ROSETOURNAMENT SEEN BY 1,000,080 Sun Shines Benignly on Southern California Spectacle. By the Associated Press. PASADENA, Calif, January 2.— The folk and fauna of legend came to life in floral imagery yesterday and paraded before more than 1,000,000 persons. Kings and Princesses, the Vikings, Cinderella, the Fire Bird and Winged Pegasus, fashioned from Southern California flowers, moved along on 67 floats to the cheers of the multi- tudes, in Pasadena’s forty-sixth an- nual tournament of roses parade. The setting was in happy contrast to the rains which marred last year's parade. The sun shone benignly yesterday. There were 20 bands. Estimates of the crowd packed along the parade route ranged from 1,000,000 to 1,500,000. Harold Lloyd of the movies was grand marshal. He rode with bows, smiles and “helloes” in an automo- F St. at 11th A January bile decorated with yellow and red roses. . As queen of the tournament, Muriel Cowan, 17, rode on the fire bird and six comely lasses comprised her court. Santa Barbara’s float, depicting the fable of the “Jay and the Peacock,” was awarded the sweepstakes prize. Grand prize, the second highest award, went to the Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. for its image of a celestial dragon guarding the gates of fairy- land, while Long Beach took the theme prize. More than 6,000,000 freshly cut blossoms were used in decorating the huge, intricately fashioned floats. More than 150 persons, mostly elderly women, collapsed and re-~ quirelsd treatment in emergency hos- pitals. —_— OLDEST PAPER STOPS Munich Publication Suspended | After Three Ceaturies. MUNICH, Germany, January 2 (#)—The oldest German daily news- paper, the Muenchen - Augshurger Abendzeitung, ceased publication as the year ended. The paper, founded in 1609, first was printed at Augusburg under the title Avisa Relation Oder Zeitung. Since 1912 it has been published at Munich, its editorial policies being nationalistic. The management said it would carry on the literary and social sec- tions on a weekly basis, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1935.

Senate Democrats Re- name Leaders. (Continued From First Page.) likely that copies of his message will be available until an hour or two be- fore it is delivered. The selection of a Democratic floor leader for the House this afternoon was expected to be strongly contested, with Bankhead of Alabama, O’Connor and Mead of New York, McCormack of Massachusetts, Rankin of Missis- sippi and others in the race. McNary for G. O. P. So far as the Republicans are con- cerned, there appeared To doubt whatever that Senator McNary of Oregon would continue as minority leader. Representative Snell of New York today was chosen to continue as minority leader of the House. The Republicans of the Senate have to select an assistant leader in place of Senator Fess of Ohio, who failed of re-election last November. A meeting of the Senate Republi- cans has not yet been called by Sena- tor McNary. It is probable that a conference will not be held until after the President’s recommendations have been received. Then the Republicans will meet to consider what their course shall be. The second New Deal Congress will find itself confronted by many im- portant problems, in addition to that of relief for the unemployed and the destitute. ‘There has been talk of radical legislation dealing with the currency, but President Roosevelt is expected to halt inflation plans. The soldiers’ bonus presents an immediate and serious issue, with the President ranged against cash payment now, and probably majorities of large pro- portions in both House and Senate favoring such legislation. ‘The Black-Connery 30-hour work week bill, which has the backing of the American Federation of Labar, will be knocking at the door. Such a measure was passed by the Sepate in the last session, but the administra- tion side-tracked it in the House, holding that it. would not Be needed because the N. R. A. codes would meet the situation. With millions still un- employed, the pressuré for the 30- hour work bill, designed to spread the jobs around, will be strong. Pensions Up. ‘The Townsend-old-age pension plan, under which all persons 60 or more are to receive $200 a month, has its lobby here. The President’s plan for pensions, however, is expected to pre- vail, though what the details of his plan are have not been revealed. It will not provide any such sum as $200 & month, however. The administration has announced several times that legislation to make permanent the N. R. A. would be ad- vanced in the new Congress. Unless & bill is put through before next June, the national industrial recovery act dies. All kinds of conflicting state- ments have -been made about the N. R. A, many of them holding that it 1s on the toboggan. It scarcely seems likely, however, that the ad- ministration will abandon this par- ticular experiment. The World Court’ protocol and the St. Lawrence waterway treaty with Canada threaten to bob up again to worry the Senate. Proponents of both predict success, but both are expected to lead to hard fights. Many News Faces. ‘The new Congress brings many new faces ‘o Washington; more than a hundred new merbers of the iouse will be on hand to take the oath of office, and there has been an unusual turnover in the Senate, with nine Re- publican seats to be filled by Demo- crats. The Democrats have 322 out of 435 seats in the House, more than two-thirds, and the Republicans have 103, the Farmer-Laborites 3 and the Progressives 7 seats. In the Senate there will be 25 Republicans, including all brands, 69 Democrats, 1 Farmer- Labor and 1 Progressive. b ‘Congress will have plenty of volun- tary ‘advisers, outside of the adminis- tration. -The veterans organizations are here in-force to obtain the sol- Each week this page will appear in Wednesday Evening Star Each Merchant on this page offers a special value for Thursday only W.

By the Assoclated Press. The incoming Congress will be greeted by a new legislative password. Time was when “Approved by Budget Bureau” was the “open sesame” with which the administration unlocked the congressional doors to legislation car« rying authority for money spending. The new Congress will receive bills covering all subjects except direct and immediate appropriations bearing the words “Approved by Emergency Council.” Some departmental officials have expressed hope this might open up a way by which they could obtain offi- cial approval of legislation granting them authority to spend money after the proposals bad been turned down by the Budget Bureau. both the Emergency Council and the Budget Bureau base their recommen- dations on the disposition of the Presi- dent toward the legislation involved.
