Criccieth, Wales, Jan. 20.-(UP)- Dame Margaret Lloyd George, wife of Britain's World War prime minister, died today before her hus- band, rushing to her bedside from the midlands, could reach here.
 The white-haired little Welshman, who was on his way here from Churt, Surrey, by automobile, ran into a snowdrift early Sunday. Physicians advised him to remain at Cur1.ugydruidion and it was believed he might not be able to attend the funeral.

REGISTRATION OF
 ALIENS DECIDED
Supreme Court Rules That It Is Concern of Govt.
 Not of States

Washington, Jan. 20 - (UP) - The supreme court ruled today that the registration of aliens is the con- cern of the federal government and not of the states.
 In a 6 to 3 decision the high court said that congress already had exercised it's authority in this field by the alien registration act of 1940, and that, therefore. the Pennsyl- vania alien registration law could not be enforced.
 The supreme court did not hold that the state would have been pow erless to enact legislation had the federal government failed to exert its authority in regard to alien reg iStration.
 The decision came on Pennsyl- vanias appeal from an adverse lower court action. The state law required aliens to register annually with the department of labor and industry and carry an Identification card to be shown to any police off Ger upon demand. The circuit court held the law invalid on the ground its invaded federal jurisdiction.
 Justice Hugo L. Black read the majority opinion. Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes and Justices Harlan F. Stone and James c. Mo Reynolds dissented. McReynolds was the only justice absent at todays session.

 Parade lines were forming near the capitol as he spoke. Fair but cold weather prevailed, in contrast to the heavy downpour in 1887 when he was inaugurated the Sec- ond time.
 He had been preceded into the oath taking ceremonies by Vice President Henry Agard Wallace, who was sworn in by his retiring predecessor John Nance Garner. The oath was administered to the President by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes.
 To Save America
 The president stated the objective of the third term is as one to save America and it's institutions from disruption from without. He said that is the cardinal objective of this era-sharply divergent from that of Washington's day when America had to be created and welded together and that of Linz coln's day when the task of the people was to preserve the republic from diruption from within.
 Speaking to a nation at peace but against the backdrop of world in. famed by war, MT. Roosevelt pro- claimed:
 "In the face of great perils never before encountered, our strong pdr- pose is to protect and perpctuate the integrity of democracy.
 For this we muster the spirit e America, and the faith of Amer ica."
 MT. Roosevelt made no specific reference to his pledge to convert America into the great arsenal to fabricate machines of war for ena- battled democracies everywhere in the world. Those points he preyi- ously had set forth in detail in his fireside chat of Dec. 29, and his message on the state of the union on Jan. 2.
 Instead he based his third inau- gural address on 8 defense of the Democratic principle.

President Bows His Head In Prayer Before Ceremony Of Inauguration
Asks Divine Guidance in World That Is Now
 Torn With War
BY T. F. REYNOLDS United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

Washington, Jan. 20 - (UP) - President Roosevelt bowed his head in historic St. Johns Episcopal church today to ask divine guidance for his third term that began at noon.
 In a world torn by war, MT. Roosevelt prayed for peace ill the 150-year-old church across Lafay- cite Square from the White House. He sat in pew 54, where President James Madison prayed in 1916.
 AS the president attended church at 10:40 a. m., thousands of spec tators already had gathered in the Capitol Plaza to see him take the oath and deliver his inaugural ad- dress. Grandstands filled slowly along the route of his procession to the Capitol, but the lawn back of the Capitol stands was jammed with men, women and children with blankets and extra clothing to pro tect them from the cold.
 Streets leading into Pennsylvania avenue-the Avenue of Presidents" since Thomas Jefferson became the first president to be inaugurated in Washington in 1801-were crowded with spectators hurrying to vantage points on the parade route. Police estimated that close to 100000 persons would see some part of the inaugural ceremonies.
 Crowds outside the church ap- plauded as the president, accom- panied by his wife, his 86-year-old mother and members of his family and official party, arrived for the services. A bright sun and crisp temperature made it an ideal inau- guration day.
 ROOsevelts Together
 The presidents car pulled up at the rear of the church where there was special ramp.
 The Roosevelt family came in a single party. The president bare headed despite the cold, waved a greeting to the cheering crowds.

 Virginia Gayda, writing in the Giornale DTtalia, said that "the planes used by the British in North Africa are partly American, while a large part of the trucks used by the British in the desert are American"
 Popolo D'Italia said the blitzkrleg of tbe spring of 1941 would far sur- pass anything seen last spring.

 Economic Phase
 The economic phase of the war became paramount here today as Dr. Karl Clodius and his 5 Ger man economic experts started a lo- day conference with an equal num- Der of Italian experts. It was said that the conference was of "mcmen- tous" importance and that one of its main results probably would be a great increase in the flow of raw materials from German occupied countries to Italian factories.
