OFF TO THE BALL—In the upper photo, the Eisenhowers, President Dwight D., his son John, Mrs. John Eisenhower, Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower, and her mother, Mrs. Elivera Doud, leave for last night's gala inaugural ball after a full inauguration day. In the lower photo, Vice-President Richard Nixon, his wife Pat, and his mother Frances Nixon, arrive at the ball.
Republicans Whoop it up at First GOP Inaugural Ball in Twenty Long Years
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (FP) Republicans showed up in their most dazzling formal finery tonight at the two balls which furnished a social climax to the inauguration of the first GOP president in 20 years.
Jewels glittered everywhere. President Eisenhower and his wife, Mamie, sparkled with all the rest. So did Vice President Nixon and Pat.
Two-Place Ball
The new chief executive and first lady made an appearance at 10:45 p.m., EST, at one section of the double-barreled social event, in National Guard armory. That was a stop on the way to the other ball at the Georgetown university gymnasium. The Nixons, scheduled to divide their time the other way, came in at the armory before the Eisenhowers started their cross-town run to the gymnasium.
Throngs of GOP faithful—and a sprinkling of Democrats—set up a mighty roar of acclamation as the Eisenhowers stepped into a light gleaming on their balcony.
The marine band brought proceedings to an abrupt halt with "Hail to the Chief." Afterward Eisenhower waved a program mentarily until Jeanette MacDowd began the National Anthem.
The general was in white and tails, but many of the guards who paid $12 apiece for tickets were wearing tuxedos.
Mrs. Eisenhower wore her renoir pink gown shimmering with thousands of rhinestones. Gloves and evening bag matched the gown.
For Mamie there was an enormous bouquet of gold roses.

SACRAMENTO (CNS) — As usual, there are more lobbyists than legislators qualified to do business at the 1953 session of the state legislature, according to records of the senate lobby committee.
Normally, there are 40 senators and 80 assemblymen, making a total of 120 legislators. One assembly seat is vacant for the time being.
Expect 300
But there are 138 qualified "legislative advocates," according to the senate journal, and officials of the lobby committee said that when the session reconvenes next month, this total probably will jump to 300.
Latest lobbyist to seek credentials was Sam Collins, former speaker of the assembly, who asks the senate committee for a card as the representative of Union Oil Company.
Collins thus follows several other speakers into the lobbying business, notably Walter Little, Los Angeles, now representing the railroads; Ted Craig, also of Los Angeles, representing gas concerns, and Gordon Garland, reportedly handling a trucking account.
The lobbyists who have not as yet qualified for advocate cards, according to Louis Boli, secretary of the senate committee, for the most part are being required to bring their expense filings up to date. Boli said most of those who have not qualified have not filed between sessions as to whether or not they have spent funds influencing legislation.
It was also explained that failure of the committee to issue a card does not stop an individual from lobbying, according to a ruling of the legislative counsel bureau. The bureau held, officials said, that the card is merely a courtesy.
Quietus Placed on Santa Ana Horns
If you want to test your horn in Santa Ana, do it before Feb. 20.
The new anti-noise ordinance, adopted by the Santa Ana city council goes into effect on the February date.
It prohibits loud noises from practically every source that it's makers could think of. Violation of the ordinance constitutes a misdemeanor, punishable by either fine or jail sentence, or both.
Pornographic Exhibits in Mitman-Inga Borg Trial Embarrass Jurors
Embarrassed jurors in Superior court yesterday viewed a half-dozen enlarged photographs depicting intimate love scenes between the blond Hollywood model, Inga Borg (Ingeborg Schnitzler) 26, and Richard H. Mitman, 36, who are on trial for a sex offense at a South Laguna motel.
Mitman himself was the photographer, and the girl later charged in Los Angeles that he threatened to publish the 72 pictures he took unless she would redeem them, one by one, by furnishing him a virtuous girl for each picture.
As one result, Mitman served a jail term in Los Angeles for vagrancy, and as another result, Orange county authorities discover ed that the girl's charges were based upon events that took place in this county, last Sept. 20. They accordingly brought the charge now being heard.
Dep. Dist. Attorney James Devine introduced the photographs in evidence. The claims that she was forced by Mitman's threats to pose for the Mitman, who is conducting his own defense, denies these three He contends that the girl posed voluntarily and later tried to blackmail him.
Mitman, who tried to obstruct dismissal of the charge against him on the ground that he had been once in jeopardy, by reason of the Los Angeles prosecutor then added a plea of insanity his defense.

