Before It was over more than 50 floats, 208 bands and, hundreds of cars loaded with state, county and municipal officials had passed in review.

Nearly all received quick karate-style salucs from Gov. George C. Wallace and beaming smiles from Alabama a new first, lady, Mrs. Cornelia Wallace. Contingents, many leaving their home bases in the middle of the night for Montgomery with Its sold-out hostelries, started lining up along Montgomery Street in the chilly light of dawn.

The line of march up Dex ter Avenue, a orici en a runaround to the corner of Washington and Bainbridge, two blocks down Bainbridge, then a right 'turn onto Monroe was 15 blocks long. But many units at the rear had to walk 30 blocks as the assembled contingents, even packed together like a closed eccor- dian, was also 15 blocks long. Leading off the parade was the tiny representation from Clayton and Barbour County, home of both Wallace and Lt Gov. Jere Bcaslcy. Following were units from every county in the state except pre domlnatcly-black Greene Coun ty.

Jefferson, the most populous county in the state, had the biggest assemblage, followed by Montgomery and Madison (Huntsville). Midway in the parade the large figure of two-time former Gov. Jumcs E.

Beasley took the oath with an Idealism placing him on a political plane that could tilt perpendicular to those occupiod by the governor, former governor and attorney general, to name a few.

He took office a part-time "and those who think like is, within the law, "thrust into the face of the bureaucrats."

J. Nettles, NAACP second vice president, said during the afternoon he was allowed to present the peti tion. Later, as Wallace gave his In augural address, a dozen blacks stood near the platform, but surrounded by police, as they gave the clenched fist Black Power sign.

Neither does the sudden fame of youthful Atty. Gen.

Bill Baxlcy. Outgoing Gov. Albert Brewer already is making his' plans for the next governor's race and Wallace, if he isn't running, will have a personal candidate for sure. Mrs. Allen is belns urced now by strong political forces, some witn money, to run for covornor in 1974.
