NATIONAL 4730 ‘. 4 Officials Selected For Horse Show in - Rock Creek Park Classes Announced; Field of 200 Expected For Event Next Week Selection of officials for the bi- annual Rock Creek Park Bridle Path Horse Show, to be held a week from today at the Rock Creek Park Equitation Field, was announced to- day by Albert Clyde-Burton, chair- man of the show committee.

Although it was emphasized at the time that the meetings were purely personal and social, two days of consultations at Warm Springs between Mr. Roosevelt and Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King of Canada were believed to have dealt largely with problems which have arisen in the Western Hemisphere as a result of the northern Domin- fon being a participant in the European war while all other countries in this half of the world remain non-belligerents. Legislative Problems. On the purely domestic front is the more immediate task of usher- ing Congress through its final féw weeks, with “must” legislation to be disposed of and undesirable legisla- tion to be avoided. By returning tomorrow, the President will bé able to hold his usual Monday morning legislative conference with Vice President Garner, Speaker Bank- head, Senate Majority Leader Bark- ley and House Majority Leader Rayburn. Actually, the only piece of legisla- tion which at the present time comes in the “must” category is the Telief appropriation measure now before the House Appropriations Committee. With the administra- tion asking approximately $1,000,- 000,000 for this program, whatever fght develops is expected to center around Mr. Roosevelt's request for discretionary authority to use the funds in eight months rather than 12 if the need arises. On the defenside side, administra- tion pressure may bé brought against extensive amendments to either theé wage-hour law or to the National Labor Relations Act. It may bé ex- erted also against Senate acceptance of thé Logan-Walter bill to broaden judicial review of operations of the administrative agencies. And, the Election Problem. ‘The third problem is the politicsl one revolving around the presi- g THE SUNDAY ‘STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, dential election of next November. Thus far, Mr. Roosevelt has given no reliable hint of whether he in- tends or would even consent to be & candidate for a third term. During his 10 days in the South, he did announce that if Congress and foreign affairs permit he may make a 21-day trip to the West Coast with at least several speeches on “conservation” on the schedule. Timed to overlap the Republican National Convention, the contem- plated trip in the opinion of some is an indication that the President is at least Keeping himself “avail- able” to run again. Certainly by his speech of last Saturday night to the Young Demo- cratic Clubs of America he made it clear that he favors no turning back by the party from the broad liberal policies of the New Deal, and that in his opinion the party must name a pair of liberal candidates. And in the ferocity of his attack | upon Republican tactics thus far he | indicated that he does not intend to sit quietly by during the coming campaign months, regardless of who may be the nominees. Health Much Improved. On his departure from Warm Springs, Mr. Roosevelt told a crowd at the station that “I'll be back in November, I hope” but whether he intends to return as a retiring Pres- ident or a continuing one is en- tirely speculative. He habitually spends Thanksgiving at the Pine Mountain resort. In any event, the Democratic con- vention is less than three months | away and his own decision on | whether to make the race—since the | nomination appears to be his if he | wants it—will therefore come within | this period. That Mr. Robsevelt is returning in [ much improved health is attested | not only by his appearance but by the statements of his doctor, Rear Admiral Ross T. McIntire. Worn down by a case of grippe which hung on for the better part of two months, the President was pale and slightly under his normal weight when he reached Warm Springs. Benefiting by daily swims in the pools at the infantile paraly- sis foundation and by long drives in an open car under seven con- secutive days of warm sunshine, he gathered a fine coat of tan and enough weight to bring him back to his best poundage. On what is likely to be his only other absence from Washington before early June, Mr. Roosevelt was hoping to spend next week end in Hyde Park. Senator Connally fo Speak At Massing of Colors Senator Connally of Texas will speak at the 13th annual massing of the colors service to be held May. 19 in the open-air amphitheater on Washington Cathedral grounds.

Plane Comes Through After Lightning Strikes By the Associited Press. HELENA, Mont—Flight Capt. A. F. Olsen, flying many years, says the bolt of lightning that played with his plane near Helena recently was something new in his experi- ence. It was snowing, Capt. Olsen re- ported, and there was no warning of an electrical disturbance. “Sud- denly a bolt of lightning that seemed to come from nowhere lighted for the barest fraction of a second on the aileron of the right wing,” Capt. Olsen said. Except for a slight lurch the bolt caused the plane no distress. But when it landed at Billings a 4-inch hole had been burned in the fabric covering the aileron. Among the 21 passengers and crew of 3 on the ship the incident caused no serious alarm. SLIP COVERS . DURING OUR SPECIAL SALE There are numerous patterns to make your selection from. box pleated.
