MRS.ROOSEVELT
VIEWS OPENING
Of CONGRESS
PIacidIy Knits n Gallery
As House BuzzeS With
Emergency Activity
By DOROTHY DUCAs

With galleries jammed and a
huShed expectancy not unlike
war days lowering over the entire
membership, the House of Repre-
sentativeS today convened for the
special session Of the Seventy
third Congress.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
wife Of the President. sat in the
presidential gallery placidly knit
ting as the tedious business of
organizing the House went for
ward.
The overwhelming Democratic
membership Of 313 overflowed
into the Republican side as Clerk
South Trimble read the Presi-
dents proclamation for the spe-
cial session and called the roll.
Eyes Women Members
Three minutes before the House
was called to order Mrs. Roose-
velt entered the Presidents gal
lery, took off her coat and hat,
and Settled down to work."
At least it was a business-like
face the First Lady Of the Land
turned toward the mobile floor
where five women sat as Mem
bers of Congress.
The chaplain uttered a prayer
for "the fidelity and cooperation
of every true, faithful and loyal
citizen" be given the President.
Domestic Scene
Mrs. Roosevelt'S is the kind of
nature that keenly interests itself
in serious and intricate problems,
and the situation confronting the
Congress today is the gravest to
which she ever has lent her sharp
intelligence.
Accompanying her were her son,
James; her secretary, Miss Nancy
Cook; partner in Mrs. Roosevelt's
furniture business: Mrs. Henry
Morgenthau, wife of the new farm
board head, and Miss Marguerite
LELAND, the Presidents secretary.
While the roll was being called.
Mrs. Roosevelt wound yarn. One
of her friends held the skein on
two outstretched hands.
The Presidents wife wore a
sealskin coat, dark skirt and
white silk blouse, and unlike the
women members she wore no
gloves. AS soon as she had seated
herself she pulled out her knit
ting and something white and
wooly-which she began working
upon, only to stop when the chap
lain, the Rev. DR.. James Shera
Montgomery began:
"Our whole land shall break
forth into sunlight"
For it is deep sense of respon-
sibility that brings Mrs. Roose-
velt in person on the first of
many pilgrimages to the Capitol.
The Washington times., 1933-03-09

A conference last night was
attended by Robinson, Rainey,
Vice President Garner, and a
dozen members from the House
and Senate.
Following the conference, Rob-
inSon and Rainey issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"We have gone over a ten
tative draft of the proposed
banking bill it, some care.
ut Is the opinion of all in
the conference that the bill
will be passed through both
Houses at once, and that it
will result in the opening of
a large number of banks on
Friday"
House leaders are prepared to
rush the emergency bill through
that branch of Congress under
a suspension of rules, which
limits debate to 40 minutes.

ADOPTION
FACES CHANGE

Enactment Of a new child
adoption law is the objective Of
Miss Mildred Terrett, director Of
the Juvenile Protective Associa-
ton, who has called a meeting
of all those interested this after
noon at $3.50 o'clock at 1920 K
st. N. w.
The present statute has been
on the books 80 years. Miss Ter
rett points out, contending that
the law is inadequate and fails
to safeguard children born in Dis
trict.
DR.. H. G. Spaulding, of George
washington Uni versity Law
School, is now engaged in draft
ing the new law which will be
presented for consideration today.

Is Ready to Grant Roosevelt Wishes

Emergency measures to permit
the reopening of sound banks by
tomorrow, an unemployment re-
lief program, and drastic
economies in the conduct of the
Fedora. Government will be passed
by the Congress before today's
adjournment. according to Repre-
sentative Rainey 3D. of Illinois,
Democratic floor leader and
Speaker of the next House, and
Senator Robinson >DD of
Arkansas, Senate floor leader.
Chief among the plans for re-
establishing the sound banks of
the country is the amending of
the GlasS-Steagall bill and the
Federal Reserve act to allow for
the expansion of the currency.
Under existing law the bank
and Federal notes in circulation
may be increased by $2,840, ,0O0,-

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, March
9.-Carlton L. Tabler, 40. promi
nent Martinsburg merchant and
member of a well-known local
family, was found dead in the
basement of his store early today.
He had hanged himself. The
body was discovered several hours
later by clerks. Worry, brought
on by illness in his family. was
given as the reason for his act
by Acting Coroner J. D. Smith
who gave verdict of suicide.

The other is expected to be q
request for wide powers in reor-

partments and bureaus in the IN
terests Of national economy and

It is understood the President
will, at the same time, recommend
a $5,000,000,000 Federal bond is
sue to finance necessary public
works and relieve unemployment

cucumber the banking message
today with these recommends

$ll, 900, ,OOO,O 900 May Be in Circulation
In u. S. Soon Under Government Plan

Eleven billion dollars - about
,eQualing as much gold as there
Is in the world-may be in circu-
lation in the United States within
the next few weeks in the Gov
ernment's effort to get the finan-
cial structure once again on a
solid basis.
While the real objective of the
drive Is to bring about the nor
NAL functioning of banks, with
business conducted on the check
basis, currency apparently must
be expanded on sound lines to a
sufficient degree to take care of
the country's business before that
is possible.
With national scrip definitely
out Of the picture. according to
Secretary of the Treasury Woodin,
the plan apparently is to expand
Federal Reserve note circulation
and possibly national bank note
circulation.
ImpOunding Gold
Under existing law these notes
can be increased by $2,84O, 900, { 20,
still maintaining the 40 per cent
ratio Of gold against Federal Re-
serve notes and making no
change in the requirements for
national bank notes, which are
backed by Government bonds.
This would leave circulation be-
tween $1,20O,000,000 and $2,000,-
1000 short of what is believed
to be the requirement.
This could be secured by en-
pounding member bank gold, as

