Eisenhower was described as "full of life and drive ... ready to go" tonight on the eve of taking the oath as 34th President of the United States. While the nation's flag-decked Capital crackled with excitement and bulged at the seams with an estimated half a million visitors—the 62-year-old President-elect spent a busy but quiet day in the Presidential Suite on the 12th floor of the Hotel Statler. Private Dinner Aides said Eisenhower planned a small, private dinner with members of his family, then early to bed to rest up for the tumultuous hours ahead. At the White House, three blocks away, President Truman also planned a quiet dinner with Mrs. Truman and daughter Margaret on their last night in the executive mansion where Truman held sway for nearly eight history-making years.

Gaunt of the First California Co., Los Angeles, yesterday traced the business cycles following wars for the Anaheim Rotary club and told his audience that the nation probably will get back to "reality in 1954" in money matters. He said there will be a readjustment of our economic course but it is doubtful if it will be too painful. He said prices are the result of the relationship between money in circulation and goods to be bought on the market. In 1939, he pointed out, there was $9 billion in circulation in the United States. In 1953, there is $30 billion circulating. In 1950, the output of all goods in the country was 189 per cent of 1939. The more rapid climb of money in relationship to the output of goods, had a direct bearing on the value of the dollar. It is now worth about 52 cents, Mr. Gaunt said, which is the balance between the money in circulation and our total production of goods. "Following wars, the speaker said, we have a period of "boom" then an equal period of "price adjustment," then a long gradual climb to normalcy. Government spending and the Korean war, have prolonged the period of boom following World War II and have prevented a price adjustment and the gradual trend to normal prosperity. He said we will get on this economic track beginning in 1954 if...

Enrest Gonzales, 28, said he was told "We don't want anyone here with Mexican or Spanish names—the neighbors won't like it." But the sales manager of the real estate firm said the whole thing was a mistake on the part of a part-time salesman who no longer is with the firm. Frank Crowhurst of the McKeller and McKay construction company added: "Very Sorry—" "We are very sorry it happened. I have been trying to reach Mr. Gonzales to apologize." Gonzales, who served in the Members of the Kwikset Credit union and their guests met at the Anaheim union high school cafeteria last night for the annual dinner-membership meeting of the employee financial association at Kwikset. Earl Cooper, president of the Orange county chapter of the California League of Credit Unions, was the principal speaker. He traced the history of credit "for the man at the machine" and told of the rapid rise of company credit unions. Adolf Schoepe, president of Kwikset Locks, Inc., who is attending the convention of the National Association of Home Builders in Chicago, sent a message to the meeting stating "We organized the Kwikset Credit union to provide a practical financial service for Kwiksetters. It was intended to be a place where you could borrow money when it was to your advantage to do so, or when an emergency arose." During the meeting it was announced that a 1952 dividend of 4 per cent will be paid for savings in the Kwikset Credit union.

A week ago, a real estate advertisement for homes in the Santa Clara Gardens tract a mile west of Santa Clara caught his eye. He telephoned the real estate firm and made arrangements himself and his wife to see the tract. "The agent, Mr. St. Ores, rushed us at the bus and was very nice Gonzales said. "But on the way to see the house, he asked me name and then said, 'I'm sorry, but we don't sell homes people with Mexican or Spanish names.'" "I'm afraid I got a little man Gonzales said today, 'but what he said that, I told him that that's the way he felt, I would want to live there anyway."

"Veep," he told newsmen, "is a term of affection applied to Vice President Barkley, and it should go with him. Mr. Barkley will always be Veep." Asked if he had any preference about how he is addressed, Nixon said he hadn't give it any thought but guessed "Mr. Vice President, or Mr. Nixon, or Dick" would be all right.

Planes Jam-Packed Washington To Watch Inauguration WASHINGTON (AP)—Dwight D. Eisenhower speaks today 37 tradition-hallowed words that will confer upon him the honors and burdens of the presidency of the United States. To acclaim him in his moment of glory, hundreds of thousands of his countrymen streamed into Washington yesterday—dignitaries from all the states and plain people from the crossroads. They jammed transportation terminals and traffic, sang and cavorted, and whirled through another round of inaugural preliminaries. But for the time being they had to be content with occasional glimpses of Vice President-elect Nixon or incoming Cabinet members making their way from one event to another. Eisenhower himself followed custom in advance of the noontime inaugural ceremony today in front of the majestic Capitol building. He remained in his hotel suite, away from pre-inaugural festivities, adding a few last-minute flourishes to his inaugural address. Hope for Peace As have so many of these inaugural messages down through the ages, the 15-minute address was expected to dwell on hopes for a peaceful, prosperous world in the momentous years ahead. Later on, after he has settled himself in the presidential office, Eisenhower plans to spell out oath of office at noon, Eisenhower's term begins. With his right hand erect, his left on his West Point Bible and on another used by George Washington in the first inauguration in 1789, Eisenhower will repeat after Chief Justice Vinson: "I, Dwight D. Eisenhower, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Hope for Peace As have so many of these inaugural messages down through the ages, the 15-minute address was expected to dwell on hopes for a peaceful, prosperous world in the momentous years ahead. Later on, after he has settled himself in the presidential office, Eisenhower plans to spell out policies and programs in his own State of the Union message to Congress. Today, the President and Eisenhower make the switch, one in one direction, one in the other, between private life and the presidency. It is a reversal of roles in another way, too. Four years ago, Dwight D. Eisenhower rode in the Truman inaugural parade—and got a tremendous hand from the crowds. And that night, Eisenhower and his wife Mamie visited the presidential box at the inaugural ball and chatted for several minutes with the Truman. Truman as Escort Now the last official act of the outgoing President will be to escort his successor to the inaugural ceremony. Automatically, at noon, the Truman term expires.

In the evening, it’s off in white tie and tails to a pair of mammoth inaugural balls. For the parade, half a million happy visitors and perhaps as many Washingtonians are expected to cheer the general on his way. For the balls, only a few thousand can be admitted, and only by special invitation. For millions who can't make it to Washington, the story will go out in picture and sound over all media works.

Are You A Hitch-Hiker? By FRANK E. BUTTERWORTH Pastor, White Temple Methodist Church Arnold Toynbee, the great historian, has called ours a "cutflower civilization," removed from its roots. I would add another simile: that ours is a generation of hitch-hikers, riding on the other man's drive! The scores of families moving into new homes in the subdivisions surrounding Anaheim would hesitate greatly to come into this community if there were no churches, no Christian ethics, no schools or hospitals provided because Christian people care about what happens to persons. Yet it is amazing how readily we are willing to accept all the benefits of a Christian civilization, and even how lustily we can yell down Godless communism, while all the while we personally refuse to give either time or money to extend these benefits to all people thru the worldwide mission 'of the Christian church of our choice! We want the church's influence, but we don't want to actively support the church. We are like those income-tax evaders who want all the services and protection which the government can give, without being asked to pay for it. Are you a hitch-hiker, accepting the fruits of our American way of life without ever digging about the roots of our civilization? Are you riding on other peoples' push?
