The White House.
Washington D.C
Dear Sir;
Today has been a day of thinking. And I couldn't help but think of some of the
trmendious tasks that confront you in the comming four years. It seemed the least I
could do is to offer my services, I did your predicessor.
I am perposely late in this offering,as I wanted you to fill all the appointed
positions first.And have some idea as to how to approach some of the situations.I
know you are a very busy man at this time.
If President Johnson has aquainted you at all with my writting, in the book I
called BLIGHT UPON THE LAND you know that I do have the answers to the Tradjedy of man.
And that I have offered a way of life such as man has never known.It is not a
religious writting, though a religion is suggested in it,some. If he has not,a copy will
be made available to you at your request. I have two copys of most of the chapters.
And I will make a second copy of the rest of them for you.
As is stated in the book,I am not commercialiseing on it. The knowledge within it
should be the property of all mankind. And so it is my contribution to all mankind.
It is my hope that one of the emediate things you will do with this knowledge is to
further guard the health of our mitual friend Pres. Dwight D. Isenhour. I mentioned in
a personal letter to President Johnson how that could be done.And from the lack of
any further trouble with his heart,I believe the advice is being used.Heart attacts,
as any other ailment of man,is just not natural.
I hope you will accept my advice in the good intent it is intended, in that I hope
you WILL NOT underestimate the viciousness of toxic man,as our late Pres. Kennedy done.
It was not the intent of those that voted you into office that you risk your life in that be
job.
There are many of the tasks that I mantioned in the book that I am capable of doing
for you.And I will if it is your desire. But as I have said befor I intend to fill no
position but my oun.And I have some writting yet to do.I have a part of another book
written, titled PROJECTS FOR THE WORLDS FUTURE PEOPLE. Some of these projects would dwarf
even the largest of wars we have been involved in,in an economical sence.And all
are designed to benfit all mankind.
This too,is to be a contribution to all mankind. And it is my hope I will be able
in the future to carry out plans to utilise my time in what I have called POSSIBILITY
RESERCH. To figure all things in the many fields of endevor that can benefit man. This
would be involved in geology,archiology,chemistry,electronics and the many others. Of
course the funding of such a project would have to be planned.
I truly hope that you have had a chance to read the many chapters of the book, If
you have you can see why no government has ever really been successful, and what all
sickness and desease is about, what the weather the world over is about and many other
things. You also will know that we,at our time in life, will be able to leave a legasy
to our children such as has not been possible in the past.And you will know too, that
EVERY DEATH OF ANYONE IN THE PAST, HAS BEEN MURDER:
I think of the confrontation that you and Kruschev had when you was vice President,
when I think of the communist situation.Bu did you ever figure out that it was
mental reverssion from a chemical imbalance in Kruschev's brain, that caused him to be
so obnetious Thats what it was.All will learn soon that ALL PEOPLE ARE GOOD PEOPLE, IF
THEIR SYSTEM IS HEALTHY ,AND THEIR MIND ALERT.
In the studying of the many chapters one can see how it was that I knew that man
was spray poisoning one another and all animal life,over a million years ago,in the
describtion of the elephant having arthritus at that time. Arthritus is a result of
the restriction of the blood flow by varrious and many ingrediants ,mainly Uric acid.
As you can see, the book has many of the answers that can be valueable to any man,
especially to one of your position now.I hope someday to talk to you in person to further
explain a lot of the ides mentioned, if there can be a time found when you arn't so busy.
I've really been known as a rather quiet individual most of my life, though my writting
might indicate otherwise. But I assure you we would have plenty to talk about!
I'm happy for your family that you will be in the whitehouse. Could it be there would
be a marriage take place there?Give your daughter and Ikes grandson my congratualations.
That surely will please the general.
My wife and I wish you a Merry Christmas and a very good New Year. Most of all I
wish for you a successful term as our President.
May God Bless you and yours.
Sincerely yours
W.Ken Ferguson. Lerguson
POISONS
Chapter 115.
12-29-68
Central City,Colo.
Dear Friends;
Most people, especially they that would be known as laymen to the field of chemistry,
think of a poison being those certain items labeled as such,by the druggists, the doetors
or the chemists. We have not had occassion to delve any closer to the subject than that.
NNZ Actually, anything that is non conducive to the many functions of the physical or
mental systems, is a poisons. Even some,in fact quite a lot of the antiseptics are
poisons under certain conditions.
We consider salt as nesessary to our daily diet as food.Not knowing that our need
of !t arrises as a result of the poisons that are induced into our system all the
