York Avenue Accepted as Quest for Shelter Fails. MARCHERS MAY HAVE TO SLEEP AND HOLD MEETINGS IN OPEN 2,500 Ready to Start Last Lap of Trek to Lity—Spectators Warned From Scene of Gatherings. + Camped within a radius of 100 miles, an army of approximatcly 2,500 so-called “hunger marchers” awaited orders last night to move into Washington as the Police Department completed preparations to cope with any emergency that might arise from the invasion. Tear gas bombs, nauseating gas bombs, and other modern riot repelling weapons, were amassed by the police as a mute warning to the marchers to come and go peaceably. In nearby Virginia, Federal troops stood by as a second line of defense, prepared to go into action swiftly should the police call for aid. In the meantime, march leaders desperately made last minute | efforts to find shelter for the unwelcome visitors, and failing, ac- cepted an offer of police officials to establish an improvised camp | on Government owned property on New York avenue northeast, over- | looking the railroad roundhouse. Hardships Are Faced. Here the marchers will be concentrated when they trek into | Washington this afternoon, faced with three days of hardships, living and sleeping in'the dilapidated trucks and decrepit automobiles which carried them over hundreds of miles from their far-flung homes. Here, too, the marchers will be | forced to hold their convention con- ferences, out in the open, unless a meet- ing hall can be found before nightfall. | Only one faint ray of hope apparently remains for better accommodations— an answer to an appeal issued by march leaders to the churches and synagogues | of Washington to open their doors to the ‘demonstrators. The plea was based on a telegram to Herberi Benjamin, one of the march leaders, from George A. Douglass and Francis A. Henson of New Haven, Conn., members of the| National Religion and Labor Founda- | tion. The message declared that Bishop | Francis McConnell, John Haynes Holmes, Jane Addams, Rabbi Stephen | Wise and other religious leaders were on the Foundation Committee.

CHANCE, Staft Correzpandent of The Star. CUMBERLAND, Md,, December 3.— Thirteen hundred radical “hunger marchers” were on the verge of rioting here tonight as a heavy detachment of State and city police guarded their swampy, farmland camp. The marchers, without food since breakfast, were driven by the police into the camp 5 miles from here when they arriy in Cumberland about 5 o'clock this afternoon. Served only black coffee and stale bread for dinner the marchers greeted a police squad which went through the camp on a tour of inspection by | hurling coffee at their automobile. The police car beat a hasty retreat | dered reinforcements from Cumberland. Special Policemen Called. Threats that they would attempt to leave their encampment, donated by a_sympathizer, T.

Representatives of the Capi- tol, Park and White House police forces, | also attended this conference and prom- | fsed to co-ordinate their plans with those of the Metropolitan force. The instructions revealed that the | of Cumberland directed that no one be permitted to leave before daylight. The hunger army, traveling in dilapi- dated trucks and automobiles, was greeted at the Cumberland city line by special riot squads equipped with submachine guns, sawed-off shotguns, tear gas guns, revolvers and gas gren- ades. A detail of 100 special police- men, sworn in by Mayor Henderson reinforced riot squads.

