VIOLET DRESS
FOR MOURNING,
QUEENS ORDER
Decree Found In
Marie's Will

BUCHAREST, Rumania, July
10 U.N.S).-Dowager queen
Marie, ever a colorful figure in
life, saw to it in death today
that her funeral should be no
drab affair.
King Carol and other members
Of the royal family were
hstounded when Marie's will was
opened and read today, for it ex-
pressed this wish:
That during the period of court
mourning. the ladies should wear
dresses of dark violet-"violet car
dinale"-instead of the customary
black.
NICHOLAS INVITED
It was also learned that King
Carol has invited his estranged
brother, Prince Nicholas, to re-
turn to Bucharest for the funeral.
The younger prince, who married
a commoner and was allegedly
mixed up with the Fascist Iron
Guard, has been living in Paris
with his wife.
Flanked by adjutants Of the
court, the body of Queen
Mother Marie was brought by
train through lanes of sorrowing
subjects to Bucharest today on
the eve of the eleventh anniver-
sary of the death Of her husband,
King Ferdinand.
Large crowds we're gathered
outside Cotraceni Palace, waiting
to pay final honors to Marie. She
will lie in the golden hall Of the
palace on the precise spot where
King Ferdinand's body lay in
state.
BURIAL BESIDE HUSBAND
With solemn ceremonial, accom-
panied by troops and hundreds Of
mourners from noblemen to peas
ants, the body of the famous
Queen was taken from Sinaia and
placed aboard a royal funeral
train.
All this evening and tomorrow
the people of Rumania will have
the final opportunity of kneeling
in homage to the queen. Then,
Thursday morning, she will be
taken to Curtea Di Arges, and the
body will be placed to rest beside
her husband.
ROYALTY INVITED
Royalty from all over Europe
was invited to the funeral. It was
possible the funeral might be
postponed for "a hours, to permit
all to arrive.
Marie died Of an unusual form
Of cirrhosiS of the liver just after
returning from a long series of
treatments in Germany. At the
end, she was surrounded by King
Carol, her son; Crown Prince
Michael, the former Queen Eliza
beth Of Greece, and Miron Cristea,
patriarch of the Rumanian
church and prime minister. I'm
mediately after she died, Patriarch
CriStea retired to the palace
chapel and recited solemn mass.

ADvICES TO FEMMER

d. B. Femmer, Juneau agent for
the Alaska Transportation Com
pany, operating the steamer Evelyn
Berg, received the following radio
gram from R. v. Miller, agent for
the company in Seattle. The radio
gram, dated January II, CAST night
follows:
Although meeting tonight did not
definitely settle the trouble, con-
census is considerable progress was
made and by Wednesday evening
will either be settled or develop into
a long drawn out fight.
Because of favorable outlook and
heavy expense for shippers in hav-
ing cargo taken to Tacoma, I feel
we had better wait until Wednes-
day evening before announcing Ia
coma loading and sailing as expense
is not justified if sailing only de-
layed one day. Will keep you fully
advised and if matter is still un-
settled Wednesday evening, plan to
load and sail from Tacoma as soon
as possible which will be Thursday
night or Friday, depending on time
taken to assemble cargo"

certain conditions.
One of the first moves would be
to divert labor and raw materials
from the production of non-essen-
tial items to the production of those
necessary to defense needs.
We are not completely self -suf-
ficient in military requirements, &C
cording to the experts. Rubber
would be one of our largest i'm
port needs although we could re-
claim large quantity in civilian
use for military purposes.
The nation is dependent on out
side sources for manganese, iodine
and tungsten. A coffee famine
might irk soldiers as well as civil
ians. An expanded sugar beet ac-
reage, however, would go far in
providing the nation with normal
supply of sweets.

HIS WORD LAW
Russia Is to Build National
Defense and Raise
Living Standards

MOSCOW, Jan. IL. The New
Red Parliament is opening session
in the Kremlin with LAB men and
women deputies dressed in the red
uniforms of the army or the bright
holiday garb of Russia's many ma
tionalities, rendering un d sputed
loyalty to Stain.
The deputies brought instructions
from their various districts at home
to tell Stain: "All his counsel all
his advice, we deem law"
The main question being faced
is whether Stain himself or one
of his deputies shall assume open
leadership and power as Chairman
Of the new Soviet presidium group.
The Pravda, Communist news
paper, declared the program which
the New Red Parliament will fol-
low, is building the country's de-
lenses against its enemies without
capitalists agents" within; raising
the standard of living, and adj
vancing the national economy to
first rank in the world.