Good Wishes Ike!
In effect, the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES said yesterday, "I, Dwight D. Eisenhower, take thee, the United States of America, to be my lawful wedded — — —"
And there began a joining of faith, trust and wisdom that, God willing, no men will put asunder—the faith and trust millions of Americans have placed in Dwight D. Eisenhower—the wisdom they believe God has given him.
The prayers of millions are with IKE. His job is great—a task given to him by DIVINE guidance. We believe—we pray—that divine guidance will help him return us, once again, to the simplicity of living—to the faith—on which the strength of this nation is founded.
In the Book of Ruth it says, "Entreat me not to leave you or to return from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people and your GOD shall be my GOD. Where you die I shall die and there I shall be buried. May the LORD do so to me and more also if even death parts me from you."
The task ahead of you. Mr. President is great

Supers Hold up Decisions Pending BP Election
Chester R. Ploeser Jr.'s application for permit to construct a shopping center, 20-unit motel and 40-unit trailer park at Grand Ave. and Orangethorpe Blvd., and L. A. Moore's proposal to enlarge the Buena Park post office building, were held up one week by the county supervisors Tuesday to see whether Buena Park became a city.
If Buena Park voters, that day, approved the proposal to incorporate, the new city should decide whether the requested variance permits should be granted, the supervisors said.
Ploeser's improvement is planned on a 15-acre tract at the southwest corner of Grand and Orangethorpe. Moore plans a 35 foot by 85 foot addition to the post office building at the northwest corner of Fifth st. and Fullerton ave.
The supervisors approved a conditional permit for Frank C. Ferriera for expansion of his dairy on the west side of Walker st., north to Orange ave., Cypress district. Ferriera does not intend to increase his herd, but will add 7½ acres of pasture.
Also approved was the permit for the Mexican Methodist church of Stanton to convert a dwelling into a Sunday school classroom, and erect a new parsonage next to the church, at Cedar st. and Central ave.

Voting nearly two to one for incorporation, residents of Buena Park yesterday decided they’d rather be a city than a country community.
In addition to that momentous decision, they voted in nearly the same proportion to elect the city manager type of government and also named five men to sit on the city council. On the basis of “incomplete but conclusive returns,” to quote Chamber of Commerce President Paul Kroesen, the following men were elected to the city council: Calvin J. Culp, Grady Travis, Tom Stelzner, Joseph Webber and Garner McComber.
Nation’s Newspapers Laud Mike’s Inaugural Address
By The Associated Press
President Dwight D. Eisenhower inaugural address brought a kick outpouring of editorial comment — most of it laudatory — from the nation’s press.
Here are excerpts from editorials throughout the country:
Kansas City Star: Under the Mike’s Speech To Congress Inspiring’
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (UP)—President Eisenhower’s inaugural press was received with com-
new Eisenhower code we would no longer be a nation that calls the tune because it is prepared to pay the piper.
Detroit Free Press: Once more was sounded the call to the crusade which Dwight Eisenhower proclaimed months ago and which stirred the American people as nothing has in years.
Dynamic Impression
Christian Science Monitor: There was an overall impression of more dynamic effort to combat communism, and emphasis on the fact that all domestic affairs are vitally affected by the cold war, and an indication that Asia will get as much attention as Europe. But the key theme was faith in freedom.
Los Angeles Times: The rules of conduct are no tall new rules and they do not constitute a sharp break with the past. They
The vote on the incorporation issue was 1234 in favor, 696 against. Of approximately 3000 eligible voters in eight precincts, 1134 voted for the city manager type of government, 696 voted against it. The total vote was 1983, giving about a two-thirds turnout of eligible voters. Kroesen said. Although Buena Park’s eight precincts have a total registration, Kroesen explained, the fact that portions of them lie outside the area proposed for incorporation reduced the total number of voters to about 3000.
Canvass Jan. 26
The election returns will be canvassed Jan. 26 by the county board of supervisors, after which the results will be certified to California Secretary of State Frank Jordan. After the election has been duly filed in Jordan’s office, the City of Buena Park will become a legal reality.
The area to be incorporated into the new city limits includes about five square miles with an assessed valuation of $5,000,000 and 6000 population.
Lake's Speech To Congress Inspiring
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (UP)—President Eisenhower's inaugural press was received with commendation and interest by most members of Congress today.
Republican and Democrat alike raised it as "inspiring," "a message of hope and faith," and "a war call to duty."
Some legislators complained, however, that it dealt in generality. They called for a more specific program.
Great Beginning
Senator Taft of Ohio, who lost to Eisenhower for the presidential nomination, called it "a hat and inspiring beginning, a hat and inspiring speech."
Sen. Carlson R-Kan, one of Eisenhower's closest advisers, said the President had reserved all of recommendations on domestic affairs for his state of the union message, to be sent to Congress.
Carlson described the speech, as not only a statesmanlike one, but speech with vision and one that would inspire faith in the future nation and the world.
Most of the interest on Capitol Hill was aroused by the President's enunciation of foreign policy principles.
U.N. Reference
I'm particularly pleased by his reference to the United Nations as hope of the world," said Sen. Roy R-NH.
Senator Wiley R-Wis, new chairman of the Senate Foreign relations committee, described the speech as "magnificent." Democrats liked the speech too. It's very encouraging to see the President will carry out wise policies of the previous administration that have prevented global war," said Rep. Walter Pa.
Rep. Richards D-SC, top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs committee, called the address "a clear and courageous exposition of what our foreign policy should be and what it has been during the past administration."
Dynamic Impression
Christian Science Monitor: There was an overall impression of more dynamic effort to combat communism, and emphasis on the fact that all domestic affairs are vitally affected by the cold war, and an indication that Asia will get as much attention as Europe. But the key theme was faith in freedom.
Los Angeles Times: The rules of conduct are no tall new rules and they do not constitute a sharp break with the past. They have codified foreign policy, so to speak, and they gave Americans a new line of reference. President Eisenhower does not see the United States retiring from world leadership, but he does not conceive of leadership as meandering along at the head of a hired claque.
San Diego Union: President Eisenhower's address properly was general in content, but it laid down a frame work which leaves no room for doubt but that American policy will be built on strength.
True Humility
Portland, Me., Evening Express: Eisenhower spoke like a great man, a leader with true humility... We have had a long, long period of waiting to hear such a voice.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat: Dwight Eisenhower has now begun his term as President with a clarion call of faith, the equal of which has rarely or never been observed in the White House since Lincoln.
Chicago Tribune: So far as the intellectual content of the address is concerned, it might have been written at Mr. Truman's order, for it amounted to little more than indorsement of the foreign policies of the outgoing administration.
Profound Faith
The San Francisco Chronicle: The new President's words demonstrated a profound understanding of the nature of the world today and a profound faith in the capacity of this nation to perform its role honorably and effectively.
The Portland Oregonian: The nine fixed principles which President Eisenhower defined are a guarantee to the people of this nation and to the countries allied with us in the quest for peace that the United States will not falter in its leadership; it will not betray them; it will meet the full measure of world responsibility.

