DEMOCRATS ARE
 CALLED TOGETHER

Washington, May 21.-(UP).-The administration controlled house broke its lines today in major battle over the presidents $1,500,000,- 900 work relief program. White House legislative lieutenants sum- moned the full democratic member ship to the floor in their drive to knock down scores of proposed changes in one of the most vital New Deal measures to reach con- gress this session. The order for full party attendance went out after a rebellious house broke with the ad- ministration on the economy issue and sent on to the senate yester- day an interior department supply bill $7,131,000 greater than budget estimates.
 Faced with signs of party dis affection, Democratic Whip Patrick J. Roland, democrat, Pennsylvania, with the support of other party leaders, called on IS assistant whips to bring the 330 democrats to the floor for today's relief fight. On roll-call votes the majority was ex- pected to remain sufficiently intact to pass the relief bill without dam age.
 The relief program is designed to keep an average of 100000 persons on work relief during the next fis- cal year, approximately 525,000 less than at present.

MORCENTHAU HAS
 ASSURED CALLERS

Washington, May 21-(UP)-Sec- retary of the Treasury Henry Mor- genthau, Jr., has assured visitors that the national budget would be in full balance by the end of the next fiscal year, it was learned au- thoritatively today.
 In addition, he has intimated strongly that the United States has no immediate contemplation of changing the current gold price of $35 an ounce. There have been in termitten reports in various inter- national financial centers that the treasury expects to reduce this price.
 The general impression received from those who have talked over the matter with Morgenthau is that no plan is under consideration for such a change and that the treas ury is highly satisfied with it's present policies including that of steriliZing gold imports.

CONDEMNED MAN
 MAKES SPEECH

Galena, Mo-. May 21. (UP)- Roscoe (ReO Jackson, native son of the Ozarks who turned robber and killer, stood on the gallows just after daybreas today and told a crowd of 1,200 of his people how it felt to die.
 ITO be killed accidentally is not so hard" he said. But to have death come on gradually like this is trying. Its hard to die like this"
 The crowd stood silently in the cool morning air. Jackson spoke for about two minutes and then was led to the trap. A black hood was dropped over his head and Sheriff I. H. Coin sprang the trap that dropped him eight feet, where he dangled 10 minutes. Most spectators were men, but one woman stood at the foot of the gall lows holding a baby in her arms, and many small boys watched the execution through knotholes in the rough oak boards.
 ITO ask anyone to forgive me is too much. Death itself is not so bad, but the record 8 person leaves behind may be bad. If I could wipe out my record, I'd be contended to die.
 T don't like to die with this re- proach on me. For those of you who believe in prayer. ask your prayers"

Other May Be Making Her Way to Port Trial
 Races Postponed

Newport, R. T., May 21-(UP)- T. O. M. Sopwith's Endeavour I, potential British challenger for the Americas cup, whose towline was parted at the height of 55-mile gale some 300 miles of Newport, was presumed today to be complet- ing her journey under her own can- vas and little fear was felt for her safety.
 It was expected the British sloop would arrive here tomorrow or Sunday.
 Endeavour I, unsuccessful chal- lenger three years ago, broke loose from the motor convoy yacht Viva II late Friday night, approximately the same time that Harold Stirling (NGike) Vanderbilt's newest $500, 900 contender Ranger was dismasted in storm off the Massachusetts coast while being lowed here from Bath, Maine.
 Report of Mishap
 First report of Endeavour's mis- hap was signaled to Gerald B. Kam- bert's schooner Atlantic by the Viva which arrived here yesterday. The Viva reported she has been unable to find her tow after the storm sub sided. The coast guard patrol boat Argo was ordered to investigate and reported that Endeavour radioed the day after she lost her convoy that "all is we'll"
 Aboard the British racer is a crew of 20, headed by Captain Ned Heard who skippered the late Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock V. En- deavour I had left Gosport, Eng land, three days after her sister ship, Endeavour II, had put out from the same port under tow ot the Belgian trawler John. The new British craft arrived here Tuesday after an uneventful 18-day voyage and put in at the Herreshoff yards at nearby Bristol to be fitted out
 Trial Postponed
 Meanwhile, dismasting of Ranger resulted in postponement of trial races by the New York Yacht club custodianS of the Americas cup Preliminary races between Ranger Chandler Hovey's Rainbow, success full defender in 1884, and Lambert's Yankee, originally scheduled to be- gin May 29, will start June 2 in- stead. Observation races will be held June 19 instead of June l2 but final trials will begin July and the cup race July 31 as scheduled
 Both Endeavours also will com- pete in trials to determine which will draw the honor of challenger
 Mishap to Endeavour I was mini- mixed by General Manager c. w. Haffenreffer of the Herreshoff yards who said there was undue excite ment about the whole thing" and that the vessel was quite capable of continuing under her own sail.
 At the Herreshoff yards now are Ranger, whose auxiliary spar will be stepped there; Endeavour II, which is being re-rigged, and Rainbow which is being readied for her sea- sons debut.

The Cathedral of Learning, a 42-story skyscraper, was conceived by Dr. John Gabbert Bowman, who became chancellor of the university in 1921. Finding the school cramped for lack of laboratories, classrooms and offices, Chancellor Bowman proposed construction of the building.
 Other university officials wanted to construct eight or ten buildings, but Chancellor Bowman finally won out on his argument that the height and proportion of the building would symbolize lasting inspira- ton, symbol of the aspiration of Pittsburgflh from pioner days to the present"
 Building Site Donated
 When the idea finally was &C., cepted, the name Cathedral of Learning" first used in discussions of the project, was adopted. Friends of the university gave ground for the tall building, IA acres in the heart of Oakland, Pittsburgh's civic center.
 The job of designing the build ing was awarded to Charles z. Klauder, Philadelphia architect, who carried out Dr. Bowman's idea for Gothic tower.
 Ground was broken for the cathedral in 1926, and construc- tion continued until 1881. Lack of funds forced suspension of opera tions until 1884, when federal civil works administration aid enabled resumption of work long enough to complete exterior stone work. Building 85 Per Cent Finished
 Now, II years after it was begun, the building is 85 per cent con- plqete, representing an expenditure of approximately $8,000,000. Of this amount, more than $500,0O0 was contributed by Pittsburghers during 1886 for completion of the cathedral's great commons room, a main floor foyer three quarters of an acre in area and four stories high. Finished entirely in cut stone, the commons room will be the cen
