T do Solemnly swear that l will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States, and will, to the best of my ability, pre- serve protect and defend the Con- stitution of the United States"
 Garner SwearS Wallace
 A few minutes, earlier, or even at approximately the same moment, Henry Agard Wallace will be taking the oath of office as Vice President. That oath will be administered to the former Secretary of Agriculture by John Nance Garner, whose second term as vice-President ended also on the stroke of noon.
 Cactus Jack" the Texan who differed with MT. Roosevelt on the third term issue so that he declined even to vote in last NoVember'S election, planned to slip away as soon as possible after the ceremony to board a train for the quiet of his Uvalde, Tex, home.
 But there is no quiet in prospect for the Presidential party and the thousands celebrating the 1naugura- ton. MT. Roosevelt expected to leave for the White House imme- diately after completing his inaug- ural address, where nearly 1000 of his closes friends and major aides in the New Deal prepared to meet for buffet luncheon at P. M.
 At 1:30 P. M, 280 fighting planes, vanguard of the tens of thousands now beginning to roll of assembly lines, begin demonstration over Pennsylvania Avenue, opening the inaugural parade. By 1:45 P. M, MT. Roosevelt and his party will be in the reviewing stand on Penn sylvania Avenue to witness the parade of Americas military might headed by army chief-of-staff Gen. eral George c. Marshall and the smartly clad cadet battalions from the military, naval and coast guard academies.
 Inaugural Tea at 5 O'Clock
 There will be no inaugural ball ill Washington. MT. Roosevelt asked ceremonies be as simple as possible in keeping with the gravity of the emergency which he has proclaimed and the harsh times he has predict ed for the future. But at P. M, the stately East Room of the White House and its corridor approaches will be damned again, as the Presi- dent and Mrs. Roosevelt receive another 1000 of their closet friends and supporters for an inaugural tea.
 All but one of the five Roosevelt children will see their father oper his third term. Of the five, only the eldest, James, was absent, assigned to duties in the Marine Corps i1 which he is on active service as captain.

Sions."
 The revelation of the conference of the two Axis leaders fololwed by few hours a statement by auth orized German sources that the two leaders had not yet met.
 There was no explanation as to why the denial was issued only to be followed almost immediately by confirmation of the fact of the meeting.
 The text of the information given to the foreign press read:
 "It is learned Hitler and Mussolini met today. An official communique may be expected"
 Great emphasis was placed here on the secrecy with which the Axis conference was held. There was no immediate announcement as to where Hitler and Mussolini met and just a few hours before the meet ing was revealed an official spokes- man had angrily denied all knowl- edge of any such conference.
 Information about a reported week end conference between Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini was suppressed today by a censorship so strict that private telephone calls between Rome and Berlin were for bidden.
 Italian officials had not permit ter any reference to the conference in news dispatches since Saturday when Reynolds Packard, United Press Rome manager, reported that MuSSolini and Hitler probably would meet within 24 hours, either at Munich or Salzburg, Germany to discuss, among other things, how to offset United States aid to Bri- tain.
 Italy Clamps Down
 Italy clamped down on her con- munications lines starting Sunday morning and a Nazi spokesman in Berlin, after a stony silence during the week end, denied categorically today that Hitler and Mussolin1 had conferred. He refused to comment on the possibility that they might confer soon. A dispatch from London quoted the British Broadcasting company that the official Italian radio station had been silent from $40 a. m. to 2:40 D. m. (EST Sunday andD that there had been no explanation for it when broadcasting was resumed British officials believed that the shutdown had been designed tc Stifle any reports of the Mussolini-

| 1lDer creek ellrOute 10 New YOrk C( On Jan. 20, powerful automo- bile will speed another man along | the banks of that creek-now buried beneath Constitution Ave- nue-to Capitol Hill to keep un- broken the span which measures the story of the United States of America.
 Not just a century and & half, but whole new world separates and yet paradoxically links-the first inauguration and the current one. In that span the oath has been repeated 45 times by men who pledged ito the best of my ability, preserve, protect and de- fend the Constitution of the United States ="
 The city of Washington did not even exist when the first President took the oath, yet General Wash ington travelled through what now is the city, for that was the route from Mount Vernon to New York.
 The United States government, born in l789 of travail, has endured and grown through a century and a half of struggle, weathering storms of domestic and foreign wars, de- pressions and panics, keeping un- broken the constitutional guarantees of a free people.
 Federal Treasury Barren
 In 1789 America, with the aid of France, had fought for and won its independence from England. The problems of the new government appeared almost overwhelming. Rich in natural resources, it was poor in the federal treasury.
 Its ragged Continental Army had been disbanded. It had no navy to defend its coast line stretching from Maine to the Carolinas. It lacked unity, for there still were many who held allegiance to King George of England.
 Thirty-one men have held the Presidency since Washington took the oath of office on April 30, 1789. None was more dramatic-in re- trospect-nor more trying than that first inauguration. Only a nation strong in spirit and body could have survived.
 Having borrowed S3,OO0 to de- fray expenses of his trip north ward, Washington left his Mount Vernon home on April 16 in car riage. The trip was a slow, but tri- umphant procession over the 300 miles of winding, muddy roads.
 Along the way he was feted and cheered. A party of friends met him shortly after he left Mount Vernon and escorted him to Alex andria, Va. There, a chronicle of the times relates. At Wise's Tav- ern a great dinner was served; patriotic toasts were numerous and speeches were not lacking"
 He crossed the Potomac at Georgetown and was met by a pro cession which, said writer of the time, twas greater than any tri- umphant Rome ever beheld." Late that day the party reached Balti- more and stopped at Grants Tav- ern. At 5:30 the next morning Washington continued his journey. | Rode White Horse
 At Wilmington, Del, late that day he again was feted and a delega- ton appointed to accompany him

