Capital Rites

A short circuit in an electric
motor sent wisps of smoke
soaring from the platform on
which President Kennedy took
his oath Of office today.
The incident caused a small
furry of excitement but inter-
|rupted the ceremonies only
briefly. For a time. the source
Of the smoke remained a mys-
terry.
Then 1t was traced to an elec-
trio motor that operates an
elevating mechanism in the

The mechanism raises or
lowers the top Of the lectern
according to the height of the
speaker.
The lectern has been used
for inaugurations since the
days Of Franklin Delano Roose-
welt.
A Capitol electrician said
that the motor probably had
become wet, possibly because Of
snow which had been swept off
the platform.
The smoke first was noticed
while Richard Cardinal Cush-
ing Of Boston was delivering
the invocation, but it soon
ceased and the program con-

Defense Intent
No Cost Too Greet
TO Keep Liberty,
President Asserts
BY GARNETT d. HORNER
Star Staff Writer


John r. Kennedy began his
presidency today with q promise
that this Nation will bear any
burden to defend the cause Of
liberty and an eloquent bid
for Russian help in bring
ing about q world Of peace and
justice.
The new Presidents brief,
ringing inaugural address was
built around two key themes.
Early, he gave this pledge:
LET every nation know,
whether 1t wish us well or Ill,
that we shall pay any price,
bear any burden, meet any
hardship, support any friend
or oppose any foe in order to
assure the survival and success
Of liberty"
And then he urged that both
sides in the global balance Of
power work together toward
the day when they bring about
mot q new balance of power,
but q new world Of law, where
the strong are just and the
weak secure and the peace pre-
served forever"
Uses Familiar Gestures
Mr.. Kennedy delivered his
address forcefully and con-
fidently, using the chopping
gestures which became so IA
miliar during the prediction
campaign. He was bareheaded
and without q topcoat in the
bitter cold, which vaporized his
breath at every word.
He was especially forceful
when he said this generation.
like few others, has the job Of
defending freedom in its hour
Of maximum danger, and then
declared: II do not shrink from
this responsibility. I welcome
it,

and foe alike. that the torch

this century. tempered by war.
disciplined by q cold and bitter
peace. =.
The address included a series
Of pledges to friends around
the world, with particular at
tention to the Americas. To our
old allies he pledged the loyalty
Of faithful friends; to the new
nations he pledged that one
form of colonialisn would not
be replaced by worse tyranny;
to the poor and hungry he
pledged assistance and to the
peoples south of the border he
pledged ito convert our good
words into good deeds-in a
new alliance for progress. y
Warns on Hemisphere
He coupled the last pledge
with a promise to help fight
aggression or subversion in the
Americas and with notice to
"every other power" that this
hemisphere intends 10 remain
the master Of its own house."

BY HAYNES JOHNSON
star star Writer


John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the
young man who summoned
America to new horizons in the
1960s, became President Of the
United States today in a city
transformed. overnight into q
frontier town.
His face solemn, his hand
on the Bible, Mr.. Kennedy took
the oath of office at 1880 pm.
A bright sun shone on the
scene.
The 35th President then
shook hands with his opponent
in the campaign, Richard M.
Nixon, and with the outgoing
President, Mr.. Eisenhower. Mr..
Kennedy then turned to the
crowd and smiled widely.
He stood bareheaded, with
out an overcoat, for the cere-
monies, which started eight
minutes late.
Walks Back to Capitol
At 1:12 pm, while the
Marine Band played Hail to
the Chief" Mr.. Kennedy
turned and walked back to the
Capitol, completing the cere-
mony.
When Mr.. Kepnedy raised his
hand to take the oath of office
on a windswept stand at the
Capitol, he set q number of
precedents.
At 43, he is the youngest man
ever elected to the presidency.
He also is the first Roman
Catholic to hold the highest
office.
The Inauguration is the 44th
in the Nations history. Mr..
Kennedy is the 35th President.
Mr.. Kennedy takes up the
burdens Of the most difficult
Job on earth from Dwight
David Eisenhower. at 10 the

history.
The bustling, eager crowds,
the gaity of a boom town
spirit. the expectant air of
change-all seemed to reflect
President Kennedy's keynote
theme.

ceremony at the Capitol was

men had worked feverishly to

, which descended on the city
, snuffed out some of the gayety
of the occasion, a bright sun
