and all through the fixed program
which covered more than five hours,
while there was the pOmp, ceremony
and spectacular display which newt.

president, the studied effort was to
keep the ceremonies in accord with
the best traditions of America-cere-
monies which in the main we're plan.
ned by George Washington more than
a century ago.

there was no dual ceremony to attend

did not fall in with the rush and con.
fusion of the dying hours of congress.
The ceremony began with the presi-
dents departure from the White
House for the capitol. That was fixed
by program for II o'clock. Just be.

hour of departure the congressional
committee in charge of the Inaugural
tiOn arrangements arrived.

House grounds to Pennsylvania ave-
nue., the marching ground Of inaugural

before, the official party headed to-
ward the. capitol.
