Hamlet, who has been conducting the commission’* inqury into maritime conditions of the west coast, would with draw from strike settlement ne gotiations in San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12.—W) —Immediate opening of peace ne gotiations in the maritime strike that has throttled Pacific coast marine commerce for two weeks was forecast today by Assistant Labor Secretary Edward F.

I still think there is a chance to settle this strike quickly.” 178 Ships Held The official spent most of yester day conferring with representatives of the 37,000 striking union workers, whose walkout at midnight, Oct. 28 has left an estimated 178 ships strike-bound In west coast ports and Hawaii, and led to sympathy action In Atlantic and Oulf har bors.

New Revenue Needed Unless State Requests Are Cut Doom RALEIGH, Nov. 12.—(AT—The ad visory budget commission, whose re port to the general assembly will be the basis for work <m the biennial appropriations bill, was faced today with the alternative of paring down requested appropriations or finding new revenue The state Democratic party is pledged to repeal the sales tax on "the necessities of life,” which was added by the 1936 legislature, and requests for appropriations indicate the cost of government may run as high as $73,000,000 a year during the new biennium. In addition to this total, educa tional. charitable and correctional institutions have asked an addi tlonal $7,416,488 for permanent Im provements which, if granted, prob ably would be financed by bond is sues. State expenses during the current fiscal year are estimated at $64,000,000. After concluding three days of hearings on appropriations requests, the commission met today in execu tive session to begin drawing up its recommendations and to consider drafting a budget revenue and a revenue machinery act. School sources have indicated that a request will likely be made for around $25,000,000 for next year as compared with the approximate ly $21,000,000 appropriated for the current year Entire Cabinet Always Resigns At bid Of Term WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—(AV President Roosevelt'* entire cabinet may resign before his second inau guration next January 30 — but that's Just an old cabinet custom. With conjecture rife concerning the probable make-up of the next cabinet, a White House attache ex pressed belief the present cabinet officers would tender their resign ations near the close of President Rooavelt’s current term “as a mat ter of delicacy,” thus leaving him free to reappoint whom he desired. At the State department, how ever, experts on precedent said neither ambassadors nor ministers would submit resignations inas much as the election produced no change of administration. Where the cabinet is concerned, a search of treatises on the subject in the Library of Congress disclos ed some changes in custom over the year, especially regarding the reappointment of cabinet members by hold oimr presidents. “Originally a person nominated and confirmed to a cabinet posi tion held his office without a new appointment and a new commis sion under a president succeeding himself,” one historian wrote, “but a custom grew up that when a President, elected to a second term, desires to retain any member of his former cabinet for him to renom inate such a person to the Senate.” TREASURY SEEKS MONEYCONTROL Wants To Retain TKe Power Of Setting Value WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. — Treasury officials hinted today that the administration will ask Con gress to continue indefinitely its present far - reaching monetary powers. v A bill will be offered in the first few days of the session, one high authority said, extending the gov ernment’s authority to maintain the $2,000,000,000 stabilization fund and the President’s special powers to vary the gold content of the dollar. Both are scheduled to ex pire January 30 under present law. The official asserted it had not been finally determined whether the extension would be asked for som fixed period qr indefinitely, but added that the prevailing opin ion of treasury experts favored un limited continuance. This was desirable, it was said, because of this country’s participa tion in the new monetary agree ment with Prance and England. Under this accord, the three na tions are pledged to use “appropri ate available resources” to prevent sharp fluctuations in their cur rencies. Although any nation may with draw from the agreement if its In ternal economy is adversely affect ed, no such withdrawal is in sight now. Since the understanding seems likely to continue for an in definite period, officials said it ap pears desirable to extend the life of the stabilization fund indefinitely to assist the United States in car rying out its part of the agree ment. SLEEPER BARELY ESCAPES DEATH Fire of undetermined original last night destroyed a house owned by the Lily Mill company in which P. W. Smart was sleeping and from which he barely escaped before it collapsed. Mill officials today placed the loss at approximately $1,200 which is partially covered by insur ance.

ATTACK GOES ON AS FIRE SPREADS THROUGH MADRID Fascists Claim Anar chist Defenders Fire City staff Returns By The Associated Pw MADRID. Nov. 12.—Massed In surgents, advancing under a canopy of artillery shells, nervously cooked their rifles today for an expected fresh attack on Madrid from the southwest. Fascist commanders halted a sur prise attack In the northwest sec tor as the Insurgent drive encoun tered strong resistance from an In ternational legion blocking the en trance through northern universi ty city. The onslaught started shortly be fore midnight but died down a few hours later. Although Fascist and Socialist guns diminished fire there, the roar of Insurgent cannon > still sounded from the southwest. As shells crashed Into Madrid from some batteries, other gun em placements were vacated and the cafhnon moved forward. Gwas Near Socialist troops In the front line trenches around the Manxanares river bridge on the Madrld-Toledo highway could see the death-deal ing gun muasles 200 or 200 yards In front of them.

FRISCO BRIDGE OPENED TODAY Longest Bridge Over Water Gets First Auto Traffic SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12.—tfV Realizing a century's dream, the San Francisco bay bridge—world’s long* est over navigable water—presented its 8 1-4 mile length to the first automobile today. The time for the “go” signal was 12:30 p. m., (3:30 p. m., Eastern Standard Time), given amid the fanfare of the two metropolitan centers it links, San Francisco and Oakland, the din of ship whistles and saluting warships.

Merrlam on the Oakland side, and later on the San Francisco side, after the official party’s cross ing.

Behalf, division superintend' ent said a broken rail probably was responsible but added "We are not overlooking the possibility that the dispatcher might have been inform ed of the broken rail and failed to block the track in time to avert the wreck.
