained consciousness. The wooden leg that Grifith had worn in place of his left leg, lost in France, was consumed by the flames that caused fatal burns on the re- maining stump and on his sound right leg.
