shift their formation plans. even at the
| request of the Congressional inaugural
committee. Honored guests on the
stands at the east side of the Capitol,
| where Wilson and Marshall have their
| induction ceremonies. will have to see
the parade on the ''catch-as-you-can''
| basis.
Lieutenant Colonel Allen says the no
table guests on the Presidential stands
will not miss much of the~view, and
that there is no chance of changing the
parade formation to the east side. in
stead of the west side of the Capitol.
The parade organizers, while trying
to avoid discourtesy to the Congress
s.onal committee, feel that humanitarian n
motives shodld have precedence over
the wishes of the east side stands oc-
cupants. Aged war veterans and busi-
ness men. unaccustomed to marching.
will have almost too long a parade as it
is, declares Colonel Allen. Hence there
will be no shift from the order to form
in the side streets west Of the Capitol.
Must Rush To View Parade.
Military organizations and few of
the civic marchers will be in view of
the east side stands. but for the re-
mainder Of the parade, Congressman,
Senators, and high officials will have
