The Nationwide celebration
with its focus here will COM
memorate establishment of the
first permanent English colony
in America-13 years before the
Pilgrims disembarked from the
Mayflower at Plymouth Rock
on May 13, 1907.
That was the date that Capt.
John Smith. the military leader,
and Capt. Christopher Newport,
the fleet commander, sailed three
tiny ships through Hampton
Roads. past the mouth of the bay
known to the Indians as Ches-
siopiock. and up the James River,
to land a party of stout-hearted
pioneers on jamestown Island.
This was the first permanent
colony. Twenty-three years ear
llier Sir Walter Raleigh had sent
an expedition to establish a coll
ony in the New World. After
landing in 1884, the expedition
returned to England. Then 10S
lcolonists landed at Roanoke Is
land, N. c., on July 81. 1885.
But, as every schoolboy knows,
when the British fleet returned
two years later. all that re-
mained of "The Lost Colony"
were the bones of one man and
the ruins Of the fort.
jamestown Island is being left
undisturbed by new construction
for the festival. The island, with
its ruins and restored buildings,
maintained by the Association
for the Preservation Of Virginia
Antiquities, will remain a place
to inspire meditation.
The historical trinity Of the
birth Of this nation-Jamestown
Williamsburg and Yorktown
all play leading roles in next
years celebration. All are within
% miles driving range on the
magnificent Colonial parkway
crossing this narrow peninsula
between the James and the YORK
Rivers.
In the haste to make rdady
for the influx, Colonial Williams
burg. Inc, the Rockefeller-spon-
Isored restorers of Williamsburg,
lis rushing completion Of a new
motel. Even then, only about
l 500 rooms will be available in
the immediate area.
The housing problem is being
attacked regionally. A Tourist
Placement Bureau Of the VIII
liamsburg Chamber OF Com
merce is serving as clearing
house for Accommodations. It is
Ico-ordinating hotel facilities in
cities within a 50-mile radius.
Including Richmond, Norfolk and
Virginia Beach. They're all
within a couple OF hours driving
time.
Money POurs In
Federal and state govern
ments. the Rockefellers, industry
and private groups are pouring
more than SIS million into the
peninsula to handle events at
all three Of the historical shrines.
OF this amount, 50 million is
being spent for roads. The In
terror Department is completing
the Colonial parkway which al
ready runs for IL miles between
Williamsburg and Yorktown. It
is being extended 10 jamestown
Island across a short causeway
connecting Glasshouse Point on
the mainland.
Virginia's main contribution Is
construction Of the festival build

permanent shrine after 1857.

Big Inaugural
Seen
By WILLIAM A. MILLEN

BY WILLIAM A. MILLEN
With less than a month to go
before Inauguration. unofiicial
estimates are that a total Of
nearly $40 million may be spent
here.
Ofdcials of the Greater Ma
tional Capital Committee Of the
Washington Board Of Trade un-
officially estimated that visitors
from out of the city will spend
from 81 to SIS million during
the event here.
Inaugural Committee Chair
man Robert v. Fleming has said
that "at least 100000 from out
fof town" will be here for the
festivities. But admittedly, he
was gazing in a crystal ball
There will be $4,000 seats for the
Inaugural Parade. but thousands
more will be standing along the
route to view the spectacle.
Mr.. Fleming has placed from
10000 to 81 million as his COM
'mittee's expenditures on the in
augural program.
Swearing-in on Jan. FL
Congress has appropriated
$215,000 for the use Of the Joint
Congressional Inaugural Com
mittee it has set up for the
main event-the actual public
swearing-in of President Eisen-
hover and Vice President Nixon
at the east front Of the Capitol
at noon on Monday, January 81.
The Defense Department will
spend considerable money in
bringing armed formes units to
Washington for the parade. But
an estimate of this sum is not
yet officially available.
It has been estimated that
the four major radio and tele-
vision networks will spend be-
tween 100000 and 100000 in
covering" the various events
that will be a feature Of the
inaugural ceremonies. Whether
the proceedings will be telecast
in color remains to be deter
mined by the networks.
Then there is the cost Of bring
ing to Washington the parade
units that will march, the cost
of their coStmes, of he various
floats and other ornamentation.
Souvenirs on Sale
The cost Of manufacturing
souvenirs that will be sold on the
streets Of Washington is another
item that will add UP in comput-
ing the overall bill.
Decorations that business
houses and others will erect for
the Inauguration will also go into
the cost Of festivities.
Money spent in motels. hotels.
rooming houses and private
visitors. The Railroad Commit
and / streets Sc: the Four
for the Inaugural.
Herbert c. Blunck, president
of the Hotel Association Of
Washington, gave 1t as his
horseback guess" yesterday that
those who stay at hotels may
spend $40 TO t24 q day.
The Inaugural Committee yes
terday announced six commit
tees are working on transporta-
ton problems for Washington
visitors. The Railroad commit
tee will provide sleeping accom-
modations for hundreds in rail-
road sleeping cars at these four
locations: lexington Yards, the