time, to a great extent. The sodium chloride of salt has a nutralising effect on the
earbolic acád that we recieve in the air from storm,and that is dirrectly induced
into our systems by voletile gases. But salt can be very poisonious to our system,as was
evidensed about a year ago when a mild solution of saline water was given to babys
by misstake for glucose, in a noted hospitol. Several babys died from this misstake.
We think of formaldehide as one of the strongest of the antiseptics. And yet,it can
bE
very very poisonious. While it is a killer of most germs and viruses ,and is good to use
in the general air, even a small amount on the skin will cause a chemical burn. This is
especially true if one is quite toxic. But will burn without there being any toxicity.
The insane people among us do use it to pressure into varrious parts of the body. Such
as they can cause what has been called shingles, so that it is painful and difficult to
breathe. They can cause sockets of the varrious joints of the body to be dry, and noisy,
and eventually limit their use. The chemical burn from formaldehide can cause fibious tissue
And this tissue becomes the same as scare tissue, useless ecept for the filling of space.
while this may not seem very important, it has another meaning when it is considered that
there is a limited amount of muscle tissue in the heart,1 for example.And the heart needs
all it tissue to do its job.This same example is important when the plight of the
kidneys is considefed. And though this is not the only means of destroying the heart or
the kidneys ,it is one way it is being done.
The sprayers use formaldehide a lot to destroy mucus membr,ne that the viruses
can be the easier induced, after the evaporation of it.And it will cause a. dehydration
of the cells of tissue by chemical burning,to where the cells need repair by the replace-
-ment of pottassium. The cells can trigger the mechanism that lets the heart know they
are in need of replenishment only if they have their proper fluids and pottasium.
The restriction that is caused in the extremities can prevent this message from reaching
the hear also, In all, these sections will not recieve replennishment at times. Resulting
in Bergers Renners and other known terms of desease. The result is usually the amputation
of some parts of the extremities.
IN PLAIN WORDS, IT AMOUNTS TO THE SYSTEM DYING A LITTLE AT A TIME.
The sprayers have used formadehide 1 to refrigerate and to freeze vegetables that
I have in a well insulated box in a cellar room,sinee it is an alcol h base ingrediant.
Also,hi done the same thing with carbolie acid. The one way one can determine which
has been used is that if they are fronzen with formadehide they thaw out with no bad
result, remaining firm. But with carbolic acid, they become soft,and 500 n would spoil.
Apparently formaldehide has little effect on the Uric acid of Urine, though one
thinks of it as a disspeller of filth. And it will aid Urie acid, as well as the many
other ingrediants, in the removal of the elasticity of the skin and other tissue,so
that it can cause the appearence of ageing in the face very rapidly. The removal of this
elasticity can cause rigididy in the muscular tissue, 50 that it becomes difficult for
one to flex any muscle, especially the back muscles in the bending or the lifting of
any weight. THIS IS WHAT A LOT OF THIS SO-CALLED AGEING IS ABOUT.
It is known that such ingrediants as formaldehide can cause the system to desire other
alcoholic ingrediants for the purpose of dillution to dissapate it.And while this is one
way of elliminating some of it,it becomes a chain reaction, so that it is thought that
the drinking of alcohol is addicting. Alcohol, then, becomes a poison to the system
because it does interrupt the chemical balance for digestion, it does dissplace to some
degree the Lactic acid of the brain, causeing a chemical imbalance, which is known as
insanity. Carbolic acid, which the sprayers use a lot in the making of storm,and to
spray dirrect into people, can cause about the same result,as well as there are several
ingrediants that can do the same.But it usually requires an ingrediant that is of an
alcohol base.
Of course the tissue of the brain is about the same as any other tissue, when it
is considered for its durrability. Extensive damage to it for a prolonged period of time
will result in permanent damage. THERE WILL BE SOME OF OUR PEOPLE THAT WILL NOT BE
CAPABLE OF REBUILDING THEIR SYSTEM WHEN THE POISONING OF MAN IS STOPPED!
Urie Acid,which most medical men have thought was a natural ingrediant in any
Urine,is a result of incomplete digestion of vegetable matter. It seems there is a
larger percent of it from the digestive tract of animals than from man.But man recieves
this through his food when the animals excretion is used as a fertilizer.And so it has
been a constant, and ever increasing sourse of the poisoning of man since the orrigin of man
on this earth,until now,it has become quite a serious thing,in that all have a percent of
the dillussions from this Ufic poisoning.
And as man became more dellussionary as time went by, helped the situation to
become worse by the causeing of a more incomplete digestion by the disrruption of
