PARADE CONFLICT
GUARDED AGAINST
Inaugural Group Will Avoid
Interference With Plans of
President elect.

Arrangements have been made by the
parade group of the inaugural commit
tee to avoid possible conflict on March
4 with the convenience of the new
President and his party.
If Mr.. Hoover wishes to lunch at the
White House after his Inauguration,
abandoning the customary plan of
lunching at the Capitol, the parade
will be stopped at Fourteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue until courier
from the White House notifies Maj. Gen.
c. P. Summerall, parade marshal, that
the President and his party have taken
their places in the reviewing stand.
There is some doubt as to what Mr..
Hoover plans to DO, although it is Gus
tomary for the new President to take
the oath of Office and then lunch at the
Capitol, while the parade awaits his
presence before starting.