W. INAUGURAL PARADE AND BALL ASSURED ON COLORFLLINE Roosevelt for Traditional Fete Within Limits Dictated by Economy. GRAYSON WILL PLUNGE INTO WORK "AT ONCE Charity to Benefit From Dance, He Advises—48 Governors Will Be Invited. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Dispaich to The Star. WARM SPRINGS, Ga., December 3. —Washington is to be the scene on March 4, 1933, of inaugural ceremonies in honor of President-clect Franklin D. Roosevelt ard Vice President-elect John N. Garner that will at once be dignified, simple and colorful. Ar- rangement of a program that will ac- complish that purpose, with economy as its watchword, was decided upon at the litte “White House” in the Geor- gia pines today at a final conference between Gov. Roosevelt and Rear Ad- miral Cary T. Grayson, chairman of the District of Columbia Inaugural | Committee. The President-elect and Admiral Grayson have been in almcst unbroken ccmmunication for the past two days working out the details of what should finally be the order of the day exactly three months from tomorrow. Presi- dent Wcodrow Wilson's great friend and perscnal physician fought to the last for the most brilliant possible in- augural compatible with Gov. Roose- velt's demand that all expense involved be_cut to the bone. While the set-up Which finally won the Governor's approval does not meas- ure up to everything Admiral Grayson would like to have had him approve, the latter is convinced that by the time the citizens of Washington them- selves have tackled and completed their own immediate end of arrangements, the spectacle to be staged for the whole Naticn's edification will rank worthily with some of the fines inaugural shows in history. Approval of Ball. President-elect Rocscvelt approves of both the traditional inaugural parads and inaugural ball. “He wants the ball to be for chariiy and its proceeds de- voted to unemployment relief. Whether only the Washingten Community Chest or some further reaching charity shall be the beneficiary, the Governor stated today, will be “entirely for Admiral Graysen and his committee to deter- mine. The President-elect and the in- ccming First Lady of the Land will not attend the ball, but “younger mem- bers of the Roosevelt tribe” wll be on hand.” Now that he has a definite conception of what Gov. Roosevelt wants and does not want, Admiral Grayson will proceed at once to select the personnel of the Ineugural Committee. He will arrive in Washingtcn from Atlanta late Sun- day afternoon and on Monday morn- ing will pitch headlong into the work which will absorb his energies for the next twelve weeks Central head- quarters will be established in some conveniently located downtown office building. Suitable premises have already been proflered for the purpose. Gov. Rcosevelt insists that the pomp | and circumstance attendant upon the inaugural parade spall be as limited as possible. He taboos anything savoring of an elaborate military display. The! President-elect thinks that if the| cavalry and artillery from Fort Myer, the Marines from the Washington Marine Barracks, the Blue Jackets from the Navy Yard, and, of course, the| three great service bands—Army, Navy and Merine—are in the procession, the uniformed aspect of the inaugural cav- alcade will be both extensive and color- ful cnough to meet the full require- ments of the situation.

With prohibition, farm relief and international debts all knocking at its door, the Seventy-second Congress meets at noon tomorrow for its final session. Unless this “lame duck” session of the Congress is a worker of miracles, the chances are that nearly all the problems awaiting action will be found still awaiting disposition when Congress closes March 4. The same divided authority exists today, despite the recent elec- tions, which existed when this Congress met for the first time last December.

R Repeal Fight Looms. At the same time Speaker Garner is intent upon throwing into the House for action on the opening day of the session a resolution for the outright and forthright repeal of the eighteenth amendment. The wets and drys, the Republicans and the Democrats, it ars, ar come to grips over tht:p fiu;‘ulyei: teresting &xemon of prohibition repeal without the slightest delay, if the Garner to Shelve Repeal If Move Fails Tomorrow By the Assoclated Press. Speaker Garner served notice yester- day that if the Democratic prohibition repeal proposal is defeated tomorrow no other opportunity would be given the House for another vote on the issue at the short session. Firm in his decision to force the vote in the face of a doubtful result, the Vice President-elect asserted that if the present House repudiates the Demo- cratic national platform the same pro- posal would be submitted to members in the next Congress pledged to sup- port it. Democratic leaders conceded that the outcome would be close, but most of them were hopeful that the required two-thirds majority would be amassed behind the resolution. Wet bloc chief- tains were rounding up doubtful votes while the drys had taken no steps to organize. Representative McDuffie of Alabama, the Democratic whip, expressed confi- dence the measure would be adopted. He based his prediction on a poll con- ducted by his assistant, Representative Milligan of Missouri, who informed Speaker Garner that “more than 150" Democrats would vote for repeal.

The argument is advanced that to put it over.” Senate Action to be Sought. At the Senate end of the Capitol, Senator McNary of Oregon, assistant Republican leader, said that if the House adopted a repeal resolution next week, efforts would be made to make it the Senate’s unfinished business after action on Philippine independence legislation. Leaving his followers free to vote as they wish on the Democratic repeal proposal, Representative Smell of New York, the Republican leader, said the issue was not partisan. The Repub- lican whip, Representative Bachmann of West Virginia, estimated that prob- ably 120 Republicans would support it. With 429 members and 6 vacancies in the House, 286 favorable votes are necessary for adoption of a proposed constitutional amendment. But Mc- Duffie said probably a score of members would be absent, and Milligan said about 265 votes would insure adoption.
