The Archbishop of Canter bury, primate of the Church of On Junked Cars The problem of abandoned cars will be discussed this spring by the U.S. Conference of Mayors at the request of Wilmington Mayor John E. Babiarz.

Babiarz said today that the problem is more acute in large cities than in Wilmington, which along with some other incorporated Delaware communities has laws governing the disposal of the cars. Delaware state and New Castle County police, however, have no laws allowing the removal of cars from streets or private lots if they are legally parked. The mayor explained that the recent Evening Journal campaign to spotlight this problem jogged him into asking, successfully, that the disposal of abandoned cars be added to a workshop session at the spring mayors conference in St. Louis. Topic of the session is "Problems of Disposal of Solid Wastes." Babiarz was a member of the advisory board that worked out details for the spring conference at this week's winter meeting of the mayors in Washington, D.C.

Babiarz said there has already been preliminary discussion among the mayors of the problem during which he learned that several pilot projects dealing with the junk-car problem are already under way. All New Castle County members of the General Assembly have expressed support for legislation dealing with the junk-car problem in Delaware and a bill is being prepared for the current session. England, called upon his countrymen to offer their prayers Inaugural Talk Calls For Unity By CHRISTOPHER PERRY Dover Bureau DOVER-Charles L. Terry Jr. became the governor of Delaware today and called on all citizens of the state to "move forward to a more splendid tomorrow." Terry, standing hatless in 20-degree cold and brisk winds, took the oath of office at 12:15 p.m.

from the man who succeeded him as chief justice, Daniel L. Wolcott. As soon as Terry was sworn in, the oaths of office were administered to Lt. Gov. Sherman W.

Tribbitt and Secretary of State-designate Elisha C. Dukes. Confirmation of Dukes' reappointment was expected this afternoon from the Senate, which was to reconvene after the inauguration ceremonies. With Terry on the platform in front of Legislative Hall was the outgoing governor, Elbert N. Carvel, and their wives.

In his inaugural address, delivered after the three oaths were administered, Terry pledged to preserve individual freedom and said he will "call continuously for contributions from outstanding citizens." The brief address was not a statement of specific proposals. The new chief executive said for Sir Winston as he ap proaches death." The Archbishop of York, Dr. Donald Coggan, second-ranking prelate of the church, called Churchill "the greatest English man of our day, whose work is done and the end of whose life is near." "We commend him and the members of his household to the peace of God," Dr. Coggan said.

The 90-year-old wartime prime minister spent a restless night and was believed at the point of death from the ravages of a stroke. But at 11:46 a.m. (6:46 a.m. EST), Churchill's weary physician and lifelong friend, Lord Moran, told newsmen that the old warrior's condition had not deteriorated further during the morning. Lord Moran, himself 82, spent most of the night at Churchill's bedside, watching his life ebb and apparently helpless to save it.
