Chicago Blaze.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 10.-Fantastic
ice-covered ruins, from which clouds OF
smoke and steam still drifted skyward
today, marked the spot where 300 fire.
men fought million-dollar grain fire
throughout the night
An explosion followed by burst of
flames late yesterday set off the con-
f1agration in an elevator owned by the
Rosenbaum Grain Corporation on his
toric Goose Island, northwest of the
Loop.
The fact that it occurred on the
coolest day in "a years of weather his
tory in Chicago-when the thermometer
sank to 10 degrees below zero-didnt
make the task of the 80 fire-fighting
companies any easier, as water from
their hose fell in sheets Of ice and
coated the seven-story structure.
However, so far as could be learned,
no casualties occurred, as employees of
the plant had been sent home early,
several hours before the explosion oc-
CURED, on account of the coldness of
the day.
While all firemen suffered frcm cold
and exposure, one, Robert Callahan,
was taken to hospital with both feet
frozen.
As officials began an investigation to-
day they said they could not account
for the blast. Louis Sayre. manager of
the elevator, said about 1000 900
bushels of wheat and corn had been
lost and estimated the loss at approx
imately Sl,000,000.
When firemen saw their efforts to
save the doomed structure go for naugi1t
they turned their attention to adjoin-
ing structures and prevented a spread
of the blaze along the water front
of the north branch of the Chicago
River.
An emblazoned sky was visible from
the Loop and the North Side, draw
ing crowds of spectators, who defied
subzero temperatures and frost bit
ten ears and feet to view the spectacle
While several small blazes, started by
flying embers, were quickly extinguished
by flremen, Joe Kerner's shack across
the river did not fare so well. Kerner.
not knowing of the fire, had been asleep
and barely escaped without shoes or
top clothing before the building burned
to the ground.

PREVENT
FACTORY OPENING
Hudson Company Unable to
Resume Work in Body
Plant.
BY the Associated Press.


DETROIT, February 10.-With 1000
men reported back at work of the 5000
who walked out two days ago, officials
of the Hudson Motor Car Co. today
said they were unable to begin opera
tions at their body plant, as antici-
ated, because of intimidation of en-
ployes by pickets.
The company, shut down since the
strike, had planned to reopen yester-
day. Officials said that others beside
the 1000 who already had returned
desired to come back, but picketers
turned back large numbers at the gates.
Meanwhile they announced the main
plant, where 5000 employees were laid
off when the strike brought a shut
down, had reopened with 1900 men at
work.
At the plants of the Briggs Manu-
featuring Co., where 5000 employees
walked out two weeks ago, pickets were
still active In small numbers, although
the factories were reported by officials
to be under full production on bodies
for the Ford Motor Co. e
officials of both the Hudson and
Briggs companies have declared the
strikes due to Communist agitation.
OF 40 men arrested during disorders
at the Briggs plant, all but four had
been released.

Frazier estimated the Government

Supporters Of the proposal were hope
full Of getting 20 or 25 votes.
President Roosevelt, it was learned
yesterday, wants no time lost in ap-
proving the farm bill and has no in
tention of abandoning it even though
a rise in commodity prices results from
nflationary moves. He desires the farm
legislation to control surpluses which,
he believes, would continue under
higher prices and destroy the effects Of
expanded credit or currency.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace Is
ready to throw the entire administrative
machinery of the farm relief bill in
full operation within six weeks after its
passage. it was learned today.
He was represented as convinced that
the production control features of the
relief bill must be put into operation
to bring about this adjustment and to
raise farm purchasing power to its pre-
war standard

DOUBLE BLOSSOM

Cherry Blooms, Retarded by Cold,
Due to Be Out "75 Per Cent"
Tomorrow.

Frank T. Gartside, chief Of the park
division of the Office of Public Buildings
and Public Parks, today announced that
the double blossom cherry trees in East
Potomac Park will be out Its per cent"
tomorrow.
The park chief said that but for the
cold weather, which retarded the ma
turing Of the blooms, they would be out
in full now.
The high water of the past few days
around Hams Point is expected to leave
debris around the park, detracting from
its appearance, which the park authori-
ties had cleaned up in anticipation Of
cherry blossom time.
The single blooms that edge the Tidal
Basin in their prime have passed away,
Mr.. Gartside said, and with favorable
weather the double blooms should pre-
sent good showing next week.

HOUSE SET TO OPEN
DEBATE ON SHOALS
Democratic Leaders Predict
Approval of Roosevelt
Project Monday.

Debate on development Of the Ten
nessee Valley was to begin in the House
today, with Democratic leaders predict
ing passage Monday Of this Roosevelt
project.
Under q plan approved yesterday by
the Rules Committee, debate was limit
ed to six hours, and any amendments
not offered by the Military Committee,
which considered the bill, were barred.
Even Republicans on the Military
Committee were agreeable to this. Rep
resentative Goss Of Connecticut, one OF
the plans strongest opponents, frankly
said he had suggested blocking amend
ments.
But Chairman McSwain has been 50
eminently fair in considering this bill
in committee" Goss told the Rules
Committee, "and its scope Is so broad,
that, while opposed to the measure. I
for one would be willing to have 1t 60
through in the best form possible. We
of the minority felt the best interests
Of all would be considered by handling
such an involved bill In this way"
The entire development project. In
cluding Muscle Shoals, was assailed
vigorously by Goss and i've fellow Re-
publicans in the Military Committee IN
q minority report, however.
Their chief reasons were:
Because, in our opinion, 1t fails
adequately to carry out the purposes Of
section l24 of the national defense act,
under whose provisions the Wilson
Dam and the nitrate plants at Muscle
Shoals were constructed; because 1t
compels the Government to engage In
the production and sale of power and
fertilizer in competition with its cit
izens, and because 1t commits the
United States to q program 50 vastly
sweeping, yet SO vague in its extent,
that it threatens dangerously to in
crease the bonded Indebtedness Of the
Nation to q point Of impairing its
credit"