of the land.
 But it is not enough to achieve these purposes alone. It is not enough to clothe and feed the body of this nation, and instruct and inform its mind. For there is also the spirit, and of the three, the greatest is the spirit.
 Without the body and the mind, as all men know, the nation could not live.
 But if the spirit of America were killed, even though the nations body and mind, constricted in an alien world, lived oil, the America we know would have periShed.
 That spirit-that faith-speaks to us in our daily lives in ways often unnoticed, because they seem so obvious. It speaks to us here in the capital of the nation. It speaks to us through the pro- cesses of governing in the soverin- ties of forty eight states. It speaks to us in our counties, in our ci- ties, in our towns, and in our vil- lages. It speaks to us from the other nations of the hemisphere, and from those across the seas the. enslaved, as well as the free. Sometimes we fail to hear or heed these voices of freedom because to us the privilege of our freedom is such an old, old story.
 The destiny of America was proclaimed in words of prophecy spoken by our first president in his first inaugural in 1789-words almost directed, it would seem, to this year of 1941: "The preserva-

to the Pennsylvania line. At Phila- deiphia a great. crowd turned out to greet him. The President was mounted on a magnificent white l horse.
 'Triumphal arches spanned the streets and decorations of ever greens and flags hid the fronts of the houses" says an account of the event. '"The boats on the river were bedecked with gayest colors, and everywhere there were eulogistic and patriotic mottos."
 The Philadelphia City Troop had arranged to accompany Washing ton to Trenton, N. J., but to this Washington made strenuous ob- jection because of the rain which was then pouring down." His re- ception at Trenton was "magnifi- cent"
 At the Trenton end of the bridge over which Washington crossed into New Jersey were a large number of richly dressed ladies, and immediately in front of them were their daughters, six of them, with baskets of flowers in their hands.
 When the general approached them the procession stopped while the ladies sang an ode composed for the occasion, and the daughters Strewed the hero's pathway with the most fragrant and beautiful flowers"
 Washington ate dinner at Samuel Henrys City Tavern and spent the third night of his journey at Prince ton with the Rev. Dr. John Wither- spoon. At 2 D. m. the next day, Wednesday, he boarded barge manned by 13 masters of vessels to go to New York.
 Boat Procession Gay
 "Long before the barge reached New York, it was met by hundreds of effervescent-spirited gentlemen in boats of various descriptions, :" says an account written at the time. "The weather was remark ably fine and the water was extra ordinarily smooth"
 Ten days later came the crown ing scene in the great drama of the New Worlds history, the inaugura- tion of the first President of the Republic. From early dawn crowds poured into New York and "every boarding house and tavern was crowded to overflowing."
 The ceremonies of the day were opened with discharge of artillery at Fort George. At g a. m. the church bells rang. At noon the mili- tary marched to the Presidential house on Cherry street followed by & reception committee.
 Half an hour later the procession proceeded to Federal Hall. The President-elect was in a state coach, drawn by four horses. The ceremony was delayed few min utes when 1t was found there was no Bible in the Federal Building. A messenger was hastily dispatched to Masonic lodge to obtain one

President RooSevelts Inaugural Address

Washington, Jan. 20 - O.P)- The full text of President Roose- velt's inaugural address is as fol- lows:
 On each national day of 1naug- uration since 1789, the people have renewed their sense of dedication to the United States.
 In Washingtons day the task of the people was to create and weld together a nation.
 In Lincolns day, the task of the people was to preserve that na- tion from disruption within.
 In this day, the task of the peo- pie is to save that nation and it's institutions from disruption from without.
 To us there has come time, in the midst of swift happenings, to pause for a moment and take stock = to recall what our place in history has been, and to re- discover what we are and what we may be. If we do not, we risk the real peril of isolation, the real peril of inaction.
 Lives of nations are determined not by the count of years, but by the lifetime of the human spirit. The life of a man is three-score years and ten; little more, lit- tie less. The life of nation is the fullness of the measure of its will to live.
 There are men who doubt this. There are men who believe that Democracy, as a form of govern ment and frame of life, is linn tied or measured by a kind of mystical and artificial fate-that, for some unexplained reason, ty- ranny and slavery have become the surging wave of the future and that freedom is an ebbing tide.
 But we Americans know that this is not true.
 Eight years ago, when the life of this republic seemed frozen by a fatalistic terror, we proved that this is not true. We were in the midst of Shock-but we acted. We

