Crusade in America
Announced as Theme
OF Inaugural Parade

The inaugural parade will have
as its theme Crusade in Ameri-
ca" and. will not have a carnival
or circus atmosphere, Joseph c.
McGarraghy, chairman of the
Citizens Inaugural Committee,
said today.
Mr.. McGarraghy and Edward
Carr, chairman of the parade
subcommittee, announced this as
they revealed details of plans for
the gala event.
George P. Lamb, Washington
attorney, was named chairman of
the floats in the parade. Gushing
Daniel, Washington builder and
architect, will supervise the build
ing of all floats.
Against Circus.
Although we want the parade
to be a happy event." Mr.. Nc
Garraghy said. eve will not per-
NIT it to have a carnival or circus
atmosphere. Obviously it should
be nom commercial and void of
controversial themes"
Mr.. Carr said each State and
Territory will be allowed to enter
a float and a band in the parade.
The floats must be built to specifi-
cations set up by the Parade
Committee and must get final ap-
proval of the Inaugural Com
States to Depict Life.
Floats from States where Presi-
dent-elect Eisenhower lived will
depict that part of his life, Mr..
Lamb said. Floats from other
States will show the role they will
play in the crusade for peace and
prosperity.
All floats must be built in Wash
ington under the supervision of
Mr.. Daniel, Mr.. Lamb said. This
is to make sure they are accord
ing to specifications.
This close supervision was un-
dertaken, it was explained, to
avoid a breakdown of floats such
as occurred during the parade the
Democrats staged in 1949.

To Be Selected
Session Set Tuesday
To Pick Committee
To Contact Congress

Invitations have gone out to
$50 leading citizens of Washing
ton to attend a meeting that
will lead to the appointment Of
a committee to try to sell Con-
gress the proposed 1919 million
public works improvement plan.
A letter over the signature Of
Engineer Commissioner Bernard
L. Robinson was mailed earlier
in the week to representatives Of
a cross-section of local residents.
Gen. Robinson said the invita-
ton was prepared with the as
sistance of John A. Reilly, presi-
dent of the Second National
Bank. Mr.. Reilly recently was
named chairman of the commit
tee whose chief duty will be to
influence members of Congress to
support the massive plan that
Congress will be asked largely to
finance.
The meeting has been set for
|3 pm. Tuesday in the District

Will Seek Advice.
Gen. Robinson said the letters
went out to those known to have
an active interest in District af-
fairs. These citizens will first be
asked for advice on the compost
ton of a permanent committee
that will actually do the selling
job of getting Congress to help
provide the services required Of
a great city"
Mr.. Reilly said that this COM
mittee will ultimately have at
least $50 members. This group
will later be reduced to smaller
special committees whose task will
be to crystalline the thinking Of
individual members.
"Our objective" Mr.. Reilly add
ed, sis to present a united front
to Congress when we 60 to Capt.
tol Hill"
Among those invited were rep
resentatives of civic, business, re-
ligious, trade, veterans and labor
groups. Gen. Robinson empha-
sized, however. that the mailing
list limitations do not bar any
unlimited citizen from attending
the conference.
If we have missed any one
who may be interested, we will be
glad to have him attend" the
Commissioner said.
Priority on Legislation.
Mr.. Reilly said the first step
to be taken when the campaign
gets to Capitol Hill will be to OBJ
tain legislation authorizing the
works program, which encom-
passes needed construction in the
field of virtually every city gov
ernment agency.
Later, the chairman added, the
group would then return to ask
Congress to provide appropria-
tions. The financing plan. recon-.
Imended by the Citizens Advisory
ICommittee on Public Works, calls
upon the Federal Government to
grant about $40 million outright
and to lend, interest-free, an equal
amount to the city on a long-term
basis.
Mr.. Reilly emphasized that the
selling" committee, as well as
the public at large must realize
first that the works improvement
program is a package deal" that
shuld not be treated in piecemeal
fashion.

"The existence of discrimina-
