PAGE NINE PLANES, MEDICAL SUPPLIES RUSHED TO SAN SALVADOR Report 3,000 Persons Dead After Fierce Hurricane Sweeps Republic By JOVEL MENDEZ Associated Press Foreign Staff SAN SALVADOR, En Salvador, June 15- (P) The stricken republic of El Salvador, with 3,000 persons reported dead in the provinces, looked toward the south today for assistance by the United States army. Eleven army airplanes were reported coming from the Panama Canal Zone, bringing medical supplies and emergency provisions. Despite the terrific hurricane and rain storm of last week it appears certain that no United States citizens lost their lives. Damage was especially great and the deaths most considerable in San Vicente, Zacatecoluca, Sonsonate and Ahuachapan.

In the city of San Salvador, considerable damage was done by swollen streams after the hurricane had knocked down the walls of many buildings. In San Salvador few lives were lost because the people had time to evacuate dangerous zones. In rural areas, villages were razed and much livestock drowned. In Molineros Valley the railroad and trains were submerged by floods. The greater part of the nation's bridges were swept away.

The only notable exception that survived was the iron bridge 2,500 feet long over the Lempa river, constructed by the International Railways, States of Central enterprise. America, a Many of the bridges swept away had been built when El Salvador was still a colony of Spain. Great damage to bridges was reported especially from the zone around the volcano of San Miguel, in southern El Salvador. One hundred thousand head of cattle were reported lost on one great estate near the Pacific Coast. Charles Gardiner, goal tender for the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey league, died Wednesday in a Winnipeg, hospital to which he was taken a few hours earlier.

He had lapsed into a stupor last Sunday. His death was caused by tumor of the brain. n. Gardiner was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1904. He Is survived by his widow and his five year: old son.

Dies The Lempa river was reported to Have carried away the bodies of a great number of drowned persons and many buildings. The President has dictated drastic measures to remedy the country's critical condition. Many hundreds of have been employed mend to repair highways and work on other public projects. Sonsonate, where the Rio Grande flows, suffered considerable losses, the plant of the electric company being carried away by floods. The port of La Libertad suffered greatly from the storms.

The port of Acajulia suffered more. The electric light company in San Salvador is giving service with a Diesel motor, but last night the city was dark. Soybeans were made into "coffee" in Civil War days. Soldiers have found that the new drink tasted "so-so" but failed to keep them awake. SPECIAL!

INCORPORATED Phone 56 10th Monroe Another "Blank Check" By DAVID. LAWRENCE Copyright, 1 1934, by The SunDemocrat WASHINGTON, June 15 Another "blank check" the administration is famous been Which, handed to Congress to sign. But it is a blank check for labor and.

capital, too. After weeks of skirmishing behind the scene, a labor disputes bill has been drafted for an elev-. enth-hour rush through Congress on the eve of adjournment. fact that employers fought the first Wagner bill because it would put them, as they claimed, in a straightjacket, and the fact is opposed to the second Wagner bill because it does not go far enough in outlawing "company unions" left President Roosevelt with the task of framing a bill that would be so general in terms a as to leave the whole question of what it meant entirely to faith in the labor board which it is recommended shall be set up under the proposed legislation. Employer interests are against the compromise bill not of what it contains but because of what it authorizes a board Labor will not oppose the billing because it believes the board to be appointed will probably be of such a character as to rule favorably on questions vital to union labor.

A filibuster and determined opposition to the measure, with consequent delay to adjournmentsomething the President wishes to avoid--is in prospect unless amendments are accepted by the administration which will make explicit the powers to be granted. As the first draft of the new bill is written, it empowers the new labor board to control as well as supervise elections all industries and plants. This means that the federal government not only will Insure a fair election in the sense that it will see to it that voting is secret and free from coercion, but it will decide what the basis of representation shall be. It is the latter feature which is causing objection. It is just as if the federal government were to say to the state of Illinois that the primary elections will not only be supervised by federal watchers at the polls but the federal government will also say what kind of primary law each state shall have and what the qualifications of voters shall Extreme Gov't Power There is no power in government with respect to elections which is as far-reaching as the power which the proposed labor board would have over industrial elections.

Here is the the the the all paragraph in the bill around which the whole controversy and debate centers: "The board sO established is hereby empowered, when it shall appear in the public interest, to order and conduct an election by a secret ballot of any of the employees of the employer to determine by what person or persons or organization they desire to be represented in order to insure the right of employees to organize and seleet their representatives for the purpose of collective bargaining as defined in Section 7-A of the Na- tional Industrial Recovery Act." The foregoing means that at any time an election can held and furthermore that all soften of rues and regulations can be introduced to carry out the meaning of it. Thus the bill says: "Any such board, with the approval of the President, may prescribe such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this act." Industry and cannot know in advance what "rules and regulations" will be prescribed and anybody who violates the rules can be sent to jail. So in accepting the legislation of the employers of the country are in effect. signing a blank check empowering the federal government to make all rules and regulations for the settlement of all labor disputes in the future. If both sides had confidence in the fairness and impartiality of the new commissioners or board members, there would be little worry.

But the steel workers rejected General Johnson's proposed board because they doubted that anybody could be appointed who would be disinterested and yet familiar with the problems at hand. All kinds of amendments are bedrafted at this writing and within the next 24 hours efforts to compromise will be continued. If the bill were to be specifically limited to supervision of elections in which the employers and employees themselves determine who shall vote and how often elections shall be held, and if the federal government were to see to 1 it that a fair election is held upon rules which the industries and their employees agree upon, there might be a chance for agreement.

Vermont is the only state vating against the Roosevelt policies SO far, but the poll vote shows an increased sentiment now for the President over the 1932 election ratios he received there. Twenty-nine states give the President a this higher percentage of poll than they did in the 1932 official election while nineteen states, most of which are in the agricultural, regions, give him a than they did eighteen months ago. An "Analysis of How Voters in This Pollo Voted in 1932 and How They Vote Now" shows that about 4 out of 5 who voted for Roosevelt then support his policies now. while more than 1 out of 3 who voted for Hoover mark their ballots now in support of the New Deal. The heaviest support for the New Deal comes from the southern tier of states which votes an average of over 3 to 1 for the Roosevelt acts and policies.

The industrial centers continue to give the President good majorities. All of New England and New York, New Jersey and Penn- sylvania larger ratios the in this New Deal President" poll than they did for him in 1932. A special balloting conducted among the bankers of the United States upon the same question: "Do You Approve on the Whole the Acts and Policies of Roosevelt's First Year?" shows a majority of "noes." Of the 21,320 post-card ballots received from the bankers of forty-seven states to date, 10,045, or 47.12 per vote for the administration, while. 11,275, or 52.88 per register opposition. About 1 of every 4 bankers who voted for Roosevelt in 1932 now oppose his acts and policies, while 18.26 per cent.

of the bankers who voted for Hoover favor the New Deal, as shown by the poll tabulations. The southern bankers give a substantial vote for the New Deal, averaging about the same majorities as the popular vote of the poll in the various states.
