Even the elements, clothed in spring-like costume of warm, zephyrs and clear skies, outdid themselves to complete the holiday picture for the fortunate 85.1HI0 ticket holders and the gladiators. The west, twice disappointed by this sume stalwart Stanford team, predominated the picture in num bers, hoping ' against hope that this would be a Stanford year.

Here's betting you chuckled as you read It. For some reason, wicked weather In the OTHER FELLOW'S country always gives us a smug, self-satisfied feeling. HIS headline Is political ln- nsoly so: "Political Pot Boils Merrily in Both Camps; Smith and Borah In Limelight." As to Smith, a New York dls-1 patch says: "Alfred E. Smith to day characterized as FALSE what he said was a statement by a white house spokesman that 'at least once a year Mr. Smith has been In vited to pass either a night or ft week-end thie, but he never saw fit to accept even one of the In vitations.'

WASHINGTON, Jan. l.(AP) Some basic new deal legislation became eftective as the law of the land with the advent of the new year today, along with other fed eral laws and executive acts. This is the first taxable year for unemployment insurance levies under the social security act. Like wise new and higher tax schedules now; apply on gift3 and new gradu ated taxes on corporate incomes. Henceforth all suits against the government for alleged damages because of abrogation of the gold clause in federal contracts are bar red. Trade agreements with Canada " "null. t subject to the scru- tinv of congress, and the ugree- m on t with France which ends "dou ble taxation on United States firms doing business in that nation,'; al so became effective. The sociul security net calls for a one per cent tax this year on payrolls of all employers of eight or more persons, except in agri culture, domestic service, maritime commerce, public service, and non profit organizations. Children em ployed by parents and vice versa also are expected. The methods of collection are yet to he an nounced. The reciprocal trade agreements with Canada and Brazil provide mutuul concessions designed to 1 lower trade harriers on many pro ducts. Canada allows tariff cuts on 767 United States products and places others on the free list. The United States agrees to keep news ' print and -wood pulp on the free list, grants liquor rate cuts and , reductions on specified quantities of cattle, seed potatoes, lumber and other products. , The Brazilian agreement cuts tariffs on a large number of Unlt ! ed States manufactured products I in exchange for cuts on mongan ' ese ore and maintenance of free j entry for coffee. i The "double taxation" agreement i with France, officials estimate, will save American firms Slou.OOO.OOO j annually. the Democratic party.

From all America city, state and territory came reports of celebrations that blew the lid off local regulations and tore the rub ber bands from bankrolls. Troubles were forgotten extravagance was a watchword the New Year came in style. Merrymakers jammed New York's Times square. Shouts of revelry poured from hotels and night clubs. Mayor La Guardia's anti-noise ban was lifted, and in thousands of bars and "hot-spots" the "open all night" sign hung high. Even staid Philadelphia forgot Its traditional dignity in a night of noise and fun such as the Quaker city had not seen for years. George W. Willoilt, chamber of commerce secretary, estimated more than Sl.0UO.Uu0 was spent greeting 1936.
