By BILL BILLITER Courier-Journal Political Editor FRANKFORT, Ky.

In an inaugural speech that stressed "service to the people," Gov. Wendell Hampton Ford yesterday declared that under his administration, every agency of state government "must justify its right to exist." Speaking to a rain dampened, but enthusiastic, inauguration crowd in front of the Capitol here, Democrat Ford re-emphasized his plans to reorganize state government. He said reorganization of state government would be one of several ways he hopes "to motivate the (state) agencies der a full measure of services to you," Ford told the crowd. Ford formally took the oath of office as Kentucky's 49th governor after delivering his inaugural address in mid-afternoon. Ford's swearing-in climaxed a "drizzly but dynamic day of colorful inauguration events here.

Highlights of the day included: An inaugural speech by Kentucky's new lieutenant governor, Democrat Julian Carroll. Carroll pledged his support to Ford, but said he reserves the right "to disagree without being disagreeable." A valedictory speech by former Gov. Louie B. Nunn. Republican Nunn, who inherited a $24 million deficit when he took office four years ago, stressed in his speech that he is leaving Ford a surplus in the state treasury.

For Kentucky Democrats, the day was a joyous celebration of recapturing the reins of state government after a four-year absence during the Nunn administration. The crowd was happily and una bashedly partisan, and there was a faint, but noticeable, chorus of boos from one section of the crowd when Nunn was introduced. Few Republicans were to be seen.

The GOP lost every statewide office and even had its membership in the legislature whittled down in the Nov. 2 Democratic election sweep led by Ford and Carroll. Although a chilling rain fell as the platform ceremonies began about 2:30 p.m. yesterday, the precipitation soon ended. Ford spoke under a leaden but rain-free sky.

The new governor's speech covered many points, but the general theme was that government exists only to serve people. Ford said the people, in electing him, had indicated that they expect state government "to stretch the tax dollar." Ford said he would make sure this is done. He also pledged to "restore confidence in government," to see that the farmer is "once more remembered," to pursue a re-evaluation of the state's educational programs and to seek ways to stimulate the economy. But Ford said the people also have an obligation in the improvement of state See FORD Back page, col. 3, this section perform "in the people's best interest" will be cut back or abolished.

Chhamb is 30 miles northwest of the major Indian town of Jammu. In other developments: An official Pakistani spokesman in Rawalpindi said 305 civilians had been killed and 50 injured since Monday by Indian air force bombing and strafing in both parts of Pakistan. In Calcutta, officials of India's West Bengal border state said preparations were being made for the return of nearly 10 million refugees driven into India this year by internal strife in East Pakistan. White House officials in Wahington said President Nixon personally told Indira Gandhi, India's prime minister, in early November that U.S.-backed efforts toward a peaceful settlement of East Pakistan's future showed promise. They said India resorted to armed force without justification before the initiatives were exhausted.

HAUTE Courier-Journal staff Writer FRANKFORT, was a loud and brassy parade. Inside the reviewing box, Wendell Ford rested from his long trip the trip which took him from Jaycce politics to the governor's office. A black limousine, moved slowly past the reviewing box.

It was the only limousine in the parade and, appropriately, it carried state Democratic Chairman J. R. Miller, the strong figure in the administration just inaugurated. -As a portent of things to come, also in politicians weave in and out on the platform, almost as if executing a ritualistic political dance in which each encounter has enormous significance. The parade itself had some significances.

In the past it has mirrored the changes in political fortune in Kentucky, and has reflected social changes, too. In the second Chandler inaugural, which occurred shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court ended segregation in schools, there were some integrated bands. And a reporter at the time was driven to report that their presence was absorbed without a tremor. Yesterday there were all kinds of integrated bands.

And the current American social revolution was announced in the steel-rimmed glasses and fluffy hair worn by boys in bands from such unlikely places as Virgie and Johns Creek, Dawson Springs and Lone Oak. Former Gov. Bert T. Combs was standing on the inaugural platform when the Prestonsburg High School band went by playing "Jesus Christ Superstar." Combs reflected on the mountain town from which he and the band both came, and he said with a soft smile, "I always did say Prestonsburg was a progressive little place. I was right, wasn't Combs said he and Chandler argued yesterday about who was the "deadest" politically.

However, the general atmosphere surrounding the parade seemed joyless except for occasional instances such as when former Gov. A. B. Chandler and Auditor Mary Louise Foust arrived in an open car and smilingly tossed new copper coins to the crowd. Or when newly elected Secretary of State Thelma Stovall, braving the weather and riding on the top of the back seat of an open car, waved cheerily and constantly to the onlookers and generated the only real enthusiasm in the early part of the inaugural festivities.

"How you doin'?" she asked over and over, stretching toward the well-wishers with a husky handshake. Then there were Eastern Kentucky University President Robert R. Martin and Morehead State University President Adron Poran, who arrived at the inaugural platform together but who split up immediately to work the crowd. They and other state university presidents later were seen competing for the attention of Donald Bradshaw, who will serve as commissioner of finance in the Ford administration.

19, ending a 30-year career. Hyde declined to discuss his reaasons. However, he did add that he will have more to say when he officially retires. Deep divisions between Hyde and some members of the Police Department developed before Mayor Frank W. Burke ousted Hyde in early October.

Hyde has indicated he was very disturbed about the way Burke treated him and the remarks Burke made about him. On the day of his retirement Hyde will be 55, the minimum age at which a policemen is entitled to a regular pension. The decision to leave the force apparently was made weeks ago. Hyde said he informed the police pension board about two weeks ago that he was leaving. Friction between Hyde and Burke became evident about a year ago when Burke abolished the vice squad.

Hyde contended that he hadn't been fully consulted. Hyde then had several sharp disagree- See EX-CHIEF Back page, col. 6, this section Since his removal as chief, Hyde has been on vacation leave from the department. He reverted to his civil-service rank of lieutenant when he was removed as chief. In declining to discuss his decision to leave, Hyde noted that he is a city employe until Dec.

However, he previously has said he received job offers from his two brothers one who builds racing cars in North Carolina and the other who owns an automobile dealership in Glasgow, Ky.
