All nets noted DOD announced about 2, 000 GIs have been ordered to
Wash. to stand by in case of trouble during the Inauguration.
UPI
notes protest leaders have either pledged to be peaceful or said they
plan no civil disobedience.
ABC's Geer over film of troops practicing for Inauguration said
"practice makes perfect" and Inaugural Committee's goal is perfection:
to run "impeccable" series of ceremonies. But "protest and perfection"
is goal of anti-war groups and individuals. On film Abzug estimated
large number of MC's will stay away as protest sign of non-support
of RN policies. Magruder noted protesters "tend to become violent"
while insisting Committee doesn't expect violence but remember past
violence. Another film clip showed training of marshals to keep
people in line w/teacher emphasizing non-violence. Meanwhile
Jerry Wilson doesn't anticipate problems w/people coming to
"peacefully petition" gov't but from his CP he has radio contact
all over city and helicopter support over parade route. Crowd of
5, 000-50, 000 is estimated and Geermoted federal troops coming to
town "in unlikely event'' of trouble
NBC noted planned boycott
of Inauguration by MC's w/Library of Congress knowing no history
of anything similar in Inaugurations. (Boycott not noted by CBS)
Earlier, Abzug said "the talk around the Hill" was about 150 MC's
would boycott ceremony.
Don Edwards called boycott "not organized"
and his prediction of 165 MC's not participating only an estimate
When asked his opinion on the boycott, Albert said he planned to
attend ceremonies, adding as long as House members don't "mis-
behave on the House floor or bring discredit to the House, then it's
none of my concern.
11
Scott described such plans as "tasteless"
and said he doubted that as many as 165 House members will boycott
the ceremonies "unless the weather is cold. "
In CBS AM interview Magruder said Inaugural accomplishes in 10
weeks what should take year of preparation. He admitted calling it
"total marketing project" because of parades, social events, medals
and souvenirs, etc. While pointing out Inaugural self-funded, Benton
interrupted to mention Hill outlay of $850, 000 which Jeb noted is for
swearing in only. On profit making, Magruder called Mint deal "fair
arrangement" since Mint put $1 M up in advance and cause medals
have souvenir appeal to coin collectors.