the chemicals the system uses in the digestion of food. Most Americans eat some six
times the food that their system requires for the reason that they must eat this much
food for the system to gain enough food to maintain their system. Of course their
system retains a lot of this Uric acid. And some of that excreted is used by the insane
sprayers to spray into people.A check should be kept on all nurseing homes where the
older people are housed, to make sure all such ingrediants do go doun the drains of the
bathrooms. The older people would have the largest consentration of Uric acids in
their wastes.
The reson that most gain only about a sixth of the energy they should from their
foods is because of the spray poisons that that disrrupt the digestive chemicals. These
chemicals have been dissrupted to the extent that the system has come to the point it
cannot even produce the digestive chemicals, in many cases. For instance, if the system
cannot produce HYDROCHLORIC ACID, ,one of the main seven chemicals required for digestion,
he has then, PERNICIOUS ANNEMIA. And this chemical then must be supplied from an
outside source, such as pills or capsules.
It is possible that one might think this was a natural failure on the part of the
physical system of an individual. But then how would one account for the fact that the
colored races have practically no record of pernicious annemia?
Since Uric Acid is practically insolable in water it isnear impossible for the system
to dissapate it on its oun, ,unaided. This is especially true if by voletile gas,it is
induced into the fleshy places that don't have a blood vessel set up to dissapate it.
But it can easilly be induced with sulphurie acid because it is almost completely
solable in sulphurie acid. So Urie and sulphuric acid is a usual combination the
sprayers spray into people evrywhere.
I purposely have not deseribed the usual items called poisons such as arsonie,
stychnine, and the others, because one can find them well described in any of the medical
books that are avaiable. The sprayers do use them some, such as for the purpose of
agrivating their neighbor in their reverssion, in the poisoning of his pets. They use
the viruses that are known,and that are the usual, to spray into animals such as the
squrrils of the park, to scare people. THIS IS A PSYCOLOGICAL WAR, ALSO!
And, of course they do poison some children with such items, when they can control their
thinking with their sprays, enough to cause them to be delving into the medicene euboard
or elsewhere that they shouldn't be.
But my chief interest is to inform you of the main poisoning, the poisoning that has
been going on all of the lifetime of man that can and will result in the total destruction
of man if not stopped. I do have a selfish interest there, in that I too want to live,
And I do want to live the life man was supposed to live. To do otherwise, knowing how
it should, and how it can be done would be the same as to commit suicide,as one would be *
living a life of less durration than it would be possible for him to live.
But I cannot live such a life without making it possible for all others to do so,as
the many would see to it that I didn't.
It is not my purpose to be the technition in the chemical or the medical field,no
in the field of reserch, as we have so many brilliant people in thos fields. And so
many more brilliant minds comming to those fields from the class rooms all the time.
But I hope I can point out some of the needs of our people for these technitions to
work on. THERE IS so MUCH TO LEARN, BEYOND THE TEXT BOOKS OF TODAY!
One other poison I would mention is that of CURARI. It is a poison developed from
the careass of dead animals as it decomposes. Supposedly this is done in the jungle lands
such as in Afria, by the natives. From this decomposition comes a poison that supposedly
can stun an elephant in three seconds. And can kill him in less than three minutes.
All would be well in the describing of this,as the orrigin of that poison. But when one
understands that flesh does not decompose in a natural sence, that there would be only
dehydration of the moisture content of the flesh,it can be known that the careass was
loaded either befor or after death with a virus or germ, that goes through a time of
incubation in that careass to ripen into the deadly poison that it is claimed to be.
It would be interesting to know if that virus or germ is induced by those natives, or
if it is from people of another land!Of course this means that all animals are so
loaded with the viruses and germs, the world over. This being true, it is likely that some
of it is transmitable to man if he consumes that flesh, untreated.
I have described in other chapters how meat can be treated so as to remove most of
the many poisons that is in it.
I would mention that it is one thing to rid man of the toxins that would disrupt
his systems natural function. But that it is quite another thing to keep these disruptions
from reoccurring. It is beyond doubt that EDUCATION is the main defence we have to both
problems. And of course there must be an auful lot of reserch go into the formulation
of the texts for that education. We must all pass along the bits of knowledge that we
find in life, that can be beneficial to all mankind.
May GOD BLESS each and every one of you.
Sincerely yours,

