- Radio INAUGURATION BROADCAST TO COVERNATION Plans for ‘Biggest, Best’ Radio Service in U. S. History in Making. v By Timet Special WASHINGTON, Jan. B.—Preparations, have begun both by government officials and experts of the various radio chains, for broadcasting of the inauguration of Herbeit Hoover on March 4. As each national event comes along, predictions are made that the broadcast will be bigger and better than ever before, and the broadcast of March 4 is expected to be no exception. It was said that on election night the broadcast would be far superior to that of four years previous, and that was a fact. The complete coverage will include the placing of announcers at various points in Washington who will take up the line of march and the ceremonies as they develop in their various localities. This was most successfully tried out when Colonel Lindbergh arrived in Washington from his flight to France. Curtis to Have* Share An innovation which it is hoped tan be carried out in connection with the swearing in of the VicePresident in the senate chamber iust prior to the swearing in of the .President, is the vice-presidential ceremony, which has never been broadcast. The suggestion was made at the J ast inauguration that this ceremony be broadcast, but it was none other than the Vice-President-elect, Mr. Curtis, who was at that time in charge of the arrangements at the Capitol, who refused to have this done. It is believed, however, that he may change his mind this time; in fact, he will have nothing to do with the arrangements this year. They will be in charge alienator George Moses of New Hampshire. President Sees Ceremony It is not generally known that prior to the swearing in of the President on the east front of the capitol he is taken into the senate chamber, where he witnesses the swearing in of the Vice-President and the senators. The whole assemblage then forms a procession and proceeds along the corridors of the Capitol until they emerge at the east front, where the President takes the oath of office. It is the proceedings in the senate chamber which the broadcasters are now proposing to put on the air. Una the present plans, announ< s will be stationed at various points along Pennsylvania avenue on the route of the parade, and as the President and the Presidentelect drive down the famous avenue th,e scene will be described to the country over the air.
