has indicated he intends to
have q settlement of that be-
fore the West German elections

Thompson Reporting
The extent Of the subject

by the fact that. while the con-
ference ended at 1880 pm, MIR
Thompson was still busy more
than six hours later debating
and editing the report to be
cabled in code to the State De-

The scene at the Armory--

Police officials explained that
one Of the biggest problems
was that many ball-goers were

Also, as cars crawled along
in their proper lanes, a digni-

this was their big chance,

fell In behind the escort, with

Many motorists who stayed
In line eventually abandoned
their cars. either because their
batteries went dead or Just In
sheer disgust.
Buses loaded with celebrators
also complicated the problem
at the Armory. -
Traffic was damned around
the downtown hotels-particu-
larry the Sheraton ark-but
the situation was nowhere near
as bad as at the Armory.

In the election year. Congress
would increase Its appropria-

the election. the agency would
already be functioning. The
President-elect would pick q

bulk Of the work would be

Mr.. Foley made no secret Of
his dislike for the Guaranty
Fund.
This fund Is made up Of
contributions made to the In
augural Committee by private
businesses and individuals. This
year about 81 200. 900 was given.
This stands as the financial
support for inaugural costs
which are supposed TO be met
by sales of tickets to and
souvenirs Of the various events
during Inaugural Week. The
givers all hope they will receive
their money back from the
receipts from these sales.
Mr.. Foley said 1t Is too early
to make Q firm decision this

costs have been met by receipts.

who wanted to attend was that
