A.U that was left today of the stockyards amphitheatre was the tangled mass of fire-twisted wreckageshown above.

One board member joined !Harrow in recommending so-cialization and planned in-dustry. Others signed with |him a withering report*against NRA as a source ofindustrial monopoly. Onemember scoffed at his col-league's findings.

The 77-year-old Darrow chal-lenged the NRA theory as fallacious |and incapable of ending savage, jwolfish and relentless competition, j

General Hugh S. Johnson. NRAadministrator, smashed back at Mr.Darrow in spectacular language. Heand Donald R. Richberg. NRA gen-eral counsel, called the Darrow re-port “nonsensical,” "intemperate,and in some instance “false."

Whatever its effect, the Darrowreport hangs all the dirty linen onthe line. The country is headed to-ward bitter, prolonged dispute withboth sides armed with facts, figuresand opinion. General Johnson saysMr. Darrow seeks to offer the coun-try a choice between Fascism andCommunism, neither of which hasa place here.

Abolish Board. Says Johnson

General Johnson recommendedthat the national recovery reviewboard be abolished forthwith.

Looting Begins.By United Press

CHICAGO, May 21.—Thousandsof, workmen, having removed onebody from the smouldering debris ofChicago's $10,000,000 stockyards fire,pursued their grim search today inthe belief that others may have beentrapped in the raging flames.

The task was most difficult due tothe necessity of searching throughthe burned carcasses of hundreds ofhead of livestock. It was practicallyimpossible in some instances to de-termine the character of charred re-mains. This uncertainty causedworkers to identify three objects lo-cated early Sunday as human re-mains.

Positive identification of one body,however, was made only todaywhen it was determined that IkeMeans, 62, a watchman, had lost hislife in the cattle pens.

Mob Loots StorehousesLooting started when 5.000 men.

thrown out of jobs by the paralyzingblaze, stormed into partially ruinedstore buildings on the east side ofHalsted street, adjoining the stock-yards.

Meanwhile rehabilitation workwas speeded and the stricken areatook on an appearance of a warridden Belgian village as commis-sion men threw up flimsy littleshacks amid the ruins and hung outsigns, “business as usual.”

The gigantic task of hanl'.ing43.000 head of cattle, hogs and sheepwent ahead with the same spiritthat started Chicago's regrowthfrom barren desolation after the"big fire” sixty-three years ago.

Temporary cattle pens were hur-riedly constructed—workmen wereon the scene before daybreak—anda frame structure started to replacethe nine-story exchange building,razed by the flames.

Mr. Means’ body, discovered bytwo boys crawling over the ruins,was found in the midst of burnedcattle pens and identification final-ly was established by keys, a work-man's badge and other metal ob-jects.

Officials of the stockyards be-lieved he had been overcome bysmoke while attempting to rescuecattle trapped in their pens.
