It combines in one wildly colorful package the pomp and ceremony of a British coronation, the exuberance of a World Series crowd, the dazzling display of a Rose Bowl parade and the social whirl of a dozen debutante seasons. All signs indicate that the Inauguration o f President John F. Kennedy Jan. 20 will be the biggest and splashiest this capital has seen since Franklin D. Roosevelt look office in 1933 and told a depression-panicked nation that "the only thing we have to (ear is fear itself. The Inaugural Committee began by ordering construc tion of stands for 15,000 spec tators along the 8-mile route of the inaugural parade. That figure was based on the de mand for seats at Dwight D Eisenhower's second-term in augural in 1957. But the de mand for tickets has been so great, from all parts of the country, that officials raised the sealing order to 35,000 and then to 60,000, In addition to the tfO.OOO persons who pay from $3 to S25 for the privilege of sit ting on a hard wooden plank during the inaugural parade, upwards of 1 million others If i - - "iliflf ' ji MRS.

Officials cannot even esti mate how many out-of-town visitors will pour into Wash ington for the three-day in augural festivities, which got underway Wednesday, Jan. 18. Expect Town-Full But they are expecting, in the words of one harassed of ficial, "a town-full and then some." Hotels are already heavily booked and are requiring full cash payment in advance for four days -Jan. 17 through Jan. 20 - from anyone who seeks to reserve a room at anytime during the inaugural period. The Inaugural Hous ing Bureau also is lining up thousands of rooms in motels and rooming houses. Railroads scheduled special trains, and airlines have put on dozens of extra flights to accommodate the mass move ment of loyal Democrats to Washington. Disregarding the thousands of private parties which will be thrown into hotels, resta urants, homes and clubs, the first official event on the in augural program was a "Re- c e p t i o n for Distinguished Women, Jan. 18. Guoiii of Honor Guests of honor will be Mrs. John F. Kennedy and Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson; President Kennedy's mother and sisters; Mrs. Kennedy's mother; wives of cabinet of ficers; Democratic women members of Congress, and three former first ladies-Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, Mrs. Elea nor Roosevelt and Mrs. Harry Truman.

"The official swearing-in ceremony will take place at noon Jan. 20 in the great plaza of the U.S. Capitol building. This is the ceremony at which Kennedy takes his oath of office and delivers his inaugural address. Relatively few of the in augural visitors will be able to watch this historic event in person. The Secret Service doesn't like a crowd of stand ees at an outdoor ceremony at which the President will be exposed for more than an hour. So admission to the ceremony is by ticket only, and there is room in the plaza for stands seating only about 8,000 persons. Tickets to the ceremony are at a premium ("harder to get than 50-yard line scats at the Army-Navy game," ac cording to one harassed con gressman) and are being ra tioned on the basis of 12 for each senator, 8 for each House member. But disappointed applicants will be able to watch the cere mony, along with millions of other Americans, on televi sion. The parade will begin im mediately after the ceremony at the Capitol, It's supposed to run for 2 hours and 25 minutes, but veterans of many inaugural parades laugh wearily at this optimistic time-table. They re member too many occasions on which the parade ran two or three hours overtime. Main Attractions . The main attractions, of course, will be President Ken nedy, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson and their wives. It has not been announced whether Dwight D. Eisenhow er will ride in the parade with his young successor. But two other ex-presidents-Harry S. Truman and Herbert Hoover -have accepted invitations to share In the cheers of the crowd along historic Pennsyl vania Ave. Kennedy, Johnson and theirand other new weapons from distinguished guests will ride i all the services. in the first section of the pa rade, and wii debark at a specially b u 1 It reviewing stand in front of the White House, from which they will watch the remaining units go by. The theme of the parade is "World Peace Through New Frontiers," and each of the floats will feature some aspect of the theme. There will be 40 marching military units, totaling 15,800 men, including the cadets of all service academies and bands from all of the services. One of the military units in the parade will be a PT boat, last of its type in com mission. Brought here from Panama City, Fla., it will be "floated" down Pennsylvania Ave. by veterans of the PT boat crew which Kennedy, then a Navy lieutenant, com manded in the Solomon Is lands during World War II. Also on display in the pa rade will be models of Army and Navy missiles, the Air Force's B70 and X15 aircraft, Each of the 50 states will have a section in the parade, led by its governor riding in a -new convertible, and in cluding "one band of not more than 100 members, one float, and one marching unit of not more than 200 persons," ac cording to the official regu lations. Passing Word Officials are passing the word that parade units must keep up with the line of march and maintain good dis cipline. Parade Chairman F. Joseph Donohue explained that these precautions grew out of a review of films taken during previous inaugural pa rades. "We saw such horrors as the cowboy who lassoed the President in 1953, the gov ernors who stopped their cars in front of the reviewing stand to make presentations of local products, and the marching units which held up the parade while they went through complicated maneu vers," said Donohue. Please, boys, don't ham it up for the TV audience. After the parade ends (and it will seem endless to the officials trapped In the re viewing stand) President and Mrs; Kennedy will have a few hours rest before setting forth for the Inaugural ball. The ball is being neia in three sections in order to ac- of about 19,000 persons. The ' Kennedys will appear at all sections. Sometime long after mid. night, the new President will make his weary way to bed, the inaugural ordeal behind him, and nothing to worry about except running tha , country for the next four years.
