Corp" Mr.. Patterson said. I'VE did
so under the constitutional powers of
the President as Commander in
Chief of the Army and Navy, which
seem to include responsibility for
equipping the Army. But we would
prefer express statutory authority"
In response to questions, Mr.. Pat
terson told the committee the War
Department still favored enactment
of the property requisition bill, which
would authorize the seizure of any
property deemed essential by the
President for defense. but asserted
he did not want that measure to
delay the Connally or Vinson
proposals.
Overwhelming Senate approval
was predicted for the legislation Of
fered by Senator Connally as an
amendment to a pending measure
authorizing the President to grant
blanket deferment to all Selective
Service registrants over % years
of age.

Acting Majority Leader Byrnes
said he anticipated scant opposition
either to the Connally amendment
or the Selective Service proposal.

Senate commentator for the Presi-

on the subject. The House, mean
while, dispatched to the Senate two
further measures aimed at curtailing
defense production stoppages.
Cheering Representatives gave them
350-to-1 vote of final approval
yesterday as part of the huge s10,-

funds for new thousands of war

other sinews of defense.
The House measures would:

.Work-or-Fight'0rder
Puts SeIectees on
World War Basis
Command by Gen. Hershey
Gives U. S. Strong Weapon
For Use on Strikers

BY the Associated Press.
Selective service today went on a
footing akin to the work or fight"
basis of World War days.
Throughout the country, local
draft boards started reclassifying all
men who were deferred because Of
employment in essential defense in
dustries but who have ceased to
perform the jobs"
The reclaSsification order, issued
by selective service headquarters
late yesterday, was generally re-
garded as furnishing the Govern
ment a formidable weapon for deal
ing with strikes where the recon-
mendations of the National Defense
Mediation Board are spurned, or
with walkouts considered illegiti-
mate by union and administration
officials.
Roosevelt Approves Order.
The unexpected order was dis
patched to $500 local boards by
Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, with
President Roosevelt's approval. The
belief was expressed here that re-
classification of the work or serve"
basis could greatly reduce the ranks
of the North American Aviation
strikers at Inglewood, Calf, the idle
San Francisco shipyard workers and
the striking Puget Sound lumber
men, to mention some major pend
ing disputes.
In all three cases, it was said,
most of the strikers were young men
within selective service age limits
and likely military material.
Gen. Hershey's order made no
mention of striking workers. as such,
but the language was plain.
Our citizen soldiers" the order
said, have merged their individual
desires in the common objective
The citizens who have been de-
ferred because they are necessary in
the production of defense supplies
and equipment may not refuse to do
likewise.
Principle Is Explained.
The basic principle upon which
selective service operates is to keep
the man on the job where he can
render the greatest service to his
Government. The citizen who has
been deferred because of the job he
is performing in the national de-
fense program cannot expect to re-
tain the status of deferment when
he ceases to work on the job for
which he was deferred
The status of deferment and the
responsibility to perform the neces-
sary work are inseparable.'
The action paralleled President
Wilson'S famous work or fight"
order of 1918. He wrote strikers at
Bridgeport, Conn, who had refused
to abide by an arbitration award
and return to work that draft
boards would be instructed to re-
ject any claims of exemption based
on your alleged usefulness to war
production"
Gen Hershey's move apparently
represented a reversal, however, of
his attitude in January when a
California draft board threatened
workers of the Ryan Aeronautical
Co. of San Diego that they might
be drafted if they struck. Gen.
Hershey said then that any change
in a registrants classification be-
cause of a strike would be con-
trary to the intent of the law" and
added that the selective service
system is not in a position to use
induction as threat to force man
to do something or TO restrain him
from course of action"

Nine Texans Drowned
When Dam Gives Way
Flooding 80 Homes
Disaster Brings Toll
From Storms to 2o in
Lost Three Days
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Nine persons drowned and a res
cue worker reported many others"
missing early today in an Albany,
Tex, flash flood, bringing to 29 the
storm death toll in Midwestern and
Southwestern States the last three
days.
Thirty or 40 houses were re-
ported inundated at the northwest
Texas town of 5000 population
when a dam at the city water supply
lake gave way after q 10-inch, A
hour rain.
The Texas disaster came while
rising waters and creeks threatened
further woe to Kansas and Mis-
souri,.
Crests Already Reached.
Hopeful notes were injected, how
ever, by a forecast that rains would
cease in Missouri and Kansas after
today and by word from Nebraska
that most flooding streams in that
State either had reached or passed
their creSts.
The Missouri River neared flood
stage at Nebraska City and Kansas
City and there were some fears the
Kaw might not be able to carry
the full load from its rampag-
ing tributaries. The KaW flows into
the Missouri at Kansas City.
Thousands of acres of rich farm
land were inundated, livestock was
drowned, business houses and resi-
dences were flooded in several
towns. Highway travel was dis
rupted by bridge waShoutS and high
water in parts of Kansas, Okla
homa, Missouri, Iowa and Ne
braska. Railroad washouts were
reported in Missouri and Kansas.
Tornadoes Kill IL.
Tornadoes yesterday and Sunday
night accounted for II dead-eight
near Wichita, Kans., and four in
the Texas panhandle. Two women
drowned in Southwest Iowa and two
men near Marysville, Kans. Light
ming killed two in Western Missouri.
A gust of wind toppled two car
penters to their deaths from light
tower at bombing assembly plant
under construction at Tulsa, Okla.
Hardest hit town was Marysville.
officials estimated a fourth of its
population was homeless.

40 Consumer Items
MAY Be Placed Under
Control
Gloves and Wool Socks,
Mattresses and Cumeros
Put on Critical List
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Government put consumers
tentatively on notice today that they
may have to step aside until de-
fense needs are met on long list
mattresses and cameras to woolen
underwear and fire extinguishers.
The list included wool, cotton,
flannel and other types Of cloth,
wool and leather gloves, motion pic
ture projection and sound equip
ment, medicinal chemicals, woolen
and cotton wool socks. hospital uni
forms and business Office equipment
such as addressing and duplicating
machines.
These and other items were added
yesterday TO the list of critical
items" issued monthly by the Priori-
ties Division of the Office of Pro-
duction Management. In all, there
were pproximately 40 items, raising
the total number now classified as
critical" to approximately 300.
Consumption Near Capacity.
More than any other single Gov
ernment document. perhaps this
latest list brings home to the private
citizen how widely the requirement
of an all-out total defense" pro-
gram may effect the routine of his
daily living.
In effect, the list is a warning to
those who manufacture, sell or use
these items that consumption now
is near the Nations capacity to pro-
duce them.
In some cases the Army or Navy
may be contemplating further large
purchases and mandatory priorities
may have to be imposed, o. P. M.
officials said. Priorities mean that
the supply of the products so con-
trolled are rationed and less than
the usual stock is available for
public sale.

introduced by Schultz

The House District Committee
had before it for consideration today
new bill giving the Commissioners
authority to create an accident pre-
vention board whose duties would
be to provide greater protection for
local industrial workers.

substitute for his original bill, now
pending before the committee. His
latest measure is intended to correct
deficiencies" in the original bill and
give the proposed accident preven-
ton board authority to promulgate
additional regulations to protect in
dustrial workers. The original bill
did not give the board that author
lty, merely inStructing it to enforce

committee that 78 industrial workers
were killed in 1910 and that 81 900
