Representative Holmes said the
message on the state Of the Union
might possibly be construed as q

might be asked did President Roose-

Points to Omissions.
(Mr. Roosevelt, in his discussion
of what he described as the neces-
sity of providing assurance to the

Congress yesterday: IF the secur-
ity of the individual citizen, or the
family, should become a subject of
national debate, the country knows
where I stand'D
Representative Clifford told the
House the Presidents speech was "a
remarkable message. in which there
is little to find fault" He then de-
clared:
I'VE find much fault with the
omissions We have noted. Nothing
of our weaknesses were pointed out,
as is customary in presidential mes
sages. Our weaknesses and necessi-
ties will be brought to us in driblets,
SO as to be less noticed
The determination of Congress to
win the war was SO predominant, he
told the House. that our President
dared make mention but triflingly of
social security.
Flood Of Criticism.
Representative Hoffman, Repub-
lican. of Michigan, interceded to
attack various administration labor
policies. Representative Crawford,
Republican, of Michigan took a copy
of the Presidents speech and criti-
cized various sections. One Repub-
lican member asked if Congress re-
membered what happened to the
Supreme Court under the New

Representative Clifford waved to
the Democratic side and declared:
Your leaders, who are supposed to
lead you. go TO the White House to
take orders, and come back and
drive you"
The administration Tennessee
Valley Authority policy also came
under attack and Representative
Otter, Republican. of Pennsyl-

to speak up in defense of the adj

awaited on suggestions to suspend

time restrictions Of ticket sales.
Joseph B. David. president Of the
Sugar Bowl, said the board did not
consider the question at its annual
meeting last night and that reports
that they would do so were without
foundation"
Duration suspension was suggested
by the States and the Item largely
because of travel restrictions.
Commenting today, William Meg
Keefe, sports editor of the Times
Picayune, said: Some feel that the
patriotic thing to do would be to
come out with announcement of
abandonment of the Sugar Bowl
game for the duration Of the war.
But why should an announcement
be made nearly a year ahead of
time?"

expected that this the the only
shipment which will be received
for some time.
