SPECIAL SESSION OF CONGRESS
UNAVOIDABLE.
Developments in the present, lame duck, session
ot Congress makes it necessary for President Roose
velt to call a special session of the 73rd Congress
this Spring. He is said to be reconciled to that
eventuality and will be ready when it convenes, pre
sumably about the middle of April, to submit a com
prehensive program.
Due to the confusion following friction over Con
gressional efforts to balance the national budget,
Democratic House leaders prudently decided to forego
further work in that direction until President Roose
velt is inaugurated and the Congress that was se
lected with him can be assembled. That Congress
is pledged to certain specific actions but these pledges
are not technically binding on the preset t Congress.
