HARDING ASKS THAT
INAUGURAL CEREMONY
PLAN BE. .ABANDONED
Marlon, 0.. Jan. 10. In
the interest of national
thrift. President-elect Hard
ing tonight requested officials
arranging for his inaugura
tion to abandon all plana for
an inaugural cremony.-
The President-elect made
lis decision after conference
with severs! of his party
leaders, to whom he express
ed vigorously his repugnance
to any show of extravagance.
The need for National econ
omy and thrift is - one of
which he has spoken many
times publicly, and the criti
cism in Congress over pro
posed appropriations for the
inauguration have made a
deep impression' on his mind.
Just how far Mr. Hard
ing's action actually will cur
tail' the ' ceremonies ls"un-"
certain. ' It .is taken for
granted that at least the in
augural, ball, which .disap
peared from inaugural