Hitler conference, and they doubt ed rumors that it might have been due to internal disturbances in Italy.
 Fascist Party to Meet
 A dispatch from Packard this morning said the national direc- torate of the Fiscist party had caleld a meeting for tomorrow under the presidency of the secretary gen. eral, Adelchi Serena. The direc- torate forms Fascist policy from its study of internal conditions.
 United Press correspondents in Berlin were forbidden to communi- cate with each other by telephone. The United Press continued receiv- ing wireles dispatches in New York from its Rome bureau but none mentioned the Hitler -Mussolinl conference and all European capitals reported they were out of tele- phone communication with Rome.

ton of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the Republi- can model of government are just ly considered deeply .. fin ally, staked on the experiment in- trusted to the hands of the Amer ican people"
 If you, and if we in this later day lose that sacred fire-if we let it be smothered with doubt and fear-then we shall reject the destiny which Washington strove so vialiantly and so triumphant ly to establish. The preservation of the spirit and faith of the na- ton does, and will, furnish the highest Justification of every sac- rifice that we may make in the cause of national defense.
 In the face of great perils never before encountered, our strong purpose is to protect and to per- petuate the integrity of demo- cracy.
 For this we muster the spirit of America, and the faith of America.
 We do not retreat. We are not content to stand still. AS Amer jeans, we go forward, in the serv ice of our country, by the will of God.

 The official announcement and a brief statement by the official DNB news agency did not disclose the place of the meeting.
 (Rone reported Saturday that the conference was expected to be held at Salzburg or Munich.)
 The conference, DNB said, was attended, as is customary, by the foreign ministers of Germany and Italy, Joachim Won Ribbentrop and Count Galeazzo Ciano.
 DNB said that "the situation was intensively discussed" with the re- suit that Hitler and Mussolini found themselves in full agreement on all of the issues before the two partners in the Axis.

the other.
In the event the finals are reached
by tomorrow night, both champion
ships will be decided on Sunday.
Originally it was planned to stage
the doubles title tilt tomorrow and
the singles on Sunday, but double
windup now is in order.
Representative Jennings Ran
dolph. a tennis enthusiast and men,
Der of Edgemoor, will present The
Star Cup to the singles winner IN
addition to prizes to the doubles
champions and runnerSup in both
singles and doubles.
Regardless of when play is re-
sumed, spectators are assured OF
tennis worthy of final-round COM
petition in any local tournament.
Welsh and Murphy, in fact, were
finalists in The Star tourney last
year and will be Semiflnal oppo-
nents if the latter gets by Chan
ming. Leavens is favored to whip
Lynch in the other semi, but Hughs
stock scared with his three-set vic
tory over David johnson on We'd
nesday and he can't be counted out
without a battle.
Welsh Leading Leavens.
The undeclared race between
Welsh and LeavenS to see which
could reach the finals in the easier
fashion found the defending champ
slightly in the lead today. Both
have advanced through the first
four rounds in straight sets, but
Welsh has dropped only seven
games in three matches while
Leavens has lost II in four. Nine
of those IL, however, were taken by
Georgetown University's Don Mar
tin, who extended the newcomer to
the limit on Wednesday when he
lost only by 8-6, 6-3.
For one doubles team yesterdays
rain might have provided the means
by which it still is in the tourna-
ment Mather was forced to leave
town Wednesday and he and Breese
would have been compelled to de-
fault to Welsh and Lynch, but now
they are expected to play as sched-
uled. II is the first time BreeSe
and Mather ever have paired, but
just the same they should make il
interesting for Barney and Hugh.

Friday the 18th appeared anxious
to hex The Stars tennis tournament
with more rain to leave Edgemoor
Clubs courts unfit for play today,
but if, by any chance, it was pos
sible to play the four scheduled
matches, tomorrow's half-holiday
card will be replete with sparkling
tennis.
Provided Dick Murphy and
Charley Charming can play their
uuarter-fnal singles match and the
three doubles contests can be run
off as scheduled, the semif1nal
brackets in both singles and doubles
will be filled.
If that stage is reached by night
fall. the two semifinal singles
matches would be played at 2:3O
o'clock tomorrow, with the doubles
semiS following.
Double Windup Planned.
