WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. IT The Senate has the makings of filibus- ter even before it has met.
 It lies in the same group that re- peatedly threatened such course last session but never carried it out the Nye-Clark- Bone group. The subject also is the same. They want more drastic neutrality act than was written last session and the session before.
 Now talk of a filbuster this early six months or more before the probable end of a Congress that has yet to convene. may sound fan tastic. But there are angles" Or January 31 the reconstruction fi- nance corporation lapses. A day ahead of that, January 30, the Pres ident's power further to devaluate the currency expires.

Plan Advocated by I. B. Wilson May Bring Settle

DEEP SEA MEN APPEAR ITOFAVOR LATEST MOVE
Deck Officers, However, Still Demand Hiring Pre-
 ferencein SelectingM

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 2l
 Tentatively approved agreements were to be voted upon tonight by the Sailors Union as Harry Lundeberg, the Sailors Secretary, planned to submit an agreement with offshore ship operators to the membership along with a tentative agreement with steam schooner operators. He said results would be announced as soon as possible. It is expected to take some little time to cast the ballot and make the tally. Details of the agreement have not been dis closed. The first definite prospect break in the maritime strike came last night when Lundeberg announced complete tentative agreement with offshore shipowners and Thomas G. Plant, representing the owners, con- :, firmed the announcement. The ten- tative plan must go to both sides for ratification.
 Both Lundeberg and Plant ex- pressed hope that the barriers in full settlement of the strike had fi- nally been broken.
 "The sailors want to show the oth- CT unions the way home" Lundeberg said as he prepared to seek mem- bership approval to the agreement at regular meetings in various ports tonight
 Plant inferred the plan, initiated by T. B. Wilson of the Alaska oper- ators, already was assured full SUD- port of the offshore shipowners when he said, it is our earnest hope that this will be acceptable to the union and that it will pave the way toward final settlement of the en- tire waterfront controversy" Plant said he would confer with J. F. Ferguson, representing the Bremen, on the Wilson plan to- day.
 Meanwhile, Assistant Secretary of Labor Edward F. McGrady contin- ued efforts with what was termed the toughest nut to crack" the demand of licensed deck officers for hiring preference over union mem- bers.

Western irregulars. merely tolerat- ed in more prosperous days, may at long last have the voice they have sought in formulating Republican policies in the Senate. The hard pressed Republican minority finally has come to them, with more than casual hint of new liberalism.
 That is an important concession The irregulars, or progresstves, are offered definite place in party councils, and it would seem that more than organization matters are involved.

Rooserelt Top Healthier
 Maker of l936; Hendricks,
 4. P. Esecl.tire, Says So

| NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-The ten most interesting news developments of 1886, from the American view point, as selected by J. M. Ken drick, Executive News Editor of The Associated Press: l.. ROOSEVELT.
 President Franklin D. Roosevelt again was the key point of interest and developments-all the more en- phatically so with his overwhelming reelection over Governor Ali M Landon, of Kansas. the Republican nominee, following bitter cam- paign, attack and defense of New Deal policies.
 Early in the year, the Supreme Court held unconstitutional the ag- riculture adjustment act; likewise the Guffey act. But the President did not permit the power of the Su- preme Court to become dominant issue in the campaign.
 Father Coughlin, Lemke and Townsend flopped, so far as the election was concerned.
 The Soldiers bonus was paid. The Social Security act went into ef- feet. The President opened the an-American conference in Buenos Aires, receiving a record-breaking reception.
 Business conditions improved gen. erally throughout the country There were widespread wage in- creases. There was very sharp in- crease in dividend payments the latter caused, in part, by the new surplus tax laws. Unemployment decreased, but remains very much of a problem.
 2. MRS. SIMPSON
 The Simpson affair, which be- came known first through the Amer ican press and then developed into the issue between King Edward and his government, headed by Prime Minister Baldwin, after the news fi- nally was printed in England - a story that goes into history with other great romances. The sensa- ton came only few months after the death of King George and cost Edward his throne. 3. WARS
 War and threats of war: Italy won it's war of conquest with Ethio- pia; then the Spanish revolution took the headlines and became the dynamite spot in the ever-growing talk of another world war. Hitler reoccupied the Rhineland; denoun- ced the Locarno Pact; signed an agreement with Japan against Rus sia and the latter let the world = Germany and Japan, in particular know it was ready for war; Japan continued it's drive into China; saw several of its ministers assassinated in military plot

LAST ACT SLICED UP

Those are important Headlines They are not entirely satisfactory Headlines against which to conduct filibuster. But Senators who want to put pressure behind some legisla- ton may be willing to risk the dis pleasure they might encounter from discommoding the administration by permitting some of it's important functions to lapse for time.
 T think the most important thing before the country is the enactment of a permanent neutrality law said Senator Clark. T am satisfied there are a certain number of Senators of whom am one, who will actively push the question to the floor for the very earliest consideration in the new Congress.
 Last session the neutrality act proposed by Clark and his muni- tions committee associates was boiled down in foreign relations committee and parts of it were sliced off by adept State Department car vers. Clark and his associates wanted and did not get an out right embargo on credit to warning nations. In addition to an embargo on munitions and war materials, which they got they sought unsuc- cessfully an embargo on food or oth- CT commodities sustaining a war They wanted, and did not get, pro-
