done so.
This means that the nations in

TO PRESS FOR A CHANGE
IN INAUGURATION DATE
Representative Smith of Maryland
Wants Washington Citizens
Present at dearing.

Assurances that he intended to push
his bill to establish an inquiry into the
desirability of change of the inaugural
date were given today by Representative
Frank Q. Smith of Maryland. Meantime
it has been stated by Mr.. Smith that he
hopes to have members of the Board of
Trade and Chamber of Commerce and
other representative bodies present at
the hearing on the bill when it is held
before the House committee on election
of the President, Vice President and
representatives.
AS now written the bill provides for
three members of the proposed inquiry
commission to be appointed by the Speak
CT Of the House. three by the President of
the Senate and a seventh member to he
appointed by the first six. Representative
Smith said yesterday his original infen-
tion that the houses of Congress
would choose three from each side OF
the Capitol and that the senators and
representatives thus chosen could select
a seventh man who could be an official
of the government or not. just they
saw best.
However. said Mr.. Smith. 1t has
occurred to me later that perhaps 1t
might be best not to have congressman
on the commission. or it might be better
to have mixed commission. These things
can be talked of when we have a hear
ing. and can be settled by the COM
mittee.''
