NEGOTIATIONS IN
 TANKER STRIKE. HAVE COLLAPSED
Marine Circles View Situa- ton as Now Exceed
 ingly Delicate

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April 26.-Mediation efforts of the Gov ernment Board in the coastwise tanker strike collapsed last night and it was admitted in marine circles that the situation is deli cate.
 Whether the situation will de- velop into general marine strike could not be determined late last night.
 The breakdown in efforts for a settlement was announced by AL bert A. Rosenbaum. Chairman of the Mediation Board.
 As members of the joint tank CTS and strike committee left the conference they blamed the "ar- rogant attitude of the Standard Oil Company for refusing to give in one inch" in it's recent stand on the strike, as the cause for the deadlock.
 One strike leader said: There is nothing to do now but to tight en up our picket lines and liven up the strike"

Thirty-Fire Thousand Maritime Workers Are United in One Big Federation Along Pacific Coast

SEATTLE, April 26. = Harry Lundberg, aged 34 years, of Seattle, who believes keeping to the mid de of the road" has been elected President of the Maritime Fedora tion of the Pacific, regarded as the most powerful labor group on the coast.
 Fred w. Friedell, of San Pedro, Cal, has been elected Vice-Presi- dent, and F. M. Kelly, of San Francisco, Secretary Treasurer
 Lundberg said the organization represents "35,0OO workers welded into one.' @
 While emphasizing primary de- pendence on arbitration in all la Dor disputes the organization plans to make extensive use of the strike as weapon where negotiations fail.
 The newly formed Federation vot- ed approval of the oil tanker strike even to the extent of calling a general strike in its support if necessary.
 The Federation binds several mar time unions, longshoremen, en- gineers, sailors, firemen, oilers, watertenders, cooks, stewards, mas ters, mates, radiomen and ferry boatmen into the one unit.

SALEM, Oregon, April 26. = Smouldering ruins, only an ugly black shell, is all that remains to- day of Oregon's State Capitol Building, which was razed by fire last evening, killing one fireman, Floyd McMullen, Willamette Uni versity sophomore, when crumb- ling chimney fell on him. One CCC worker was injured during the height of the fire.
 Bremen this morning still train- ed water on the ruins.
 The fire started at 6::30 o'clock last night in the basement and swirled upward through the eleva- tor shaft and a little more than an hour later the dome collapsed.
 The 60-year-old building which contained the main state offices, Executive offices. State and House, cost $700,O00 but the value of the equipment, records and historical relics are expected to bring the actual investment of the loss to around $l,500,000.
 Gov. Charles H. Martin is pre- pairing to call a special session oi the State Legislature to discus: housing of the executive offices and a new building.

Republican Drive Seen as Real Threat to Harrison
 Compromise Bill
MATTER EXPECTED
 TO COME UP MONDAY
Patman or Vinson Measure Will Be Offered as
 Substitute

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The Harrison bonus plan, which was re- ported out by the Senate Finance committee yesterday, ran into diff faculties today in the form of a Republican drive for the Vinson bill to pay the bonus in full immed- lately. They were lining up unan- imously for the Vinson measure which was defeated by the House by a narrow margin. The Repub- lican stand threw scare into Ad- ministration leaders.
 The bonus is due to be called up Monday at which time either the Vinson or Patman bills will be offered as a substitute to give the Senate a chance to select the bill it prefers to vote on.
 With the Republicans solidly be- hind the Vinson bill which does not state how the money will be raised to pay the bonus, it is looked upon as a real threat to the Administrations compromise Harri- son measure. rather than the Pat man bill.
 The Harrison bili offers cash only up to the current surrender value of the certificates.

Staggering Responsibility of Spending Relief Money

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The Agricultural Adjustment Admins tration said that under new ruling made by J. R. McCarl, Comptroller General, farmers may receive the benefit of payments without reducing wheat acreage.

 The ruling, AAA officials said, will release about $33,000,000 to the farmers, many who have suffered greatly through the drought and dust storms.

