Armed Services Fill
Inaugural Driver Seats

The General Accounting Of
flee garage looked like an in
doctrination center yesterday
as 300 sailors and soldiers
milled around the cars they
would drive Inaugural Week.
The Cadillacs were there and
four Air Force men found q
salmon-colored one to sit in
while they waited their turn at
the dispatch counter.
Cokes and coffee were dis
pensed much more quickly than
car keys as the involved cross
checking by the military and
inaugural transportation COM
mittees continued from 8 am.
past noon.
I'm previous years they had
civilian drivers, supplied by the
motor car companies. They
tried college students, truck
drivers. It didn't work too we'll,
they came from all over and
many didn't know the CITY,"
explained transportation COM
mittee member Richard McCor-
mack.
This year the companies
said they'd give us the cars If
we supplied the drivers. Be-
cause it's an official function
we asked the military to supply
drivers for the parade and
VIPs and the motor pool"
The free services of sailors,
soldiers, Marines. Coast Guard
and Air Force men were re-

cruited from nearby bases.
They will drive nearly 400 cars
before the week is out.
There are 1870 convertibles
sitting quietly, waiting just for
the parade. In addition, around
the clock military chauffeurs
are provided for VIPs.
This ambiguous category in
cludes governors, cabinet men,
bers, members Of the immediate
Kennedy and Johnson families,
heads Of the Inaugural Com
mittees. But no Congressman
unless directly connected with
the Inaugural Committee, and
no celebrities-unless directly
connected with the Kennedy
family.
There was some furor kicked
up by Republican Representa-
tive Gross in the dust of the
white Lincoln Continental that
drove Frank Sinatra, Peter
Lawford and company from the
airport last Thursday to the
Armory. He protested the use
OF military personnel as drivers
for the stars.
They were guests of the In
augural Committee. They came
down in Mr.. Kennedy's private
plane. No, Mr.. Sinatra doesn't
have the car now. OF course,
Peter Lawford, who's a member
Of the immediate family, does.
I think they share it," said Mr..
McCormack.

Ball Tickets of Mony
CIouded in Confusion

At the Inaugural Ball Com
mittee, confusion is the order
Of the day.
A guard stands by a recep-
tionist's desk trying to keep
some semblance of order. Be-
hind the desk in a fifth floor
corridor at the old Liberty Loan
Building, doors are closed.
Secretaries and volunteers
pop from one door, march
briskly across the corridor,
knock on another door and wait
until it is opened. Before, the
doors were always opened.
In the hall one woman was
saying to another:
II think it's terrible. All
those people got invitations and
sent in money and won't be
able to CO."
Tickets Are Late
Even the fact that the Inau-
gural Committee announced
today that a fourth ball site
has been chosen doesn't take
the pressure off the harried
office workers.
The ball committee finds it.

HERE HIS ASSISTANT,

Jimmy Jones, took over.
"The solar cell is still a
very expensive bit of equip
ment for the amount of elec-
tricity it produces.
"One reason is the intri-
cate construction of the cell.
Another is the cost of silicon.
Pure silicon has to be used,
not the silicon used in the
manufacture of glass.
DUPONT produces it. It
used to cost $375 a pound. It
now costs $100 a pound. Per-
haps that can be reduced.
But what we are hoping
for is an aluminium shingle
that will produce electricity
from the sun because it has
been coated with a film of
pure silicon"
Whereupon they demon
strated some of their toys.
One little pump powered by
solar cells began sending a
little fountain of water into
the air when an ordinary
photo-floo light was turned
on it.
The same substitute for the
sun caused the four propel-
lers of a model airplane to
start spinning.
"It won't fly" said the
demonstrator, "but you can
see the sun can produce elec-
trio power.

self in an embarrassing situa-
ton. Some $4,000 invitations
were mailed for the formal af-
fair. Thousands of tickets, how
ever. were not mailed to sub
scribers in time.
Consequently, the committee
today began distributing un-
mailed tickets from an office at
92l Seventeenth street NV.
How many tickets were not
mailed?
No one seems to know.
Or, for that matter, no one
seems to know how many will
attend.
THE powers-to-be won't give
out that information" a press
spokesman said.
And why not?
1T might make people upset
to read about numbers"
NO IeiepnOne
I'll ten you what you can do,
though. to help" the spokes-
man said. Print the number Of
the telephone downtown where
tickets will be distributed"
That would have been fine
except for one thing: There
didn't seem to be q phone.
When it comes to the uues-
ton Of why some tickets were
not sent out in time. the COM
mittee reacts this way:
II wouldn't stress that invita-
tions were mailed late"
Then there is the fact that
many subscribers did not mail
their money and applications
back to Washington in time.
There are no more tickets
available to the ball, which will
be held in four locations Fri
day night-the Armory and the
Sheraton-Park, Mayflower and
Statler-Hilton Hotels.
Free Bus Service
For those who do have tickets,
the committee Is providing free
bus service to the Armory be-
ginning at 8 pm. Friday.
Buses. decked out in Kennedy
johnson pennants, will run
every 10 minutes from % hotels
in the District.
Honored guests will be trans
ported in a special Inaugural
Ball Coach" Refreshments
will be served OH the coach.
AS for those who received
invitations but are being told
there Is no more space, the
committee admits with sorrow
that some people are going to
be disappointed"

