Day's Hews
By FRANK JENKINS
Inauguration weather note:
Frigid Canadian air breaks out
of its pocket in the Dakotas this
morning and rampages south
ward. It is expected to swing to
the east and could BRING UP
TO THREE INCHES OF SNOW
TO THE NATION'S CAPITAL BY
EATE TODAY.
The Washington forecast for to
morrow reads: "Cloudy, windy
and cold, with a possibility of
snow continuing through the morn'
lng. Maximum temperatures ex
peeled to be in the 30's."
Unusual?
Nope!
Of our 43 inaugurals since 1789,
bad weather has marred at least
half. William Henry Harrison took
the oath of office in 1841 in a stea
dy downpour of freezing rain. The
old soldier refused to wear an
overcoat, and insisted on reading
his 8000-word address. It took him
an hour and 45 minutes.
A month later, he was dead of
pneumonia.
At Grant's second inaugural, it
was so cold that West Point ca
dets passed out while passing in
review before the stands. By
night it got so cold that cham

FROZE SOLID in the bottles.
Sleet pelted James Monroe.
Snow blanketed James Garfield
and Grover Cleveland. Rain fell
on Polk, Lincoln, McKinley, Hoo
ver and FDR during their inaugu-
ral ceremonies. HST and Ike were
lucky. Truman had a cold, but
sunny, day. Ike had bluebird wea
ther for his first inaugural and
at his second mild showers were
scattered by later sunshine,
What to do?
Move the capital to Los Ange
les, maybe.
The temperature there, as this
fs written, is in the 80's.
Or, perhaps, to the State of Jef
ferson, where we're having blue
bird weather.
. The Washington area is jammed
to the bursting point today by
citizens who have come from all
over the nation to see the inaugu
ral spectacle. EVERYTHING is
filled up even Annapolis and Bal
timore, 30 to 40 miles away.
That isn't unusual. On the day
of Andrew. Jackson's inauguration
in 1829, a reporter mused: "Where
the multitude slumbered last night
is inconceivable, unless it wpre on
Mother Earth, curtained by the
unbroken sky."
Hmmmmmm. Back in Andrew
Jackson's day, sleeping in the
haymow was a prime solution for
overcrowding even in well-to-do
homes. Many people still living
can remember sleeping in the hay
mow when the family home filled
up with guests. It was regarded
by the small fry as a lark. -
It's OUT now. Among other rea
sons, there are no more haymows.
Thomas Jefferson was the first
President to be inaugurated in
Washington. Things were simpler
then. After the inaugural cere
mony, Jefferson walked from the
Capitol to his boarding house
near by. It was lunch time, and
he took his usual place at the
foot of a table set for regular
boarders.
Nostalgic thought:
It was Jefferson who said:
"That government is best which
governs LEAST." Would that
there were more like him today

NEW YORK (UPD-Thomas A.

whose hospital in Laos made him

Wednesday night of cancer one

Dooley, a co-founder of Medico,

the world, died at 9:40 p.m. EST.
He had undergone surgery for
chest cancer in August 1959 here
and had been discharged as ap

Americans
Are Held
By Castro
HAVANA (AP)-Fidel Castro's
government announced today it is
holding six Americans accused of
sailing to Cuba Jan. 7 to join
counter-revolutionary forces here.
The announcement said all six
were seized in Havana the day
after they made a pact in Florida
with a Castro foe, former Sen
Rolando Masferrer, to join other
dissidents , trying to overthrow
Castro's regime.
Several Americans were exe
cuted by Castro firing squads last
year alter they were capiureo
with ' invasion groups in Cuba.
The announcement identified the
six as George R. Beck, 24, Nor
ton, Mass.; Tommy L. Baker, 28,
Dothan, Ala.; Donald Joe Green,
28, Clover, S.C.; James E. Beane,
34. Cedar Falls, N.C.; Alfred Eu
gene Gibson, Durham, N.C.; and
Leonard Louis Schmidt, 21, Chicago.
The account said the six sailed
from Marathon Key, Fla., with a
refueling stop at Key West Jan. 6
after undergoing training at Mas
ferrer's anti-Castro training camp
in Florida.
Castro's Cabinet needled the
United States with a series of new
decrees.
Boivin Ribbed
About Acting
Governor Term
SALEM (AP) The Oregon Sen
ate today gave its president, Har
ry Boivin ol Klamath Falls, a
good-natured ribbing as he be
came acting governor for three
days while Gov. Mark Hatfield is
attending the Kennedy inaugural.
The Senate sent a four-man es-
spread and was under almost con
stant sedation. Besides family
members, the only person permit
ted to see him was Francis Car
dinal Spellman who visited Doo
ley on his birthday Tuesday and
drew from him his broadest smile
since entering the hospital.
"I tried to assure him that in
his 34 years he had done what
few have done in the allotted
scriptural span," Cardinal Spell-
man said on leaving the hospital.
President Eisenhower also sent
Dooley a birthday telegram, say
ing, "It must be a source of
heartened gratification to realize
that in so few years you have
accomplished so much for the
good of distant peoples and have
inspired so many others to work
for all humanity."

