"This administration must be a long-look-ahead administration," said Goddard, Inaugural Ball Pictures, Page 17 after taking the oath of office from Arizona Chief Justice Jesse Udall before a crowd of 3,000 on the sunny statehouse mall.

Goddard said the astronomers of Kitt Peak Observatory on the Papago Indian Reservation were dubbed "the men with long eyes" by the Indians. He said Arizona needs such men to tackle the problems of water, agriculture, education and business development as well as legislative, constitutional and tax revision. Thiew governor was interrupted three times by applause, the loudest when he promised to act always in good faith. Most who heard him lingered to shake his hand in a three-hour-long reception line of top state officials in the statehouse rotunda. There he was presented by Sun City residents with a handcrafted mosaic depicting his political campaign symbol, a roadrunner.

Goddard was flanked in the reception line by Gov. Luis En-cinas of Sonora, Mexico, and (Continued on Page 14, Col. 2) Eliot, 'Lost Dies at 76 LONDON (AP) T.S. Eliot, American-born poet, playwright and a voice of the "lost generation" of the 1920s, died here last night. He was 76.

Born in St. Louis, of a family that had been New Engenders since the 17th Century, Eliot spent most of his adult life in Britain and became a British subject in 1927. He won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1948. The influence of Eliot began with publication in 1917 of his poem, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." Perhaps his most significant contribution came five years later in the lengthy poem, "The Waste Land." "THE WASTE LAND" was full of esoteric references and passages in other languages and quotations, unidentified, from works as old as Christopher Marlowe's "Tamburlane." Eliot added seven pages of footnotes to explain his own references.

His contempt for many of society's values, a feeling that made him especially influential, was notably brought out in his 1925 poem, "The Hollow Men." Its subtitle was "A Penny for the Old Guy," and it spoke of, "The Hollow Men, the Stuffed Men." The poem ended with lines whose impact grew during subsequent decades of war and terror: This is the way the world LIJ9 Governor Swornin By Udall up in other Republican controlled offices. Others were job hunting. John McGowan, chief Fannin aide, returned to the attorney general's office where he served in the early 1950s.

Government sources said Johnson would further break with tradition by sending five special messages to Congress before his inauguration on Jan. 20.

The first, concerning health, will go to Capitol lull Thursday; the other four will cover education, immigration, foreign aid and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. On the pressing question of the war in South Vietnam, Johnson was guarded, but his remarks suggested no change in the present policy of supporting the South Vietnamese mili tary operations against the Communist Vietcong insur gents, while continuing the search for a stable South Viet namese government. The United States, the Presi assist a friendly nation against Communist aggression as well as to protect its own security by achieving peace in Southeast Asia.

New officials took up duties in the governor's office, corporation and tax commissions, department of public instruction, and attorney general and treasurer's offices. As a result there was a major turnover in personnel. The major developments: SEVEN dismissed employes of the Corporation Commission were rehired, 16 present employes were fired, 3 resigned and 11 new employes were hired. Top among them was George Livermore, 29, a Phoenix lawyer, who becomes executive secretary at $10,200 a year.

By MICHAEL PADEV Republic Foreign Editor WASHINGTON President Johnson has invited the new leaders of the Soviet government to visit the United States soon. This is the single most important fact which emerged from the foreign policy part of the State of the Union speech which the chief executive made before Congress last night. JOHNSON did not actually say- that he has invited the Soviet leaders to come to the i News Analysis States. But there can be no other in terpretation of the following sentence of his speech: "I hope the new boviet leaders can visit America so they can learn about this country at first hand." This is the diplomatic formula with which such high ranking and most important state visits are announced. First, the "hope" is expressed 1, JJS case, Jonnsons Mate ot the Union speech reference.) Second, a few days or perhaps a few weeks will be allowed for American and free world public opinion to comment on the projected visit.

The two big leadership bat tles were resolved quickly, be fore the House and Senate con vened at noon, nine hours be fore Johnson's State of the Un ion address.

On the Republican side, vet eran House leader Charles A. Halleck of Indiana was ousted in favor of Rep. Gerald A. Ford of Michigan. The vote was 73 to 67.

SENATE Democrats, taking two ballots, chose Sen. Russell B. Long of Lousiana to be party whip, the No. 2 Democrat in the chamber behind Mike Mansfield of Montana. Long replaces Vice President-elect Hubert H.

Humphrey. More important for the future of Johnson's "Great Society" proposals, the House acted in the afternoon to liberauze its rules, as the topheavy Democrat ic majority had voted to do last Saturday. The Democrats this year have their biggest congressional ma- jority since the 1930s THE DEMOCRATS have a 295-to-140 majority in the new 'House. The rules changes were adopted on a vote of 224 to 201. The balloting was close because the changes were opposed by practically all Republicans and a large contingent of conservative Democrats.

It was this familiar coalition form held he fat power was cut by the new changes adopted yesterday. Also curtailed was the authority of the rules committee. The rules changes would: PERMIT THE House, by maiority vote, to call up bills that have been awaiting clear ance in the Rules Committee for 21 days or longer. -Allow the House, also by a majority, to sena amering i i fp bills that have passed both House and Senate to conference I committees.
