Looking Forward

From the White House last week came word that the President had signed a few bills passed by the dying Congress.* But mainly eyes were on the future:

P: His first meeting with his second son's third wife, sultry Cinemactress Faye Emerson.

P: His annual Christmas Eve fireside chat.

P: His fourteenth, 25-foot Christmas balsam from Berlin (N.Y.), sent to him each year by the New York State Conservation Department.

P: His precedent shattering inauguration.

P: His second meeting with the other two-thirds of the Big Three, loudly called for last week by Winston Churchill and the press.

*Including the Social Security tax freeze (TIME, Dec. 18). Franklin Roosevelt rapped Congress over the knuckles for making him take this defeat, promised to ask for a complete overhauling of Social Security in 1945.
