Be Sworn Into Office in Midwinter.

By United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 5—Frank- - lin D. Roosevelt, the next President * of the United States will be inau- - gurated in mid-winter for the first time in history—Jan. 20, instead of March 4, as a result of the Norris “lame duck” amendment. Four years ago he was inaugurated on the center tier of Capitol steps on March 4. The day was hazy,

Norris sponsored the constitu- |

. tional amendment in the belief that = the “lame duck” Congress in modern times was a relic of the past, with its slow transportation arrangements, Now with airplane and streamlined train, he argued the will of the people in a November election should react on legislation with the beginning of the new year after the

Congress Meets Jan. 5

Thus Congress will meet—a new Congress—on Jan. 5, and a President be inaugurated on Jan. 20 for the first time. President Roosevelt therefore finds himself the first President in history with a term cut short. One major hazard to the inauguration has resulted from the Norris amendment. Previously a “lame duck” Congress has met in January—a Congress already organized —to give official benediction to the electoral college count. The new amendment provides that on Jan. 6, one day. after the new Congress convenes, House and Senate will sit in joint session and give. legal status to the electoral vote. Inauguration day often has been

Landon in Indiana was approximately 55,000 than the margin by which he defeated Herbert Hoover in the state four years ago In 1932, "Gov.

Increase House Seats

President Roosevelt and Lieut. Gov, Townsend carried into office

Landon retained his hold on six of 10 counties carried by Mr. Hoover four years ago. They were Wabash, Lawrence, Hamilton, Hendricks, Porter and Rush. The other four which the Republicans carried in 1932 swung into the Democratic column. They were Union, Henry, Delaware and Randolph.
