FDR Not To Address
Congress In Person

washington January 10. - (UP)
- The White House announced to-
day that President Roosevelt will
not deliver his State Of the Union
message to Congress in person to-
morrow, but will make 30 minute
radio address tomorrow night CIV
ing a briefed version Of the message
which will go to the Capitol at noon.
The broadcast will be from Q to
$50 p. m, EWT., tomorrow.
The Presidents physician, Rear
Admiral Ross T. McIntire. saw the
Chief Executive this morning and
asked him not to go before Con-
gress in person tomorrow. McIn-
tire sought to avoid a possible re-
currence Of the last case of grippe
from which Mr.. Roosevelt has been
suffering, although he now Is Writ
ually recovered.
The change In plans was an
nounced by the White House about
an hour before the first meeting OF
the 18th Congress second session
was called to order.
White House Secretary Stephen
T. Early said the annual budget
message, calling for appropriation of
huge sums to finance stepped-up
offensive warfare. will go to Con-
gress on Thursday.
Abandoning his practice Of discuss
ing the budget privately with re-
porters the day before 1t goes to
Congress, Mr.. Roosevelt decided
that this year the budget seminar"
will be conducted by Budget Director
Harold Smith and Assistant Budget
Director Wayne Coy.
Early said the Presidents address
tomorrow night will be essentially
similar to the message to Congress
early in the day, but in briefer form.
Meanwhile, the Chief Executive
arranged to confer this afternoon

Poles Study
Red Offer
NEA Telephoto.

London, Jan. 10 - (U.P.) - The
Polish exile government was re-
ported to be studying an unofficial
Russian proposal to compromise
their border dispute by accepting
the so-called "Curzon line" Of 1919
with some notifications as Poland's
eastern frontier.
The proposal, the first advanced
by Russia in any form since the So
viets broke of relations with Po-
land last April IS. will be presented
formally by Moscow II the Poles
agree even to accept it as basis
for further negotiations, informants
said.
The border dispute was brought
to the fore by the Red Army's first
penetration of the sections Of East
ern Poland occupied by Russia in
1889 in agreement with Germany.
Both the United States and Britain
were known to be most anxious to
see the most threatening rift among
the United Nations healed.
The diplomatic correspondent of
the London Sunday Observer said
the Russians submitted the proposal
to the Poles some time previous TO
the Red Army'S crossing of the
former frontier Both American and
British official quarters approved
the proposal, the correspondent
said.
The proposed new border, follow
ing roughly that suggested by Bri-
tain's Lord Curzon In 1919 during
another Russian Polish border dis
pute, would run through Grodno to
Brest Litovsk, then another 125
miles south to a point just east of
