Calendar

Franklin Roosevelt worked away on his timetable last week, trying to anticipate the future. His main object, like any citizen's trying to figure out a household budget, was not to be taken by surprise. Some of the important dates on his calendar of events ahead, ringed in red: > April 19: Anglo-American conference on refugees starts in Bermuda.

> April 26: The six-year-old Guffey Coal Act, which outlawed price-cutting on bituminous coal, expires.

> April 27 : The United Nations monetary conference opens in Washington.

> May 1: Date of the present deadline on United Mine Workers wage demands.

> May 18: The United Nations postwar food conference opens in Hot Springs, Va.

> June 12: The nine-year-old Reciprocal Trade Act expires.

>June 30: The President's power to devalue the dollar expires.

These are the fixed dates; some, or all, may be preceded by explosions in Congress. Many other matters will engage the President's attention. Franklin Roosevelt may have to remake up his mind on national service legislation, may have to prod Congress for a tax bill.

But the red-letter days that history has in store are unfixed and all may come in the next 90 days. When will the President meet Stalin? What will be the date of Rommel's Dunkirk? When will the Allied invasion of Europe begin?