Western Europe Salutes Nation's New President
LONDON, Jan. 20 (UP)—Western Europe saluted President Eisenhower tonight as an international champion of peace and greeted with relief his assurances the United States accepts the free world's leadership.
The general feeling was the new Republican administration would follow the Truman policy in the foreign field—and that policy was generally liked in Free Europe.
Europeans who know Eisenhower better than any American who ever became President appeared ready to line up behind the leadership he promised.
Encouragement
Warm words of encouragement and confidence came from leaders of nations, ranging from the Germany his Allied armies conquered to anti-Stalin Communist Yugoslavia.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of the Federal West German Republic sent the new President congratulations in these words: "May God give you strength to fulfill the great tasks which lie before you for the sake of all peoples who, like the American people, cherish peace in freedom above everything."
Marshal Tito, new first president of Yugolsavia, said:
"I am persuaded that the relations between our two countries will develop in the direction of increased mutual friendship and cooperation in an effort to prevent all attempts at aggression, as well as for the aim of strengthening peace in the world."

Influence
By the Rev JOHN KIMBALL SAVILLE
Rector, St Michael's Episcopal Church
Everyone has influence. Each one of us, in ways that we do not realize, and by methods that we never dream of, influences, sometimes vitally, the lives of other people. Those of you who are parents know the importance of your unconscious influence. When your baby is born, he is only afraid of two things—falling and a loud noise. Most other fears he learns from you. When he is young, he will play with Protestante, Catholics and Jews, Chinese, Japanese, Mexicans, Negroes and Caucasians without the slightest hesitation. Most of the prejudices which he develops against other children of God will come from you. When your child is young, he is for the most part a selfish little animal—he reaches for this, he cries for that. When he develops unselfishness, it is because he has seen it in you. As your youngster grows, he is neutral in regard to religion. What he hears you say, what he sees you do about God and the church; and how often he observes you at your prayers makes all the difference.
But just how can we accomplish this? How can we make the unconscious influence which we all have for good or for ill—more of a positive influence for Christ and His people everywhere? No one can tell you exactly. If there were a simple, easy formula, the world would be perfect by now.
The best advice is the motto of the United Movement of the Church's Youth: "Know the Christ and make Him known." If we permeate our personalities with love for Christ, with appreciation of what He did when He was on earth and what His example and teachings have done for lonely and suffering people ever since—if we really begin to pray and to study our Bibles quietly and privately, we can more and more know the Christ, and as a result, irresistibly and inevitably help to make Him known.
