SIMS Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON, The money wasted at a presidential inaug uration would buy little Willie a lot of buckwheat cakes. The re porter who covers the event won ders if the expenditure is really worth it. Of course much of the money spent, for Reserved par ade seats, etc.,. is paid by pur chasers of tickets. But Congress throws in a few hundred thousand dollars for the day and that is paid by John Q. Much of this money goes for the erection of elaborate stands and ' platforms at', the. Capitol, This year a stink was raised on that . score when someone claimed that the money wasn't very wisely spent But inaugurations . come only every four years and Congress follows tradition and provides a real blowout. The country bump kins, who perhaps see the show but once in a lifetime, get a bang out of the trappings, and the big parade, but some of them too must wonder whether the inauguration couldn't be pull ed off at less cost.

The sensible thing to do is to visit your doctor periodically for a complete checkup. The doctor's examination may well dispel your fears and anxieties ycu may have concerning your heart. Should he detect somethig wrong, his early diagnosis will enable him to he!p you live a long useful life. Medical science can do more for cardiac conditions than ever before.

M,... y v - A BUTTON-SIZE NUCLEAR BATTERY Five years of research has resulted in an atomic- powered battery which utilizes what was once considered a nuclear waste product as its power source. The tiny battery will deliver power over at least a five-year period. It is the forerunner, gupposedly, of batteries for use. in radios, guided missiles, hearing aids and even wrist watches. Joint developers Walter Kidde Laboratories and the Elgin National Watch Company stress that more research will be necessary before something like an atomic watch will be possible. Pro jnethium 147, the power source, emits fast-moving rays which are trapped in a specially designed phosphor, converting them to "atomic light".. The light is captured by a photo-cell and auto--matically transformed into energy. ' it. shoud be somewhere. There are those who argue that the Canltol crrounds would suffice One President contracted pneu- txth, ho Wat ' stands monia and died after standing But the Senators, Congressmen, out, in ine open too long on m- justices, Cabinet officers; etc., ausuiai uajr.m ic .mucreeumj etc ; and their wives, etc:, etc., and the press, etc., etc., must have place to seat their bohunk- ses while the thousands of others are finding a place and time to seat theirs And that builds up into a big circle. So, for a ceremony last ing only a few minutes, the work and expenditure runs into con siderable proportions. Workmen have been laboring on the in augural stands for months. Women have been buying clothes to wear. Some have been scrambling for seats about the only ones who find attend ing an inaugural strictly bus iness are the happy members of the press corps, especially the hard-boiled veterans who have seen 'em come and go for lo! these many years To them it Is merely a case of another long underwear as signment, with all the razzle- dazzle, ceremony and impress- iveness that Inaugurals furnish. But it's all over in just an in terlude. Then the workmen be gin tearing down the stands, the platforms, and all the work and paint and decoration used for a few minutes is undone. Maybe it would be better to have the inaugural in a per manent location where seating accomodations are available, permanently. But it would only save a few hundred thousand and nobody's thought of that yet. First things first. Or maybe the tradition is worth it. Univax might be able to answer the question.
