SENATE JOURNAL.
S. C. R. No. 4.
Senator Neal sent up the follow-
ing resolution:
Whereas, today is the fifty-second
birthday of Honorable Franklin D.
Roosevelt, President of the United
States, and his birthday is being cele-
brated throughout the length and
breadth of the land with charity
balls, the purpose of which is to
raise funds for the Warm Springs
Foundation for Crippled Children
with infantile paralysis, of which
Foundation President Roosevelt is
the Chairman; and
Whereas, the people of the Na-
tion are responding with unpre-
cedented alacrity to this celebration,
and their sympathies are being
aroused and rekindled to an aston-
ishing degree, not only in behalf of
the crippled children who will be af-
fected by the Warm Springs Founda-
tion, but the crippled and unfortu-
nate children in every state of the
Union where there are organizations
and agencies, either state-wide or
local, set up for the care, treatment
and hospitalization of the unfortu-
nate child; and
Whereas, the people of the State
of Texas and of the Nation at large
are to be congratulated and com-
mended for the readiness and will-
ingness with which they respond to
all features and phases of the Presi-
dent's program generally,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,
By the Senate of Texas, the House of
Representatives concurring, That
heartiest birthday greetings be ex-
tended to the President of the United
States on his fifty-second birthday,
and that the sincere hope be ex-
pressed that the cause of the crippled
child, so dear to his heart, be so im-
pressed upon the consciousness of
every man, woman and child in
America today as that the Warm
Springs Foundation may be more
generously endowed so that no child
crippled from infantile paralysis,
living or yet unborn, shall ever want
for attention.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,
That the Legislature of the State
of Texas extend its happy and un-qualified support to the President of
the United States in his further un-
dertakings, and that it congratulates
