Stationed at strategic points of vantage along the framework of the epoch-making event, and even soaring above it in the clouds, a galaxy of the outstanding reporters of the air un- folded the vivid story to the milllons at home. Not a detall was overlooked, so complete were the elaborate broadcast- | ing plans. Starts Before 10 O'Clock. The radio story of the inauguration |started on . its almost instantaneous journey around the world a few minutes | before 10 o'clock this morning, long be- | fore the principals had come upon the | scene, to continue without anticipated | {interruption until Herbert Hoover en- |ters the White House after revie the colorful inaugural procession. An again tonight the gigantic network of radio stations will be assembled to describe the closing chapter of the in- augural ceremony—the charity ball in the Washington Auditorium. More than 120 radio stations have been interconnected for the elaborate inaugural broadcast. The National Broadcasting System has 70 of its asso- ciated stations in one unending chain across the continent. The Columbia Broadcasting System is serving 43 of its regular members in the North, South, East and West, and a dozen extras added at the eleventh hour for the in- augural ceremonies only.

After reaching the embassy, Pacheco immediately telephoned to wife in Mexico City to assure her of his safety. ‘THe two men brought only the clothes | they wore, omitting all luggage 50 as to save weight. As they arrived on Sunday and today also is a holiday, they were | to borrow wearing apparel at the embassy. The two fiyers landed at Bolling Field at 3:30 o'clock yesterday after- noon, after a dangerous and fatiguing trip, during which they were forced down twice by bad weather, the second time on a field at Crewe, Va., 40 miles south of Richmond, which was so muddy and soft the plane nosed over, smashing the ller. ‘The fiyers telephoned to this city for a new propellor, and Maj. Howard C. Davidson, commandant of Bolling Field, 3 r as mechanic, took off in an Army rvation plane at 10:10 o'clock yesterday morning with a new metal propeller. ‘The new propeller was put in place by Sergt. Pryor, and the two planes landed at Bolling Field before the cheering crowd. After submitting to newspaper phers, Pacheco and McMillin were taken to the fleld opera« tions office, where they got out of their fiying clothes and were interviewed by newspaper men. | _Pacheco, who is but 26 years old, ‘smtks English brokenly. He proved that he has a nimble wit, however, and parried personal questions as skillfully as his fellow good-will fiyer, Col. Lindbergh. ! ! _ Fortunately Married. “Are you married?” Pacheco was ked. “Yes, fortunately,” he replied. i “Why do y&u nfirdrnnunabely?" a laughing reporter asked. et Tow people are able to say that,” Pacheco answered. At another time he was asked if it were true that he is “the richest young | man in Mexico.” R “Well.” he replied without an in- stant’s hesitation, “I am one of the youngest men in Mexico, but not the richest.” Pacheco and McMillin brought with them personal messages of greeting from Dwight W. Morrow, American Ambassador to Mexico, to Secretary of g:':o'fiahmk Kellogg and to President ge. ‘The flight, Pacheco said, was one of the worst he ever has made. The plane ran into bad weather almost immedi- ately after leaving Mexico City, and at one time they were lost in the fog and flew out over the Gulf of Mexico for a half hour before they could find a hole through the curtain. .

It is understood he has come here to remain at the local church during Mr. Hoover’s incumbency Chief Executive. Following the Quaker custom, there was no music or hymns, but silence, prayer, and a brief sermon by Mr. Murray. He took as his text, “For God Hath Not Given Unto Us & Spirit of Fear, But of Power and e and of & Sound Mind.” Woman Prays for Hoover. The only direct reference to the in- coming President came in & prayer by olll’:herl l{horton iml(.h of Pl m:dglphh‘ 0f ose who sat on fac bench at the meeting house. iy “For one of us upon whom his fellow countrymen have placed a heavy bur- den,” she prayed, “we all come to Thee again for Thy will, that he may feel not only that the hearts of his countrymen are with him, but that he has Thy everlasting grace.” Mr. Hoover wore a single-breasted suit of gray and a fedora hi When the party of the President-elect left the church they were ted by a crowd of more than 500, which had gathered out- side to walt their exit. Mrs. Hoover wore a sealskin coat with black turban hat and black suede shoes. Upon ar- rival at the meeting house Mr. Hoover frowned upon applause by the gathered crowd and the applause quickly died away. At the First Congregational Church, Tenth and G streets, which President Coolidge joined after being elevated to Chief Executive, he was greeted with applause, both before and after service. To this the President smiled and doffed his ailk hat, and Mrs. Coolidge gracious- ly smiled. ‘The favorite hymns of the outgoing President and Mrs. Coolidge were sung: “Crown Him With Many Crowns,” “Be- neath the Cross of Jesus,” “My Faith Looks Up to Thee” and “Just As I Am.” It was communion Sunday and both the President and Mrs. Coolidge partook to the sacrament, Reference Made in Calendar, Dr. Plerce made no direct reference to the Chief Executive in his sermon. In the church calendar, however, there was this reference: 3 “Here he has come, not to be observed by men, but to worship God. The wide influence of the quiet example of this public servant and his noble wife in constant and consistent worship and service is. beyond reckoning. We offer our hearttelt &ngen to God that He will continue less and use in the work of His kingdom these servants of Christ, whom we respect and love.” The crowd outside the Pirst Congre- tional Church filled sidewalks at all | four corners of the intersection and waited long for the late departure of the President and Mrs. Coolidge. The epplause was hearty and prolonged.

