$4,000 Fire Damages
HyaHsviIIe Plant

Damage estimated at between
IS 1000 and $4,000 was done early
today when fire destroyed the Office
and two buildings of the Brunk
Brothers building supply plant on
West Madison avenue in Hyatts-
vile, Md.
H. M. Brunk, who had left the
place only 10 minutes before the
fire was discovered, said it was
thought the blaze started from a
stove IN the basement, where an
employe was heating water. No in
surance was carried on the plant,
he said.
The building supply company
manufacturers of concrete blocks,
had been the center of controversy
in the section for nearly two years,
with residents attempting to force
its removal from the residential "A'
zone in which it was located. Mr.
Brunk was given until last Septem-
Der by the Board of Prince Georges
County Commissioners to move the
place out of the residential section
At recent meeting of the county
board, 1t was announced that the
Brunk brothers had bought tract
near Tuxedo and planned to move
the plant there.
The fire brought out volunteer fire
companies from Hyattsville, River
dale, Berwyn Heights, Mount
Rainier. Cottage City, Brentwood,
Bladensburg and several other towns
in the county. The firemen fought
for more than an hour to prevent
the Brunk home, on the same prop
erty, from being burned.

Rules Of Evidence
Curnegie Gifts Revealed
As Convention Goes
Into Second Day

Receipt Of a $4,000 contribution
from the Carnegie Corp, to be used
by the American Law Institute in

service-the drafting of a model
code of evidence" was announced
today at the Institutes 18th annual

and teachers of law from all sec
tions of the Nation are attending
the four-day session which began
yesterday.
William Draper Lewis OF Phila-
delphia, institute director and for
mer dean of the University of Penn
sylvania Law School, in making the
announcement, said:
THE existing rules of evidence
are often in their application un-
certain; some prevent rather than
promote correct ascertainment of
facts. Their overhauling by body
capable of distinguishing the alb
surd and obstructive from the use
ful and necessary is long overdue" :"
Presidential Letter Read.
President Roosevelt, in letter to
MIR. Lewis extending greetings to
the institute, termed its projected
formulation of such a code "of vital
Importance in the general effort to
improve our legal system" In his
letter. read by Mr.. Lewis, President
Roosevelt continued, in part:
Much remains to be done, how
ever. on both the substantive and
the procedural side of Jurisprudence.
The simpliflcation of Federal GRIM
NAL procedure by means of judicial
Tule-making is still to be attained
The Federal judicial system must
pc supplemented by an adequate
administrative machinery. I hope
to see these two steps taken in the
near future"

July | Adjournment
Talk Revived by
Merger Move
Strenuous Opposition
Expected, However,
In Both Houses
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Speculation over the possibility of
Congress adjourning about July l
has been revived and stimulated at
the Capitol by the Senate move to
make President Roosevelt's two re-
organization orders effective before
the expiration of so days.
Chairman Byrnes of the Senate
Reorganization Committee said to-
day, however, the joint resolution 10
hasten the regrouping of Gov
ernment agencies will not be drawn
up and introduced until plan No. 2
has been ratified by a Senate vote,
which may be taken in the next
day or two.
The ratification will be automatic
if the Senate rejects the pending
concurrent resolution expressing
disapproval of the plan, since re-
fusal of one house to disapprove
insures the carrying out of re-
organization order.
Effective Date Undecided.
Although he indicated Tuesday
he had in mind asking that botn
plans be made effective in 80 days,
Senator Byrnes said today he has
not decided on the exact date ne
will recommend. He will confer
with those in charge of reorganiza-
ton in the House before drafting
tho ioinf rocol,,tion to chorfor tho
60-day period required by the Re-
organization Act.
AS the act stands, plan No. /
will take effect late in June. since
the House approved it week ago.
AS to plan No. q, however, Con-
gress would have to remain here
until July 8 unless the, proposed
joint resolution is put through.
1t was clearly indicated in the
Senate only a week ago, however,
that any effort to bring about early
adjournment will meet with stren-
uous opposition from some men,
bers who want to see various highly
controversial issues settled.
When Senator Bankhead, Demo-
crat, of Alabama proposed on May
2 that Congress adjourn June Is
and leave committees free to study
such questions as neutrality, taxa
ton and social security changes dur
ing the recess, his suggestion re-
vealed that some of his colleagues
believe the House and Senate should
stay on the jeb through the summer,
if necessary, to act on pending prob
lens.
Johnson Would Defer Adjournment.
Senator Connally, Democrat, of
Texas expressed that view, and was
joined by Senator johnson, Repub-
lican, of California. Calling atten-
ton to troubled world conditions and
urging America to avoid involve
ment in war, Senator johnson urged
Congress to remain in Washington.
Nevertheless, the proposal to move
up the reorganization date probably
will direct attention again to the
adjournment issue.
One Senator pointed out today
that as long as it remains necessary
for Congress to stay until July 8
to give effect to reorganization.
there would be added inducement to
committees to continue to report
out many bills that might run the
session beyond that date.
1t was also pointed out today that
if reorganization is made effective
within 80 days, the President could
submit that much sooner the nomi-
nations for the three $4,000 posi-
tions being created to head the new
Federal lending, security and public
works agencies.

NEW YORK, May 11.-Richard

Commerce, plans to resign that post
some time in July, according to
friends here.
Mr.. Patterson, they said, is

to stay there any longer"
ANY plans that Mr.. Patterson
may have to leave the Government
have not been communicated to Sec
retary Hopkins, it was said at the
