 New Commission

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Rep- resentative Warren Magnusen, of Seattle, has asked the appointment of Commission to renew negotia- tions with Canada for the con- struction of the s14,000,000 High way from the United State to AL aska via British Columbia and the Yukon Territory.
 A commission appointed in 1880 by Herbert Hoover, when he was President. found the project feas- ible and recommended construc- ton of the highway. However so far the Canadian Government has made no move to begin negotia- tions although leaders have shown interest in the project.
 Representative Magnusen in his resolution, asks the appointment of Commission by President Roose- welt composed of one citizen from Alaska, one member of Congress and three private citizens. The resolution gives the Commission two years in which to complete the work.

President Gives Warning Against
 Over Production
Discourage Durable Goods Consumption Encourage
 Consumer Goods, FDR

WASHINGTON. April 2--Presi- dent Roosevelt today told the news men at press conference that everybody who has been reviewing the present economic situation agreed that production of heavy in- dustries was growing more rapidly than the output of consumer goods and that judging by past experi- ence that constituted danger sign because every time it has hap pened there has been falling-off in both consumer and durable goods.
 In the period during the last twelve and eighteen months the President cited prices on such dur able goods as steel and copper as far too high and added that the time has come for the Government to discourage Federal expenditures of such goods and encourage expen- ditures of consumer goods.
 Cites Steel Increase
 He said that the increase in the price of steel about $6 ton, was two or three times larger than the wage increase recently approved by the industry.
 Foreign naval building, President Roosevelt said. had run up the pro- duction of domestic steel.
 Copper Mentioned
 Many mines, he said, would turn out copper at 5 or 6 cents pound and that mines like the Anaconda could make a profit at or cents, yet the commodity was now selling at IS and 19 cents.
 Seventy-five newspaper men at tended the conference today, the first in Washington since the Presi- dent returned from his Warm Springs vacation.

STOCK PRICES FORGED DOWN
 ON FDR TALK
Some Shares Decline from $l to Steel, Cop
 per Lead Retreat

NEW YORK, April 2. = The stock
 market reaction to President Roose- velt's statement was wave of sell ing which forced prices of shares
 down from $1 to $5 for few min- utes but later most of the extreme losses were shaded off. Steels and coppers led in the fast retreat. Wall Street observers said they have seldom seen so rapid a res ponse to a Presidential utterance in making a threat of cessation of Government buying.
 Both steel and copper men point ed out, however, that the Govern
 ment is comparatively light pur- chaser. S
 Comment Withheld Officials of the major copper companies were generally reluctant to make any comment but the exe- cutive of one of the smaller con- cerns said most of the copper pro- ducers are in hearty accord with
 the Presidents Judgment that the
 the Presidents judgment that the
 blame for the condition rests on factors entirely beyond their con- troll"
 In the commodity markets, the re-
 action was less marked. Copper futures sold off more than
 one third of a cent in some cases.
 On the other hand. Government
 bonds which have been on broad
 decline in recent days, rallied. a majority of them finishing higher
 at the end of the day. Corporation bonds were generally
 lower in quiet trading.

APPOINTMENTS CENTER LIVELY
 INTEREST NOW
Governor to Name Four to Welfare Board, Three to
 Compensation Com.

Appointment of four members, one from each Division, to the new ly created Board of Public Welfare and three to the Unemployment Compensation Commission centered a lively interest in the Legislature today as it prepared for action before sine die adjournment.
 Appointments, to the groups which are created by Social Secur- ity, gre to be made by Gov John w. Troy, who himself becomes a members of the Welfare Board but not of the Commission, and must be approved by the Legislature. Recommendations have been made by Legislators from the respective Divisions and the Chief Executive was expected to submit his ap- pointments to the Legislature late this afternoon or tonight for ap- proval or rejection.
 For Four Years
 Appointments to the Welfare Board are for four years and those to the Commission for two, four and six years.
 The Welfare Board has author ity to appoint Welfare Director to take charge of the work at a salary of $4,OO0 per year and the Commission may name an Execu- tive Director at a salary of $4,200. Already many applications have been made for these latter positions and for jobs that will be available in the two departments.
 The Welfare Board will have charge of old-age assistance, aid to dependent children and blind and such other duties as conferred upon it by law" work which has in the past been done in the Gov ernor's office. It will have the ex- penditure of money for pensions, for aiding needy and indigent, children and mothers.
 The Unemployment Commission will have charge of setting up un- employment benefit regulations. as provided under the act passed by the Legislature, and in cooperation with the Federal Act. It will de- termjne who is eligible for bene- fits. the amounts to be paid and establish employment offices throughout the Territory through which the work will be handled.
 Who Gets Pensions
 Under the old-age assistance act, which has now been approved un- der the Social Security setup, pen sions will be paid to citizens of the United States who have been residents of the Territory for nine years, and in continuous residence during five years of that time, who have attained the age of 65 and are in need of help. The maximum amount to be paid is $45 per month. But it is left to the Welfare Board to determine the amount in indi- vidual cases. The average pension for the Territory now runs from $25 to $27 per month. The Fed eral government will pay dollar for dollar up to $50 per month. In other words, if a pension of $45 per month was paid, the Federal government would pay $15. If the pension was $25, the Federal government would pay $12.50, but in no case will it pay in excess of SIS per month.

NEW YORK, April 2. - Hundreds of soft coal mines throughout the Nation are closed today and at least 462,- 900 workers are idle in what it tantamount to a strike be- cause of a deadlock between the mine operators and un- ions over a new contract. All indications pointed, however. to an early settlement.
 The miners are demanding a daily wage increase of 50 cents to $5.50 a day.
 The miners are also de- manding time and a half for overtime and this has proved to be the principal stumbling block.
 Presidential intervention is likely if the strike lasts more than a few days.
 It is said there are only 30 days supply of soft coal above the ground.
 The strike is the largest since the one of two years ago.
 John L. Lewis, head of the Unit ed Mine Workers of America, this morning said the mine operators asked more time to consider the de- mands. Negotiations, Lewis said, be- gan February IT.
