; MESSAGES
OF PRESIDENT
PULLING
Precedent to Be Set
By Communications
To New Congress
BY EARL GOODWIN

With Congress meeting January
5, and Inauguration day on Jan
uary 20 for the first time, officials
are puzzling over how the Presi-
dent is planning to arrange the
three important public messages
due from him in connection with
these two dates.
Will his message on THE State of
the Union" which he is directed
to give to Congress by the Con-
stitution, include the keynote to
his second Administration policies
naturally expected from a Presi-
dent in his inaugural address?
Will he send a message to the new
Congress until after he delivers
his inaugural address January 20?
And when will he send the budget
with his important budget mes
sage?
Will Set Precedent
Whatever is done will be a pre-
cedent as this will be the first
time Congress has convened Jan
uary S; the first time inaugural
ceremonies have been held jan
uary 20; these changes, Of course,
are due to the lame duck"
amendment to the constitution
abolishing the short term of Con-
gress and bringing the President
into office sooner after election
than formerly.
President Roosevelt has given
no intimation of how he intends
to handle these three public mes
Sages which will be the text Of his
policies for his second admins
tration.
Had Governor Landon been
elected, the country would have
seen an odd situation. Congress
would have met January 5, with
Mr.. Roosevelt, an outgoing Presi-
dent in the White House.
Congress additionally meets, or
ganizes and sends a committee in
silk hats to the White House to
inform the President that Con-
gress is organized and ready to re-
ceive any messages the President
may wish to communicate. But
had Governor Landon been
elected, Congress would be invit-
ing a message from a President
who would be retiring within a
few days.
Problem to Solve
Congress will have to help solve
this problem the next time a
president is elected. With Mr..
Roosevelt's successor the issue pre-
sents itself.
The possibility is that the Presi-
dent will send his budget message
to Congress almost as soon as It
convenes. This would be the rea-
listic thing to do, as the Ways and
Means Committee Of the House
and the Appropriations Commit
tees are now even getting together
for preliminary work on the in
come and outgo.
A new way Of doing business
would be for Congress to go to
work on the budget, wait two
weeks for the inaugural and after
that receive a detailed message
from the President offering legis-
lative program. The Presidents
inaugural address for the second
term is expected to be brief and
philosophic expression on social
reforms initiated during the pres
ent term.

Decision Of King Group
To Be Barred After
Congress Meets

The site for Washington's mu-
nicipal airport will be selected by
the District Airport Commission
December Z.
Under the strict interpretations
Of the law, however, there will be
no public announcement as to
where the airport is located.
Senator William H. King CD
of Utah, today announced that he
had called meeting of the com.
mission for 2 o'clock, December 7,
to draw up its report. At that
time Gen. Oscar Westover, chief
of aeronautics of the U. S. Army,
will present the findings of the
commissions subcommittee and
the final selection will be made
on this report.
Surveyed All Sites
During the summer, General
Westover's subcommittee made an
exhaustive survey of all sites In
and near the District, suggested
as likely spots for locating a ml-
nicipal airport that Will ade"
quately care for the enormous
traffic attracted to the nations

In making his report General
WeStover was aided considerably
by previous survey made by the
National Capital Parks and Plan.
ming Commission. With the aid
of aerial photography this COM
mission had plated the topog.
ranhy of the District and adjoin-
ing States.
1t will be recalled that at the
conclusion of the planning COM
missions survey, this body picked
Gravelly Point as the most de-
sirable spot. General WeStover
has reported to Senator King that
although the planning commission
survey was Of great assistance, his
subcommittee had gone even fur
ther into the matter and would
be able to make a report on the

every site believed to be at all
feasible. The factor of safety
will be extremely important in
selection of the site.
Confidential Report
In any event it appears that
Gravelly Point will have a good
chance to be chosen. In favor of
this site, it is explained, is the
fact that provision can be made
there for landing sea planes as
well as land planes.
After the site is selected the
commission is ordered to make
a confidential report to the Fresi.
dent of the Senate and the
Speaker of the House, in event
Congress is in session, or to the
Secretary Of the Senate and the
clerk of the House in event Con.
gress is not in session.
Senator King, chairman Of the
commission, said today that he
had not made up his mind
whether to make the report i'm
mediately or wait until Congress
convenes January S. In either
case the report will not be made
public until either the Senate or
the House decides to reveal the
selection.

Says:

It's q lucky thing for Johnny
''Tarzan" WeiSSmuller that he
happened to pick out q naval
officer, instead Of POpeye the
SaiIOrman, to take a sock at
in that New York night club,
the other evening.
While it is reported that
Johnny had several aides in the
fracas, from the number of
stitches taken in his opponents
eye, Tarzan must have swung
from the floor instead Of his
usual limb.
You know, I can't really blame
the officer if he was surprised
at what happened. The Navy
thought the only TarZan they
had to worry about was that

Broadway Melody, l936'' Has Galaxy of
 Stars

So packed with entertainment is Broadway Melody of 1886" which is now showing at the Capitol Theatre, that it at once registers it's right to acclaim as the great est extravaganza yet to be made at Hollywood.
 Stars, story, music, dancing, all are present in satisfying and often thrilling form, so splendidly elab- crate is the picture and so skill fully is it fashioned.
 There is glorious comedy, and the story takes dramatic turns which set it above the usual vehicle of it's type The plot is superbly WOW en amid the gorgeously spectacular specialties, and the many song hits all fall naturally out of the stream ing action of the production.
 For players the cast has as it's top personality the gifted Jack Benny, now lending to the screen the brilliant talents that have made him a star of stage and the out standing genius of radio broadcast ing He handles a grand role per fectly, and he has the most ample and able support from noted per formers like Una Merkel, who rings the bell as a wise-cracking secre- tary; Robert Taylor, grand TO- mantle male lead, and others.
