The city heads recently named
Joseph c. McGarraghy. local Re-
publican leader, and Melvin D..
Hildreth, local Democratic leader,

except reserve the National Guard
Armory for a ball and inquire
about hotel and Office space for
the committee.

pected Mr.. Summerfield to ap-
point the Inaugural Committee
chairman in the near future.

tails of the downtown celebra-
ton. A joint committee of the
