precedent

of the first division of the parade, which
is to be composed of military units ex-
/ clusively. Brig. Gen. Herbert o. Will
liams will be in direct charge of the
Army units. Maj. Gen, Charles P.

= to be grand marshal of the entire
parade. with Brig. Gen. George S.
Simonds as his chief of staff. The first

from nearby posts, bluejacketS from
the navy yard and nearby naval reser-
vations, and Marines from Quantico.
Acting at the request of Chairman
I Grant of the inaugural committee, Col.
G. B. Robbins, Acting Secretary of War,
has authorized the use of the corridors
in the Munitions Building for the &C
commodation of National Guard units
of the various States which are to par
ticipate in the inaugural parade. The
j authorization follows the practice of
using public buildings in Washington
I: for similar purpose when large bodies
of civilian soldiers have come to the
Capital from all parts of the country
to march in presidential inaugurations.
The medals to be sold publicly as
mementos of. the inaugural, to be
smaller replicas of the originals to be
(, presented to the President-elect and
the Vice President-elect, are to be of
Bronze and are to be cast in the Phila-
delphia mint. Because of the need
for keeping the mint advised as to num-
Der needed, the inaugural committee
suggested last night that those wish
ing these replicaS, order them in adj
vance at inaugural headquarters in the
Willard Hotel.
Stands Near Completion.
The medals differ only slightly from
those to be given to Mr.. Hoover and
Mr.. Curtis. The diverse side has q
profile of Mr.. Hoover in bas-relief,
while the reverse Is the sculptor's con-
ception of outstanding achievements in
Mr.. Hoover's career. Henry K Bush
Brown is designer and modeler of both
medals.
The high stands at the south end
OF the Treasury Building, which are
to be sold through the Treasury, under
an arrangement reached with the in
augural committee, were nearing COM
pletion when the workmen stopped
work on them yesterday. No work has
been dope on the stands between Thir-
teenth ard Fourteenth streets, but
workmen proceeded rapidly yesterday
with the construction of the official
stand in front of the White House and
with the foundations for the Lafayette
Square stand.
