DEFICIENCY MEASURE
PASSED BY SENATE
Includes 100000 Item Enabling
District to Continue Program
of Relief.

The Senate this afternoon passed the
second deficiency appropriation bill
carrying the emergency item of $500, 900
to make sure the District Board of Pub
lie Welfare will be able to continue its
program of relief to needy Washing
tonians for the balance of this fiscal
year.
This fund, which still must be agreed
to by the House in conference, is to
supplement the S625,000 appropriated In
the first deficiency bill in January.
The Senate Appropriations Commit
tee added this additional amount to the
pending deficiency bill at the suggestion
Of Senators ON the Bingham subcom-
mittee handling District appropriations,
who were deeply impressed by the testi-
mony of Director of Public Welfare
George S. Wilson, when he described
the heavy demands being made upon
the existing appropriation in order to
give some aid to families in distress.
Mr.. Wilson demonstrated that, with
the number of needy persons seeking
relief on the increase, the welfare
board would have to make a sharp re-
duction in the amount of its weekly
allotments without this deficiency
item.

The special session of the new
Congress apparently will be called
early this month.
Returning to the Capitol today
after comforting with President
elect Roosevelt, Vice President
elect Garner indicated plans were
in the making for getting Con-
gress together much earlier than
had first been expected.
Leaders were comforting today
on the banking situation, and in

dealt with in the special session,
but just how was unrevealed.
Referred TO Roosevelt.
"Mr. Roosevelt has the information
and he can give it to you," Garner said
In answer to question as to whether
the special session would be called
about March Is.
Garner had advocated holding the
special session as quickly as possible.
He said, however, today chat he thought
Mr.. Roosevelt will give the members
elect time to get here"
Representative Byrns of Tennessee,
the Democratic floor leader in the next
House, today said he favored the spe-
cial session being called "as soon as
possible"
Favors Administration Program.
''The Roosevelt legislative program
should be rushed through as quickly as
possible" he said. Anything that 10
not pressing can go over to the regular
session. favor the special session
taking up only legislation proposed by
Mr.. Roosevelt.
THE country is looking to Roosevelt
for leadership and I think it would be
rank injustice to consider anything
other than his program. He should
have chance to submit his program
and place 1t into effect"

Plan to Sail From New

On the eve of turning over the man
agement Of the Government to Frank
lin D. Roosevelt and his own retire.
ment to private life, President Hoover
today is busily engaged as at any time
throughout his four years Is Chief
Executive.
He was at his office at the customary
early hour and throughout the fore
noon hardly had breathing spell.
Although all Of his household effects
have been carefully packed and are on
their way to the Hoover Palo Alto
home in California, the President has
not been sitting quietly watching the
hands Of the clock turn around while
he twiddles his thumbs awaiting the
time for him to leave.
On the contrary. he Is absorbed in
the Nations business and is disposing
Of all routine matters and everything
possible so as to leave a clean desk for
his successor.
Pressure Of official business, especially
regarding the business and financial
situation, has been such as to occupy
considerable of the Presidents time
during the past few days and to keep
him close to his desk. This also has
prevented him from turning his last
day in Office into a sort Of holiday
and handshaking period.
Change Not Explained.
So extraordinary has been the pres
sure of business that Mr.. Hoover de-
cided to abondon his plans to sail from
New York tomorrow night en- route to
his California home. In announcing
this at the White House, it was not
fully explained just why he considered
it expedient to make this iast-minute
alteration, but it is understood that
Mr.. Hoover, besides having many per-
sonal matters to straighten out, is de-
sirous CT remaining within calling dis
tance of Washington for the next week.
It has not been stated at what hotel
Mr.. Hoover will put up during his So

to consider important, but unspecified
banking legislation.
Measures in the Senate to deal with
the problem would allow postal savings
