Simplicity to mark inauguration Jan. 20
Washington (UP) –
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, back at the White House four more years as the nation’s First Lady, revealed today that simplicity will be the keynote of her husband’s fourth term inauguration Jan. 20.
She told a press conference:
Arrangements and functions for the second wartime inauguration will have to be somewhat different. The only large social function scheduled for Inauguration Day is the traditional afternoon reception. Other features… will be eliminated.
Asked if she were glad the President were reelected, Mrs. Roosevelt hesitated and then said:
Well – the next few years will be years of great opportunity and I suppose everyone should be glad of opportunity even though they may not be glad about responsibilities.

Columbus, Ohio (UP) –
Coroner John B. Gravis said today that he will return a formal verdict of suicide in the death of Dr. Thomas J. Midgley Jr., 55, inventor of the ethyl process of gasoline refining.
Dr. Midgley, president of the American Chemical Society and holder of many honors for discoveries in the chemistry field, was found strangled in his bed at his home last week by a rope on an apparatus he used to hoist himself from his bed into a wheelchair.
Dr. Midgley was stricken by infantile paralysis five years ago and was partially crippled.

En route across the country –
Well, here we are going to Boston to start our bond tour. Before we left, we heard a lot of scary stories about how crowded the train would be, but George and I are in a great big drawing room – where seven people have a drawing to see which one gets the berth.
The other six go to the club car to sleep. But it’s very hard to sleep there because it’s full of Republicans reading the “Business Opportunity” ads out loud.
Everyone said we wouldn’t be able to get food on the train. But so far, we haven’t missed a single meal. We just wire ahead to the next town and have a man stick a sandwich through the window.