Loyalty Fund
December 26, 1968
Dear Classmate:
The end of one year and the beginning of another - an appropriate
asrA
time to think of good deeds. And one of the best is giving to our Uni-
versity, to help the efforts of those devoting their lives to critical
educational tasks, to multiply the value of our dollars by investing in
progress.
This transitional period is a particularly good time to give to
Duke. Gifts are tax deductible. This letter may reach you in time to
increase your 1968 giving, and deductions, but certainly to permit you
to plan ahead for 1969. This is the middle of our 1968-69 Loyalty Fund
campaign, with its major milestone goal of $1,000,000. It is the middle
of the final year of the Ford Foundation Challenge Grant, when for each
$4 we give, Duke will receive $5, and for each $100 there will be $125.
This is also just in advance of the winter area campaigns, and a
response now will help Duke, your Class Agent, and your Area Chairman.
It will help keep our Loyalty Fund, now in its 22nd year, up among the
very best such programs in the nation.
Our class responded generously to earlier fall appeals. This year,
however, we want 100% participation - with each member giving with maxi-
mum generosity. The following table indicates the range of gifts needed
to reach $1,000,000.

Our continuing Loyalty Fund effort is a mainstay of Duke's annual
operating budget. Our Loyalty Fund gifts are for the urgent needs of the
immediate present. And it must be re-emphasized that the Loyalty Fund is
altogether apart from the Fifth Decade Development Campaign, now in its
last year and aimed at another objective, that is increasing Duke's capi-
tal resources.
If you have not made your Loyalty Fund commitment for 1968-69, will
you make it now? Your pledge is important, regardless of how you make pay-
ment between now and June 30. Your name on the early honor roll of donors
will mean a very great deal. So please return your card now, being as
generous as you can, and earn the gratitude of your University and the
appreciation of your Class Agent.
Sincerely,
Dorothy Class Agent L. airheart

