PRESIDENT TAKES OFFICE JAN. 2QTH; CONGRESS JAN. 5TH Inauguration Advanced by Norris Lame Duck Amend ment Capital Usually Cold, Drab First Month WASHINGTON (UP) The next president of the United Statea for the first time In hlbtory will be In nugurated In mid-winter January 20. Instead of March 4, aa a result of the Norrla "lame duck" amendment. Washington, despite Its southerly location, finds winter often grim. As a result a snowstorm beating down on the capital may be the inaugura tion greeting for President Rooaevplt. Four years ago Franklin D. Roose velt wu Inaugurated on the center tier of capltol steps on March 4. The day was hazy, chilly and windy. ' Term Cut Short Next year, as a result of an amend ment to the constitution sponsored by Sen. Qeorge Norris (Republican) Neb., the president must take his oath of office six weeks before any predecessor In January often a blustering, snowy month even as far south as the languid Potomac. Norrla sponsored the constitutional amendment In the belief that the "lame duck" congress In modern times was a relic of the pant, with Its slow transportation arrangements. Now with airplane and stream-lined train, he argued the will of the peo ple in a November election should re act on legislation with the beginning of the new year after the election. Congress Meets Jiinuiiry 0 Thus congress will meet a new congress on January 5 and the presi dent Inaugurated on January 20 for the first time. President Roosevelt therefore finds himself the first presl-, dent tn history with a term cut short, i One major hazard- to the inaug-1 uratlon has resulted from the Norrla amendment,, Previously a "lame duck" congress has met in January a con gress already organized to give offi cial benediction to the electoral col lego count. The new amendment provides that on January 6. one day after the new congress convenes, house and senate will sit in Joint session and give legal status to the electoral vo. However, the posslbllty has risen that the house an admixture of po litical af filiations may be unable to organize by that date. A strong bloc conceivably could delay election of a new speaker so that the joint session would be delayed. May Need New Law In that event a new law would have to be rushed through setting another date for verification of the electorial vote. This would be neces sary In event of the house falling to organize, If the president Is to take he oath on January 20. Inauguration day often has been a day of rough weather, straining the physical strength of government offi cials, particularly of Justices of su preme court who usually attend en mawe. March is blustery and danRerous In Washington. January la even more so. The captlal for several years past baa been susceptible to New England wintry weather. A spell of it in Jan uary could affect the glamour of in auguration' day. The drive from the White House to the capltol by the president conceivably could be through a driving blizzard. 40 et 8 Planning Dinner and Dance Southern Oregon voiture No. 165 of the 40 et 8 societe, honor organi zation of the American" Legion, will hold a dinner-dance at Ernie's Ca sino on the Rogue river, Friday, De cember 4, stated Grande Chef de Gare Lee GarJock today.
