While the whole nation, and

President Roosevelt's second
term, speculation has already
started as to the man the Pres

the all-important job of chair.
man of the inaugural committee.
So far it is all speculation and
about the closest that White
House observers can get to fact
is that Admiral Cary GraySon,
chairman of the Red Cross and
chairman of the first Roosevelt
Inaugural Committee, will not be
available for the job this time.
Unless the Admirals plans

However, as indefinite as the
White House appears to be on the
appointment of an inaugural
chairman, the officials surround
