S. Funds, To Help Big Negro Families The Board of Aldermen last night took action to get 496 more low-rent public-housing units, primarily tor large Negro families with little income. The apartments would be built with federal funds at an estimated cost of $6,000,000 to $7,000,000.

The aldermen's surprise action came with the unanimous adoption of a resolution by Mayor Broaddus, stating that the need for such housing exists here.

This is the first stop toward getting federal, housing funds. In a letter with the resolution, Broaddus recalled that he and other City officials have been trying to encourage private developers to provide low-cost housing, especially in the South-wick area. Has Given Warnings Broaddus has warned repeatedly that unless new low-rent, low-cost housing is provided by private developers, the City would seek construction of additional public housing. The City already has eight projects four for whites and four for Negroes with a total of 4.459 units. "You and I know that we have spent two years trying to solve this without luck and, therefore, must turn back to (public housing)," Broaddus wrote the aldermen, lie was in Frankfort yesterday for the inauguration of Governor A.

B. Chandler. Louisville real-estate men, builders, and developers have regularly opposed construction of additional public housing. It was expected they would protest the latest plans. Carpenter 'Disappointed' "I'm surprised and disappoint-' ed," said John R.

Carpenter, a leader among real-estate interests and a member of a private corporation set up to redevelop Southwick. He said the corporation is now planning low-rent units for the Southwick area, "units which would pay taxes." But, he added, "I don't know anything that will kill the enthusiasm of groups like ours any more than this decision of the City Administration." N. H. Dosker, Municipal Housing Commission administrator, in a report which Broaddus sent to the aldermen, said he didn't believe private developers could build for large Negro families with low incomes. Ttterly Inconceivable' 'it is utterly inconceivable that private enterprise could build to take care of this type of family at rents they could afford to pay," Dosker wrote.

"If they are to be taken care of at all, public housing is the only answer." Present public-housing projects are not able to take care of such families, Dosker said. In the first place, there arc waiting lists, he said. But more important is the fact that the apartments in the projects simply are not big enough to care for large families. The new ones would have three, four, five, and maybe even six bedrooms, Dosker said. City Has Reservation Dosker said there is little doubt the City, through the housing commission, can obtain the additional apartments.

The City already has an unused federal reservation for the 496 units, but must obtain formal approval for their construction. Dosker noted that the City, in 1949, obtained a federal al- Column 3, Page 23, this section Paris. Next to Judge Ardery is Harry Lee Waterfield, Clinton, who was sworn in as lieutenant governor.

Journal Staff Writer Frankfort, Dec. 13 Governor Chandler told his first press conference this afternoon that education is the most important problem facing his new Administration. "I am not going to fail on that," the Governor said. "I have inherited the state in the 47th position (in education). We can either go down one or we can go up a whole lot.

We are not going down." A woman reporter asked Chandler how he proposed to A full page of pictures on the inauguration is on Page 16, a story on inaugural side lights oil Page 5. finance the State's minimum-foundation program for education. "Honey, you just put the money in the budget. There will be no trouble about that at all. Not the slightest." Cites Campaign Promise Chandler said he had pledged "from every platform in Kentucky" to adequately finance the foundation program.

And that is a pledge he intends to keep, he added. Facing the press and other news representatives for the first time as Governor, Chandler said in response to a question that it is too early to say if he will ask for any tax increases. "I will not be able to determine that until we prepare the budget," he said. Chandler said it is still too early to say definitely what his Administration plans for the State parks. Will Push Conservation But a few minutes earlier, when he announced the appointment of Laban Jackson as commissioner of conservation, he noted that the State has made great strides in park development, "and we hope to make some more." "I almost feel like I'm appointing him (Jackson) to fill a vacancy," he said.

"Parks have done very well, but to the exclusion of a lot of other things we ought to do in the field of conservation. "Under Labe's administration, we expect to do a lot of thinss that have not been done in the past." Ducks Turnpike Question Chandler begged a question on his plans for the Kentucky turnpike by saying: "1 don't know enough about it." "Until I get information, and accurate information, I will not have anything to say about that now," he said. Chandler said he and his new finance commissioner, James W. Martin, are "guessing" at a gen After Big Parade Delays Oath Rites 2 Top Officials Of Slate Sworn In Together Ey HIGH MORRIS Tht Courier-Journal Frankfort Bureau Frankfort, Dec. 13.

