OATH T0 CARNER AN 15 HALEP Ceremony on East Plaza Meets With Approval of Public, Says Neely. Decision to administer the oath of office to Vice President Garner as a part of the public inauguration of President Roosevelt at the east front of the Capitol instead of in the Sen- ate chamber has met with favorable public reaction, according to Senator | M. M. Neely, chairman of the Joint Congressional Inaugural Committee. In the past the induction in office ©of the Vice President has bordered on a private affair, the number of available seats in the Senate mak- ing it necessary to issue but one ticket to each member of Congress. Many Failed to Hear. Furthermore, it was explained, there | has been at past inaugurals consid- erable confusion in the transfer of | witnesses from the Senate chamber | to the platform outside the Capitol. | Four years ago, many of those whoi had seats in the Senate failed to ar- | rive at their platform seats in the | exterior stands in time to hear all| the inaugural address of the Presi- | dent. “It is, I think, entirely fitting that the Vice President should take the oath of office in the same public manner that the President does,” said Senator Neely. “He holds the second highest post in the land and should, I believe, appear before the vast audi= ence which will assemble on Cap- itol Hill, with the Chief Executive, Add Dignity and Color. “The change will add both dignity and color to an event which, although wrapped in a great many traditions, is not beyond enlargement along lines that will make the ceremony more in keeping with the occasion. “I know that not only every mem- ber of the committee but the entire Congress and people of the United Btates appreciate the Vice President’s willingness to accede to the sugges- tion that was made.” Senator Neely warned that the parking of busses and automobiles, other than those of officials, would not be permitted on the Capitol Plaza on inauguration day. Members of the committee have been informed that out-of-town bus companies are ad- | vertising that occupants of the busses €an come to Washington and see and hear the inaugural address without leaving their seats. | cording to Commissioner Allen, gen- gl B it s From this classic reproduction of Andrew Jackson’s home, the Hermitage, the presidential party will review the inaugural parade. President Roosevelt suggested that the stand be de- iz signed along the lines of Jackson’s Tennessee homestead. The stand was planned in_accordance with the President’s wishes by Waddy B. Wood, architect of the Inaugural Committee. FEATURES ADDED 10 BIRTHDAY BALL Noted Film Stars Invited to Celebration Here at Seven Hotels. Washington’s celebration of the President’s birthday ball, January 30, will be outstanding among those of all the cities of the Nation, ac- eral chairman of the Ball Com- mittee. “Washington is the home town of President Roosevelt, at least for the next four years” said Allen, “and we propose to hold a real home town celebration.” Andrew Jackson Moved to Clear Way for Celebrities BY the Associatec - Press. Andrew Jackson stepped aside yesterday for the inauguration of President Roosevelt. In fact, he was put aside. ‘The heroic bronze statue of Old Hickory in the Capitol’s rotunda was moved from the spot on which it has stood for years so that dignitaries, after leaving the Senate wing, will be able to exe- cute a snappy left oblique as they march through on the way to the inauguration stand January 20.

PLAQUE IS PRESENTED IN MEMORY OF STUDENT Charles D. Mackay, Jr., Recalled | in Ceremonies at Friends School. A plaque was presented to Priends | School last week in memory of the late Charles D.

The money was collected and presented with the understand- ing that it is to be used to equip and furnish the art room. ‘The employes plan to raise an ad- ditional amount for the club each Christmas. Pauper (Continued From First Page.) Geoghan said he would ask for Gore- lick’s release instanter. And it was because of Rose's story that the Jersey City hoard came to light. ‘The story of the “pauper” who had slept on a mattress cache of dia- monds was blazoned. His pictures were published in the newspapers. A Jersey City detective, Sergt. John Gaffney, thought Rose’s face looked familiar. He went to the Hudson County National and showed the photograph to John L. Skinner, assistant cashier. They talked it over with Henry Wittpenn, vault custodian, who said he recognized Rose as a man who had rented a safe deposit box. Skinner telephoned to Geoghan, Kings County district attorney. Coincidentally, Geoghan was then questioning Rose anew. He called detectives, who took Rose to the bank | in Jersey City. Geoghan said Rose first denied, then admitted owner- ship of a box in the name of “Sam Fertman,” which he said he had established for the beneft of his| father. In the box, Geoghan said, were nine envelopes, containing the hoard. An unidentified appraiser called by police set the value of the collection at $350,000. Geoghan said Rose admitted owner- ship of the gems, but identified them as not the ones whose loss he reported. Rose was to be taken to Freehold, N. J, to the home of Isaac Schuster- man, 94, whom he identified as his fa- | ther. Rose said he had changed his | name for business reasons. In reporting theft of the gems yes- terday, Rose said he left his wife seven months ago and, fearing she might try to attach his estate, buried the dia- monds, all his wealth, behind his fa- ther’s home. He said he had converted all his holdings into the jewelry when he re- tired from business two years ago. Then, he said, to create the im-| pression he was a pauper, he returned | to New York, took a furnished room and applied for home relief, later transferring the diamonds to the mat- tress on which he slept. Rose said Gorelick visited him last | July and, lounging on the bed, discov- | ered the diamonds and started stuffng | the envelopes containing them an his | shirt. After threatening to expose Rose's masquerade to the relief authorities if | NAVY YARDS MAY BUILD WARSHIPS Funds Would Be Immediate- ly Available for 2 New Major Vessels. The possibility developed yesterday that the Navy will construct both of the new battleships in navy yards, officials disclosed, stating that funds already are in hand to start work on the two vessels so there will be no delay as far as money is concerned. Plans are completed for both ships, the authorities said, following detailed study by the General ‘Board and the Bureau of Construction and Repair, as well as the Engineering and Ordnance Bureaus of the Navy De- partment, These plans provide for several alternatives as to speed, size and caliber of guns and other fea- tures. Labor is represented as de- manaing both ships be built in navy yards, but the Navy is said to favor giving one to a private contractor. That the new warships will each be of 35,000 tons’ displacement seems assured. Reports are that the vessels will be of 30 knots speed each, but the Navy Department would neither confirm nor deny this. The quasi- official “Jane’s Fighting Ships,” pub- lished in Great Britain, has carried stories that the new United States battleships will be high speed, around 30 knots. Alternatives in BRieprints. ‘The plans that are now ready to be translated into reality provide for varying combinations of the 14 and 16 inch guns. One, for instance, is for 14-inch guns and 25 knots speed. | All possible alternatives have been set out in the blueprints. | ‘The question of whether the vessels z 9000000000000 0000000000600 he complained of the theft, Rose as- serted, Gorelick walked out with the gems.

Provision has been made in the plans for the required gun founda- tions, shells, mechanism for operating the turrets and other factors, officials explained, A vital factor governing the placing of 14 or 16 inch guns aboard the two new battleships is the point that Japan and Italy have until April 1 to agree to 14-inch guns, officials explained. No characteristics of the two new ships will be given out at this time, the Navy Department said. The Lon- don naval treaty of 1936, providing for the interchange of naval information between the great powers, has been ratified only by the United States thus far. The other signatories, Great Britain and PFrance, are still studying the pact. It is provided that the treaty will be effective until December 31, 1942. Early Estimates Probable. Estimates probably will be asked im- mediately from the various navy yards for the building of the battleships. A conference may be called at the de- partment of representatives of va- rious yards, such as was done recently in the case of West Coast navy yards, relating to the floating dry dock. No official announcement has yet been made on this, however. Private ship- FUR COATS, CLOTH COATS SUITS, ENSEMBLES EVENING WRAPS SAKS, 610 TW WESTinc 14th and G Sts.