PIONEER TROOPERS Former Cadets Who Honored Cleveland Also Honor Hoover. | Forty-four years ahead of ths white- | belted, School Cadets who marched their tribute to Herbert Hoover today strode another troop of high school youths, proud to pay martial homage to Grover Cleveland, and distinguished as the first high school cadets to have place in an inaugural parade. Those pioneer troopers marched down the same Avenue which today’s cadets . They swung in review past President Cleveland on to Seventeenth street, and on into the parade of life where they have become rich men and poor men, doctors, merchants, editors, Soldiers and lawyers. Many of those the Avenue today, watching the parade g0 by and, if their memories are frank —smiling. ‘Those first high school inaugural troopers blazed a trail, they did: twa trails. One was in the annals of Wash- ington's public school system and the other was in paper—newspaper, wrap- ping paper and torn paper, mostly. Ask those standing along the line today: they'll remember what they did and why they did it. They’ll tell you that while the Wash- ington High School Cadet Corps was less than three years old when Mr. Cleveland was inaugurated President, the two companies had learned a lesson. They had taken part in the dedication exercises at the Washington Monument on Washington’s birthday of that year and had nearly shivered the two rows of brass buttons off the fronts of their tight-fitting uniform blouses. Some | kind folks had helped out that time with hot chocolate and hot coffee, but every boy in the outfit knew what he'd do when March 4 came along. PARADE ONCE MORE blue-clad _Washington High | youngsters of 44 years ago were back on | v, sized guns, old trian rifles that might have ' weigh 40 pounds, but certainly possessed the'fhwulty o§| p‘ifig- up poundage’ as e mare! - o p' 1t wasn't two blocks before the gan tugging bits of paper effi- ciently, if not militaristically, from be- neath the tight blouses. Bit by bit the offending paper was pulled out and cast by the wayride all along the Avenus That's the way the paper trail was blazed, but it's only an incident in the greater re-ord of glory which the Wash- ington iI'gh School Cadets have built up year by year for themselves. ‘That first inaugural parade of the cadets was commanded by cadet offi- cors, too, and The Star of March 4, 1885, lists the command as follows: Maj. Prederick Sohon. eommanding officer; Adjutant J. Willoughtly Ander- son, Sergt. Maj. Linnaeua E. La Fetra, Color Sergt. Willlam E. Horton, Ord- nance Sergt. William H. Dics, jr, and Bugler Bernard L. Green. Capt. S. Stanhope Williamson was commander of Company A that day, while his officers included Lieuts. Eugene C. Brown and Charles De L. Hine, and Sergts. Louis P. Whitaker, John H. Brown, Clarence E. Doyle, Ed- ward S. Lewis and Harry F. Belt. Company B was in command of Capt. W. Spencer Armstrong and his officers, Licuts. William S. Teel, jr., and Gideon A. Lyon, jr, and Sergts. Luther L. Apple, C. Spencer Crosby, Ernest L. Schm(d;. John E. Reinburg and Harry . Reed. Organized in 1883, ‘The cadet corps was organized in the Fall of 1883 in what then was Washington High School. Located at Seventh and O streets, the school sub- sequently became known as the Central High School, and when that institution moved on to its present magnificent building the vacated structure became the Columbia Junior High School. The two companies which were mustered that Fall found in the late George Israel, instructor in chemistry, a friend who was not only willing to foster the organization, but who was anxious to work with it and for it. Only 50 rifies were available then and the companies took turns learning the manual of arms and drilling with the cumbersome pieces. Only half of the boys had uniforms that first year, too, and after some drilling all the uni- formed boys were placed in one com- pany. Despite these handicaps the corps progressed in the ways of the soldier and in the Spring of that year Cold Ald Lacking. And that's where the paper came in. ‘The cadets wrapped their bodies 'round about with newspapers, wrapping paper, almost any of paper which they knew would keep out the cold air. But none of them apparently noticed that there wasn’t any cold air to keep out, and scarcely had they swung into the line of march before the stifiing truth burned deep into their realizations and bodies. The boys were carrying man- was brought home the body of John Howard Payne, who had died years be- fore in Tunis. 2 There was to be quite a guard of honor for the dead composer when they took him to his grave in Oak Hill Cemetery over in Georgetown, and the cadets were put into the file. It was the first public appearance of the cadets and they marched bravely under the weight of their arms from the vicinity of Sixth and B streets south- POLICIES which cover Home: Life: VERY business day in 1928, the 26 million policyholders of the Metro- politan Life Insurance Com- pany,who are its sole owners, added a million dollars to the great reserve fund needed for their protection against the hazards of life and bus- iness—present and future. Assets Happily, more and more persons have a new under- standing of what life insur- ance promises, what it can do and what it does do. They are learning that it does many different things equally well, While the original purpose —to take care of the bread- winner’s dependents in event of untimely death— has never been lost sight of, today life insurance is large- ly and directly concerned with the business of living.

