Macßeynolds' opinion presented in a rebounding voice to the jammed chamber of the supreme court, was vigorous in its condemnation of the majority opinion In the steel and-clothing cases. "Considering the far reaching importance of these deckiions, the departure from what we understand has been consistently ruled here and the extraordinary power concerned to a board of three, the obli gation to present our views becomes plain." said Macßeynolds. Speaking for his colleagues, he contended the dec'eion departed from "well established principles” fol'owetl in the NRA and Guffey coal caees. ■ t contended that many lower courts had held the labor act unconstitutional on the authority of the earlier new deal decision and said "the lower court rightly deemed them control'inf.” As had happened on previous occasions Macßeynolds appeared to deviate from his prepared dtesent. "The idea has been advanced", he said, "that this is legislation intended to prevent strikes and thereby present impending commerce.” o Dog It Hitch Hiker Butte.

The diamond veteran fell head first when the wooden railing of the hack porch collapsed as he leaned over to catch an object tossed from the ground. The left side of his face struck a stone, opening a cut that ran the length of his cheek. Dr. Castle said there was a probable brain injury, possible internal abdominal injuries and a fracture of the left arm. A fire rescue squad rushed Speaker to a hospital where a two-| hour operation was necessary, the physician said, to "reconstruct the left side, of his mouth." Speaker brought a world championship to Cleveland iu l“0. Earlier he had played with the Boston Red Sox and later with Washing ton and the Philadelphia Athletics.

FLOOD CONTROL PROGRAM PLANS Ten ■ Year Construction Program Outlined By Committee Washington. Apr 12 (U.R> The national resources committee today Intensified Its planning for future 1 flood conlrol and water conservation with recommendations for a 10-yeur $4,161,4)00.000 construction program In 118 drainage basins throughout the country. A massive report, prepared by ■ the committee's water resources ' committee, recommended an integrated plan of construction and investigation to he carried out paitly by the federal government, partly by local and state governments. over a periml.of years. The remmunendations are an exi pansion of those contained in a report on public works planning covering 17 great drainage dis tricls sent to congress by President Roosevelt on Feb. 3. j The proposed program is divided into three classifications iniinedi iate construction or investigation, 'deferred construction, and "inde-1 terminate" construction The esti-1 I mated cost for projects in the first i group is $1.727,1HH1,U1H1. in the sec-1 ond $1,034,000,000, and in the third' $1,400,000,000. Eleven major types of water use and control problems which the water resources committee serks |to meet with recommended projects are: Bank and coastal erosion con-1 trol, domestic aud industrial water | supplies, drainage, flood control. ( electric power generation, irrigation. navigation, recreation, soil , conservation and forest development. waste disposal and pollution abatement and wildlife consr-rva-j I ion. "The project lists embodied in the report provide a reservoir ot meritorious undertakings intended to cover a period of ten or more years, but the program is readily adjustable to the requirements on any policy that may be adopted xxxx." wrote Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes, chairman of the national resources committee, in transmitting the recommendations to President Roosevelt. Ickes pointed out that the program is not fixed or final but is adjustable to needs, policy and finances. Tbe report iepresents, he said, "the first coordinated attempt to formulate a nation-wide water plan and program through the joint efforts of federal, state and local agencies, official and unofficial ” The program is designed to control streams along their entire courses. The non-local character of such control, it was pointed out. has l»een emphasized by disastrous floods of the last two years, originating in headwaters where a local construction program Is unnecessary except for protection of the valleys below The committee said that the listings of projects does not indicate that federal funds should be used for construction, but only ! that the projects are considered Important parts of the program for a drainage basis.
