the plan for royal villa on the out

would be needed to decorate its walls

ALL CIVILIAN UNITS
BARRED |NPARADE
Grayson Regrets Inaugural
Line Will Be Too Long
for Guards, Cadets.

All civilian marching units, such as
the District National Guard, the
Richmond Blues and the High School
Cadets. have been barred from jan
uary 20 inaugural parade. Rear Ad-
miral Cary T. Grayson announced to-
day.
The Inaugural Committee chair
man said this was done in keeping
with the wishes Of the President that
the parade lineup be limited primar-
fly to representatives of the regular
military establishments so the dura-
ton Of the parade could be held strict
ly to the planned two-hour limit.
Admiral Grayson said the decision
was reached with regret, but that the
Zine" simply had to be drawn some
where unless the parade grow to such
length I'VE would be marching all
night"
Exception Not Granted.
Last week Admiral Grayson said
he personally was sympathetic to in
sistent pleas that the District Ma
tional Guard and the Naval and Ma
rine Corps Reserves here be allowed
parade places. He said he hoped
an exception would be made in these
instances, but found it could not be
done.
He said the President had received
petitions for the inclusion of National
Guard units from many States and it
was found that the parade would be
entirely too long. 1t was by personal
wish Of the President that several
hundred from the c. c. c. and the
National Youth Administration are to
be included in the parade.
All Guard Units Out.
Virginia Congress members have
been requesting that the famous Rich
mond Blues, q National Guard organi-
zation, be admitted, but Admiral Gray
son said this had been denied, since
all Guard units had been eliminated.
100000 Pledges Assured.
Meanwhile, collection of the entire
guarantee fund of 100000 as pledge
for payment of bills for the inaugural
ceremonies was assured when Robert

ural Finance Committee, reported re-
ceipts to date totaling $91,515, only
