Plans for Inaugural
Completed, Roosevelt
Considers Vacation

With plans for fourth-term
inaugural ceremonies completed and

day, President Roosevelt also will
have 3 vacation which is expected
to, be entirely of the record.
The President abandoned his war;
time "blackout" during the cam
paign and moved around without
any restraints on publicity. After
ward, the security code which pre-
cludes mention of the Presidents
travels, was re-invoked.
Asked about reports Of a vacation
yesterday. President Roosevelt told
newsmen that his plans were in a
state Of hux, and that he might go
North. East, South or West. He
added, graphically, that he might
surprise everybody.
He did not indicate what the sur
price might be, but there was no
intimation that the expected get
together OF the Big Three"-the
President, Prime Minister Churchill
and Marshal Stalin-was imminent.
Plans Completed ut Parley.
The plans for the inaugural cere-
monies were completed-except for
minor details-at' an early afternoon
conference the President had with
Senator Byrd, Democrat, Virginia,
chairman Of the Joint Congressional
Committee; Col. Edwin A. Halsey,
secretary of the Senate, and David
Lynn, Capitol architect.
After leaving the White House,
those officials said that attendance
at the induction of the President
and Vice President, on the south
portico of the White House, would
be limited to 1000 or 5000 persons,
including members of Congress and
their wives, the diplomatic corps
and others In a list to be prepared
by the White House. Invitations
will 60 out in the name Of the
Congressional Committee, however,
as they have in the past when the
ceremonies were held at the White
House.
The inaugural ofncials said also
that the President told them his
speech would require only four or
five minutes. Ordinarily half an
hour is set aside for delivery Of the
speech.
Cost Estimated at S2,5O0.
Congress appropriated $25,Ooo for
the ceremonies, but the simpler
ceremony devised by the President
will cost-according to the figures he
gave newsmen-less than $4,000.
Senator Byrd, who also is chairman
of the Economy Committee, smil-
ingly told reporters yesterday it
would be an economy inaugura-
ton" and the same point was
touched on after the conference in
a statement issued by the White
House. 1t said:
THE discrepancy between the
amount of money appropriated by
Congress for the inaugural cere-
monies and that suggested by the
President was clarified. The Presi-
dent stated that he had not dis
closed, to Senator Byrd his sugges-
ton of having the inaugural cere-
monies at the White House before
the time that Congress made the
usual appropriations for the cere-
monies on the east front of the
Capitol. Expenses for the cere-
monies at the White House will be
less than if they had been held at
the Capitol and the President stated
that he was glad to join In a pro-
gram Of economy in governmental
expenses"

In the marketplace. He chatted with
everybody-Tom, Dick and Harry. Thus
he heard the gossip of the town, listened
to the political chatter that never
slackened in Richmond, and so caught,
first hand, the drift of public senti-
ment, as is testified by Henry Howe
in Historical Collections of Virginia"
published in 1845.
Spread Laughter and Merriment.
He was as eager for a joke as any
wag, and many good stories are told
of how he spread laughter and merri-
ment. A newcomer to Richmond, to
whom Marshall had never been pointed
out, saw him lettering in the market
one day, shabbily dressed and unkempt,
and offered him small coin to carry
home for him a turkey he had just
bought. Marshall promptly Qocketed
the coin, tucked the turkey under his
arm and trudged along behind his en-
ployer. That incident sent Richmond
and Washington into gales Of laughter,
and the story, repeated in successive
generations, had become an American
classic, preserved in The Green Bag"
an entertaining magazine for lawyers
(18se-1914) edited by Horace w. Fuller.
Marshall was once (at leasD taken
for a butcher He called on the wife
of a relative who had never heard Of
his rustic manner and carelessness III
dress. The husband intended to sell
a calf and she was expecting a butcher
to make a deal When she saw Mar
shall approaching the house she sent
a servant to direct him to the stable
where the calf awaited inspection. That
anecdote also is preserved for posterity
in "The Green Bag"
1t was an early morning custom for
Marshall to jaunt to farm he owned
about four miles out of Richmond.
Usually he walked but when he was
carrying something heavy he rode.
Those he met along the way, unless they
knew him, thought he was one of the
poorer small planters of that vicinity.
He was extremely fond of children
and when he met one trudging along
the road, wosld pull the child onto
the horse with him and take, it to its
destination. Often he was seen riding
into Richmond with one child before
and another behind him--as reported
as a personal experience by DR.. Will
liam P. Palmer to DIR. J. Franklin
Jameson to Senator Beveridge-and
chronicled by him to future genera
tions.
