Washington
(Special to the Nugget)
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Jan. 12
T: king up the First C:t;z.‘'n first,
Ihe country was startled to
learn that a boy walked into the
White House, passed the guards,
entered the President’s private
apartment, had a shat with him.
and strolled out, a method of ap
proach not to be recommended
and likely to end, under ordin
ary circumstances, in the hospital
or the hoosegow. Those planning
to ‘‘go to Washington and see the
President” had better select
some other procedure, and in
any event, the visit should not
be scheduled for a period begin
ning Feb. 18, since on that date
the Executive will leave for a
cruise in the Carribean Sea.
The President will have plenty
to do before the voyage begins,
and he has done considerable
during the few days that have
passed since Congress convened.
The message on the state of the
nation has become a part of the
archives. Its high points were an
eighty billion dollar outlay pro
gram. defense of the land, and
the preservation of democracy.
The budget followed. It sug
gested outlay for business recov
ery, an increase in the national
debt through a bond issue, the
provision of ample funds for re
lief, and the establishment of the
CCC, as a permanent institution.
A POLICEMAN S FAMILY PORTRAIT required some special photography, not In
a studio but at a police station where Officer Edward Cassidy, 49, finally took his eight children to
“see where dad works." Mr. Cassidy lias been on the Kansas City, Mo., police force 23 years: he holds
Ilelyn Louise, 4, in picture being taken by Pollard Magee, an assistant police photographer.

ENEMY ATTACK FROM T»H E REAR sharpens defense tacties of soldier at 'eft, as two
men at the Liverpool, New South Wales, garrison engage in non-military maneuvers.
There was no dismal word about
taxes, saving the hint that the
so-called “nuisance” levies might
be enlarged, and that three cents
was not too much to pay for the
mail transportation of a letter.
The major appointment from
the White House was the naming
of Mr. Frankfurter to the Su
premo Court. Though the selec
tion did not come as a surprise,
it was counter to a widely cir
culated rumor. It was believed
that the vacancy might be filled
from the West, a section of the
country that for a generation
has had little to say from the
Supreme Bench; but the recog
nized ability of Mr. Frankfurter
spoke loudly in his behalf, and
it is probable that his high re
gard for the New Deal at least
did not work toward keeping j
him out of office.
Congress jogged along through
its opening days without giving
much indication of a desire to
clip the wings of the Executive,
but the scissors came out at last,!
and a few feathers were short- i
ened. A sub-committee in the
House took a quarter of a billion
from a billion dollars request for
money to maintain the W P A,
both figures being in round num
bers only. Moreover, legislation
was proposed whereby the plac
ing of more than thirty thousand
relief office holders under the
Civil Service would be made im
possible. The speed with which
the sub-committee action was ad
vanced toward a more substan
tial status indicates that perhaps
the present Congress intends to
have its will to larger extent
than did the one which immed
iately preceded it.
The business likely to be before
Congress during the next week
or ten days includes amendments'
to the Wagner Labor Act mostly
brought forward by the Ameri
can Federation of Labor and
touching, in some instances, up
on the controversy between that
organization and the CIO. Na-1
tonal Defense is expected to pre
cipitate some sharp talk. Foreign |
Relations probably will cause:
entertaining strife. There is a.]
non-partisan adverse criticism of
what is referred to somewhat
loosely as ‘ our foreign policy.”
From a Democratic congressional
source comes the information j
that “there is too much talk
about what other nations are do-1
ing and not enough about our j
own domestic problems, which
include ten million unemployed.”
If one prefers Republican advice,
it can be offered in an equally
succinct form: “It seems to me
that if we would only take care
of our people at home, we’ll have
about all that we can do.”
LOST— Will party who took
hand knit gloves from man’s
parka pocket at Odd Fellows
hall Saturday night, return them
to Nugget Oflice—They are val
ued as a gift. No questions will
be asked.
