On1ttu fTcsS StdII Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Dec. II. - The
congress which convenes January 8
has caused banks and industry to
move toward defensive coalition
with the administration. But poll
tical straws indicate congress will
be less radical in action than bus
mess leaders have believed.
A survey of issues confronting
the 73rd congress suggests that on
most controversial legislation Pres
ident Roosevelt will be able to pre-
vent either the house or senate
from boiling to comparatively rad
ical programs.
In whatever form Mr. Roosevelt
finally submits his legislative pro-
gram. it will fall into five general
classifications:
/. Regular appropriation bills and
other routine legislation.
2. Emergency spending bills.
3. Social-security, industrial, lab
or and financial policies.
d. Taxation.
s. National defense
Expect Relief Dispute
The regular appropriations are
supply bills for the departments of
government and the agencies devel-
oped before emergency organiza-
tions were created to combat de-
preston.
Revision of NRA and other in
dustrial legislation, spending, So
cial-security and banking legisla-
ton will create the most controv-
ersy this winter. Embraced by these
general classifications are bills to
be sponsored by the administration
and programs which powerful
groups in and out of congress will
try to compel Mr.. Roosevelt to ac-
cept.
Spending includes initiation, hous-
ing, unemployment relief, the vet
Grams bonus, continuation of the
CCC and a, variety of policies
which require financing from the
treasury .-..
The decision of Mr. Roosevelt and
congress on spending, for instance,
will determine when and how the
budget shall be balanced That de-
cision will inform the adrninistra-
tion how it must continue to bor-
row to meet its deficit. When the
probable volume of new government
borrowing is known, the admins
tration will know the extent to
which it must obtain control over

Ruth Chatterton will be the
stellar attraction at the Alhambra
theater Sunday when she appears
in her latest First National pic
ture, journal of a Crime" which
is said to afford her the greatest
opportunity of her career to dis

The picture is based on pow
erful drama by the noted French
playwright, Jacques Deval, and
depicts the effect of a murder on
a woman of fine instincts and
delicate sensibilities who kills an
INSCRIPTIONS rival because she is
wrecking her home. Not that the
picture is purely a psychological
study by any means. for there is
plenty of action, beginning with
the Staying of a popular musical
star in a theater during rehearsal,
the chase and capture of a GRIM
inal in the flies, and winding up
with climax that is said to have
one of the most novel twists ever
conceived for the scpeen.
Miss Chatterton has the role of
the murderess who loves her hus-
band, a part played by Adolphe
Menjou, with such desperation
she can't bear to give him up for
another. Menjou, really in love
with his wife, but SO infatuated by
the star Of his musical show that
he is ready to break up his home,
eventually finds that love again
through one of the most unusual
incidents.
Claire Dodd has the role of the
home-wrecker who pays for il