The Daily Alaska empire., 1935-04-26
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, the Associated Press, Washington)

President Roosevelt has under taken some sizeable tasks, but it is questionable whether anything he has tackled thus far is even in the same class with the $4,880,- 100000 spending job he now is beginning.
 The total of the new work relief appropriation is so great that most ordinary people simply can't grasp it's magnitude.
 To most American citizens, $l,- 100000 is hard to visualize. Imag- inc 4,880 sacks of currency, with $1 100000 in each.
 And in spite of the qualifying amendments which Congress put into the act, the Presidents lati- tude as to the manner and alloca- ton of the spending remains ex- tremely broad The ease with which "earmarked" funds can be moved about from one ledged column to another has been demonstrated frequently.
 The responsibility which rests on MT. Roosevelt in this matter would be positively staggering, even if it involved only the obvious difficult ties of making wise selections, in a wholly detached way, from among the thousands of spending projects which will be placed before him

ENGLAND WILL
 CELEBRATE IN
 GRAND STYLE
Jubilee to Take Color of Victorian Revival
 National Holiday

LONDON. April 26-The color and gaiety of bygone days will re- turn to England this summer in celebration of the 25th anniver- sary of King Georges accession to the throne.
 Every city, town and village will be emblazoned with flowers, flags and bunting for the high carni- val centering around May 6, the actual anniversary which will be a national holiday.
 Buildings will be floodlit, and there will be parades and pageants the like of which England never saw before.
 Cities Buying Bunting
 The official period for the cele- brations is fortnight, but most of the decorations-which are to be weatherproof, incidentally-will re- main weeks longer. Manufacturers of flags and bunting are working overtime.
 Various boroughs of London have approved expenditures of more than $l00,000 for the decorations, while Brighton, England's favorite sea- side resort, has set aside $30,000 for fireworks and other frills.
 Even the summers fashions are going to idealize typical beauties of the past, the camellia-like types of early Victorian days. Women will appear with curls punched on the forehead and at the nape of the neck, revealed by bonnet-shaped hats.
 Mere Man Unadorned
 One of the gowns already de- signed is in material copied from an engraving at Bond street art gallery. Another contains 60 yards of tulle, another 1l0 yards of horse hair. Skirts of flimsy material will rustic over acres of petticoats.
 AS final touch, London's beau ties will be expected to carry long, handled parasols, tied with bows.
 Nothing has been done so far to- ward decorating the male form for the occasion.

 The cost of the Jubilee has also been criticized in Parliament, no- tably by the fiery Laborite "The Ungovernable" Jack McGovern.
 Notwithstanding the criticism, however, elaborate plans go for ward for the Jubilee.

SENATOR NELLY HAS GREAT JOB,
 HOLDS 1T WELL
Admits He Reads Comics
 After Duties Known, One Can't Blame Him
(By HERBERT PLUMMER)

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Sen- ators chuckled in the cloakrooms when a Washington newspaper re- ported that Senator Nicely of West Virginia read the comics while his colleagues tried to disentagle themselves on the Presidents work relief bill.
 But West Virginia's only Sena- tor at the moment (the junior Senator. Rush Holt, won't be 30 until June 19) doesn't mind
 Mention the fact to him and he'll say right off:
 Comics? I like them. Did l ever tell you of the time that l fell behind and almost had to call a page to carry 'em over to the floor?"
 There's reason the Senator from West Virginia reads comics at his desk while others are en- gagged in passing bills.
 And it's because. he has the toughest job of them all.

UNDER PRESSURE

But it involves a great deal more. MT. Roosevelt is very far from being in the position of man making will dispoSing of $4,88O,- 100000. Undue pressure from pos sible beneficiaries invalidates a will; and moreover, the maker of the will never has to worry much about the consequences.
 From now on until the last pen ny is allocated, MT. Roosevelt is certain to be under the strongest kind of pressure. The states, cit ies and communities are mobiliz- ing their most persuasive agents on the doorstep It is disputed question how far politics actually will enter into the decisions made, but it is perfectly assured that scores of politicians will do their oily best to get in on the ground floor.
 So far as the consequences are concerned. MT. Roosevelt himself has more to gain or lose than has any claimant. Not only the suc- cess of the recovery program, but his own political future may easily become involved.
 Either a first class failure or a first-class scandal would be used against him in 1886, even though the real cause lay in the blun- dering crookedness of subordinates

AT Al CRITICAL TIME

Many in Washington believe this test of MT. Roosevelt's acumen hardly would come at more crit ical time.
 On the one hand, political cur rents again are swirling uncer- tainty. The Republican opposi- ticn, declaring public sentiment. is turning strongly away from the