Statehood for Ha,vaiii Will
Be Denied, and Just Why For
BY PRESTON GnOVER

WASHINGTON, Jan. IL. The
Japanese are likely to be rebuffed
by the United States once more
very soon-and they will be left
with little opportunity for official
recourse.
Best sources indicate that Ha-
wall will be denied the privilege of
statehood. The reason given here
in off-the record conversations is
that there are so many japanese
there.
Immediately after the regular
session last summer a party of
Senators and Representatives left
for Hawaii to go once again into
the question of island statehood.
They took along wives and daugh-
tiers, and expenses were paid from
a $21 900 appropriation by the Ha-
waiian legislature.
AS in 1895, during similar in
quiry, they took voluminous testi-
mony and came back with impress
sions something like these:
The island population of 1886, 200
justifies statehood, since that
makes it about as large as sew
eral smaller states of the union.
It builds morale to give self-gov-
eminent to a people.
The populace is capable of stable
self government under statehood.

Is America Safe?
Backlog for United States in Euent of War
Is Seen in Vast amount, Natural Resources
This is the last of three ar

fenses).
BY ALEXANDER II. GEORGE
AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. - The
United States has a thirdline war
defense which is by far the most
formidable in the world-national
resources.
This country possesses nearly
one-half of the worlds total supply
of essential raw materials, raises
practically all of the foodstuffs it
requires and boasts a virtually I'M
limited manufacturing plant ca
pacity.
1t has an abundance of such i'm
portant materials for military re-
quirements as iron and steel, lead
and copper, oil and cotton. Nickel
needed for toughening steel could
be obtained from friendly Canada,
worlds greatest source of supply.
The United States is tops in num-
Der of manufacturing plants, in
transportation facilities, in number
of inventors, technicians and skilled
workers. In the event Of war the
production of fighting planes, OF
tanks, guns, high explosives and
other weapons and munitions could
be almost unlimited.
War Experience Cited
War Department plans looking
to a swift mobilization of resources
at any outbreak of hostilities pro-
vide for rapid stepping up of the
output of military aircraft. These
plans include estimates of the
speed with which planes could be
built and put into service but the
figures as well as other mobiliza-
ton details are a secret.
Aviation observers, however, cite
the vast American production of
planes during the World War when
aviation was in its infancy as in
dicating that this country could
produce as many planes as it would
need.
A Secret Plan
For soldiers this country can. tap
a virtually inexhautlble reservoir
of manpower. When We entered
the World War there were 100000
men in the American army, one
third of them National Guardsmen.
Nineteen months later the United
States had an army of 1000, 900 men,
some 100000 had been transported
2 900 miles across submarine infest-
ed seas and 100000 had fought in
France.
Since the World War, militaryl

Last Report from Veteran
Filler that Gas Beng
Dumped for Landing

BULLETIN-SAN FRAN
CISCO, Jan. l2.-Wreckage,
identified by the Navy as
from the Samoan Clipper. has
been found IA miles north
west Of Page Page where the
big flying boat and crew Of
seven disappeared suddenly.
A brief message did moi
mention any survivors. The
message received said: THE
Nays motor launch is re-
covering parts of the wreck
age and identified satisfactOr-
ily."
/ 1t is now believed that fire
destroyed the clipper, as ex-
cess fuel was released from
the trim craft for a safe land
ing. 1t is believed the gasO-
line became ignited and blew
the clipper to pieces in midair.
Pan-American officials in
San Francisco believe the
words identified satisfaetor-
lily" means the wrechaee is
that of the clipper.
Afternoon advices also re-
port discovery of the wreck
age and that the patrol AvO-
Get has dispatched a launch to
pick up parts of the wrecked
plane.

erican Samoa, Jan. 12.-Hope
waned today for the Trans
Pacific Samoan Clipper, and
crew of seven men, which van
ished mysteriously yesterday,
a few minutes out of Tutuila
Island.
The belief grows that the
Elton flying boats gasoline
caught fire as it was being
dumped into the ocean, and
the ship exploded.
1t is estimated that the Sa-
moan Clipper was only out of
Page Page about three min
utes when dumping of gasO-
line took place in preparation
for landing.
When last heard from the
plane reported the time as
being 1927 o'clock, Eastern
Standard time.
Oil slick is reported to have
been found on the water, IL
miles off Tutuila Island in the
same vicinity a column Of
smoke was reported sighted
Yesterday.
The feeling here is that the
smoke marked the death trail.
No further word came from
the ship itself after the smoke
column was seen and after it
was observation-disclosures
being made to land. This word
was flashed out by Capt. Ed
ward c. Musick, 48-year-old
veteran trans-oceanic flier,
who was on his last flight with
the clipper in the Pan-Am-