Harry English, chief examiner in the public school system today, remembers that. He was one of the boys then: one of those half- equipped cadets who laid the foundation for today's crack corps. He remembers how the boys stacked their heavy rifles in the front grounds of the old Alex- ander estate just opposite the cemetery and watched from the burying ground wall as the men within the quiet in- closure laid away John Payne. Marched in G. A. R, Parade. That same first year the two pioneer companies marched in the May parade of the Grand Army of the Republic and so was laid the training for the first Inaugural procession two years later. Having braved the cold of the Mon- ument dedication march and the heat of the Cleveland inauguration parade, the cadets were convinced they could stand anything in the way of weather. And so the corps in 1889 anticipated keen pleasure in their scheduled march in honor of Benjamin Harrison, who be- came President that March 4. And it rained that day, rained incessantly, and to the excited ‘cadets assembled in the drill room of the old high school the drumming of the torrent sounded pleasantly like the distant roll of cannon. But there were older and wiser heads to rule that day. The late Dr. Francis R. Lane, then principal of the school, stalked into the armory. “Boys,” he told them, “you have met your Waterloo.” And his voiced decree the | that the cadets would not march that day fell more dampening than the rain upon the keyed-up spirits of youth. Col. C. Fred Cook, librarian of The Star, remembers that day; he was one of the boys; he remembers that quota- tion of Dr. Lane, and he doesn't say the cadets :fipncmed any watery puns that day, either. Other inaugurations followed, how- ever, and the cadets paraded. But is not all the corps has done. Cadet Maj. William J. Barden was to have commanded the high school troops in the Harrison inauguration, but his disappointment failed to affect his military career. Now he is a colonel in the U. S. Army Engineer Corps. World War Service. Other inaugurations followed that “Waterloo.” and- the -cadets paraded. But marching is not all the corps has done. During the World War its units were called upon.to assist in the regis- tration for the selective draft. They did the job well, too, for many of the youngsters received certificates from the ‘War Department in recognition of their S .

This marks the first time the Federal Government h: ever extended an invitation to Confed- erate veterans to take part in an in- augural parade. The invitation was accepted by Gen. A. T. Goodwyn, com- mander-in-chief of the United Confed- erate Veterans, and several units will walk and ride in the parade. In accepting the invitation, Gen. Goodwyn, now 87 years old, said: “The first invitation ever given by the Fed- eral . Government to the Confederate veterans to participate in an inaugural ceremony was accepted by me as com- mander-in-chief of the United Confed- erate Veterans as a primal effort to bring together the Blue and the Gray in a clearer and truer knowledge of the intra national war of 1861-1865, in order that the whole country may be one in spirit and purpose.
