Eisenhower, Nixon Take
Public Oath for I'd Term

Continued From First Page
Nations affairs being played by
Vice President Nixon.
Neither the great burdens of
state nor the vexing problems
of domestic politics seemed to be
weighing heavily on President
Eisenhower's spirit today. how
ever. Obviously in top form. he
appeared to throw himself into
the occasion with huge enjoy
ment, responding with enthu-
siasm to the warmth Of the
audience.
The event was no less impress
sive for being purely ceremonial.
The actual swearing In had

White House the day before.
witnessed only by members of
the Eisenhower and Nixon fami-
lies, a few staff members and
specially invited friends.
Ceremony Closed
The reason for this annual
private oath taking, of course,
was that the official Inaugural
ton day, January 20. fell on
Sunday.
Still, ceremonial or not. there
was no question that so far as
the thousands of spectators were
concerned. the show today was
the real thing. To see it. many
had waited for hours through
the chilly morning. The crowd
pressed against barriers set up
around the open plaza below the
Capitol dome. tanning the park
we'll back toward the Supreme
Court Building and the Library
of Congress. The more athlet-
ically inclined climbed trees for
a better view. Those lucky
enough 10 nOlQ reserved seats IN
the plaza stands were all in their
places before the official opening
of the ceremonies at noon.
Officials Enter Stands
AS the hour approached, a file
of distinguished guests and Gov
eminent officials began emerg-
ing from the Capitol into the
large. white-painted grandstand
which served as the stage for
the inaugural ceremony. Spe-
cially constructed on the main
stairs leading to the East en-
trance of the Capitol. the dig
nataries stand consisted of open
bleachers, flanking a small,
balustraded structure reserved
for the presidential party. Only

Around the city yesterday,
celebrations got into high gear,
with receptions in hotels and
clubs.
At the Sheraton-Park Hotel,
some 1000 persons packed into
a Young Republicans affair.
Most of them adjourned to the
Statler for the Governors Re-
ception, where attendance was
estimated at about 5000.
Downtown streets developed
traffic jams, a sharp change
from the usual Sunday after
noon. Autos crept along the
Pennsylvania avenue NV. pa
rade route. Most of them had
District. Maryland and Virginia
tags. and the drivers were point
ing fingers this way and that,
doing guide duty for out-of-
town passengers.
Steady Stream of Autos
Thousands passed the White
House and it seemed most of
them carried cameras. A steady
stream of autos moved around
the Capitol as sight-seers took
a look at the focal point of to-
days events.
District water trucks Travelled
in conveys along the parade
route. flushing sand and ice off
the streets in preparation for
thousands of marching feet to-
day.
Bands struck up airs yester-
day, and marched around in
street clothes, rehearsing for the
uniformed show today. Boys and
girls hung from hotel windows,
shouting greetings and exchang-
ing brags and insults about their

Sional officials would emerge.
There was applause as Mrs.
Eisenhower, wearing mink coat
and a pale lavender hat descend
ed the stairs and took her place
at the right of the Presidents
stand next to her son and daugh-
ter-in-law, Maj. and Mrs. John
Eisenhower.
The Presidents arrival was
signaled by ruff1es and flourishes
from the band. followed by Hail

clapped. President Eisenhower,
smiling broadly. walked to the
front of the stand and waved to
the crowd. followed by a solemn

AS the band struck up 1.-THE
Stars and Stripes Forever" the
sun which had played hide and
seek with scudding clouds
throughout the morning, broke
through strongly lighting the
scene.
Elson Leads Prayer
The Rev. Edward r. Elson,
minister of the National Presby-
terrain Church which President
Eisenhower attends. pronounced
the invocation, praying for di-
vine guidance, protecting and
power for those chosen to lead
the ANTON in the coming years.

Negro contralto. sang the Star
Spangled Banner" including the
seldom heard last verse.
At 1918 Mr.. Nixon rose and
moved to the front of the Presi-
dents box. Facing nator

his left resting on family Bible,
he repeated the oath prescribed
for all members of the Senate

The stand overlooked the
plaza where some 10000 ticket
holding guests and newsmen
craned their necks to identify
the arriving notables. Above
them. at eye-level with the
presidential stand. television and

on their platform. recording the
scene.

their places on the wings of the
stage were members of the
House and Senate. followed by
the State governors.
AS they waited for the cere-

friends in the crowd. In start
ling contrast to his soberly clad
colleagues Senator Flanders,
Republican of Vermont, sported
a bright red plaid vest.

tors and press corps had found
their places and the scarlet-clad

Crowds Gather Early
Drawing the early morning
chill and drizzling skies, the
crowd at the Capitol started
gathering early. First arrivals
came equipped for the worst
complete with blankets, rain
gear and thermos bottles of cof-
fee. Many looked more suitably
CARRIED for a football game or a
duck blind than for a solemn
state occasion and their mood
was in keeping with the festive
atmosphere.
Most eager of all were the
amateur camera enthusiasts who
held the bulk of the front row
space around the plaza. Some
came equipped with elaborate
tripods and telescope lenses.

The cost Of developing ballis-
tic missiles before the military
services actually can place
them in operation will be q
good deal more than double"
the 50 billion spent for develop
ment of the first atomic bomb,
Thea Pentagon's controller,
Assistant Secretary Of Defense
w. j. Mcneil, made that esti-
mate yesterday In O New York
speech. It was the flrst dis
closure Of the cost Of develop
ing such weapons.
Mr.. Mcneil, who has been
the Defense Departments rs
cal expert since its crea-
ton, also predicted additional
slashes in the number Of mill
tary and civilian personnel.
The administration already has
trimmed military manpower by
100000 and civilian employees
by $4,000. 1t expects to cut an
additional $4,000 civilian en-
ployees this fiscal year to keep
military spending within the
$38 billion ceiling in President
Eisenhower's budget.

confirmed q missile had been
fired, but would say no more.
Authoritative sources said II
was the Atlas.
Hours later Wilfred j. Nc
Neil. Assistant Secretary Of De-
tense and the departments
controller, said the cost Of de-
veloping disable ballistic mis-
siles will be a good deal more
than double the cost Of devel-
oping the first atomic bomb."
That was about 50 billion.

Atlas had climbed only about

pected-this one would do far
better.

ture writer's came from as far

three months and IA days later,
to see what improvements, If
any, had been made. In the
meantime, the Russians said
they had developed such a
missile.
The Atlas, we had read, was
designed to travel $4,000 miles
an hour. reach an altitude OF
600 miles and hurtle down on
the enemy at a speed 40 times
faster than sound.

To Cut Overlap
But Mr.. Mcneil also in
dicated efforts will be made to
cut down on overlapping missile
developments.
He pointed to the recent
cancellations Of the Air Forces
Navajo intercontinental missile
project and the Navy's Triton
intermediate range weapon as
examples of the kind of ac-
tons which will have to be
taken"
Because the cost Of develop
ing new weapons systems is
extremely high and is getting
even higher, much greater
selectivity will have to be
exercised among systems plan
ned Tor the same time period
there will be fewer parallel
approaches" he declared in q
speech before the National
Security Industrial Associa-
ton.
THE size Of our military
forces in terms Of numbers Of
men. numbers Of units and
numbers Of major weapons
must be expected inevitably to
decline" he said. THE reduc.
tons in military and civilian
personnel announced for fiscal
year 1858 and the related
reductions in military units are
steps in this direction.
Additional steps should b.
expected in subsequent years. =
