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.

per cent increase over last year.

terests Santa's pack will Introduce
moro than 1,000 new science bulMing,
transportation and housekeeping toys
ac well as a record crop of handcraft
sets. The predominance of toys re
producing peaceful arts and indus
tries and home equipment as con
trasted with European emphasis on
uniformed dolls was demonstrated at

held by "toy manufacturers here.
The G-men's law enforcement ac
tivities, cowboys, policemen and his
torical military events are the only
battle strategies featured and repre
sent less than 1 percent of the total

and even children's furniture, rbere
is a record number of dolls, dolls with
hair, and complete doll wardrobes.
Popular new children's books use

"The dominant interests of the
adult are Inevitably reflected by toy
land," said James L. Frl, managing
director of the. Toy association,
"Yuletide, 1939, marks 20 years of
development in the American toy in
dustry which has closely followed the
advancement in science, art, Industry
and general living standards reflected
in American life. Since the cave
man's days, toys have been designed
to look like grownup models: but
modern toys also aim to be purpose
ful, safe, durable and educational in
the fullest sense." ,
