CODES VIOLATED.
TEXTILE CHIEF SAYS
Six of Worst Offenders Obtained
Loans From R. F. c.,
House Told.

BY the Associated Press
An assertion that six "of the worst
offenders against the N. R. A OBJ
tanned loans from the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. was made before a
House subcommittee yesterday by
John Peel, Southern vice president of
the United Textile Workers.
Peel, testifying in support of the
Ellenbogen textile control bill, denied
statements of employers that code
standards were being maintained in
the textile industry in the South, and
read into the record list of SO COM
panies which he said had violated N.
r. A. codes and which had departed
from N. r. A. standards since the
Blue Eagles passing.
The day was devoted largely to de-
nunciation of labor conditions in the
South. Spokesman for two New Eng
land Governors told the committee un-
equal labor .costs were destroying the
textile industry in the North.
Peel said the r. F. c. loans were
made to Southern textile companies
while strikes were in progress in their
mills. He said the Mooresville Cot
ton Mills of Mooresville, N c., OBJ
tanned a loan of $8O0,00O; the Ches-
ney Mill of Chesney, S. c., $275. .000;
the Carter Mills of Lincolnton, N. c.,
$4,000; the Oconoy Mill of West
minister, S. c., $4,000; the Globe Cot
ton Mills of Augusta, Ga, $48, ,750, and
the Cherokee Spinning Co. of Chero-
kee, Tenn, 100000.
Peel said hours had been length
ened, work loads increased and wages
reduced throughout the South.

ARMY AIR CRASH
PROBED BY BOARD
Sharp Current Thought
Cause of Boiling Field
Accident.

An Army board composed of three
Air Corps officers and medical Of
fcer today was investigating the crash
of an Army observation plane in
which two Army flyers from Pope
Field, Fort Bragg. N. c., were killed
yesterday at Boiling Field.

ing in a choppy cross wind, was
caught by sharp current as he
dropped down the wooded slope of
the ST. Elizabeth's Hospital hill in
his landing glide. He clipped the
peak of the hangar roof with his
wing or landing gear as he fought
to regain control, it was believed
Two Army officers from Michel Field,
N. Y, flying an observation plane,
were killed in a similar accident at
almost the same spot, about three
months ago.
The investigating board is composed
of Maj. Ernest S. Harrison. Medical
Corps; Maj. Aubrey Hornsby, ranking
Air Corps officer at Boiling Field. and
Capt Samuel C. Eaton, jr., and Capt.
Jack c. Hodgson, Air Corps, both on
duty at the field.
Whitten Native Texan.
Lieut. Whitten, born at Wharton,
Tex, in 1905, was graduated from the

year as flying cadet, he was COM
