WASHINGTON President
Truman stood hatless in a chill
wind yesterday and told an in
augural audience that America
must continue and expand its cru
sade for peace and freedom the
world over. He called for what
he described as "a bold new pro
gram" of economic help for
peace-loving peoples, and he
branded communism as a breeder
of war which threatened the aims
of his administration.
A seven-mile-long inaugural
parade, the most spectacular in
the nation's history, followed Mr.
Truman's address. The president
rode in an open car at the head
of the procession. An armada of
700 Air Force and Navy planes
thundered across the sky to sig
nal the stait of the march.
Comments on Speech

Truman's proposal for a new
program of foreign economic de
velopment stirred up widely div
ergent comments by members of
Congress. Typical of its critics
was Senator Harry Byrd, Virgin
ia Democrat. He said the plan
would not be wise or practical.
Sen. Joseph O'Mahoney (D.
Sen. Joseph O'Mahoney (D.
Wyo.) described the speech as
a "proclamation of.economic free
dom." Sen. Homer Capehart (R.
Ind.) commented that the pro
posal sounded like a substitute
for the Marshall Plan.