"Grave Responsibility"
Reminding the members Of the
grave responsibility" that rests
upon them as well as himself, he
declared that it has been found
impossible in five short days to
formulate measures to prevent
Q recurrence of "the evils of the
past" and added:
'ThiS does not, and should
not, however, justify any delay
in accomplishing this first STEP"
He concluded:
"At an early moment l shall
request Of the Congress two

as Of immediate urgency.

Roosevelt Plans Board to Review
Veteran Costs If Granted Authority

Mr.. Roosevelt plans to set up
y board to aid him in reviewing
veterans costs if Congress grants
The wide authority he will seek
for review of the $945 ,000, 900 an
nual outlay for veterans.
This was disclosed today by
advisers of the President, who
declared that the President
believes a reduction possibly
H150,000,000 to $200,000,000 in
veterans costs is necessary rs a
part Of the budget balancing
program.
Strong opposition is expected
from veteran1' supporters in Con-
greSS but leaders are generally
agreed to fight for the dictatorial
power sought
Second Message Near
The Presidents request for
power, according to present plans,
will be referred to committee for
consideration. A special message
to Congress tomorrow may outline
the Presidents proposals.
Points Of attack in reducing
veterans costs are said to include:
Elimination of disability allow
anceS except for total and
permanently disabled veterans,
to save $92,000,00O a year and
$1S,O00,000 to $16,000,00O in
hospital expenses.

ouS Government awards, now
underway at the direction of

have refused to accept deposits
under this ruling, feeling that it
would be better for all concerned
to wait until the expiration of
the holiday and the enactment
of emergency legislation.
Washington has met the finan-
cial crisis in better shape than
most of the country, local bank
ers pointed out. Thousands of
Government employees have been
paid in Treasury checks, which
have been cashed by banks, stores
and at the Treasury.
Public utilities, chain stores
and other business organizations
which take in cash have been
paying their employees in cash in
stead of the usual check, and
other concerns have paid partly
in cash and partly in vouchers
good after the banks are re-
opened.
For those who have been with
out funds during the three days
of the emergency, stores of all
kinds have been more liberal than
ever in extending credit, and
there has been little if any real
suffering caused by the holiday,
although there has been some in
convenience.
Merchants in all lines today
pointed out that the total of
business compares favorably with
that of normal times, and in
some instances even exceeds it.
Theaters in particular have re-
ported business as very good, in
some instances new attendance
records being set.

Calls For Wartime Coopera-
ton in Enactment Of
Relief Measures

A ringing appeal to Congress to
bury partisanship as it did during
the World War was made by
Speaker Henry T. Rainey, of Illi
nois, after he was inducted into
that office in the House today.
With an air of solemnity per
vading the entire House, the 72,
year-old veteran of nearly 80
years legislative experience
pleaded with Congress to throw
it's whole effort into bringing the
nation quickly out of its Difficult
ties.
Asks Complete Support
Recalling that Democrats and
Republicans stood shoulder-to-
shoulder during the war Rainey
said:
1--WE were able to win the war
and to win it quickly ON &C
count Of the great war measures
suggested by the Administration
and supported by the leadership
on both sides Of this house.
To-day we are engaged in an
other war-mOre serious in its
character and presenting great
er dangers to the republic. To-
day the Democratic party is
again in control and we are
going to call on the entire mem.
berShip of the House to support
the relief measures which will
again be suggested by Demo
cratic administration.
I'm the serious business which
Is ahead Of us We are already
assured chat back Of US are the
people of the entire United
States, exhibiting patience and
q fOrtitude in the midst of
their difficulties unparalleled in
the history of this or any other
nation.
No Danger of Reds
"NO danger of Communism
presents itself to us. FaSciSm
can never find q place here.
We are finding a way out Of
our present difficulties and God
grant we may find it quickly.
This great country of ours
is only undergoing now a re-
birth. The suffering we are
enduring now is we confidently
hope, merely the birth pains.
From the troubles of the pres
ent we will emerge a greater
and happier and mrOe prosper
GUS nation. We must proceed
now with the readjustmentS
necessary in order to enable us
to function in the new era which
now dawnS on us and all the
world.
"AIready the first cOnstruc-
tive steps have been taken to-
, ward a complete recovery. We
have been compelled to resort
to a war measure of the Wilson
administration which fOrtu-
natel7 for us, has never been
repealed measure most draS-
tic in character but it is the
first necessary step toward the
complete economic recovery
which, let us all hope, will come
in the not distant future"
