Buddy Roemer declares war on racism, joblessness and political dishonesty; urges improved education, economic development, ethics.

By FRANK MAY The Times BATON ROUGE Gov. Buddy Roemer from Bossier City declared "war on ignorance, racism and economic misery" after taking the oath of office Monday. Roemer, who campaigned on a promise to bring the winds of change to state government, became Louisiana's 51st governor under a sunny sky and chilly winds up to 25 mph. "Let the word go forth across this land that we call home Louisiana is coming back," Roemer said. Former U.S.

Sen. Russell Long, the son of the late Huey P. Long, gave Roemer the oath of office at the front of the capitol a few hundred feet from Huey Long's statue and burial site. A crowd of more than 3,500 people listened to Roemer's 10 12 minute speech. Because of the size of the crowd and the number of dignitaries on hand for the inauguration, security was increased to more than 300 state troopers and Baton Rouge city police officers.

As Roemer repeated his oath, his children, Caroline, Chas and Dakota, held a Bible under his left hand. His wife, Patti, stood behind the children, holding her black hat against the wind. "On behalf of our Louisiana family, we declare war on ignorance, on racism, on See ROEMER, back of section From Staff and Wire Reports BATON ROUGE Gov. Buddy Roemer could move as quickly as today in calling a special legislative session to seek broad, temporary budget-cutting power that could give him authority to eliminate whole state programs to reduce the state's $1 billion deficit. Manny Fernandez, Roemer's legislative liaison, said the governor would issue the call for the session no later than Tuesday.

The session is tentatively set to begin next week on either Monday or Tuesday. Roemer has said it will last no longer than 10 days. Romer's staff already prepared executive orders to put into effect about $8 million in savings measures that Roemer wanted former Gov. Edwin Edwards to enact during the transition. But Edwards refused.

Other orders would lift current budgetary freezes on Cabinet members to allow them to "more effectively manage" and allow for cutbacks in the state's fleets of vehicles and airplanes, said Len Sanderson, Roemer's chief of staff. Fernandez said the legislative call also will include Roemer's proposal to split the Department of Health and Human Resources, making the charity hospital system a separate state department. Roemer has said splitting DHHR would make for greater efficiency. The state Constitution limits the Inauguration special number of Cabinet-level departments to 20. To make room for the new hospital department, one department would have to be abolished or consolidated with another.

Roemer has said he would like to do away with the Department of Urban and Community Affairs. The broad budget-cutting authority Roemer is seeking for the remainder of this fiscal year is bound to arouse opposition among some lawmakers, Fernandez said. "There's going to be some opposition, sure," he said.

Felde, who was 10 days short of his 39th birthday, had claimed that he shouldn't be executed because he did not know the difference between right and wrong when he shot Shreveport Police Officer Glen Tompkins in the back on Oct. 20, 1978.
