New DeaI Seeks Harmony
aEs Election Yedr Meet

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. UP)-
The New Deal administration in
1icates today it would attempt to
steer the newly re-convened con-
gress. away from controversial is
sues, but anti-NeW Deal legislators
were expected to resist all attempts
to ignore controversy.
The standout political question as
congress meets is whether the pres
ident will take advantage of his
strategic strength to seek a third
term for himself or soon fix upon
one or more alternate nominees who
would be satisfactory to him and
whom he could energetically sup
port in this years presidential cam
paign. 1t is quite likely that he has
not made up his mind on those
questions.
But a shift of administration
legislative policy aw&y from contro-
versial issues and new reform pro-
posals would encourage those DEM
ocrats who are plugging for unity
in an election year. There is no
indication, however-despite a song
of seasonal greetings = that Mr.
Roosevelt and Garner will be poll
