Backing demands for enactment
Of the Ellenbogen textile regula-
tory bill, q strong House bloc to-
day planned to take an appeal dt-
rect to the White House for presi-
Dental approval Of the measure.
At the same time, Representa-
tive Connery CD Of Massachu-
sets, chairman Of the House La
Dor Committee, said he would ask
for e rule to bring the measure up
for House action next week.
Rule BY Board
The bill creates q national
board to regulate fair practiseS in
the textile industry, sets 35-hour
work week with provision for
longer hours on an overtime scale,
and provides for regulation Of
prices and production should pro-
duction succeed demand and de-
press prices below a fair return.
Representative Robert Rams
peck Cd of Georgia attacked the
measure, while its author, Repre-
sentative Henry Ellenbogen CD
Of Pennsylvania defended it.

consideration Of the measure "un-
less the Supreme Court should
reverse itself in its forthcoming
decision on the Guffey coal act"
He said:

NRA LETTERS
TO JOHNSON
MUTILATED
BY ERIC FRIEDMAN
Copyright. 1885. by International
News Seryicel

An attempt to destroy conf
Dental documents placed into the
Governments files by Hugh S.
johnson during his reign as NRA
administrator, was disclosed today
at the Commerce Department
which houses the scattered
remnants of the ill-fated recovery
agency.
In addition, it was revealed that
messenger boys and young stenog-
raphers have been pressed into
service to draft intricate and
highly technical histories and sum-
maries of industrial codes which
will be included in a report to
Congress April /.
While declining to give de-
tails regarding destruction Of
the files, officials admitted a
former woman employe Of NRA
had gained access to several cab
inets and mutilated a quantity
of General Johnson's official
papers. Some of the documents,
it was reported, included cores
pondence between johnson and
Donald Richberg, the formers
successor as NRA chieftain.
George L. Brady, attached to
the industry coordinator'S office,
characterized the incident as
'gross stupidity" on the part of
the former employe. Although
destruction of official documents
constitutes a violation of Federal
law, no action has been taken
against the woman. Brady said:
"Our investigation leads me to
believe there was no plot to rifle
NRA files. This woman was
just guilty of gross stupidity.
She went to some of the files to
do little 'hOusecleaning' and
tore up certain documents"
Some of the papers were re
covered, he added, and have been
pieced together.
After the NRA was declared in
valid by the Supreme Court, Con-
gress continued it as a fact-find.
ing agency until the end of this
month.
Thousands of employees have
been dropped and now there are
slightly mere than 200 individu.
ais engaged in the task of COM
pleting the business studies. A
majority of these are errand boys

Thirteen men, women and chill
dren known dead, at least five
missing, and millions of dollars
in property damage was the esti-
mated toll today of floods sweep
ing eight Eastern States and two
provinces of Canada.
In most affected areas the tor
rents reached their peaks early
today and were reported receding
slowly.
Meantime widespread suffering
faced thousands of homeless.
Thousands were out of work as the
result of the forced shutdown Of
operations in factories, businesses
and mines. Traffic was tied up
over hundreds of miles of high
ways and railroads.
Disease Is Feared
Diease-the almost inevitable Sc
quel to every big flood-may add
to the death toll, it was feared.
Pennsylvania appeared to be
the chief danger spot today. The
Susquehanna was two feet over
the flood level and still rising,
Harrisburg, the capital, was expe.
riencing its worst flood scare in
years.

Trading was active during the early

ing on the private reports of rain in
Texas and Oklahoma. This was taken
within a comparatively narrow range
by further pre-bureau and trade
buying.
Houses with foreign connections
also had some buying orders, but, ex-
cept for the hedging and price-fixing,