Dr. Peter D. Comanduras of
Washington, D.C., set up Medico

Dooley, a bachelor, worked up
to 20 hours a day trying to bring

found time to raise more than $1
million for Medico by writing.

grams. He worked right up to the
time he entered the hospital fori
the organization.
Medico now has 17 projects in
12 underdeveloped nations.
The announcement of Dooley's
death was delayed until early this
morning to permit notification of
his family.
Burial In St. Louis
Malcolm Dooley, a brother, said
fnat the body would be taken im
mediately to the Arthur Donnelly
Funeral Home in St. Louis, the
doctor's native city. He will lie

Divorce Court
Ends Fabulous
Family Story
DENVER (UP!) - The "Fabu
lous Jacksons," parents par ex

be happy though married, landed
in divorce court Wednesday.
Dr. Taylor Jackson, a physician.
accused his wife, Marjorie, a hat
designer, of "extreme and repeat
ed acts of cruelty." He asked for
a divorce and custody of the six I
of their 10 children who still live
at home.
Mrs. Jackson, who did gradu
ate work in child psychology and
once operated a nursery school,
toured Europe in 1950 with her
husband to study marriage and
family life. American Magazine in
1951 published an article on "The
Fabulous Jacksons of Denver"
which was reprinted by Reader's
Digest.
The Jacksons became recog
nized authorities on marriage and
the family, and were considered
to have provided their own best
examples. They spoke frequently
to parent-teacher associations and
similar groups.

SHELDOtf, Iowa (AP)-Part of
the assets held by Burnicc Iver-
son Gcigcr, 58, who had admitted
a $l-million bank embezzlement
here, went into the purchase of
130,000 shares of Northern Bio
chemical Corp. of Sheldon, offi
cials of that company said today.
This fledgling industry, or
ganized about a year ago to deal
in the manufacture and sale of
special animal feeds, started with
$8,000 but is now capitalized at
$500,000. Mrs. Geiger, assistant
cashier of the Sheldon National
Bank until it collapsed Tuesday,
had held a controlling interest in
the chemical firm.
The extent of her holdings in
the. company was the first con
crete figure turned up during an
investigation of what she did with
the $1,126,859 defalcation that re
sulted in the closing of the bank.
Held in jail at Sioux City, the
town's prominent citizen and phi
lanthropist, has remained silent.
Although substantial, the invest
ment in the chemical firm stock,
represents only a part of the em
bezzled funds. Mrs. Geiger paid
for the stock in excess of $130,000
with blocks at $1.08 and $1.16 a
share.
Elliott Ronscvelt, son of the late
president and economic consultant
for Northern Biochemical, said
Mrs. Geiger bought about one
third of the corporation's capital
stock of 350.000 shares.
Records indicate that in the
early months of the corporation,
outstanding shares totaled only
about 200,000 and Mrs. Geiger
held 65 per cent. The firm also
has two subsidiaries.
There were these other develop
ments in the affairs of the chem
ical company which was reported
to be one of the biggest depositors
in the Sheldon National Bank:
Roosevelt, speaking at a mid
night news conference after a
lengthy meeting of the company
directors, -said he owns no stock
in Northern Biochemical and will
have to wait to see if "this will
be a good investment." He said,
however, that he thought the cor
poration had a bright future.
dent Eisenhower and President
elect John F. Kennedy canvassed
the nation's major problems in a
White House conference today
lasting more than two hours.
When he came out ot me con
ference, Kennedy told reporters
that he and three of his top ap
pointees had had "the opportunity
to get the thinking of the Presi
dent and the responsible officers
of the government on some of the
major problems facing the United
States."
Kennedy, bronzed and smiling,
was asked how he feels with his
inauguration as president sched
uled Friday.
"Very good," he replied.
A reporter asked if he was ex
cited.
Interested," Kennedy replied
with a broad grin.
A joint statement issued by the
press secretaries of the outgoing
and incoming presidents said that
world areas discussed at the con
ference included Hie Far East,
Africa, Western Europe and the
Caribbean.
Eisenhower and Kennedy met
alone first in the President's of

Room w ith the incoming and out

of their discussions.
The statement said that during
their discussions; the president

All were here for a solemn occasion that lasts but a

Around 12:30 p.m. Friday, Kennedy takes tho simple
oath, and as he does the awesome responsibility for lead

shifts to him.

Harsh Rule
To Apply,
Says Solon
Sen.
WASHINGTON (AP) -
Richard B. Russell, D-Ga.,
today he expects all 10 of the top
civilian defense team designated
by President-elect John F. Ken
nedy to comply with "a very
harsh rule on private holdings.
The rule will require Robert S.
McNamara, named to be secre
tary of defense, and nine Penta
gon subordinates to sell all their
stock in companies doing any di
rect defense business.
McNamara testified he would do
anything the Senate Armed Scrv
ices Committee says must be
done to qualily for approval. Rus
sell heads the committee.
After two days of public hear
ings and more than two hours of
closed-door discussion, the com