Honorable Bob Wilson, Congressman
2235 Rayburn Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Bob:
I discussed this topic briefly with you at your party at Sea World. You sug-
gested I write you a letter.
The topic is Section 3507 of Title V, U.S.Code, the so-called dual compensation
act of 1964. I think this law is very unjust and discriminatory to a selected
few. Also, I think it could be called a "breach of moral contract" with all
persons who decide they will serve our government for twenty years of their
lives for the small reward to be gained. When I decided to serve twenty
years, the idea of entering civil service at the end was foremost in my mind.
I expected to have the same benefits as all retirees. But, lo and behold,
almost to the day I retired they passed the new law. My retirement date was
1 June, 1964. I could not possibly have been in civil service six months to
retain the maximum benefits. The cut-off date was November, 1964. Not only
that, but it was when the bottom dropped out of everything around here by the
closing of the Naval Repair Facility - another senseless maneuver.
This is how the law affects me. As you know, we are going through an R.I.F.
(reduction in force) at Naval Electronics Laboratory Center, where I work,
even tho' the Captain was given the choice of waiting until June, 1969, when
possibly things could change with the incoming President (he says he is going
to build up the labs) or normal attrition takes place. I was caught right
away on a bumping procedure, but my department and division heads went to
bat for me and got me on a special retention list. I am an electronics tech-
nician, GS-9, and I work on Univac Computers and a lot of sophisticated peri-
pheral equipment. During the 2½ years I have been at N.E.L.C. I have steadily
increased my proficiency until now I am quite good at my work, and my bosses
tell me so and want to keep me. However, they have finally been forced by
management to abolish another position, and after much discussion the picked
mine. If they had picked an engineer, the bumping would have taken the real
good ones we have instead of the ones they don't want. It's interesting to
note that the whole R.I.F. at N.E.L.C. does not include one single engineer;
all are service support and technicians. We have a lot of engineers who have
not produced anything of value for years but they are still maintained. I
belong to a code that develops and produces new systems for the fleet. We
just recently finished the MPDS System for the Oklahoma City (CLG-5). We're
working on a larger one for the Nimitz (CVNA-68). So, with the work load
increasing, they actually need more people instead of less.
On the R.I.F., they have put me in Group IIB, which means I have no Veterans
Preference at all. A man that spent 18 months in the Service and has been at
Congressman Bob Wilson
-2-
December 26, 1968
N.E.L.C. for three months is ahead of me. Maybe Congress thought our pension
was enough to live on? It is not possible. Also, I work right alongside a
technician who had the same rate as I, but he retired before 1964 and all of
his rights and all of his time counts.
My bosses figure that the Government has $50,000 invested in me in schools
alone. I have been to computer programming and others; they did not figure
in the money invested in me during my twenty years. For example, $10,000
for Fire Control Technician School alone. Seems a shame to lose all of that
training. I feel I've surpassed most of the technicians in my group as far
as ability to fix the equipment.
Therefore, (long, huh?) I am requesting that you try to do something about
their discontinuing the R.I.F. at N.E.L.C. The Government is the loser, as
they are getting rid of a lot of real valuable people, preferably before
January 29, 1969 (my birthday, incidentally.)
Also, I would appreciate it if you would look into the Dual Compensation Law
and see how unjust it really is. Maybe introduce a bill to repeal it?
I will hold myself available for any questions or investigations that might
be forthcoming. I am not one of the submissive government workers. I don't
have to be - I'm good at my work and I know it - my bosses know it, too.
But, as usual, politics catches up with the people who really try.
Thank you in advance for any and all consideration.
Very truly yours,

