Juneau’s Leading Department Store Whatdb(;fi:gre;s Important As What It Did By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Buréau, The Associated Press, Washington) The things the new congress did in its opening days were SO spec- tacular that little notice has been taken of the other side of the leg- islative pioture—represented by the things Congress refrained from do- ing. In many respects this negative aspect of events at the capitol is quite as notable as any other. It was significant also that the situ- ation was not complicated by the injection of issues foreign to the administration program.- - “When 1t assembled for its first meeting, this Congréess 'was an un- known quantity in far mere than the ordinary sense. It had been €lected under extraordinary cir- Bumstanoes 0f unrest; and 1t con- alned an almost unpregedented per entage of ‘new members. « In ihe big Democratic majorities of both Senate and House there were "a good matly rumblings of ing trouble. A rather sharp mservative-liberal 'division was growing up among the Democratic Senators, and the Democratic Rep- tatives were paihfully con- scious of the enmities ‘ehgendered By one of the bitterest speakership ntests In history. Tt wasno secret "that ‘some admin- istrative leaders were apprehensive that, while the new ‘Congress might Mr. s program, give him measures he ted, it would ‘be unwilling to N_op there. Different This Time | Ordinarily the beginning of a new session is characterized by -oon- fusion and temporary stagnation: Old and new members show up with brief cases packed with bills and resolutions, and hardly anyone knows which of these proposals may become, ‘within a few weeks, the chosen vehicle of important legis- lative action. TFhis - time, everyone seemed to - {rom the start that bills and resolutions—virtual- all of them—were werth no more the m-m were. wrmzn hwfluhonus,tom cpinage, t0 {rankly inflate the ¥,-40 -pay a dole, and to do|| Didn’t Do believable degree, the sponsors of these feasures sought nelther ac- tion nor ‘publicity. A few oratorical firecrackers were shot off here and there, but even in the Senate, with its unlimited debate, the delay was not great. Expecting No Miracles Of tourse the big' question mow is: "How long will it last? Mr. Roosévelt is enough of a poli- tician to expect no miracles. He told visttors during the early days of the special session that he un- derstood there weré limits to all things. One of his problems, after he startéd that swift ‘cycle of legis- lation, Was to Judge the proper moment and the proper method of stopping it. That will be his problem, too, in i future sessions. ‘In the end, Presi- | dents® and only in fim’ay what they do, and | in part by what they refrain from doing. ’ —— e SEVEN-POUND GIRL BORN ST.'ANN'S: SUNDAY mleNG A seven-pound baby girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. John M., Doyle ‘at 8 oclock Sunday morn-| ing at 8t.
