Washington Preps For Tomorrow’s Inaugural Ceremonies
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The town
really beagn to bulge, bustle and
buzz Wednesday with people
crowding in for Friday’s inaugu
ration of John F. Kennedy as
president of the United States.
Sprightly, peppery, Harry S. Tru
man, who once lived in the White
House himself, was among them.
The Kennedy clan was gather
ing, too. The president-elect spent
the day in New York before fly
ing down to Washington to start
the rounds of official pre-inaugu
ral events with an appearance at
a reception honoring Vice Presi
dent-elect Lyndon B. Johnson.
Mrs. Kennedy came by plane from
the other direction, from Palm
Beach, Fla.
And, except for carpenters still
pounding on a stately white stand
in front of the White House,
things are about as ready as they
ever will be for the changeover in
administrations. Security agents
have even battened down all the
manholes in the streets along the

Keilers, Class of ’54 and a student
in the Transportation Officer Ca
reer Course at the U.S. Army
Transportation School, has been
promoted to captain during recent
ceremonies in the commandant’s
office.
i The 28-year-old officer had his
bars pinned on by Brig. Gen. Rob
ert B. Neely, T-School Comman-
lant, and Lt. Col. Cary A. Kennedy,
Jr., Secretary.
I Entering the Army in January,
1955, Capt. Keilers completed the
Officers Basic Course at Ft. Lee,
Va. Before his arrival here as a
student, he was stationed in Korea
with the 151st Transportation De
tachment.

Although the role of collegiate
athletics has been often discussed,
Bruce Felker’s “A Matter of Sta

thought.
“Tara Revisited” affords Bryan
Ralph the opportunity to illustrate
both his knowledge of southern
architecture and his artistic talent.
A glimpse of what the life of a

line of march of the inaugural
parade.
But it looks like chilbain and
goosepimple weather for some of
the gorgeous girls who will be
riding floats. Florida is going to
have seven bathing beauties
aboard an entry depicting the
“Sunshine State.”
The weather man, though, said
it looks now as if there may be
a bit of snow Thursday. And Fri
day will be cold and windy with
the temperature around freezing.
Every train and plane poured
in out-of-towners. Information
booths at terminals, hotels and
motels were mobbed with people
wanting maps, of word on where
to round up that ticket to the in
augural ball that should have ar
rived by mail. Reinforcements
from as far as Chicago came to
the assistance of firms renting
evening apparel.
President Eisenhower held his
last news conference and rolled
through a heavy round of ap
pointments. With less than 48
hours left for him at the White
House, he had the air of a man
who wasn’t exactly unhappy at
the idea of leaving it—only that
a Democrat was moving in.
It was Harry Truman who gave
up the Democratic lease on the
executive mansion eight years
ago. And the 73-year-old Mis
sourian was utterly delighted
that a Democrat will be moving
back in Friday afternoon.
He beamed at welcomers at
Union Station, shook hands ex
uberantly and told everyone in
earshot: “Whenever the Demo
crats are around, you’re in good
company.”
Truman, and Eisenhower have
met only at funerals in the past
eight years. Truman said he has
no plans to meet with his suc
cessor on this visit to Washing
ton. A -meeting with Eisenhower
is about the only thing he will
skip.
There was one other exception
— the opening official event of
the inaugural period. That was a
reception at the National Gallery
of Art Wednesday afternoon for
distinguished ladies—wives of the
incoming Cabinet and such.
In addition to dozens of private
parties on the side, Thursday will
bring a reception for governors,
an inaugural concert featuring
American composers and talent,
and a gala show featuring stage
and movie stars and Democratic
party efforts to raise money to
pay for the campaign debt.
All this is just a prelude to
the solemn, impressive ceremony
for the swearing in of the new
president and then the vice presi
dent before the east front of the
Capitol building at noon Friday.
After that, it’s back to razzle
dazzle and celebration with the
great parade down Pennsylvania
Avenue and an inaugural ball
split into five sections and scat
tered around the city.
With heavy sighs, inaugural
committee members said that at
last they will be able to take
care of everybody who had man
aged by Tuesday to put in his
application and put up his $25 for
a ball ticket.

Of this number, he added, six
were from the A&M Division of

Sterile Milk Possibility
Viewed At Dairy Meet
If current research is success
ful, milk companies may someday
produce a completely sterile fluid
product that will keep for two
months without losing quality.
W. M. Roberts, head of dairy
manufacturing at North Carolina
State College and a speaker at the
annual Dairy Manufacturers’ Con
ference which ended yesterday,
said the milk preservation feat
will be accomplished through use
of ultra-high temperature pasteur
ization.
The fluid milk temperature
would be jumped up to 195 to 200
degrees, or even higher, he said.
There may be a slight cooked fla
vor in the product, but this will
pass off soon unless the milk is
scorched.
Direct steam injection shows the
most promise, Roberts told an es
timated 75 persons attending the
conference. Present equipment
can not do the job satisfactorily,
and a change-over to ultra-high
temperature processing would re
quire new facilities.
Roberts said the system will in
crease shelf life of milk, but it
will not cover up effects of bad
sanitary conditions on dairies or
while the product is in transit.
A. V. Moore and I. I. Peters,
professor and associate professor,
respectively, in the Department of
Dairy Science, said the conference
has been held annually since 1934.
The purpose is to bring to dairy
manufacturing representatives the
“best available information on cur
rent developments and problems.”
Conference sponsors are the De
partment of Dairy Science, Texas
Agricultural Experiment Station
and the Texas Agricultural Ex
tension Service.

The Aggie Gagers meet the Houston Cougars tonight in
Houston for second time this year in a game that could prove
to be the big test for both teams.
Houston will be going into the game fresh, two surpris
ing wins over topped ranked Bradley and St. Louis while the
Aggies have gone down in defeat in their last two outings
against Texas Tech and Texas.
The Houston club will be tested to see if they can stretch
their streak to three big wins while A&M’s test will be to
pull out of a slump.
It seems that Houston’s Gary Phillips will have his hands
full as he takes on the job of holding dowm A&M’s Carroll
Broussard, the Southwest Con- +-
ference’s leading scorer. Hous
ton’s Coach Guy Lewis had
originally planned to use Don
nie Schverak to guard Brous
sard, but Schverak is having his
own problems with an old knee in
jury, that will likely keep him out
the rest of the season.
If Coach Bob Rogers follows his
recent trends in coping with Phil
lips, he will turn loose one of the
Stanley Twins on him. Last year
Pat Stanley held the Houstonian
to six points, all on free tosses.
Ted Luckenbill poses the big
gest scoring threat to the Aggies
as he has scored 229 points this
season to hold down the top posi-
aion with an average of 16.4.
Phillips is running a close sec
ond with a 14.8 average and will
go into the game with an injured
thumb.
Although Coach Lewis explain
ed that he was dissatisfied with
the Houston teams workouts early
in the week, he said, “We aren’t
going to roll over and play dead.”
Houston’s team as a whole is
