 IL is understood that several changes in tho Montgomery program as orig inally prupared were made by the Pres ident's Secretary. William Loeb. For one thing it was intended that com mites of representative Montgomery citizens should meet the Presidential party at Chehaw. This plan was chang ed because it was said that ;here would not be sufficient room on the Presidents train to accommodate delegation From Montgomery or any ether city.
 fIt vas hoped that the President Woaio make two addresses in Montgomery but his secretary advised the commit tee that he would make but one ad- dress here and that ito all of the peo- ple."
