INAUGURAL PLANS
MEET OBJECTIONS
Popular Demand for "Bigger
and Better" Celebration
Increases.

Popular demand for bigger and
better" inaugural celebration January
20 increased today. but there was no
indication President Roosevelt would
change his mind about preferring
simple ceremony.
The White House was besieged by
pleas for an Inauguration on a grand
scale, with parading. dancing and
other hourishes to climax the Presi-
dents overwhelming victory in the
recent election.
There was a feeling in some quar-
tiers, close to the President, that Mr..
Roosevelt might be persuaded to
accede to the wishes of his enthusi-
astic admirers, and every effort was
being made to convince the Presi-
dent he should do so.
That the Presidents idea of a sim.
pie inauguration does not preclude an
inaugural parade of some kind. was
evidenced today when he sent for
Waddy Wood, local architect, to con-
vey to him his ideas for a presiden-
tial reviewing stand in front of the
White House
While Mr.. Wood was hesitant to dis
cuss his talk with the President, he
indicated the President wants a re-
viewing stand and court of honor. Mr..
Wood indicated that the architecture
of the stand would be suggestive of
the early American architecture There
was some talk that the President would
like certain features of the Hermitage,
old home of Andrew jackson at
Nashville, Tenn, copied for this occa-
sion.
Democratic leaders say they are
being flooded with requests from all
parts of the country for an "appro-
pirate" celebration-in keeping with
returning prosperity. 1t is being
pointed out that the depression in
terferred with a major program Of
festivities for Mr.. Roosevelts first in
auguration.
Special Program Urged.
Moreover, advocates of a big cele-
bration are asserting. a special pro-
gram should be held to observe the
change in Inauguration day from
March to January 20 by constitu-
tional amendment. This will be the
first Inauguration on the new date.
President Roosevelt. it was said at
the White House today, is still hopeful
he can be inducted into Office for his
second term with dignified simplicity.
The President also was to confer
later with Malcolm S. McConihe,
Democratic national committeeman
for the District of Columbia, it was
reported.
Decision to Be Requested.
He will be asked to make a de-
cision as to the extent of the in
augural celebration before he leaves
for the South American conference.
Earlier the President had said he
would take up the matter of appoint
ing an Inaugural Committee chairman
after the Buenos Aires conference.
Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson.

mittee, has sailed for Europe on Red
Cross business and is not expected
back in this country until early in

The West family had just finished
dinner. There was a knock at the
kitchen door. West opened it to face
disheveled stranger who greeted him
with an appeal for food. Sympathet-
ically, West invited him in the kitchen
and told him to help himself to the
rest of the dinner, which incidentally,
included stable piece of tender
roast of beef
For a while West watched the man
eat. Ravenously he followed one
roast beef sandwich with another.
Before the mans appetite had been
fully satisfied West was called to the
telephone. The stranger was left
alone in the kitchen. A few minutes
later West returned. The man had
finished and was preparing to leave.
But at that particular moment, Vests
mother-in-law missed a wrist watch
she had left on the kitchen table.
The stranger had that guilty look,
but even then West did not place him
under suspicion. He thought the
watch had been mislaid. The man,
however, after several minutes of ex-

pocket, took out the watch and gave

business and government.
Our industries especially the util-
tiles, exercise some Of the functions
Of government. Government cannot
keep out of business according to any
simple formula. Cities find some OF
their traditional work slipping out Of
their hands, while other duties are
coming to them. Counties tend to be-
come obsolete units. Even State
boundaries may be impediments to
progress.
People Overflow Boundaries.
"Such arbitrary units Is cities,
counties and States will continue to
have their place. especially for ad-
ministrative convenience, but the life

tends to ignore these boundaries. just
as it tends to ignore the boundaries
between public and private business.
