Roosevelt, standing bare headed while rain pelted relent lessly into his face, prononnesd the prestdental oath today and dedicated his second admialstre- tion to helping the economically unfortunate. Thonaands of his fellow eltt- sens spread across the capltot plaza, too chilled and soggy for prolonged demonstrations of m- thuslasm. Thousands more lined Pennsylvania avenue to see the President pass and watch the parade which followed. 'Police estimated that some 160,000 or 200,000 people taw at least portions of the cere monies. So penetrating was the cold and the downpour that hundreds began leaving capltol plaza soon after Mr. Roosevelt commenced his speech. Those who remained heard only scattered phrases, for the rain, drumming on a canopy of umbrellas, created a clatter that the loudspeaker system could not overcome. The speech was , more than half delivered before there was a murmur of applanne. Then, the President, approaching his climax raised his voice: ”1, see millions whose daily lives in city and on farm contiavo under th4 conditions lahellsd ia- dtaent by a TOKaiSed *001110 so ciety liiji a cMtury ago.

It ia- whether we provide enough'' for those who have too little.” Throughout the address ran a central theme—the Presidents contention that the processes of democracy are capable of meet ing and conquering the nation’s social problems; that the consti tution as It stands, provides a power of government increasing as “th© Intricacies of human re lationships increase.’’ Contrary to precedent, Viea President Garner received tha oath of office as part of the cere mony of inauguratln| the Presi dent.