Albert Benjamin Chandler, 57-year-old Versailles lawyer-farmer-politician, was sworn in as Governor of Kentucky at 1:57 p.m. today. In an inaugural ceremony splashed with color and gaiety, Chandler and Lieutenant Governor Harry Lee Waterfield, Clinton, stood solemnly together, their right hands raised. Their left hands rested on two sacred books one the oldest known manuscript of the New Testament in Aramic, and the other the Holy Bible used by-Chandler when he was sworn in as Governor 20 years ago. The passage was the fifth chapter of Matthew Christ's Sermon on The Mount.

Chandler and Waterfield stoutly replied "I do," and the crowd roared its approval. The Chandler embraced Judge Ardery, hugged Mrs.

Well-wishers pressed forward to congratulate both the new officials. As Chandler had put it few minutes earlier during liis inaugural address: "Men will little note nor long remember what we say here, but history will record for all time to come the unusual circumstances which surround this occasion." The circumstances had been unusual. They had proved wrong those who had condemned Chandler to political oblivion in 1951 when he was ousted as high commissioner of baseball after six stormy years.

Refused To Fade Away Chandler had been expected to return to law practice at Versailles and gradually fade from public life. Instead, he staged the most remarkable political comeback in Kentucky history. Against the combined opposition of United Stales Senators Alben W. Barklcy and Earle C. Clements and Governor Lawrence W.

and the entire State Administration, Chandler won the Democratic nomination for governor in August, then went on to a record-Column 1, back page, this section a wAlsi f- ft sue vSi fir, m'9 V- FA" fV5X WC i 1- 'hi 1 Ss'SI i i Vetoes Wreck Scheme To Admit 18 lo V.

Inaugural Parade, Biggest Ever, Reflects Personality of Chandler Group Sought To Negotiate For Colonels 3Ieclinfr Is To Select Called Committee By TOMMY FITZGERALD A meeting of some 500 stock pledgers and any prospective buyers has been called lor 2 p.m. today in the grand ballroom of the Seclbaeh Hotel. The group will select a committee to represent it in negotiations with the Boston Red Sox for the purchase of the Louisville baseball franchise.

This action was taken by Ed Doherty, president of the American Association, on a suggestion from a baseball-interested citizen. It was given the warm blessing and the promise of the wholehearted co-operation of the Chamber of Commerce. Resolves Situation It seems to resolve a situation that had plunged some baseball-saving zealots into a bit of despair on Monday. The chamber had announced it had served its purpose as a public pulse-feeling medium and was prepared to move into the background and hand the ball to some committee authorized to act for the stock pledgers. The chamber also said it would have to be up to this committee to make the ultimate decision on whether Louisville's American Association franchise should be saved.

Fulfilled Function The chamber explained it had fulfilled its function as a public-pulse feeler after it had offered the fans an opportunity to pledge to buy stock in a new club and had served as a "clearinghouse" for the pledges. The response of about $90,000 in pledges had convinced members enough enthusiasm had been shown to go ahead but that their organization had reached the limit it could go in its pub-licc-service role. Before stepping into a helping-hand spot on the sidelines, the chamber hoped to interest prominent men among the slock pledgers to serve on the citizens' committee. Hard To Find Men James G. Stewart, chairman of the sports committee of the C.

of was working toward this end yesterday but finding difficulty getting men to serve when the inspiration for the mass meeting seemed to solve the problem lor everybody concerned. The chamber, however, did not feel it should hand-pick the committee because, as Kenneth P. Vinscl, executive vice-president of the C. of pointed out yesterday, the committee then would be the chamber's committee. "The chamber is not an operating company," he said.

The United States and China abstained.

