RECOMMENDATION.
CHARGE IS HURLED

WASHINGTON, April 20. (UP).
Representative Eugene E. Cox,
D., Ca, charged today that the
new wage hour bill would impose
dictatorial RECOMMENDATION on in
try as the house rules committee
headed for a crucial vote to de-
termine whether the bill will be
sent to the house floor.
Cox opened presentations for
opponents Of the legislation at
committee hearing which preced-
es the final vote this afternoon
on whether to grant the bill
rule.
Should the committee vote to
hold the measure in committee,
its sponsors were ready to file q
petition, requiring 21s signatures,
to force the bill to the floor over
opposition of the rules group.
Cox, spokesman for bloc of
southern representatives bitterly
fighting the measure, charged its
passage would mean congress has
the "power to do anything that
the political exigencies of men,
bers might dictate"
"This bill is an attempt to reg
ulate al Industry and to destroy
the reserved powers of the states
over the local concerns" Cox said.
1T seems to push federal pow
er to the point Of obliterating the
distinction between commerce
among the several states and the
internal commerce of a state"
GAS long as the government
has advantage and powers to be-
stow, men will submit to the en-
croachment of federal power, but
the idea that they will accept fed
eral control over their daily and
individual lives and their homes
and ambitions, as permanent
thing, is q lotus-eaters' dream"
Representative William P. LAM
bertson, R., Kans., Of the labor
committee, one Of four members
who voted against reporting the
bill, appealed to the rules commit
tee to "stand firm and not grant
a rule" to send the measure to
the floor.

SHANGHAI, June 15. - Both Chinese and Japanese armies are fleeing before the Yellow River flood waters that cannot be stopped by either guns or bombs.

 Authorities said fully 100000 Chi nese civilians are homeless. It is estimated that fully l75,000 Chinese have drowned.
 No estimate is given as to drown ings of Japanese soldiers. although it is believed several thousand have lost their lives, trapped and unable to escape from the flood waters.

NORTON CLAPP
 ARRIVES HERE
 ON CARMELITA
Prominent Tacoma Attor- ney Making Business,
 Fishing Trip

Sailing a course marked on the chart with blue pencil marks iden- tifying good trout fishing 7 party of six arrived in Juneau this morn- ing on the 65-foot yacht Carmelita. owned by Norton Clapp, prominent attorney and financier of Tacoma Wash.
 Included in the party are MT and Mrs. Norton Clapp, Mrs. Clapp's father, Rev. R. M Davis, MT and Mrs. Lorne McKendry and Bob Bar low.
 The Rev. R. M. Davis is of the First Presbyterian Church in Oak land. MT. McKendry is with Car stems Packing Company, and Bob Barlow is a student at the Univer- sity of Washington.
 Clapp, who is Treasurer of the AL aska Transportation Company, oper- ating the Chatham and the Ton gass, is making the trip as a com- bined business and pleasure jaunt.
 Purposes of Trip
 I'm trying to contact business men in Southeast Alaska in the in- terests of the Alaska Transporta- tion Company, and at the same time I'm trying to find some good trout fishing Clapp said.
 Having already tried two suppos- edly "crackerjack" fishing spots at Anan Creek and Castle River on their way north, the Carmelita party is still looking for good fishing When given a tip as to where to get a string of big cutthroats near Juneau, Clapp added blue pencil cross to the maze of those fish markers.
 Going to Glacier Bay
 According to the crosses, the Clapp party will leave Juneau after a day or two here and go to Glacier Bay, thence back down Chatham Straits, through Peril Straits and to Sitka, before proceeding south via the west coast of Prince of Wales Island
 So far, the "cross chasing" has produced little results, but they can't miss if they hit all of them, they believe.
 MT. Clapp, who has been with the Alaska Transportation Company for the past four or five years, since that company was organized by Ket- chikan, Tacoma and Juneau busi- ness men, will be guest of the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce to- morrow noon at it's regular weekly meeting.
