Sidelights Set Tone for Inauguration
Washington—(U.P.)-The expected housing shortage for inaugural visitors has failed to materialize. At last reports, 14,000 beds in rooming houses and private homes were still available. Hotels, however, were jammed.
Police said the sight-seeing crowds yesterday were the greatest since the first Roosevelt inauguration in 1933. An estimated 300,000 persons visited tourist attractions.
--this every 20 years."
Capitol police spent the day before inauguration shooing persons away from the grandstands at the site of the swearing-in ceremonies.

Rep. Melvin Price of Illinois used black tape to conceal the picture of vice president Richard M, Nixon on Mr. Price's inaugural license tags, leaving only the portrait of Mr. Eisenhower.
The 12,500 special inaugural match books were certain to become collectors' items. A 1949 Truman inauguration match book now sells for $11.
"One," said Mr. Price, a staunch Democrat, "is enough."

A district resident who offered his hammock for an inaugural visitor got no takers.
They found that most of them were guests at the ceremonies trying to find their seats in advance.
Vermont's float in the inaugural parade depicts an atom never split, a reference to the state's vote which has always been Republican. Green mountaineers wanted to put, "Always voted Republican" on the float but this was rejected as being too partisan.

Washington — (U.P.)— Republican and Democratic congressmen generally hailed President Eisenhower's inaugural message today as a magnificent creed to guide the new administration in the troubled days ahead.
Most of the GOP lawmakers couldn't find enough adjectives. They called the speech "clear and courageous," "inspiring," "dramatic," the "hallmark of eloquence."
"The message deals in generalities" said Rep. H. R. Gross (R-IA). "I'm waiting to see him get down to specifies."
But some, sharp critics of any policies remotely resembling those of the Truman administration, gave only qualified endorsement.
Sen. Styles Bridges (R-N.H).
Senate president pro tempore, said:
"With the simplicity which is the hallmark of eloquence, President Eisenhower set forth the creed of his administration."
Other comment:
Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn.)—“A dramatic and challenging statement of our declaration of faith . . . (that) should leave no doubt in anyone's mind as the President's and the nation's determination to fulfill our responsibility of world leadership.”
Rep. Charles Halleck (R-Ind.), majority floor leader—"It was a magnificent presentation dealing with the problems confronting the country."
Rep. James P. Richards (D-S.C.) — "It is a clear and courageous exposition of what our foreign policy should be and what it has been during the past administration."
House minority leader Sam Rayburn (D-Tex.)” I agree with President Eisenhower that we should continue to make ourselves strong. “

Paris Cafe Sets Scene For 'Merry Widow'
Bv JERRY KNUDSON
The most famous restaurant of Paris—perhaps of the world—for the past 60 years is the fabulous Maxim's, the scene around which "The Merry Widow" whirls its merry way.
Maxim's, scene of the entire third act, has been called "the world's most fabled pleasure dome." It has a glittering past now mellowed with nostalgia.
The Franz Lehar operetta will be presented by University Theater Feb. 9, 10, 11, and 13. The merry widow, Sonia, will alternately be played by Jeanne Aldridge, assistant to University Theater, and Gretta Reetz, fine arts sophomore. Dale Moore, fine arts junior, will portray the dashing Princess Danilo.
Where once the merry widow waltzed there are now sedate rhumbas, and the royalty of the past have been replaced with such modern personages as Marlene Dietrich, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Margaret Truman, and Perle Mesta—but Maxim's still retains its red-and-gold lavishness, its bouncy French chorines.
Its turn-of-the-century elegance once was the Parisian playground of Britain's Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII), Belgium's Leopold II, Spain's Alphonso XIII, Argentine gentry, and Russian grand dukes.
It has survived two world wars and one liberation with Mata Hari shiftering in the shadows in World War I, and Goering and Goebbels belching over the cuisine in World War II.
Prince Danilo's theme song captures the frivolity of the famed restaurant:
I go off to Maxim's
I go on to madness.
Where fun and frolic beams.
With all the I chatter,
I laugh and kiss and flatter
Lo Lo. Do Do, Jou Jou.
Clo Clo, Margot, Frou Frou . .
And then the corks go pop.
We dance and never stop.
The ladies smile so sweetly . . .
The ladies same name, at No. 3 Rue Royale near the expansive Place de la Concorde, is located in the heart of the capital's most chic district. Head-waiter Albert awards
tables depending on how important the customers look, and formal dress is required on Friday nights. In the summer the tourists outnumber the natives by a ratio of 10 to 1.
Monsieur Vaudable, a m i b a b l e owner of Maxim's, is reported to have said that Franz Lehar, author of "The Merry Widow," was "the best unprayed press agent we've ever bad."
"You've heard the fable how, after dining here one night, he couldn't pay his bill and promised to write us into his next opus," Monsieur Vaudable continues. "Well, when he was visiting Paris in 1937, we invited him over to have a bite with us. Lehar sent word he was delighted—Maxim's was one place he had never been to!"
"The Merry Widow" was written in the early 1900s.
New York—(U.P.) A lone policeman thwarted a holdup of a fashionable uptown hotel early today and trapped six of seven bandits inside the 16-story building. Police reinforcements captured five of the would-be safecrackers in the hotel beauty salon and a top floor corridor. A sixth was caught on the street after he apparently jumped from a window to escape.
