Monetary Measure Be
comes Law Today With
President’s Signature
WASHINGTON.— (AP) — The
monetary dissension quelled for
the time because of the Roosevelt
bill becoming law Tuesday after
noon with Presidential signature,
arguments for navy re-enforce
ment and ratification of the St.
Lawrence waterway pact with
Canada were loosened in house
and senate Tuesday.
Behind the realistic discussions
of these administration-supported
measures loomed more romantic
aspects of policy favored by
Roosevelt advisors, possibly being
put out as feelers before trying
the ideas out more fully. Subjects
under discussion included ways of
compelling old age insurance; of
getting the unemployed from reg
jons of industrial rut back to the
land, to grow their ‘vegetables,
reviviy the forests, work with
their hands; how to help small
home building and moderniza~
tion.
But that was all in the future,
how distant only time can tell.
Today the congressmen by and
large welcomed the chance to rec
ord themselves for k the Vinson
treaty navy bill, some presumably
glad to have it passed early SO,

Athens Beginning to Treat Jack Frost
With the Respect Becoming His Power
By JACK FLATAU
Athenians are showing Jack
Frost respect after the past two
days—even to the extent of calling
him John, for he not only played
havoc with weather records for
this year, but he proved the old
adage -thats “Familiarity
Breeds Contempt.” And there are
mighty few folks who aren‘t rath
er contemptuous about the cold.
With the thermometer reaching
a new low for this season yester
day with a recorded temperature
of 23 degrees, the mercury slipped
over night down as low as 9 de
grees at the waterworks, with a
maximum of 12 degrees recorded
in the downtown section, and a
minimum of 7%.
With steaming radiators, cars
puffed along all the streets of the
city, and neighbors trying to find
a more fortunate family whose
pipes had not frozen scurried
here and thére. Plumbers' tele
phones were kept busy, and the
plumbers themselves were con
stantly on the go trying to thaw
out frozen pipes and repair bro
ken ones. e Tl PR e

WASHING@TON.— (AP) — The

Tuesday to be marshalling forces
for a war on bootleggers, reported

The house judiciary committee
Tuesday, morning arranged to

Thesy agencies, now at odds as

known to be in agreement on an
urgent need for some form of im

In all, three measures have
been suggested.

No particular section of the
city was hit by the cold, but all
over town cars were frozen and
pipes burst. One garage reported
that not as many cars were
brought to them today as yester
day, explaining that while the
cold snap yesterday caught many
unprepared, those whose cars
didn't freeze then, prepared for
the cold last night.
People going along_ Oconee
street this morning were amazed
to discover a thin white covering
of ice over the creek which runs
into the Oconee river by the
bridge. Portions of the ice were
thick and of a real white color;
other parts were transparent and
thin, but a demarcating line of
white ice marked the point of
junction betweepn the river and the
creek.
And with the wind biting and
snapping around the corners and
around folks walking and riding
down-town, the sun set fire to’an
oily mop on the back porch of the
Pi Kafi)pa’ Alpha fraternity house
on Milledge avenue! The fire was
extinguished before damage to the
house was done.

THE PRESIDENT’S BIRTHPAY
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, President of the United
States, and universally conceded the most outstand
ing champion of the cause of humanity in modern
times, attains his fifty-second birthday today.
Scion of a family, that, for generations, has been
closely allied with the so-called “privileged’ classes,
his sympathies, as manifested in public life as well as
in his private capacity, have been inclined chiefly in
the opposite direction—in behalf of the under-privi
leged element of- society. With him, a new deal
for the “forgotten man’” has been a passion; where
former administrations have been concerned mainly
with extracting taxes, and in lending aid to big busi
ness in order that it might become even bigger, Mr.
Roosevelt has made it a function of government to as
sume responsibility for the welfare of its subjects
and especially those, who, through no fault of their
own, are unable to provide a subsistence for them
selves and their dependents.
Just how effectively the machinery of government
has been attuned to the banishment of the spectre of
poverty, that has stalked boldly through the length
and breadth of the land during the late depression,
needs no elaboration here. The sympathetic perspi
cacity ‘which he exhibited in his approach to the
problem, followed by the institution of remedial meas
ures that have dealt a staggering blow to the eco
nomic ills cf the country, is now history.
In view of all of which—-indeed, mueh more that
might be mentioned—it was but natural that a grate
ful and admiring constituency should resolve to ob
serve his birthday in a fashion that, it is believed,
will be more pleasing to him than any other manner
that could have been adopted, and thus offer con
crete evidence of a nation’s appreciation of his
humanitarian impulses.
The event will be signalized by no blare of trumpets,
nor will the celebration be invested with any sug
gestion of pompous d isplay; but from one end of the
country to the other, subscription dances will be given
to raise funds for enlarging the scope of the great
philanthropic work that has been established at
Warm Springs—an endeavor that, perhaps, lies
closer to the President’s heart than any other nen
governmental undertaking.
His iordinate compassion for helpless victims of
infantile paralysis is born of a sympathetic under
standing of their affliction, since it has been his mis
fortune to be a sufferer of the dread malady, and
ynothing appeals more to his generous nature than
an enterprise that is designed te expand the facilities
for administering to fellow sufferers the treatments
that proved so helpful to him.
The Roosevelt birthday balls contemplate raising
of $2,000,000, all of which will be expended at the
Warm Springs Foundation.
That Georgia should rally generously to such a
cause calls for no argument. That Athens shall sup
port the undertaking with the traditional vigor and
loyalty, that she always accorded philanhiopic ef
fort, should require no urging.
But, lest there be those super-timorous souls who
may hesitate because, perhaps, they are not masters
of the terpsichorean art, The Banner-Herald makes
this eleventh hour appeal that they nevertheless buy
a ticket to the Roosevelt ball at Woodruff Hall to
night, if for no other reason than to aid Athens in
her ambiticn to have the largest single ball in the
country, as a token of the esteem in which this city
holds our great President. It is of course desired that
you attend and participate in the festivities, but if
providentially hindered, you may at least invest two
dollars in a ticket with the consciousness of having
contributed that much toward the recovery of some
helpless cripple, and at the same time give fitting ex
pression of your admiration for the President on his
anniversary.
We congratulate President Roosevelt on attaining
his fifty-second birthday; as the world’s most notable
exponent of the cause of social justice, we felicitate
him, and, on this, his natal day, earnestly wish him
many happy returns.

The message, “All is well,” was
