Ceremony Held Under Clear Skies Traditional Pageantry At Program By HUGH MORRIS The Courier-Journal Buraau Frankfort, Dec. 8. Bert Thomas Combs, 48 year old mountain lawyer and former judge from Prestonsburg, was publicly sworn in as Governor of Kentucky at 2:11 p.m. Tuesday. Traditional inauguration pageantry, under almost perfect skies, came to a solemn climax as Combs and Lieutenant Governor Wilson Watkins Wyatt of The texts of the speeches of Governor Combs, Lieutenant Governor Wilson Wyatt, and retiring Governor "Chandler are on Page 14.

Louisville stood shoulder to shoulder, their right hands raised. Their left hands rested upon the Combs family Bible, held by Miss Lois Combs, the Governor's petite 15-year-old daughter. It was opened to a passage she had chosen the fifth chapter of Paul's letter to the young Christian Church at Galatia: For all the law is fulfill ui one word, even in this: thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

Eisenhower inspected a honor guard of Pakistan Army, Navy, and Air Force men.

Eisenhower said his stay in Pakistan had been too brief and he would like to come again. The United States Chief executive thanked the Pakistani President for his hospitality.
