Flood Dangers Very Acute h This State
(Continued from Page 1)

Repair gangs were working at Washington so that train service between Torrington and Winsted might be resumed.
 Dynamite Was useo to loosen a jam at Washington in the Shepaug river where the water was reported the highest in 20 years. Explosives also were used at Woodbury in the Pomeraug river.
 At the Dutch Point station of the Hartford Electric Light company, where hourly readings are taken on the Connecticut river, it was said conditions were more favor able from Bellows Falls, Vt, north ward. The rise in the river at Bellows Falls was said to be but little and if the ice holds until the lower river can be broken up, much of hte danger will have been avoided. A cold snap in Vermont was said to have helped in this respect.
 The Connecticut rose to 26 feet last year, the highest since 1927 when 29 feet were measured. Ice in the Hartford area was reported as much as IS inches thick
 A trolley car loaded with passerl- gers was stranded in deep water covering the tracks in the Stratfield section of Bridgeport last night and passengers were taken off in motor trucks.
 A channel was broken in the Thames river from New London to Norwich after five days of break ing through ice from five to 15 inches thick.

ROOSEVELT CALLS
PARLEY ON n. R. A.
Meets New Board Today.
Price-Fixing Policy Hangs
in Balance.

BY the Associated Press.
The future of price-fxing in N. r. A.
codes hung in the balance today as
President Roosevelt summoned the
new National Industrial Recovery
Board to the White House.
Indications point to a policy OF
removing many price and production
controls gradually from the Blue Eagle
codes.
The President himself has raised a
question about the wisdom Of many
of these controls. Donald r. Richberg,
chairman of the Policy Board which
is co-ordlnating the work of the alpha
betical agencies, has told business men
they should steer toward sound COM
petition" in a free market.
Inventory Is Made.
The Industrial Recovery Board.
which is headed BY S. Clay Williams,
tobacco manufacturer, was paying its
first formal visit to the White House
today. 1t had been holding all-day
sessions for a week, making an in
yentory' of the tasks ahead.
There was no public announcement
to indicate that today'S conference
would plunge directly into the prob
lens confronting the recovery agency,
but it was believed they would be out
lined, at least. Out of this and sue
ceeding meetings will grow "evolu-
tionary" changes in N. r. A.
The board is confronted with ma
jor problem of price-f1Xing. Hugh S.
Johnson, when he was administrator
fixed minimum prices of four popular
brands of cigaretteS-13 cents pack
or two for a quarter. This price-fiX-
ing order expires next Saturday and
the board must determine whether it
should be extended.
1t was believed the order would be
extended until an inquiry determines
how it has worked.
U. S. to Appeal Rebuff.
A Federal court decision in Mem
phis Saturday brought indications
from N. r. A. that not all price de-
vices are considered bad. The court
ruled against price fixing under the
lumber code Blackwell Smith, acting
general counsel of N. R. A. promptly
announced that the Blue Eagle agency
would appeal.
He said price cutting is lone of the
most dangerous forms of unfair COM
petition" and that it was the intent
of Congress to prevent such unfair
tactics.
Richberg himself has said there is
no doubt of the necessity in some Spe-
cific instances of preventing destruc-
tive price cutting" Smith quoted
Richberg as saying that national re-
source industries might be among
those in which some price control is
desirable.

Frisch. He did volunteer to run, but
then, Dizzy's always ready to work.
He's not merely fine pitcher. He's

Controller of Currency Losing
Former Independent Status

Secretary Morgenthau has taken
a close interest in applicants for po-
sitions as bank examiners and other
duties in the controllers bureau.
Under former regimes the Secretary's
approval was largely perfunctory.
In one or two cases the Treasury
has sent its own man to investigate
closed bank situations, and it has
concerned itself actively with the per-
sonnel and methods employed in
others.
Preparations are being made for
co-ordinating the legal staff of the
controller with the Treasury's general
counsel, Herman Oliphant, who al
ready has taken such action with the
Internal Revenue and Customs Bu-
reaus and the Procurement Division
The controllers Office is part of the
Treasury, but in the past has been
almost autonomous for all practical
purposes. The controller makes his
report direct to Congress.

AGREES TO RULE
UPON 'NEWDEAL'
Gold Payment Suspension
and Oil Production Acts
at Issue.
DECISION is REFUSED
IN ALUMINIUM co. CASE
Tribunal Also Will Pass on Power
of Senate to Punish William
P. MacCracken, Jr.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court agreed today
to pass on the conStitutionality of vital
New Deal legislation-a section of the
recovery act applying to oil produc-
ton and the suspension of gold pay
mentS.
This will be the first Roosevelt ad-
miniStration legislation to run the
gauntlet of the high court.
The court refused to pass upon the
validity of the act prohibiting gold
boarding:
Baush Ruling Refused.
It also refused to rule on the action
of the Second Circuit Court Of Appeals
ordering a retrial Of suit brought
against the Aluminium Co. of America
by the Baush Machine Tool Co. for
50 900 900. for alleged violation of the
antitrust law.
The court, however, promised a
ruling on the power of the Senate
to punish William P. MacCracken, Jr..
a former Assistant Secretary of Com
merce. for contempt as result OF his
failure to produce airmail records.
1t also agreed to decide whether
Bordens Farm Products Co., Inc,
of New York City has the right to
reduce the price OF its milk to stores
The cases challenging the validity
of the national industrial recovery
act were brought by the Panama Re-
finine Co. and the Amazon Petroleum
Corp, both of East Texas.
The Federal District Court for East
Texas ruled against the Government,
but the Fifth Circuit Court Of Appeals
took the opposite view.
Gold Act Is AssaiIed.
Gold payment suspension legisla-
ton was attacked by Norman c. Nor
man of New York City, who con-
tended that a person owning gold
bond is entitled to payment in gold or
in currency of the gold equivalent
value.
In the gold boarding case. lower
courts have held that Frederick C.
Campbell. a New York City lawyer,
should stand trial for failure to report
to the Government the metal in his
possession.
In the Aluminium Co. case, the
Baush Co. of Springfield, Mass, filed
suit in the Federal District Court
for Connecticut and jury decided In
favor of the Aluminium Co., in which
the Mellon family has large interest.
The Second Circuit Court of APP
peals directed new trial, holding that
certain evidence excluded at the first
trial, offered by the BauSh company,
should be admitted.
Aluminium Monopoly Charged.
The Baush company contended the
Aluminium company monopolized COM
merce in ingot aluminium, MAINTAIN
ing prices for it at an unreasonably
high level and selling manufactured
aluminium products at such a marrow
profit as to destroy competition.
1t insisted the trial court was wrong
in refusing to permit it to attempt
to show that the spread beween the
price of the raw and the manufac-
tured aluminium fixed by the Alumni
mum Co. was not sufficient to permit
the BauSh Co. to operate without
a loss.
The Aluminium Co. asserted the
Baush Co. purchased its aluminium
from foreign producers, and claimed
the right to sell at a price which
yielded it a profit.

quired to sell at a price sufficiently
