It recalls Suzannah Adams hosting the first White House party, Dolly Madison’s duties, Jefferson’s violin, Jackson’s orphan audience and snowball fight, and Santa visits. It notes annual greetings, the Christmas Eve address, and the presidentially lit national tree with a chime signal.

TVA probes eyeing Santa for TVA salary fixes
Washington dispatch reports the TVA probe may seek a special act of Congress to pay chief counsel Francis Biddle and engineer T A Panter near their full salaries after underpayment. Biddle would earn 20 000 annually and Panter 15 000, with the costs noted against government payrolls in a looming budget issue. A Rankin prediction says Senator Pope may become TVA director to fill the vacancy created by Dr Arthur Borgans removal.
