PROGRESSIVE BILLS
 KILLED YESTERDAY
 ALASKA LEGISLATURE
(By John E. Pegues)

\oy JOllll
 JUNEAU, May 4,--With adjourn
 ment 24 hours away the general
 appropriations measure is still hanging fire in the Senate and measures giving Governor Troy powers necessary to negotiate with the Federal relief administration for work relief and direct relief funds which were suggested by Delegate Dimond as essential.
 If these funds are to be made available for the Territory they have made no appearance. How ever, last minute efforts are being made to have them prepared and they probably will show up Thurs day
 The fate of the House bill to give Alaska labor and Alaska business men preference on projects fl- nanced by public funds and for supplies for the Territory hangs in the balance in the Senate where the committe had recommended the measure be indefinitely post poned but the report was over turned late yesterday and the bill was carried over until today for final action.
 With the outcome dubious the seven percent margin specified by the House was outspokenly oppos- ed by several Senators who wanted to wipe it out entirely and require the price basis between Alaska and States to be equal.
 The House took the Senate bill creating the Pioneers Home build ing commission and appropriating $225, 5,000 and made two bills out of it; one of these created com mission and authorized it to pre- pare plans and select a site and award the contract for the build ing. The other appropriated the same amount as the Senate bill but specified it was designed as a work relief measure. This was in- tended as the basis for Governor Troy to seek additional work re- lief funds for other public pros poets in the Territory.
 The Senate rejected both meas ures. The House delayed action to confer with Senate leaders in an effort to settle the matter ami cably.
 The Senate, by a vote of 3-5, de- feated the House graduated tax on fish traps thus ending the long battle. Walker, Bragaw and Camp bell voted for its passage. Indica- tions now are that there will be, no increase in fish taxes.
 The Senate also defeated the Hellerich- Holman measure to es- tablish mining department under the Alaska College.
 Unless differences, now unfor- seen, develop over the big appro- priations bill the last day of the session will be devoted to routine matters. The legislators were greet ed last night at the Governors re- ception by the largest gathering ever to attend that historic func- ton.