The parade struck a high note of ambition, too. The Shelby County section, for example, was headed by a street-wide sign bearing these magic words in big letters: "White House 1960." And the Grayson County float featured Charley Martin, Clark-son, at the handles of an old-fashioned turning plow with a wooden beam.

A big placard on Martin's back carried this message: 'Tlowing through to the White House in 1960." 'If Mama Says So" Still another float carried a huge picture of Chandler in front, and a similar picture of the White House behind. The slogan was: "Our man Happy is on his way to A trail of footsteps was painted from the picture to the house. But it remained for a float in eral-fund revenue next year of S95.000.000 to $100,000,000. But they will have more definite information soon, he said. Asked About Ambitions One questioner asked Chandler if he had any ambitions "in national legislative office." "Oh, I've been in the national legislature," he said, grinning broadly.

Then what about ambition for a national "executive" office? another questioner chimed in. "No, no. I have no other political ambition now," Chandler replied. There was a slight emphasis on the now. Chandler chuckled as he recalled the punch line of an old joke: "They can go further and do worse, and probably will Look Claim Hacrtv AcUmI for Ike Hour Washington, Dec.

These two units were cheered as loudly as any, and not one murmur of protest was heard or reported from any quarter. The parade was 3 hours forming in North Frankfort. It started at 10 a.m. sharp, and at 1:10 p.m. the last unit chugged past the inaugural stand.

.10 33 It's Colorful, Spectacular By ALLAN M. TROUT Tht Countr-Journal Frankfort Burtsu Frankfort, Dec. 13. The inaugural parade today somehow reflected the fantastic political personality of Governor A. B.

Chandler, in whose honor it ran for 3 hours and 10 minutes. It was the biggest inaugural parade in the history of Kentucky, just as Chandler's November 8 majority of 128,976 was the biggest ever. A crowd estimate would be only a rough guess, but estimates ran as high as 100,000. It was by far the largest crowd that ever invaded Frankfort. Roth Sides Are Lined Both side of the parade route were lined for 14 miles with people standing four and five deep.

There were as many people watching the parade on the town side of the Kentucky River, which divides Frankfort, as there were on the Capitol side. Thousands were crammed into the space in front of the Capitol, Vvhere the inauguration ceremony took place, and on the grounds around the building. Many more were in the Capitol windows. The parade was colorful and spectacular, no less than Chandler's own career of Stale senator, lieutenant governor, United States senator, high commissioner of baseball, and twice Governor. It was gay and tuneful, in full Palace Statement Reassures Britons That Royal Children Believe In Santa Blizzard Hits Northern Plains Tha United Pru London, Dec.

13. Buckingham Talace reassured Britons in an extraordinary statement today that Prince Charles and Princess Anne still believe in Santa Claus. A palace spokesman set the record straight after a London newspaper reported that 7-year-old Charles thinks Santa is a "fraud." The controversy started when the prince and his 5-year-old sister went to see Santa Claus in a London department store yesterday to tell him what they want for Christmas. In reporting the visit some London newspapers said the children were firm believers in Santa, but others said Charles, particularly, was beginning to have doubts. The tabloid Daily Sketch went the furthest and bluntly said, "Prince Charles thinks Santa Is a fraud." "But being a decent sort of chap he didn't let on to his sister.

The Sketch added. "Charles eyed the white-bearded gentleman dubiously, almost with disdain. And then he acted in. that ever-so-polite way that says, 'Don't ask me to believe the old, old story'." The department-store Santa said (he royal children "still believe" and he was quickly backed up today by a palace spokesman. "It is to be presumed that the prince and the princess believe in Father Christmas (the British Santa)', inasmuch as they called on him yesterday," the spokesman said.

The palace apparently viewed the doubt over the children's belief in Santa as a serious matter that might shake the belief of millions of British children. It is exceedingly unusual for royal officials to comment on any press reports and especially on personal matters concerning the royal family. Cold air propelled by a 50-mile-an-hour blizzard from Canada poured across the Northern Plains yesterday. Temperatures toppled from 38 to 3 above at Glasgow, from 35 to 1 at Williston, N. and from 57 to 22 at Sheridan, Wyo.
