Mr.. A. Program Suggested.


BY the Associated Press.
A possibility that the Government
taxing power might be used TO erect
uate a new long range N. K. A. pro-
gram was disclosed today by Chalr-
man DoughtOn of the House ways ana
Means Committee AS administration
leaders sought legislation for tenn

zion.
Meanwhile. 1t was said at the White
House that proposals submitted by 81
or 40 experts for extension of N. X. A.
code principles had not been found TO
conform to the Supreme Court llml-
tation. 1t was added the door was
not necessarily closed to further eX-
ploratiOn.
AS Doughton awaited conferences
with Senate and administration chiefs
on "StOp-gap" legislation. he discussed
the situation with newspaper men.
One asked If lit would be possible
to use the taxing powers of the Gov
eminent to enforce N. r. A. code re-
quirementS.'
Il wouldn't be surprised he replied.
Rather than an attempt 10 Use the

President Roosevelt turned over all
suggestions for the future of N. r. A
10 Attorney General Cummings and
Solicitor General Reed. They and
their aides thus far have failed to find
any one plan or composite which
meets the legal requirements.
In ordering all Government work TO
conform to the code pr'nciples IT was
e-emphaSI7ed TODAY Al the White
House that this would constitute little
more than l per cent of total indus
try
President Roosevelt made no men,
ton of the voluntary code idea in the
press conference late yesterday which
followed a series of meetings with
cabinet and congressional leaders. He
did say that the skeleton Organizat ton
would:
l. Collect business statistics includ-
ing data TO show the effect on industry
and workers of the abandonment of
the old code structure
?. Administer a proposed require
ment that Government purchases
and contracts be placed only with
corporations or contractors VINO I'VE
up to minimum wage and ma Ximum
hour standards
The first of these two functions led
many observers to believe the New
Deal would seek to show the country
conditions we're better before the codes
were scrapped at the mandate of the
Supreme Court. They recalled the
hints that the administration might
/ try for a constitutional amendment
to give the Federal Government power
over certain economic and social
problems.
Mr. Roosevelt declined again yester-
day. however. to announce any plans
in that respect. and the holly debated
question as to what will happen to
the recovery act in the long run re-
, manned unanswered.

C Commissioner Rules
 On Employees Death
Finds Late John J. FIennessey's Injuries Not COm- pensable-SufferedF Fractured Skull in Fall on Walk

Hennessey, the finding says, was employed for such a consid- erable period of time he was vir- tually a pensioner, although he still had the keys to the store and was allowed to come and go at will and do as much or as little work as he saw fit. It was his custom to go to the store and light cer- tain lights which would burn through the night.
 Fell On Sidewalk
 On the late afternoon of May 6, 1894, he crossed South Main street, near the Apothecaries Hall Co. and when on the sidewalk on the Miller & Peck side, dropped to the pavement TWO men W1Ln "nOHl he had just finished talking, ran to him and carried him to door way. Two policemen arrived and sent him to the Waterbury hos- pital. After a superficial examina- tion, he was discharged.
 Subsequently 1t developed the man was suffering from fractured skull and he was sent to St. Mary's hospital. His death occurred some time after that.
 The question before the commis- sioner was whether the deceased was engaged in his employment at the time of his injury. Commis- sioner Lynch finds that he suffered no compensable injury, that he was not on or about the premises of his employer and he had not reached the place of his employ ment when he fell.
 Masaitis Loses
 Commissioner Lynch also dis today the claim of Joseph Masaitis of IA Third street against the Waterbury Button Co.,, hold ing that the claimant failed to sus- tain the burden of proof of his claim that he injured his II n while in the course of his employ ment. The commissioner finds the hand injury was due to boil.

LOANS SUGGESTED
 FOR HOME OWNERS
By PAUL MAY Democrat COrrcSnOndenfl

I
 Washington, D. C., March 20.- Every home owner in Waterbury
 who has a mortgage on his home
 would be eligible for a loan of $500 from the REC, to pay interest on the mortgage, under the terms of bill now under consideration by the banking and currency commit tee of the house of representative Sponsored by Representative Theodore L. Moritz. of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, the bill would im- pose but two restrictions: First, the money would have to be used to meet overdue or future mortgage interest payments, thus staying off threatened foreclosure; second, the holder of the mortgage would be required to agree that the note of the home owner, taken by the REC as security for the loan, would con- stitute a first lien on the property, thus protecting the government.
 No indorsers would be required, and no credit Investigations would be made. beyond ascertaining that the loan applicant was actually owner of the mortgaged property, under the trms of Mortiz's bill. In- terest on the special REC loans would be only two per cent per year.