P.S.: One factor in this whole mess might be that we have a Univac representative
working where I do. He does the same type of technician work I do and, in
effect, is filling a position that a civil service worker could be doing.
They have many of these employees throughout the N.E.L.C. If, indeed, a
R.I.F. is to save money, he could be replaced by a civil servant. Does
this contract work violate a public law, if a civil service veteran can
do the work?

Dear mr. nigon,
JAN 6 1968
In a recent newspaper column I
learned of the appointment of Governor
Walter Hickel as Secretary of the Interior,
I've enclosed that column for your reference.
Even if I were to believe only a small
portion of this column the gravity of the
charges would require me to question your choice
of Govornor Hichel
two questions came to mind after I read
the Column and I trust you'll answer them
for me. First, is the story as told in the
attached Column time ? If not, then what
is the truth? Sicondly, if the column does
represent th truth, how can you possibly appoint
Garenor Hichel to such a post ? 20130
It seams quite strange to me that anyone,
esperially a lawmaker, would even attempt to egnore
the authorization given the Eskimos by the State
department and replace their decision with his
own.
I certainly hope you can clarify this
matter for me by answering the above quenstions

Con: NASA excluding women
from being astronants and refusing
to name anyof space craft with
femarine names
JAN 10 1989
Dec. 27, 1968
National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Office of James E. Webb
Washinton, D. C.
Dear Sir:
As I watched the historic flight of Apollo 8 this past
week I was constantly aware of the tragic reality that over
half the population of this country, indeed, of the entire
world, was not represented. As I listened to the archaic and
unscientific statements made by reporters of "mans achievement"
and "this historic moment of mankind", I felt with great sad-
ness the alienation from this great event that all intelligent
women must feel. One doesn't need to be very educated to
realize the fallacy, both logically and semantically, of man
representing women. It's absurd; obviously, only women can
represent women. Of course you are not held responsible for
society's demeaning and discriminatory vocabulary as it relates
to women. However; you are held responsible, by me and future
history, for ignoring the now lost opportunity of exhibiting
to the rest of the nations of the world our potential for social
advancement as well as our advances in scientific technology.
Not only would this have been an unparalleled opportunity to
give American women their just place in the history of aero-
nautics but would have culturally upgraded the whole of human-
ity.
I know that many qualified and highly motivated women
pilots asked to be included in the space program. That these
requests have been treated with contempt is not only a failure
of our government to adequately represent it's womenkind but a
personal shame for the men in NASA who made the decisions upon
aeronautical personnel. If the decision to exclude women from
astronautical training was based on the close physical quarters
of space craft then all I can say, is, what ridiculous Puritan
prudishness. Any women intelligent enough to be trained in
this field would not be deterred by such considerations. How-
ever; I do not think that it was consideration for women that
(2)
has prompted their exclusion but rather the same old sickening
disrespect and prejudice of men for women in any social capacity
but one. Intelligent women do not want the so-called "protect-
ion" of men if this was a consideration. Indeed, what would
the women astronaut need protection from in a spacecraft or
the moon? Women would just as bravely risk their lives, as
men are allowed to do, in the interest of their country. Many
women have in the past. If rather, the exclusion of women is
based on "hard-headed" dollars and cents reasoning then this
only proves the current opinion of the worth of women. If the
training of a women astronaut costs NASA an additional million,
it would be wellspent, and but one small million of the billions
being spent. If her training took extra time or special accom-
modation, then thatextra time and effort must be made for the
sake of American's women. I most strongly urge that a women
be trained for the next flight to the landing on the moon. If
it's too late for training on that flight then women should
begin training now for succeeding flights. The failure to in-
clude half of our population in the space program is also sym-
bolically most regrettable in that for the first time women
all over the world could have identified with another women
taking an active part in an historic occasion. In one enlight-
ened discision NASA could have advanced the human rights of
over half the population of the world.
There is another matter that should be included in future
space plans. That is that half the space ships should have
womenly names. It was small and malicious of NASA to call the
planned flights to the moon the Apollo series instead of Arte-
mis or Diana. After all, historically, men have always denig-
atively called the moon fenimine, and when not writing sentimental
poetry to "her", made invidious sexual comparisons between the
moon and the sun. As usual, though, when anything becomes import-
ant men are able to make a fast adjustment to changing the
grammatical case to masculine rather inconsistently overlook-
ing past associations with the feminine case. Again, this is
one more distinctly obvious move that belittles women in the
space program. But again, the exclusive use of masculine names
does not reflect upon women but does reflect most unfavorably
upon the men who make policy decisions. These decisions mark
the decision makers, as mean, sexually insecure men whether
they are or not. It's unfortunate that this kind of spirit
is associated with the striving of humanity towards knowledge
of the universe.
The purpose of this letter is to gain information as well
as to make a statement and urge needed changes. I would like
to know exactly who were, or was, responsible for excluding
women from the space program. I would like to know exactly
who were, or was, responsible for the naming of all our space-
craft. And I hope I won't be put off on these requests as it
(3)
can be answered and someone is ultimately responsible for these
decisions. Lastly, I would like to know who to contact for a
speaker representing NASA to speak on these matters to a group
of dedicated and interested women and men.

Dear Mr. President:
Next attached are copies of my letter to the
Colorado legislative delegation and IRS form 4177 which are self
expaanatory.
There must be many millions of people including
myself, who are looking forward to an end to government by black-
mail on January 20th and the beginning of statesmanship in our
government.
Eight years of the courtse coddling communist
spies and the underworld by our courts is a very long time. I hope
you will appoint justices in our courts who will mete out justice
to self confessed criminals and communist spies, such as they have
not known for many years. Earl Warren can still do a lot of damage
to this nation with his rulings on the supreme court. Something will
have to be done to reverse some of the supreme court rulings which
have been made since Warren was appointed to the supreme court. I have
conversed with quite a number of people who are concerned by the
court decisions, such as the law enfdrcement officers being hindered
by the court rulings in their efforts to convict self confessed
criminals. I believe a large majority of the American people have
confidence in your integrity. Therefore, please appoint court
justices which are beyond reproach. I read an item about honor and
integrity about forty years ago, which ended with; "As impeccable
and unimpeachable as a supreme court justice". What a pity that our
present supreme court justices cannot be so rated.
Some press reports indicate that when you attempt
to brake. the inflationary forces and a business recession begins,
that you will pour more gasoline on the inflation flames. It would be
preferable to have a business recession than to continue with the
inflation unabated until we have a complete collapse. The quicker
the inflation is stopped the better for every one. A base should be
formed within a couple of years so that a sound economy can be built
on firm business economics.
My very best wishes for your success as President
of the United States.
Sincerely,
G. B. Chastain

Dear Mr. President;-
I wish to thank you for a few

former home in California.
I am also glad, that you have
attained the supreme pest of the PRESIDENCY.

publication in the Buffalo Evening News about four

This inauguration should be

Urges Indoor Inaugural
The inauguration in cold
damp weather in winter time,
without consideration or pre-
caution to guard the health of
the president and the public,
seems queer and inhuman. It
would be more logical and com-
fortable to arrange such a
ceremony in a huge heated audi-
torium close to the Capitol.
