Jackson Pokress and a resident
of 505 Atlanta Avenue,
North Massapequa, attended
the Inauguration of President
of the United States Richard
M. Nixon on Monday in
Washington, D. C, with full
press credentials having
been received from the U. S.
Senate Gallery. He and his
wife, Wilma, Plainedge High
School Science Teacher, arrived
at the nation's Capitol
on Saturday along with what
seemed like half of the
United States. They had a
room at the Statler Hilton

release included such news
announcements as " Mrs.
Fina Sanchez ( Nixon's cook)
brought off the plane that
arrived at Andrews Air Force
Base at 4: 42 on Sunday —
the Nixon's two dogs — Pasha,
a yorkshire terrier, and
Vicky, a poodle. They were
met by Yuki, President Johnson's
mongrel. Traphes Bryant,
White House electrician,
and caretaker of Johnson's
dog, introduced Yuki to
Pasha and Vicky and then
took charge of all three dogs
to take them back to the
White House. Bryant asked
