By DONALD CAMERON WASHINGTON. April "the whole textile industry Is facing bankruptcy." Henry Kendall, Massachusetts textile operator, told Senate NRA investigators today he had asked President Roosevelt, in a special memorandum, to lift the cotton processing tax from cotton mills. In return for such action Kendall said It would be fair to ask the Industry for a 10 per cent wage increase. Kendall was testifying before the Senate finance committee as chairman of the commerce department's business advisory and planning council.

He urged, on behalf of the council, an extension of a modified NRA. Simultaneously, a petition calling upon the president'to remove the processing tax was signed by 46 House members in the first two hours of its circulation. Kendall turned to the textile situation unexpectedly when questioned by committee members. Reads Memorandum He read a memorandum he had submitted to President Roosevelt In which he told the president the processing tax was causing so much buyer resistance that the industry had reached the realm of diminishing returns. He urged that the processing tax of $125,000.000 a year be raised from some other source and removed from the cotton mills.

In return, he told the president. It would be fair to ask the industry to Increase wages 10 per cent. Elimination of the processing tax. Kendall said, would cut the most of cotton goods 10 per cent, while a 10 per cent Increase In wages would onlr raise the prices 3 1-3 per cent. The net result of the two moves, he said, would be to reduce cotton goods prices 6 2-3 per cent and would put 50.000 workers back on the job.

Kendall, testifying in a calm voice, told the committee, "the whole textile industry Is facing bankruptcy." Southwest's No. 1 Enemy Sentenced to Pay Life on May 10th Threaten Come Back as Ghost.
