Senator Lewis couched his proposal
as kind of challenge, which he sent
in letter yesterday to Senator Daniel

If Senator Hastings, on behalf OF
the Republicans, should accept the
challenge to series Of joint debates
the issue of the new deal would be de-

The Illinois Senator urged the seri-

to come before the American people
since the Civil War-aS a reason for
holding the proposed joint debates
Through such debates, he contended

night for Max Cosyns and Neree Van
derlist, who in spite of nightfall made
no attempt to land as their big sphere
drifted over Yugoslavia.
Owing to complete darkness and
heavy rains in Northern Yugoslavia,
the balloon disappeared from sight
after it crossed the border at ! :40
pm, E. S. T.
Apprehension was heightened by a
report from Praha, Czechoslovakia,
that two amateur wireless operators
there picked up an 8 o 8 message
from the balloonists saying they were
in danger.
The fear was felt here that the
two men might have perished IN the
rarified atmosphere owing to the fail
ure Of their oxygen apparatus.
Alarm was increased by the fact
that the balloonists had been ex-
pected to land either in Switzerland or
Bavaria before nightfall.
If the balloonistS attempted to land
in this moonless, starless night In
Southeastern Europe they would face
the hazard of landing on top of q
mountain, in the sea, or in q forest.

Pielik was sentenced to to 10 years
for grand larceny in 1882.
For more than an hour the battle
ragged between guards and convicts,
and only volleys from guards rifles
brought quiet to the prison yard.
Damage to Shop 5000.
Several inmates were in serious con-
diton, prison officials said. and three
guards were slightly injured. Damage
to the print shop was estimated at
$25,0O0.
Peace was established in the prison,
which houses youths and young men
convicted of felonies, an hour after
the rioting broke out. Tonight
prisoners resumed their routine with
little evidence of the disturbance.
A squabble between two inmates
precipitated the affray during the
fourth inning of base ball game be-
tween a prison team and the st.
Nicholas Hotel Team of Spring
field, Ill.
At the first sign of trouble, several
convicts jumped into the fight, and
soon the youths were milling about in
disorder. Three prison officials at
tempted to quell the disturbance, but
were pounded upon by leaders OF the
insurrection. and slightly injured.
They were Capt. Burt A. Daven-
port, Roy SheoSerd, guard, and H
x. McClintock, an instructor in the
prison school,
A club which McClintock carried
was seized and Davenport was struck
over the head with it. The SO guards
on duty ordered all inmates to their
cells.
Nine hundred prisoners of the South
dollhouse were herded into their cells.
Inmates of the north cell block were
marshalled to a court, while small
band of rioters barricaded themselves
in the prison print shop.
AS guards advanced on the shop,
the rioters fired the structure, and
made a dash for the prison walls.
They were stopped only by a volley
fired directly at them
Eight or 10 fell wounded, and the
guards succeeded in restoring order
Names of the wounded prisoners were
not Immediately available. Warden
E. H. Lewis was absent from the
prison at the time of the riot. His
assistant, Thomas P. McCue, was Ia
charge.
Tonight guards began a check of all
inmates, fearful that some might have
escaped during the height of the con-
fusion when both smoke and noiss
would have covered their movements.

Hugh S. Johnson will continue at
N. r. AS helm for an indefinite
period.
THE President asked me to go right
on" johnson said yesterday after a
conference with Mr.. Roosevelt.
The presidential word was accepted
as command by the militant ad-
ministrator who for more than year
has personified the Blue Eagle to
American industry. Apparently the
White House expression put halt to
JohnSon'S own desires for a quick re-
turn to private life.
Ready to Go Ahead.
But if johnson was disappointed at
the thought of longer tenure direct
ing industry. his smile on leaving the
White House didn't show It, He said
he was ready to 60 ahead and reor-
ganize N. r. A. in way to "de-per-
sonalize" the Governments industrial
machinery.
I'VE are working out reorganiza-
ton plan," Johnson said.
But just now johnson looks toward
vacation. He plans to leave We'd
nesday with Mrs. johnson for a nearby
seaside resort and-at President
Roosevelt's direction-take a rest.
Board control of N r. A. is the re-
organization plan being drafted by
johnson. He has announced his will
ingness, and yesterdays White House
meeting apparently confirmed it, to
act as chairman of the board.
IN. r. A. is too big job now for
one man." is Johnson'S view. 'I don't
feel I can act efficiently any more"
May Be Like War Board.
The board he has in mind probably
will resemble the War Industries
Board on which he once served.
Each OF its nine members was allotted
a certain field of work and specialized
in details of that field. But only the
board as q whole could determine
! policies.
Some skeptical eyebrows were raised
at II. r. A. at the thought of John
| sons -personalizing" his Blue Eagle
organization through board he would
head. A lot of his co-workers couldn't
| quite conceive of johnson serving as
the boards chairman without COM
pletely dominating it with his force
full personality. This probably would
be true If the board we're composed Of
l experienced N. r. A. personnel.
If possible, Johnson would make his
board Craftsmanship part-time job
in the plan he hopes to put before Mr..
Roosevelt in three weeks. Then he
would like to see reorganization COM
pleted in two or three months.
Gives Riehberg Cooperation.
OF major Importance in the project
is harmonizing N. r. A. with the anti
trust laws. johnson, a Staunch advo-
cate of Government-cont COM
petition as opposed to unbridled
competition, is cooperating with
Donald Richberg, director Of the Ma
tional Emergency Council, in seeking
machinery to reconcile the conflict.
Just at present the N. r. A. head

agency standing as buffer between

Workers of America, in a four hour
conference after the organization's s
annual convention ended, tonight
planned Nationwide strike in the
cotton textile industry.

call for a similar strike in silk, woolen
and worsted, rayon and allied fields.

tributed to George A. Sloan, president
of the Cotton Textile Institute, that
the union was striking against the
code or Government.
Declaring the date of the strike
would not be disclosed before next
week, President Thomas F. Nc
Mahon said their next step would
be to confer with William Green,
head of the American Federation of
Labor, in Washington.
