|. Although keenly disappointed
over the decision Of the Inau-
gural Committee banning the Dis
trict National Guard, the Marine
Reserves and similar organiza-
tions from participation in the In
augural Day parade, officers Of
the citizen-soldier organizations
took it with a grin" and called
upon members of their command
to do likewise.
Col. John w. Oehmann, COM
manding officer of the militia,
said that, since it was the wish
Of President Roosevelt that pre-
vented the Guard from participa-
ting in the parade, the decision
should be respected.
Major Harvey L. Miller, of the
Fifth Battalion, Marine Reserves,
said We'll have to take it and
like it." He added that the deci-
sion already had hurt the morale
OF members of his command, since
only few days ago they virtually
were assured of a place in the line
of march.
Protests Are Expected
Meanwhile rumblings of protests
against the decision were heard
throughout the city. Arthur Clar-
endon Smith, president of the
Democratic League of the District,
termed the decision "regrettable"
and expressed the hope that Rear
Admiral Cary T. Grayson, general
chairman Of the inaugural COM
mittee, will change his mind and
let the citizen-soldiers participate.
But Admiral Grayson was
adament. He said the commit
tee decided to strictly adhere to
a two-hour time limit on the
parade. Inclusion of other than
military organizations in the line
of march would prolong the pa
rade and would open a wedge
for State organizations to seek
places in line, he said.
He reminded that four COM
panies Of Civilian Conservation
Corps workers and a detachment
of the National Youth Admins
tration were included in the pa
rade at the request Of President
Roosevelt.
GraySOn's Statement
Admiral Grayson issued the fol
lowing statement:
"In order that there might be
no accusation against the COM
mittee of discrimination to re-
tain the original form of the
parade, it was decided to limit it
to the regular military units, ex-
cepting only the governors Of

artist was summoned to Chairman
Grayson's office and asked how
long it would take to produce a
likeness of Vice President Garner.
Just "a hours later, the commit
tee had given its approval to the
Garner profile which Atchison
prepared overnight. On Christ
mas Eve the President expressed
his favor and the medallion was
en- route to New York for casting.
Three inches in diameter and
one-quarter of an inch thick, the
medal is said by experts to rival
the Paul Manship design of the
1888 inaugural medal. Two of the
medals will be struck in gold, one
for President Roosevelt and one
for Vice President Garner. One
thousand replicas in bronze will
be placed on sale at $3.50 each.

Artistic excellence, plus speed
under pressure, won Joseph A.
Atchison, Washington sculptor,
the honor of designing the Inau-
gural Medal for 1887, it was dis
closed today.
Lack of time after the return of
President Roosevelt had led to the
decision that no medal was to be
struck for this years ceremony.
Sculptor Atchison was so advised
when he submitted to the Inau-
gural Committee, December 18, a
plaster cast of a medallion he had
made from a photo of the Presi-
dent.
But the medallion had impressed

the committee on medals, and on

added:
"Tt may surprise some to know
that a general survey of Federal

less than S1,4OO a year existing
in the Federal pay scale. This
is not a living wage under the
present living conditions.
81 noticed that some of the
smaller groups are not strongly

lowest salaries. There are so
few of these and they are so
scattered that they do not have

Pleas for increased compensa

Citing the curtailed staff Of visit

an emergency measure, the execu-
tive committee Of the Instructive

budget reconsidered.

officials in turn have refused to
order the strikers out until Gen

Attitude Unchanged
After this conference, William

"The position of General
Motors remains the same"
Following a huddle with union
leaders, however, Governor Muir

hopes for an early settlement.
A few minutes before Dewey

to his first statement.

This session of Congress should
keep before it as polar star that
while we are not assuming to be
wholly conservative, we must be
in a great sense wholly conserv-
ing-both as to man and prop
erty.
Instead Of launching on tex
perimental legislation" or legisla-
tion that will involve us in re-
newed and multiplied conflict, un-
settling the country and fright
ening business; we should, first,
find what abuses, evils or con-
fusionS rest in the laws we
passed, touching their enforce
ments.
Where business feels 1t Is being
embarrassed let US find a method
to smooth out these awkward
places and reconcile all points to
union Of action between business
and the administration at Wash
ington.
Labor Legislation
In matters of labor legislation,
let us see that the useful features
in that legislation that has been
embarrassed in execution either
by the ruling of the Supreme
Court or the knowledge on the
part of labor of some unworkable
provision, as expressed in the law
that we ascertain where these
conflicts exist, then harmonic
by mutual concession and under
standing between labor and its
employers these differences.
This to the end that we may
place the law in situation Of imme-
diate administration.
In business and finance. let us
keep in view that the rise of busi.
ness must be encouraged, that
nothing be done that is unneces.
Sary to the immediate welfare Of
the country, nothing which may
obstruct the sure rising of the pres
ent new prosperity.
The maxim of this Congress
must be: All rapid action hv Slow
movement. We must give the
country time to adjust itself to
our legislation passed in the last
Congress. We must give the legis-
lation opportunity to be tried and
its virtues or its inconvenience
disclosed.
Opposes RepriSals
Above all else, we must invite
the country to realize that this
Congress has not started out to
make laws for all things merely
because it has an opportunity, but
that its purpose is to fix legisla-
ton to fit rising business, serve
the needs Of labor and do justice
to agriculture. But above all
else, no reprisals, and no retalia-
tions through legislation either for
political vengeance, personal pride
or party profits.
There must be an American Con.
gress Of construction for an ad-
vancing American people.