RIA to List
Evictions on
Waterfront

Redevelopment Land Agency
officials on Thursday will de-
termine which waterfront busi-
nesses will have to move to
make way for the new bulk
head.
The RIA will extend the
present bulkhead line SO feet
into the water and fill in be-
hind the new sea wall to pro.
vide more ground for building.
Construction of the bulkhead
is expected to start in May.
James G. Banks, RLA's re.
location director, said more
than a dozen businesses may
have to be moved either tenn
porarily or permanently so
bulkhead construction can
proceed.
For the last several weeks
Thomas x. O'Toole of the RIA
staff has been interviewing
waterfront businesses with an
eye to finding out where they
would like to move and their
requirements. These interviews
will be concluded by the end
of this week, Mr.. Banks said.
No official order to vacate
has been sent to the water
front businessmen as yet. This
cannot be done until RIA &C
quires title to the waterfront
land from the District. How
ever, the District in the interim
may send out a notice ordering
businessmen to vacate within
so days.
James E. Linde, RIA engi-
neer. said the bulkhead will
cost about $l.3 million. 1t will
run between the Municipal Fish
Wharf and Fort McNair,

Zone Board to Take Up
Czech Embassy Project

The property, which over
looks Rock Greek Park, is the
7l2 acre estate Of the late
Joseph Sanders, vice president
Of the Bank of Commerce and
vice president of the Equitable
Life Insurance Co. Mr.. Ruzek
said the building .now on the
estate has 10 to IS rooms and
would be the residence of the
chief Of mission If the coming
revision is permitted. Purchase
price would be about 1925, 900,
he said.
DR.. Ruzek said the Czechs
desired to build a chancery con-
tanning 80 rooms besides the ex-
isting building.
The Ambassador said the
Protocol Division of the State
Department already has ap-
proved the project.
Handling the property for the
Sanders heirs are the real

slider an application for an ex-
ception to the city's zoning
rules that would permit the
Communist Czechoslavak En-
baSSy to acquire property at

Embassy and new chancery.
DR.. Miloslav Ruzek, the Czech
Ambassador, said the present
chancery at 2349 Massachusetts

for the present Embassy staff
Of about 40. Parking also is a
problem there, he said. He
added that he would move his

cover city costs.
From Senator Pastore, Demo
crat of Rhode Island, chairman
of the Senate District Appro-
priations Subcommittee, came
advice for the Commissioners tc
concentrate on justifying theil
spending and revenue proposals
in the House.
The budget asks for a $31
million Federal payment, the
full amount authorized, and
$4 million Of previously au.
thorized sums refused by Con.
gress.
Senate District Committee
Chairman Bible, Democrat OF
Nevada, pledged himself to
"use every effort at my COM
mand" to get the full $32 mil
lion payment.
Last session, Congress al
lowed the District $25 million
as the Federal share of running
the city.
Congress Split Seen
Apart from the payment, new
taxes are regarded by local Of.
ficials as necessities to meet
costs. But Congress may be
divided over the major rev.
enue source-an increase in the
general sales tax from 2 to
per cent. House District Com
mittee Chairman Mcmillan
Democrat of South Carolina, is
determined to push through
this tax. and already has in.
troduced his own bill to raise
the sales tax rate.
In the Senate, however, any
sales tax increase is opposed BY
Senator Morse, Democrat ol
Oregon, and a small band oi
liberal colleagues.
They lean toward a real es.
tate tax. which is firmly op.
posed by Mr.. Mcmillan anc

ated with District affairs. The
Commissioners plan to raise
real estate taxes in 1862 them
selves If Congress approves the

OF electricity is that certain
elements exposed to the sun
will generate a positive
charge.
Silicon, one of the COM

tanned in every grain of sand
and the raw material from
which glass is made, is the
principal one. Most of us re-

devise a solar cell system for
the roofs of the little dwell
ing places in the 100000 viii

Right here / want to
hasten to say that the solar

It was developed by the Bell

Finally we think we have
something. We have an in
