INAUGURATION CEREMONIES
On March S May Be Abandoned,

While no decision has been reached
officially there is very decided senti-
ment in all official Quarters to abandon
the public ceremonies of inauguration
on March and simply have the Presi-
dent take the oath of Office in the
White House on Sunday, March 4. The
army and navy reception at the White
House probably will be abandoned.
The officials who favored abandoning
the public ceremonies feel that with
the President facing such critical inter-
national affairs the good of the country
demands that he shall not be called
upon to participate in public functions.
