munity of Southwestern Oklahoma,
drowned two persons and searchers
believed five missing also had per-
ished.
Twisters and floods in widely sepa-
rated sections of North and Central
Texas killed seven.
The surge of the torrents washed
out bridges, twisted railway tracks,
covered highways and flooded farm
homes. Other homes were leveled by
the whip Of the winds.
Storms in Dust Area.
Heavy rainfall which loosed the
floods followed drought breaking pre-
cipitation of more moderate proper
tions in the relatively small dust belt
far to the Northwest, the source Of
silt storms which killed live stock, con-
tributed to fatal human ailments and
veiled the sun at times this Spring.

Turkey Greek flood; Hattie Elizabeth

Daniels, 8, Dallas, Tex, drowned in
wading; Charles Ingram, section
worker, swept from railroad bridge
and drowned in Brazos River.
In the flood regions many persons
were rescued by boatmen from perches
high in trees or on house tops.
The rampaging North Canadian
River swept away the water mains of
Woodward, Okla, and left the city
with only l2-hour supply Of drink
ing water.
Dams Believed Holding.
Water ran high over several of Ok
lahoma's largest dams, but engineers
expressed belief they would hold.
Bill Williams and c. C. Brake were
on their farm near Elmer, Okla, when
they heard high water coming.

them the flood was upon us. We pulled
off our clothing and managed to swim
to higher ground. At least a dozen
houses in the lowlands were destroyed" J."

BY the Associated Press.

been carrying passengers throughout

over.
Army Flyers Aid.
A flight of 81 Army planes had

Knowles was buried beneath the
wreckage, and was dead when work
ers reached him. The plane broke
in two pieces as it struck, spilling the
passengers out onto the ground. Mrs.
Rushlow died soon after she was
brought to the hospital and the boy
died an hour later.

knew the soldiers were quartered. He
landed the plane in the only clear
space in the area.

night in another plane to Join her
husband and was unaware of the

BILLION AWAITS
WAGE SOLUTION

Work Projects Difficult
in Face of Dispute.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With more than a billion dollars In
projects stacked oefJre him, Presi-
dent Roosevelt yesterday sought So
luton to a thorny problem blocking
actual, cash outlays from the $4,000
100000 fund-labor's wages.
Until it is determined just how big
to make the monthly pay envelopes
going to unemployed getting jobs, re-
lief officials said Mr.. Roosevelt's ap-
proval of the 81 ,091 .802 900 in projects
recommended by his Allotment Board
will mean little.
They added that none of the jobless
expected to shift from direct to work
relief can receive wages until the pay
level is set.
Opposition of Labor.
This was the problem Mr.. Roosevelt
took with him on wek end cruise.
forewarned of organized labor's bitter
opposition to reports Of tentative
work-relief wage scale 80 per cent
below prevailing construction levels.
Federation leaders said yesterday
they would go directly to the White
House on the issue and one spokes-
man added that if work-relief pay
drops below prevailing rates. "well
raise hell"
Another important obstacle to full
operation of the work plan was lack
of complete figures on the number OF
persons now on relief. Harry L. Hop
kins was assembling these for use in
approving or rejecting projects.
Hopkins was concentrating on ap-
pointment of State work progress di-
rectors with the intention of calling
them to Washington for detailed in
structions when the list for 48 States
is completed.
Machinery Soon Ready.
Meanwhile, the machinery for re-
ceiving and sitting the food of prof.
ects arriving here was near compile
ton. Although complicated routine
had been put on paper, officials in the
60-odd Government agencies involved
conceded many details for actual
operation were lacking.
They said most Of the first billion
in projects approved by the Advisory
Committee actually were old plans
which Government departments had
approved months, and even years, ago.
The only exceptions were the $780,
100000 Wisconsin plan, the $100, ,000,-
600 to Rexford G. Tugwell for his
Resettlement Administration and the
81, 500, 900 for New York City sewer

"Not Too Late" to Press for
Clause in Omnibus
Bill, He Says.
THOMAS is PREPARED
TO PUSH AMENDMENT
Statements by President and Nor
genthau Held Threat to Speed
Present Measure.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A direct challenge to press officially
the Government-owned Central Bank
proposal advocated by Secretary Nor
genthau was hurled at the admins
tration yesterday by Senator Glass,
Democrat, of Virginia.
He said it was mot too late" for
MIR. Roosevelt to seek inclusion in the
omnibus banking bill before his Sen
ate subcommittee of the idea OF Fed
eral ownership of the Reserve System
which the President said Friday would
solve a great many problems. This
was after Morgenthau openly indorsed
the plan before Glass subcommittee.
But some Senate foes Of the bill to
strengthen the Reserve Boards powers
over money and credit regarded the
Roosevelt and Morgenthau statements
more as a threat that unless the ON
nibus bank bill received approval, the
more drastic legislative step would be
asked.
Coughlin Asked to Appear
One Senator, who refused to be
quoted, even contended the admins
tration wanted the pending bill to
avert the Government banking own
ership advocated by Father Charles
E. Coughlin and Senator Thomas,
Democrat, Oklahoma
Father Coughlin has been invited
to appear before the Glass subcom-
mittee now considering the House.
approved bank bill
While Thomas was heartened by
the Presidents statement and said he
would press his bill for that purpose
as an amendment to the banking leg
islation, all sides agreed the measure
would be minus such a provision on
final passage.
Glass Challenges.
Glass used these words in discuss
ing the central bank idea:
IF the President and the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury and the gov
ernor of the Federal Reserve Board
want a Government-owned central
bank, Notwithstanding the consistent
opposition of the Democratic party
since the time Of Mr.. Jefferson up
to the present to such a thing, I'm
puzzled to know why they did not
incorporate such provision in the
pending banking bills. 1t Is not
too late.
"The President usually gets what
he wants, and If he wants such a
central bank, the subcommittee now
considering legislation will give it
suitable attention.
Fletcher Is Opposed.
Chairman Fletcher of the full
Banking Committee agreed Govern
ment ownership might solve many
questions, but he said this was mot
necessary yet" adding:
Il don't want to complicate this
bill. We ought to pass it without
complicating it with something else"
Thomas said he was glad the
administration has come to the
ownership viewpoint"
IF we had a bond crash" he said,
"the Government would have to go
to the banks on bended knees,
whereas if the Government owned
the Reserve banks, it could control
the situation"
While Senators were debating the
central bank issue, there came to
light a private statement issued by
the Federal Advisory Council, COM
posed of representatives of the IL
Reserve banks, opposing the bank bill
and suggesting amendments which
would retain most of the existing
autonomy of the Reserve banks with
q proportionate lessening of powers
for the Federal Reserve Board.
