“PRESIDENT TO FIND RESPONSE ONHIL Answers to Questionnaire Indicate Roosevelt Policies to Be Backed. By the Associated Press. The New Congress bids fair to be es responsive to President Roose- velt's leadership as its two predeces- sors, on the basis of a cross-section of sentiment today among the mem- bers. Except on the relief question, those | who gave their views on several im- portant issues in response to a ques- tionnaire from the Associated Press sided overwhelmingly with the White House positions. Asked whether they favored Fed- eral or State jurisdiction over relief, 50 members stood by the present set- up, 49 wanted State control and 81 | were non-committal. Percentage on Policies. Here is the way the answers stacked up, in percentages applying to Con- | gress as a whole: Non- com- Agst. mittal. | 15 33 122 172 39.5 25 339 411 Surplus tax - Soctal security Reciprocal tariff 53.9 Wagner labor .. 51.7 Crop insurance __46.1 16 523 Farm tenant loans46.1 39 50 Decentralized rel'f.30.55 24.45 45 Most of those who refrained from giving Roosevelt supporters. Hence the sur- vey can be considered at least a ba- rometer of the probabilities on the questions covered. The questions bearing on existing laws were amang those discussed in detail between the parties in the pres- idential campaign. Significantly some foremost Democrats who stood out against Republican assaults on the tax and other laws plan themselves to seek amendments. The taxation of surpluses is un- popular with business, wrote one Con- gressman, “but unless something bet- ter is devised, it must stand.” 129 for Social Security. The social security act has 129 friends, six opponents and 45 non- committal among those who partici- pated in the poll. Virtually all the favorable replies agreed with the President and the Security Board that the law is only an imperfect beginning. their views were elected as| BY NINA CARTER TABB. R. AND MRS. WILLIAM ‘BEVERLEY MASON, Jr., are being congratulated on the birth of a fine son, born at Garfield Hospital on Saturday after- noon, December 12, at 6 o'clock. The baby will be named William Beverley Mason,. 3d. He is the grandson of Dr. and Mrs. William Beverley Mason of Washington, D. C., formerly of Vir- ginia. Dr. Mason came from Fau- quier County, near Marshall. Mrs. William Beverley Mason, jr., | was Miss Dorothy Willing Randolph | of Loudoun County. near Upperville and Middleburg. She is one of Vir- ginia’s loveliest girls and an outstand- ing horsewoman. Since & small child she has ridden sensationally in horse shows and the hunting field. ~Her | father, Dr. Archibald Cary Randolph, | has been master of Pledmont Fox | Hounds for a number of years. Mrs. | Mason’s great-grandfather, Col. Rich- ard Dulany of Welbourne, Loudour | County. founded and was first master lof Piedmont Hunt, America's first hunt, and her grandfather, Richard | Hunter Dulany of Grafton, was second master of the pack. Her mother, the 1 late Mrs. Terry Dulany Randolph, was considered one of the best horsewomen |and riders this country has ever ! known. So young Mrs. Mason comes | by her ability as & horsewoman and | rider naturally. It is a real pleasure | and thrill to see her during s hunt | take any fence or jump that comes | her way. William Beverley Mason, | jr.. father of the third addition of the name, is an architect in the firm of Porter & Lockie in Washington.

Mrs. Donald Ryerson of Chicago, who is visiting Mrs. Amory Perkins at Middleburg, was the first lady in at the kill and was presented with the “brush” by the master, Daniel C. Sands. Miss Laura Sprague, the sec- ong one in got the mask. It was & wonderful day for fox hunting and scenting conditions were of the best. Among those following were Mr. and Mrs., Lerner Harrisor of Cincinnal who are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Willlam Hulburt; Mr. and Mrs. Noble Judah of Chicago, Mrs. Choate Perkins of Boston, Mrs. Norman Torgue of Long Island, Mrs. Charles Sabin, Mrs. Harry Frost, Miss Willit Leache, Miss Bettina Belmont, Miss Eleanor Mac- kubin, Crompton Smith, Martin Knapp, William Hulburt, Randy Duf- fey and Col. Harry Whitfleld. Pledmont Fox Hounds met at the “Pot House” on Tuesday at 1 pm. The cross-roads out there was alive— vans unloading beautiful hunters, mo- tor cars arriving every minute filled with well dressed people and many riders hacking their mounts to the meet. It was a gay scene, indeed. Dr. A. C. Randolph, master, led the fleld through the Huntland gateway, down the drive, to cross a fleld and jump into the Camp Meeting woods, then jump out by Dishman’s cross- roads and turn into Irvin Beavers' farm. A fox was soon started, which ran to Mrs, Dishman's farm, crossed that place and went toward the creek; after & run of 15 minutes they killed on the bank of Beaver Dam, nesr the Union road. It was a fast and exciting run, although very short. Hounds were then cast again on Irvin Beavers' farm, another fox started and a short run enjoyed toward Purcellville be- fore hounds lost. They turned then and rode back across those big open fields, that are so good for galloping over, toward Upperville-M!ddleburg pike. Nothing else was started, and it was almost dark after this long ride, 50 hounds were taken in. The day was ideal for hunting, and the crowd en= joyed every minute of it; they “chat- ted” to each other as they rode along or checked on top of & hill. Mrs. Raymond Guest looked very smart, riding side saddle; she wore a henna- colored skirt, with a checked coat to match. It was Mrs. Guest's first fox hunt; she got along well and was among one of the last to pull out. She rode much of the time with Mrs. Harry Frost, who knows the country well. I noticed that most of the women hunting yesterday rode side saddles; they look better that way, too. One of the smartest and best turned- out ladies was Mrs. Jack Skinner. Others out were Mrs. Amory Perkins, Mrs. Donald Ryerson, Mrs. Robert A PARADISE FOR KIDDIES! PRETTY DOLLS! CUTE DOLLS! FUNNY DOLLS!

An eastern Senator declared for limited insurance with- out price level guarantees. The tendency on farm tenant loans was to advocate serious study before acting. Reports on both topics are being prepared for the President. Opinions on relief ranged between wide extremes.
