Kentucky's new split-party state administration was inaugurated yesterday amid mutual offers to cooperate for the common good.

Republican Louie Broady Nunn and Democrat Wendell Hampton Ford, both 43 and both voted "outstanding young Kentuckians" a decade ago, solemnly replied "I do" in taking their oaths as gov ernor and lieutenant governor respectively Seven other state officials elected Nov. 7 along with Nunn and Ford four Republicans and three Democrats will not take over their new posts until Jan. 2. Traditional inauguration pageantry began under leaden skies in bluster', moisture-laden winds with a 4-hour parade. By the time it came to its solemn climax, a bright, warming sun bestowed 1 or the responsibilities which he will assume.

"In his efforts he deserves a fair chance and a compassionate judgment from every Kentuckian, regardless of Breathitt declared as the crowd applauded. "To those of you who adhere to my political faith, I should urge that every proposal which he (Nunn) makes be judged by one standard and one standard alone: Is it good for Kentucky?" Again the crowd applauded the departing governor. Then Breathitt, near the end of his talk, said: "And now I am about to depart to learn a great lesson. There is nothing more ex- than an ex-governor." Lt. Gov.

Ford also touched on the harmony theme in his inaugural speech, noting that he and Nunn face "a unique and exacting challenge." Crowd Applauds Promise "I will do all I can to make it a comfortable relationship in which Governor Nunn has maximum opportunity to produce good results as governor," Ford pledged. The new lieutenant governor said he has no wish "to walk on eggshells" and will not make Nunn do so. The crowd applauded his promise that Nunn can leave the state without fear that his lieutenant governor will upset things. Ford said, however, that he reserves its benevolent blessing from azure-blue skies. Gov.

Nunn, in his address, declared, "It need not be true" that the next four years will see a state government divided against itself. Republican Nunn did not specifically mention that his lieutenant governor is a Democrat and that the 1968 legislature is Democrat-dominated. But he said: "There are those who have said and others who will say that we shall have a divided house and that a house divided against itself cannot stand. "It will not be true if each of us who is charged with public responsibility keeps firmly in his mind that there is a common touchstone where all Kentuckians may assemble without division the altar of common good," he said. 'Deserves a Fair Chance' Nunn offered a firm "hand of friendship in good faith and in good will to all who will accept it," promising to appeal to the people to judge if it is rejected for selfish reasons." "I shall not indulge in, nor shall I permit, partisan politics to impede the programs and the progress that we shall undertake," he promised.

It was outgoing Gov. Edward T. Breathitt who set the bipartisan, cooperative tone of the affair in his valedictory: "Only one who has stood where he (Nunn) stands today can be fully aware of the burdens which he will carry HP if JUDGE SAMUEL STEINFELD As li li i li Defeated the Drizzle It Was 'People 's Day 9 in Frankfort Staff Photo SWEARS IN GOV.

The politicians and professional officeholders were in the spotlight, but yesterday was really the people's day here. They clambered over fences and trod the Capitol lawn, got their shoes muddy in the boulevard flower beds of Capital Avenue and wandered the halls of government searching for a restroom. Several youngsters scrambled to the pinnacle of the pine trees flanking the inaugural platform for a better view, and two or three oldtimers got comfortable on the Capitol steps, finding a court-house-away-from-home with everything but the shavings.

As miserable as the early weather was for watching, it proved just right for marching cool enough to keep the step lively but not icy enough to freeze lips to a mouthpiece.
