PAGE TWO I Sunday, January 2J, IM1 Inauguration Scrapbook THE SCENE AS KENNEDY BECAME.35TH PRESIDENT General View Of Capitol Plaza; Inaugural Stand Is At Left Come wondered President Kennedy actually had his hand on the Bible when he took the oath of office (he did); Some wondered why came up from the speaker's stand (it was caused either by a small stove under the stand or by a short in the motor that raised and low. ercd the stand to suit the height of the several speakers). Some wondered what Eisenhower and Kennedy talked about at the inaugural ceremony (D-Day in Europe and some details on running the White House). But the thousands of Denton area residents who watched the inauguration on television Friday all had one thing in common: they had no difficulty in knowing that it was cold in Washington just about as cold (15 degrees) as the weather get in Denton early Saturday morning. NEW BIDS OFFERED BY CASTRO HAVANA (API--Prime Ministe Fide! Caslro's offer to let bygone be bygones and start fresh with President Kennedy was accom panied by such conditions tha many here feel it will receive scant welcome in Washington.

But most of the Cuban prim minister's supporters cheered hi offer to "begin anew" as mon proof of Castro's desire for peace and understanding with all na tions. Castro made the peace bid in a 2-hour and "demobiliza lion Speech" Friday night to thousands of millitiamen sum moned to protect Cuba against an invasion from the United States that never came. An analysis Saturday showed Castro is laying down what are believed here to beompossible demands for peace with the Kennedy administration. His asking price for a new start is complete renunciation by the United States of all forms of support for whatever groups here or abroad oppose his leftist regime. "The president of the United States in taking possession (of his office) talked about 'beginning Caslro said.

"We for our part also say. Let's begin anew. But he added Cuba will judge the Kennedy administration by deeds rather than words. "We want to know if they (the United States) will continue dropping arms by parachute to counterrevolutionaries," he said, "if they will continue maintaining military training camps for Cuban exiles, if they will continue organizing mercenary armies against MS-" There was no hint that Cuba was in any way responsible for the diplomatic break with Washington and no suggestion that Castro's own words and policies contributed (o the rupture between two nice friendly nations.

The explosions followed by 40 hours a rebel ambush on a mountain road south of Algiers, where French army chaplain, four nurses and two Moslem auxiliary soldiers were slain.

At Blida, southwest of Algiers, large group of young Moslem men and women invaded an open air market Saturday and wrecked the stands, then moved on to an European housing quarter. A shot, apparently fired from one of the apartments, wounded a 14- year-old Moslem girl. Cars were stoned and several of their i ers were hurt. Soldiers moved in and restored a tense calm. Nightly riots in the Moslem suburbs of Algiers and increasing insecurity on highways, where cars are stoned and Europeans attacked, added terror to the picture of Algeria in the seventh year of the rebellion.
