Already arranged for this group
are rail transportation and bus
transfer service.
Recalling previous Inaugural
tions. Mr.. Curry and Mr.. Ellis
sadi there may be more groups
added to the transfer service ar
rangements and that many Of
them would arrange sightseeing
tours after arriving here.
Officials Of interstate buslines
here and adjoining areas re-
ported that no long-haul charter
bus trips had been reported. As
in previous inaugurals, they said
they expected heavy added traf-
fic, Washington bound, but that
probably it would follow the pre-
vious patterns and be by regular
scheduled operations. Extra Sec
tions would be used as necessi-
tated.
