LARGE SUM
 ASKED FOR
 NEW HOME { - ~ .s .a.
Would Have Territory Build Pioneer lnstitu- :
 lion al Anchorage

A bill asking for a $225.000 ap- propriation to build another i Pioneers Home at Anchorage, and fight over House Joint Mem orial No l. with reference to the Merchant Marine Act, provided fireworks of the day for the lower legislative body.
 House Bill No. 39, by Represen- tative Rogge, introduced today, would appropriate the sum of $225, 900 for a new Pioneers Home to be built at Anchorage, Alaska.
 The introduction of the measure follows Saturdays report of the Sitka inspection trip in which it was stressed that conditions at the home there are overcrowded and that more space is needed to take care of a long waiting list of the Territory's pioneers. e
 The fight over House Joint Mem orial No. l, introduced by Repre- sentative H. H. McCutcheon, asking Congress to include Alaska in the Jones Act, which expressly ex- cludes Alaska in permission of transshipment of freight from Canadian ports to the United States and possessions.
 The measure passed with 13 to vote, First Division Representa- tives Davis, Mccormick and Walker voting no.
 McCutcheon said in support of the memorial that This is an in- suit we want to wipe out" while Davis said against the measure, If we permit Canadian boats to operate to Alaskan ports, we'll damage seriously the business of two steamship companies incorpor- ated in Alaska, the Alaska Trans tportation Company and the North land Transportatiop Company"
 Walker, who also voted mo" with Davis, said, We in the Fourth Di- vision were deprived of the neces- sities of life during the last steam ship strike because we couldn't get freight in Canadian bottoms"
 Smith of the Third Division, ad- mittedly elected with a labor vote | and on the New Deal ticket, said: q am definitely for the New Deal, and the New Deal is against monop- olies and special privileges For that reason I vote yes
 House bill No 19, much fought by employers in various industries, bill requiring detailed regular re- ports on status of employees regard ing citizenship, residence, work hours, etcetra, also drew fire on the House floor today, but with battles finished over definition of the term resident" and to whom the. reports should be made (amended to read auditor instead of Commissioner of Laboro the bill was ordered en- grossed for third reading and final vote. k~
 Two other bills Nos. 40 and Al, in- troduced today by Representative Spencer, have to do with expendi- ture of Territorial roads appropria- tions, changing the laws regarding manner of how the monies may be expended.
 The existing law provides that each Division is entitled to one fourth of the roads appropriations, but where cooperative monies Fed-

Thrice Mrs. Roosevelt broke
through the line to hurry down the
corridor, followed by Lady Katha-
rine, Mrs. Helm and Alan Lascelles,
acting private secretary to the King.
At last, the women in the blue
room started to clap. The applause
scattered up the line, somewhat
hampered by pencils and notebooks
to which the women still chung.
Their majesties started up the
line. There was no time to bow,
no time to give names Mrs. Roose-

King and the Queen. announced,
Your Majesties, the ladies of the
press" The Queen bowed, the King
twisted his topper, Mrs. Roosevelt
smiled, the ladies stared. They
scarcely noticed the other members
of the royal party who followed.
Wrong Exit Prevented.
For one uncertain moment 1t
looked like the King and Queen
would go out the wrong entrance,
still accompanied by Mrs. Roose-
welt. They had reached the end
of the line. were right at the door.
They started out, but were caught
just in time by an usher who steered

Then she said: Again I end the
conference"
Lady Katharine Seymour, lady in
waiting to her majesty, appeared on
the stairs. The women half rose to
see If the Queen followed her. She
didn't. Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Helm
and Lady Katharine conferred in
the corridor.
Mrs. Roosevelt came into the
room again to adjure the women to
be careful about saying the King
and Queen met the press after the
conference. That was the fourth
time.
Tension Is Doubled.
The word King" bounded from
tongue to tongue. The tension dou-
bled.
Then Mrs. Roosevelt told the
women to line up in the front hall.
The King and Queen were in
hurry, she said. The women sour
ried to line up, stretching from the
door to beneath the chandelier in
the blue room.
Earlier Mrs. Roosevelt had told
them to tell their name and the
paper they represented to the Queen.
They ran over the phrasing in their
minds. They thought about bows.

and who also is a house guest at
the White House. joined the Presi-
dent and King George during the
chat before retirement.
Royal Servants Serve.
The royal breakfast was served
by the servants of the King and
Queen who had been installed in
the White House for this brief visit.
The breakfast was a light one
typical of the average person, con-
sisting principally of fruit juices,
toast, eggs and bacon and coffee.
The President arose shortly be-
fore 9 o'clock and had his break
fast served in his room. Then he
busted himself with overnight dis
patches and reading the morning
newspapers. Mrs. Roosevelt had
breakfast with other guests in the
reception room at the end of the So
called west hall into which her
living suite enters.

Cling Of curiosity and excitement
which they strived to keep under
control-remembering with difncul-
ty the routine expression of ennui
in the presence of celebrities.
Mrs. Roosevelt was pretty ex-
cited, too, though she didn't seem
so at first. After she told the press
they wouldn't meet the Queen dur
ing the conference.-the King wasn't
mentioned until later-she started
answering questions about the
Queen.
The women obviously were shift
ing to her the questions they had
planned to ask the Queen, thereby
achieving what they hoped was the
same end by indirection.
The Queen, said Mrs. Roosevelt, Is
particularly interested in social con-
ditions. Mrs. Roosevelt found such
understanding and compassion as
the Queen demonstrated by her
questions unusual in somebody so
young"
Gift for Asking Questions.
The Queen has a great gift for
asking questions, said Mrs. Roose-
welt. So has the King.
Mrs. Roosevelt believes the royal
visit has great value for peace be-
cause it gives people an opportunity
