Ford predicts cut in N-arms spen ding i WASHINGTON (UPI) Against growing criticism, President Ford defended his Vladivostok arms agreement as one which ultimately will cut spending on strategic weaponry and avoid a spiraling arms race. At a televised news conference first since his return from his trip to Asia and the U.S.-Soviet summit talks at Vladivostok the President said the agreement with Moscow's Leonid Brezhnev will limit each side to "a firm ceiling" of 2,400 strategic nuclear missiles or bombers, of which 1,320 can carry multiple warheads capable of hitting more than a single target. "It's a good agreement, and I believe the American people will buy it," Ford said. TURNING to domestic issues, the President paraphrased Franklin Delano Roosevelt's reassurance of 1933 that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Ford said today's conditions do not necessitate such a reassurance, but "it's a good thing to remember." "We are going to take some lumps and take some bumps," he said, but he expressed confidence the nation would overcome the triple challenge of inflation, recession and the energy shortage. Against a drumbeat of advice from some of his own administrators that the gasoline tax should be increased sharply to curtail U.S.

consumption of imported petroleum, Ford ruled out a 20-cent-a-gallon tax increase but did not mention a smaller boost. SENS. Henry M. Jackson, and Barry M. Goldwater, have been critical of the Vladivostok agreement.

Jackson said it produced no reductions in strategic weaponry, presented a verification problem and set too high a ceiling on multiple independently targeted reentry vehicles the so-called MIRVs, missiles which can send warheads at a number of targets. Goldwater earlier yesterday termed the agreement "just another play by the Russians to try to fool some of our detente-happy people." Against that criticism, Ford defended the accord as one which "very, very definitely" will result in savings on what the nation will spend in the future on strategic weapons. At the same time Ford declined to predict a drop in the size of the total defense budget. He said it will grow to reflect inflation in the years to come. HE SPEELED OUT the specific figures in the agreement, and called them "major breakthroughs." "These ceilings are well below the force levels which would otherwise have been expected over the next 10 years, and very substantially below the forces which would result from an all-out arms race over that same period," he said.

He said that if the U.S. military wants to and if Congress approves the money, it could increase throw-weight capabilities the use of more powerful missiles that can carry heavier warheads. Ford did not give specific information on how the United States can verify that the Soviets are keeping their end of the bargain. FORD ALSO: Predicted that, as long as the Arabs do not impose another oil embargo, the nation will not experience anything like last winter's shortages which created long gas lines. Called on Congress to enact his bill providing public jobs for the unemployed, a tax bill giving relief to the poor and taxing windfall oil profits, and several measures dealing with energy.

Assured the nation's mayors and governors that he will ask for an extension on revenue sharing.

Nelson K. Doi, 52, were sworn in during a one-hour noontime ceremony at Iolani Palace attended by more than 8,000 persons. Ariyoshi is the first American of Japanese descent ever elected governor of one of the states. For many in Hawaii, his inauguration symbolized the culmination of a political and social struggle of more than two decades.

In the audience were many of Hawaii's political, social, business and civic leaders, along with Hawaiian civic organizations, government workers and tourists. It was a festive day for Ariyoshi and his new Administration. Bands played; choruses sang; colorful Hawaiian groups marched; and thousands of well-wishers, in somber suit or aloha wear, crowded into the State Capitol across the mall to celebrate afterward. BUT TODAY as Ariyoshi warned the members of his Cabinet during their swearing-in ceremony later in the afternoon the work begins.

In his inaugural address, Ariyoshi clearly recognized that yesterday's elation soon would pass and the work of running a state would begin. His speech, like Doi's, was largely a reaffirmation of the promises and themes heard so many times before on the campaign trail. Ariyoshi spoke of the need to diversify agriculture, to control unwanted growth, to disperse the Island population and to widen Hawaii's economic base. He pledged to open the State Administration to press and public, and to reach out and draw the community into the service of the Aloha!

Like his predecessor, John A. Bums, Ariyoshi said he believes in change but change for a purpose. "Growth and change are a natural part of our lives and of any viable government," he said. "To remain progressive, a society must continue to evolve. It must be dynamic, not static; priorities are always being reordered.

And so it is that we will seek new ways, more For more stories and photos on the inauguration, see Pages A-3 and A-4. WHILE THE SPEECH may have echoed his campaign promises, many of those who listened sensed a difference yesterday. "Sure, it sounded like his campaign," said Senate Majority Leader Donald Ching, a former colleague. "But it's a lot different in a coffee hour and in front of the whole State. "He said some strong things and some bold things I hope he continues in the same vein." Ching said he thought the speech was more forceful than those he had heard when Ariyoshi had been in the Senate.

"It's not the same George Ariyoshi I served with in the Legislature," he said.

Ariyoshi paid tribute to Burns the man who started him on his political career. Burns, who was watching the inain gural on television in his hospital room at St. Francis Hospital, heard Ariyoshi say: "Indeed, were it not for the great changes brought about by his influence, in Hawaii's economic, political and social life, I would not be standing here today in this capacity."

Mrs. Burns returned yesterday to Washington Place the official governor's residence. She has arranged to have most of the Burns possessions transferred to Kailua and is expected to make the move within a few days. Burns will retire on a maximum government pension, 75 per cent of his salary as governor, or $31,500 a year.

Aoki was an administrative assistant to Burns. Oshiro was the political strategist who engineered campaigns for both Burns and George Ariyoshi. Aoki said it was Oshiro's idea to be with Burns as the former governor returned to private life.
