PWA Giving Sum
 Money But Must
 Wait On Congress

Fairbanks application for $50,000 from the Public Works Administra- tion has been approved in all par ticulars by it, and the money will be allotted just as soon as the Public Works has any funds in its treasury. All it's finances are now exhausted but they are expected to be replen- ttished by the Congress meeting in January says the Fairbanks News Miner of Dec. 1st.
 The gratifying information rela- tive to the Fairbanks application is contained in telegram that Mayor E. B. Collins received from Dele gate in Congress Anthony J. Di- 1nond and that the municipal exec utive submitted to the City Council at it's meeting last night.
 The message to the Mayor from the Delegate follows:
 Application of Fairbanks for g loan and grant has been examined and found eligible, but there are now no further funds available for allottments of this character. l be- lieve the allotment will be made if and when the Public Works Admin istration receives additional money"
 News advices from Washington, Mayor Collins stated, are to the ef- feet that the new Congress will act quickly, immediately after meeting in January, in appropriating funds for the. Public Works Administra, ton.
 The Mayor and City Council de cided to await the action. of Congress rather than offer a public sale o1 bonds.
 The $50,0OO is to be expended for combined City Hall and Fire De partment Building, which will cost $50, 1000; for sewer extension, $10 900 and for sidewalk repairs and con- struction, $l0,000.
 The authorities are going ahead with the perfection of plans for the improvements so the work, after Public Works funds are made avail able, can be started early in the spring.

dieta Regime.

Another step in perfecting diplo-
matte relations between the United
States Government and the recently
recognized Mendieta regime in Cuba
was taken late yesterday afternoon
when President Roosevelt accepted the
credentials of DR.. Manuel Marquee
Sterling as Cuban Ambassador to the
United States
The President formally received the
Cuban diplomat in the blue ROOM
where the latter was presented by rep
resentatives of the State Department.
Following an exchange of fluctuations
between the President and the Ambas-
sador, Mr. Roosevelt invited Cuba to
open negotiations for revising treaty
relations with the United States. This
proposed revision is expected to in
clude a modification of the permanent
treaty between the United States and
Cuba and for revision of the CONNER
cial conventions between the two coun-
tries.
The permanent treaty to which ref
erence was made during this diplo-
matte discussion contains the Platt
amendment by which Cuba accepted
the right of the United States to inter-
vene for the preservation of order.
This stipulation has been attacked by
the anti-Machado elements in Cuban
politics
Mr.. Roosevelt yesterday afternoon
also accepted formally the credentials
of Ralph William Close as Minister of
the Union Of South Africa.

RESTORATION
AGREEMENT
REPORTED
Federal Employees Now Be.
Iieved Likely to Get 10
Per Cent by July |

With the Federal employees vir-
tually assured of winning back
a larger portion Of their pay than
was recommended by President
Roosevelt in his budget message,
it appeared that -$s Astles on
the question are to be fought out
in the Senate subcommittee on
the independent offices supply
bill when that group meets to
mark up the measure tomorrow.
Senator Pat McCarran Q0 Of
Nevada, a member Of the sub
committee who is leading the
restoration fight, is entirely op-
timistic over the situation. having
expressed the belief his group
will be victorious at least to the
extent Of obtaining an additional
5 per cent restoration beginning
July !.
Compromise Reported
Logically it would be with
Senator McCarran that the Ad-
ministration leaders in the Senate
would discuss any compromise
agreement they may have to
offer, and it has been reliably
reported that the White House
friends in the Senate have sug-
gested such an agreement.
The Nevada Senator, however,
is not willing as yet to definitely
agree to proposal for S per cent
restoration now and an additional
S per cent in July, but still car
ries hopes that full restoration in
July may be accomplished and
that the per cent restoration i'm
mediately can be Llade retroactive
to January Of this year.
This, it is generally believed,
will be the basis for the fight an
