Washington, Jan.5.\u2014A sense of historic decisions impending pervaded the Capital today for the opening of the new' United States Congress, i Questions of constitutional amendment, how far to go on neu-jtrality and whether to tighten up on I relief commanded more attention Trom the legislators than the organization formalities at noon.Outwardly all was serene.Congratulations greeted Representative Sam Rayburn, of Texas, at every turn, following his election to the Democratic floor leadership of the House of Representatives late yesterday.Representative William, B.Bank-head, Democrat, Alabama, again had a clear path to the speakership.The swearing in of the ninety-five new House members and sixteen newr Senators constituted almost the only immediate business.Because of the \u201clame duck\u20191 amendment, it was the first time in history that a new Congress was called together before the inauguration of the President.Heralding the second Roosevelt administration, it marked also the greatest majority in both houses attained by any party since the United States Civil War.Seventy-six of the ninety-six Senators and 332 of the 435 Representatives are Democrats.Locks guarded the electoral votes j certifying Mr.Roosevelt\u2019s re-eleet- Prophetic Scene In Kidnapping # I The most beautiful debutante married the most eligible bachelor to add a brilliant chapter to the romances of New York.Here they are after the wedding, beaming their satisfaction with the match\u2014Angier Biddle Duke, 2L and Priscilla St.George, 17, scions of two of United States\u2019 wealthiest families.They were married at the exclusive society colony, Tuxedo Park, N.Y., uniting the Duke tobacco fortune with the George F.Baker Wall Street millions.jion.These will be formally counted :at tomorrow\u2019s session, preliminary to the President\u2019s personal delivery of his annual message.What he will recommend was a subject of speculation.There were indications, however, that the budget message on Friday will contain more \u201csurprises\u201d than the one tomorrow.Some took this to foreshadow an attempt for a more closely balanced budget in the next fiscal year than has been predicted.Both Rayburn and Speaker Bank-head predicted pressure on Congress for assertion of federal authority over wages and hours by constitutional amendment, unless some other way is found.'
