again planning an Alaska trip next

trip and that the legislative situa-
ton and internal conditions will not
interfere. While prospects for the
trip are brighter than at any other
previous time since he has expressed
the wish to make an Alaskan trip,
go many contingencies may arise to
mar the plans that the President
has made no official announcement.
However it is expected an an
nouncement will be made after the
close of the present session of Con-
gress on March 4 Matters are pro-
crossing now so satisfactorily in
Congress there is no reason to be-
lieve an extra session will be called,
