 BASIS CHANGED
Lo al Federal Employees Now Put on Par with
 Those Tn Panama

Federal employees in Alaska are now on the same basis as those in Panama regarding their annual leave, according to telegram re- ceived by The Empire from Dele gate Dimond. He said he will ask President Roosevelt to make no pay cut affecting Alaskan employees.

 In his telegram to The Empire the Delegate said:
 With kind and active assistance of Senators Dill and La Toilette amendment obtained on floor of Senate to Economy Bill placing Federal employees in Alaska on par with those in Panama regarding annual leave.
 This is the best obtainable but will make an effort to convince President, who has discretionary powers under bill, that pay cut should not apply to Alaska. Sen- ate amendments have been agreed to by the House and bill now goes to the President"

 TAKE QUICK ACTION Senate Opposes Some Por- lions of Suggestions
 by Roosevelt

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Pres- ident Roosevelt's bold prescription for the nations agricultural ills is bound up a rougher road than any of his three precious proposals for emergency action during the past eight days.
 There are signs of rebellion in the Democratic Senate ranks.
 There is possibility the House will pass the bill today.
 Friends of the Administrations program, although confident of it's ultimate passage by the Senate, ad- mitted progress there will be slow CT than in the House. Some Sena- tors are objecting to the speed in which Congress is acting and also on the program which would place in the hands of Secretary of Agri- culture Wallace powers to deal with problems of low prices, surplus produce and various other features in the bill proposed by the Presi- dent.

 Volunteer firemen are stricken from the exemption list, and the provision in the existing law limit ing the ages from 21 to 50 is also stricken. The measure also re- quires any taxpayer claiming an exemption to file an affidavit stating under which class of per sons named he claims exemption. !"

ALCOHOLIC CONTENT

 Stumbling Blocks

WASHINGTON, March IF. The House today rejected the $ ena t Q amendments to the Beer Bill and sent it to conference this afternoon to compose differences between the two branches of Con- gress.
 The main stumbling block to an agreement is the differ. ence in the provisions regard ing the alcoholic percentage in the beverage.
 The amendment forbidding the sale of beer to persons under 16 years of age and also allowing wine to have the same alcoholic content as beer are other proposals ob- jected to by the House.
 It is believed the House will hold strongly to 3.2 per cent alcoholic content and eliminate reference of sale to minors. The wine provision may also be rejected as it is expected a new wine bill will be pressed.
