rI1lLAbELPf11A fHD. - Ine
Weather Bureau reported today
a storm of hurricane intensity"
may hit the Philadelphia area
some time tonight.
By the Associated Press.
WILMINGTON, N. c., Aug. 31.-A
tropical hurricane menaced North
Carolina's eastern seaboard today
while the mountainous western
reaches of the State still counted
heavy damage from flooded streams.
The Weather Bureau ordered
storm warnings up from Just north
Of Wilmington to the Virginia Capes
and warned that the center of a
severe storm of full hurricane
intensity would be near Cape Hat
teras early tonight.
The $50 am. advisory issued by
the Weather Bureau at Jacksonville,
Fla, placed the storm center about
225 miles southeast of Cape Hat
teras at am. 1t was moving north
northwestward at u to IS miles an
hour and showing some tendency to
turn more to northward.
Northeast Warnings Up.
All persons along the Carolina
Virginia coasts were warned to take
precautions and stand by for fur
ther information. Caution also was
urged for shipping as far north as
Southern New England.
A 10:30 am. advisory from the
Washington Weather Bureau said
northeast storm warnings had been
extended from the Virginia Capes
north to the Delaware Breakwater
and warned that Norfolk, Va,
should be prepared for at least a
gale wind tonight. The advisory
follows:
Northeast storm warnings or
dered 1890 am, Delaware Break
water to the Virginia Capes and
northeast storm warnings continued
Virginia Capes to Cape Hatteras.
"Severe Storm" Bureau Warns.
Increasing northeast winds will
reach gale force late this afternoon
or early tonight near Cape Hatteras
and tonight near Norfolk. East
erly winds will become fresh to
strong tonight and shift to strong
north on Sunday on the New Jer-
sey and Delaware coast Caution
advised all vessels. This is a severe
storm"
1t was only three weeks ago to-
morrow that another tropical storm
struck in the South Carolina
Georgia coast, killing more than 80
persons and wrecking millions Of
dollars worth of property.
Rains accompanying this blow
also brought floods in Western
North Carolina in the same general
region affected by swiftly rising hill
streams yesterday and today. At
least six persons were missing and
hundreds homeless in the flood
zone and, while no damage esti-
mates were available, it seemed
certain loss would be heavy.
Heavy Damage Reported.
Damage to the Enka Corp. plant
near Asheville was estimated by
company officials at almost $500 900.
High water forced the Champion
Paper and Fiber Co. at Canton to
close.
In Marshall, which appeared to
be hardest hit. water from the
French Broad River rose feet in
the business section, carrying away
railroad tracks and sweeping a two
story dwelling down the main street.
Canton reported the downtown
area under 4 feet of water. Off,
cials at Waynesville said at least 600
persons were driven from riverside
and lowland homes.
Rescue workers braved swirling
currents to ferry marooned families
to safety from water logged homes
at Waynesville and Hazlewood.

Draft Debate 10 Focus
On Plant Conscription
And Age Range
Even Critics Expect
Legislation to Pass
In House Next Week
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Various sections of the Burke
Wadsworth military training bill
aroused scattered opposition in the
House today, but all critics appar-
emily agreed that even combina-
ton of their forces would not defeat
the legislation next week.
AS preparations to start debate
Tuesday went on behind the scenes,
informed members predicted the
principal fights would develop over
the provisions:
/. That fixing 81 to "A, inclusive,
as the age range of men who would
register and be subject to conscrip-
ton.
2. That giving the Government
power to take over industrial plants
for defense purposes.
The draft of the bill approved by
the House Military Affairs Com
mittee contains the 21-44 age range,
but several representatives said they
would seek to reduce the spread to
81 to 80, inclusive, the age limits
voted by the Senate when it passed
the bill this week. On the other
hand. Representative Thomason,
Democrat, of Texas, advocated reg
istration of all men 18 to "a, in
elusive, though only those 81 to A
would be subject to the draft.
Plan Counter Proposal.
Some Republicans predicted that
if the Senate plant conscription
amendment were added to the
measure by the House, it would
make many more votes against the
bill on final passage.
Representatives Smith, Democrat,
of Connecticut, and Brooks, Demo-
crat, of Louisiana, planned counter
proposition to authorize the Gov
ernment to take over defense plants
only on rental or lease basis. They
said this would prevent the accumu-
lation of too much industrial ma
chinery in Government hands.
In addition to these two major
issues, Otner questions which flg-
ured considerably in informal dis
cussions of members we're:
Whether the legislation should
provide only for the training" of
men called up, or whether the pro-
vision training and service" should
be permitted to stand.
Whether the Senate limitation of
100000 on the number of land force
trainees in service at any one time
should be increased to 1000, ,0OO-as
recommended by the House COM
mittee-to provide an ALLEGATION for
the Navy as well.
Vesting of Authority.
Whether there should be safe
guards to make certain that proper
authority to handle all conceivable
situations was vested in proposed
local draft boards.
Although administration leaders
and sponsors of the legislation gave
assurances that there would be am
pie opportunity for debate, there
were indications that discussion
