Brilliant bunting snapping in a March wind, scurrying crowds from the corners of the land, signalled today, the imminence of the big event of three days hence, but underneath this bustling exterior the men chosen by Franklin D. Roosevelt dug soberly into tough problems demanding urgent solution.

The major part of the new cabinet either was in "Washington? en route, or expected tomorrow. Those here were working fully as hard as though already in harness, to master details of the big departments in their charge, or to make final preparations for launching into official action. As they grasped their tasks, three objectives stood out as the most urgent: obtaining an international economic adjustment, principally on war debts, tariff and other trade barriers; striking a balance in the federal expenditures which for months and years now have' run way beyond income; and, active steps to quiet domestic financial difficulties such as bank troubles which have cropped up in various areas. There are midsummer deadlines action on the first two, but an enormous amount of preparatory work has been done on both. Plan Action Before June 15.

The president-to-be and his secretary of state, Oordell Hull, have conferred with the diplomats of Great Britain and France, a groundwork is laid for early negotiations with the British. Action is needed before the June 15 due date for next payments. The world economic conference with which the problem is much involved, is in the offing, Of the equally urgent -treasury balancing, the new, budget director, Lewis W. Douglas, has been hard at work with expert assistance, aiming at speed and real reduction of Speculation has spread on whether Mr. Roosevelt will wait until mid-April to call the inevitable special session.

It has to do its share for budget balancing before July '1 and, most observers agree, the sooner the better. i Must Stimulate Confidence. Stimulation of confidence is seen here as a national and world wide requirement and the capital is in real suspense for the inaugural ad dress of the new president and his first message to congress. ine pressure for relief, of all types, is largely directed at the one big question of debt.

The statement was signed by District Attorney Buron Fitts, William Widenham, foreman of the county grand jury; O. G. Law-ton, member of the grand jury, and Robert Stewart, chief deputy district attorney. APPROACHES i Recording Arrival Of March March came in like a lion, all right, but according to meteorological phenomena observable as February expired and March was born, it must have been a sea lion.

No other kind could have survived the deluge that occurred shortly after midnight. It was one of those nights that make those at home and in bed pull the blankets up close about their necks, and cause sailormen to commiserate "all the poor folk ashore on a night like this." It was such a night as develops leaks in roofs, sends smoke billowing down chimneys and plays hob with man-made plans for festivals, fairs and such like. To run true to form, the month will have to go out like a lamb; it's to be hoped the lamb won't have to swim. Of Milkmen Milk thieves are on the rampage in many parts of the city and suburbs these days, and milk delivery trucks have been later and later on recent mornings, making their rounds. One housewife, lying in wait for her milkman this morning, was told that on some of the routes the trucks have to make practically two deliveries, this being necessitated by the number of thefts reported after first rounds have been made.

Drivers of these trucks declare that if the milk thefts continue to increase, morning deliveries will have to be made long after daylight, or housewives will have to get up earlier to take in the morning pints and quarts before the milk purloin-' era get around. Putting Citizens On Notice Tampans are warned to hold their guilty consciences in check when they see a patrolman in tiniform approaching. It probably won't be necessary to "scram," as Tampa's finest has set out to make the annual Police Benefit Ball at the Davis Islands coliseum March 9 the record-breaking event of the year. Ticket sales are in the hands of a committee of the whole, with every member of the force expected to exchange the pasteboard slips for dollars. As to plans the police benefit association has contracted with "Sunny" Clapp, composer of "Girl of My Dreams," and his Sunshine band for mu- New Auto Tags Must Be Properly Displayed Motorists who have purchased rifiv tags but who insist on carrying them inside their automobiles to guard against tag thieves today were reminded that they are just as guilty of violating the la persowwrfco- have no-' tags-at all.

R. H. Hill, district inspector of the Motor Vehicle department, declared that all tags must 'be displayed as required in the statutes and that those who fail to do so will be called upon for explanations. Incidentally, Hill and Chief A. E.

Berry, of the county traffic police, this morning launched a tag drive that resulted in some twenty-five summonses for motorists who are still driving cars with last year's tags. Streetcars and Buses Get a Break One Tampa Electric company bus carried five employes of dif-' ferent. downtown filling stations to the Job early this morning, though the employes usually drive to work in their own cars. As each boarded the bus, his predecessors grinned and chorused "No license." One of the late travelers remarked to the other passengers, "Lizzie stays at home 'til I can scrape up enough to buy a (deleted) 1933 tag. Ma; be they won't start pinching 'em today, and then again, maybe they will.

Anyhow, here's one that isn't taking chances." So that one bus load included owners of five cars that are off the streets for awhile, anyhow. Former Doughboys Open Cum Ctarar Farfnru When the history of the current depression is written, men- tlon must be made of the score of members of the Ybor City American Legion post, who found themselves without jobs in their own cigar factories and promptly organized a factory of their own.

Details Unsettled. The details of this system, with the question of the creation of a county treasurer, or comptroller, or both, have not been definitely set tled, though the consensus was that even if.

it were necessary to create a new office at this time it would be economy to do so in order to put the system in effect. The meeting was in agreement on the necessity for cutting all costs allowed county officers for services 'rendered, such as constable, justices, and sheriff's costs, costs for recording documents in the circuit court clerk's office, etc. It was also agreed to prepare legislation eliminating the advertising of delinquent tax lists.
