news agency was informed today
that Jimmie Mattern, American
round-the-world tiler, took off
from Beloye, Siberia, at 1:50
a. m. Moscow time today - (5:50
p. m. Friday, eastern standard
time) for Kharbarovsk Siberia: -

Mattern planned to start his
trans-Pacific flight from Khabar

Making a quick recovery from a
mishap in the air which almost
cost him his life and forced him
down in a sparsely settled section
of Siberia, Jimmie Mattern, Amer
ican round-the-world-flier, sped
on his way across Russia today
and rested tonight in the little,
town of Beloye preparatory to re
suming his voyage tomorrow.
Halting only onco on the way
to Beloye from Belovo, where
overpowering fumes from a leak
ing gas line caused him to 'make
a forced landing Wednesday, the
airman made Krasnoyarsk in
fairly good time. He remained
there only long enough to take on
fuel and to make superficial re
pairs. No details came out of Siberia,
either about the landing in Kras
noyarsk or in Beloye, but appar
ently the aviator was well recov
ered from the nauseous effect of
the gas fumes and his plane was
in good flying order. An indica
tion that he was trying to make
up for lost time, despite the fact
that he hardly has ehanee bow

old Gatty, was seen in the fact
that he stayed in Krasnoyarsk
only four hours and 25 minutes.
(Beloye is approximately the
half way mark of the 15,500 mile
journey around the globe. Mat
tern's aim when he set out from
New York last Saturday was to
beat the record of 8 days, 15
hours, 51 minutes set by Wiley

he would have to be back in New

there was a distinct possibility
that this would be disposed of

Score of Fatalities Noted
Friday; Rain Awaited
Throughout East
NEW YORK, June 9. (AP)
Skies were scanned anxiously for
the clouds that would bring rain
and relief as the east continued
to swelter tonight in the season's
first major heat wave.
More than a score of deaths
were reported today, bringing the
total number of lives lost so far
this week, as a direct or indirect
consequence of the oppressive
temperatures, to more than 100.
The heat blanket extended from
the Atlantic coast inland to the
Mississippi river. Illinois had re
ported a total of 22 deaths, of
which 18 were in Chicago. Penn
sylvania had a death toll of 14,
with six in Philadelphia, where
the mercury reached an official
high of 89 today.
Three deaths were attributed to
the heat in New York city, where
the coming of darkness brought
little relief because the skyscrap
ers retained the high tempera
tures of the day.
Upstate, four deaths were re
corded In Buffalo and two in
Rochester. One man died in Cam
den, N. J., another in Bridgeport,
Conn., and a third in Baltimore.
The other fatalities occurred
earlier in the week.
Scores have been overcome

PORTLAND, Ore., June 9.
(AP) Swollen by heavy rains,
the waters of the Columbia river
and its tributaries flooded thou
sands of lowland acres today,
halted mill and construction ac
tivities at several points, washed
out several bridges and narrowly
missed causing a loss of life.
The upper end of Puget island
in the Columbia, midway between
Cathlamet, Wash., and Westport,
Ore., was Inundated by a four
foot wall of water when a 50
foot section of the protecting
dike crumbled under the com
bined impact of the rising waters
and a high tide. The break came
suddenly after all but one of sev
eral farmers patroling the dike
had retired for the lght, think
ing the danger past.
While there was no loss of life
and but slight damage to crops
on the island, as the waters
drained quickly off, residents
were in fear of a new flood with
a high tide due early tomorrow.
They were working feverishly to
repair the damaged dike, lest a
second invasion ot the river sweep
the Island generally and destroy
most of the crops.

Vote 57 to 24 on Passage;
Industry Regulation one
Key Section
By D. HAROLD OLIVER
WASHINGTON, Julie 9. ( AP)
Forming an impenetrable cor
don around the major provisions
of the industrial bill, the demo
cratic majority brought the ad
ministration's business recovery
measure through the senate to
night in virtually the same form
as it had come to the floor.
Driving back amendment after
amendment, the administration
forces marched straight ahead to
the final rote which sent the bill
back to the house for agreement
to amendments. The bill is the
last major measure of the presi
dent's special session program.
The whirlwind finish at the
end oi more than a twelve-hour
session give a final vote for the
bill of 57 ayes to 24 against, vir
tually the same count by which
the senate only an hour before
had rejected the sales tax as a
method of raising the necessary1
funds to finance the $3,300,000.
000 public works section.
Another key section of the bill
provides for the regulation of in
dustry through trade agreements
to be worked out by the majority
of the plants In an industry, with
various committees of labor and
industry and the government to
pass upon varying phases of th
code.
These woind cover working
hours, prices and output, with the
president to have the authority
to license those branches of ta
industry that fall to conform to
the agreements worked eut by
the jiajority.
The greatest changes In' the
long day and night session came
as the senate bore down into the
taxing section. In rapid succes
sion it voted for throwing income
tax returns open to public Inspec
tion and then lifted the exemp
tion that thus far has held tax
free the incon e from securities
of the federal, state and muni
cipal governments.
As the measure went back to
the house, one of the principal
differences in the form in which
it came from that branch lay in
the taxation provisions. The house
had voted to raise the rates on
Income, in addition to lifting the
present levies on gasoline.
Voicing the belief that indus
try should bear a greater part
of the burden for financing the
activities of the measure. Chair
man Harrison of the senate fi
nance committee obtained agree
ment to a plan for putting addi
