(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is
anofher of a series of stories by
the Washington bureau of the
Associated Press discussing
some of the tradition behind
next Weednesday's inauguration
of President Roosevelt.)
WASHINGTON — (#) — There's
a tradition about inauguration par
ades__like the U. S. mail, football
games and shows they “must go
on.”
So the thousands who gather in
Washington Wednesday for Presi
dent Roosevelt’s second inaugura
tion may reasonably expect to see
the full spectacle despite possible
rain, snow or sub-zero weather. -
“We say the parade must go on,”
said an official of the inaugural
committee. “Of course,” a 20 foot
snow or something like that could
stop it, but we don’t have 20-foot
snows here.”
There will be about 10,000 per
song in the big display and it will
take them approximately two hours
to pass in review before President

LOWLANDS FLOODED
CHICAGO — {#) — Rain-swol
len streams surged over their banks
in the middle west and east today,‘
flooding lowlands and menacing a
wide expanse of territory froml
Missouri to Pennsylvania.
Torrential rains which reachedl
cloudburst proportions created the:
most acute flood conditions in yeare
in many communities. Streams}
approached or reacned flood stage
in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana,
Missouri and Illinois.
Forecastg of colder weather rais
ed hopes for abatement of rains in
some sections. Meanwhile, many
families prepared to evacuate their
homes if indicated rises in river
stages materialized.
More than 100 families near
Hamilton, Ohio, & like number in
Poplar Bluff, Mo., 75 in Williams
ville, Mo., and hundreds in Indiana
fled from their homes yesterday.
Schools Closed

waters in some southern Indiana

Chiefly mllit.ary, with Annapolis
midshipmen and West Point cadets
ag well as Army, Navy and Marine
units, the parade nevertheless will
have a fair scattering of civmanl
participants. Each governor wll)‘
be allowed three automobiles for
himself and his aides and friends.|
In addition there will be 400 CCC:
boyg and 200 boy and girl benefi
ciaries of the National Youth Ad
‘ministration.
Along the route grandstands
covered and walled against the
mid-winter chill, will accommodate
40,000 spectators at $3:50 to $lO
each. The revenue goes to defray
expenses of the inaugural celebra
rtion, which Washingtonians are
‘underwrltlng to the extent of SIOO,-
000.
} There was a parade at the very
|first inauguration, held in New
York City in 1789 when George
Washington took office.
Historiansg disagree, but some say
the tall, freckled and democratic
'Thomas Jefferson would have no
inaugural parade; just walkea
across the field from his boarding
house to the then domeless capitol.

Rebels Drive on Toward
Malaga; Italy, Germany
Await British Action
(By the Associated Press)
Hard-fought war fired Spain’s
south coast today. On the interna
tional scene, Italy and Germany
made British entrance into an anti
communist bloc the price tag for
a strict ‘hands off Spain” pledge.
Twenty thousand fascist fighters
paced by cavalry charge, advanced
eastward from [Estepona toward
Malaga, the Spanish government’'s
lone important seaport on the
southwestern Mediterranean shore
They took Estepona in a furious,
48-hour battle prolenged by gov
ernment air attacks on fascist war
ships, but today, driving to the
edge of Marabella, they faced a
stout defense and a socialist coun
ter-attack.
In Rome, qualified persons said
Italy and Germany would be sorely
tempted to help the Spanish fas
cists openly if Britain failed to en
ter an anti-Bolshevist alliance
France also would be so approach
ed, it was stated, but the fascist
powers felt it was most important
to get Britain's adherence first.
Accelerating Italo-German plans
for Europe and for Spain were the
current conferences between Col.
Gen. Hermann Wilhelm Goering
Germany’s first mmister, and Il
Duce in Rome. -
Official London, which has stout
ly and consistently held Britain
must echew both semmunism and
fascism, looked coldly upon re
ports of the Italo-German anti
communist invitation.
French political sources called it
a “trap” to isolate Soviet Russia
