Rockefeller formally began his third term as governor of New York today by declaring his devotion to building what he called "a just society. Today's inaugural ceremony was staged in the Assembly chamber at the state Capitol to fulfill tradition. Actually, Rock efeller had taken his third-term oath at a private ceremony three days earlier in New York City, At that time, he repeated the declaration he had made re- peatedly during his uphill fight for re-election that he never again would seek his party's presidential nomination. In offering the "just society, concept, he said: "And I sense the purpose high purpose because I have full faith in our capacity for creativity our common resolve with God's help to build together the dream of free men of all ages: a just society." This," he continued, "is the dream of a society where: 'Government is courageous, power is benign, learning is abundant, prosperity is general, order is serene, law is honored, compassion is practiced and brotherhood is lived." He concluded: "It is our splendid task to make this so ciety no dream at all but the world for our children to live in. Turning to the federal aid is sue, Rockefeller said experience showed the federal governmeni was too removed from local problems to dictate how federa money should be spent.

In criticizing what he called a recent "multiplication of mad equately financed domestic federal programs," Rockefeller said he was not disparaging the 'high purpose" of such efforts The problem is, he said, that the federal government is by passing "state leadership and ability to act as a guide and catalyst. mat, he said, "is both wasteful and self-defeat ing" and is "creatine an in- creasingly chaotic condition" administering such programs. in Exchange Program Jackson High School student, Belinda McEwen, will entertain members of the Exchange Club at their noon luncheon meeting at the New Southern Hotel Tuesday.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) Michigan Gov. George Romney devoted much of his third-term inaugural address today to an attack on one of his favorite tar gets over centralization of government. Romney, 59, frequently men tioned as a candidate for the Republican presidential nomi nation in 1968, was inaugurated for a four-year term. Year Is Underway Before First Baby Born In Jackson It was 16 hours and 40 min utes into the New Year before the first baby was born in the Jackson-Madison County Gen eral Hospital to a Jackson fa mily.

Romney took the oath of of fice at a private ceremony at bis suburban Detroit home Sat urday, with public ceremonies at the state capital today. Winner of a landslide reelec tion victory Nov. 8, Romney said in a prepared inaugural address: "The people feel the stifling consequences of over-centralization, conformity, manipulated consensus and arbitrary unshackled power, whether public or private.

"The faltering of over-central ization, the solid accomplishments of state governments in recent years, the expressed approval of the voters, and the confidence of youth will give self-government at the state and local level a second chance to prove its worth." Romney, first elected in 1962, was the first Republican to sit in the governor's chair in Lansing in 14 years. The former American Motors Corp. president called for heightened citizen respect for law, "a government directed by those who put the public trust above all personal considerations and set a high example both of public morality and private conduct; and politics adhering to standards that make public service an honored and preferred pursuit." The governor asked for more enlightened activity by private enterprise and voluntary associations, and a rebirth of coop eration "not only among all governmental levels but between government and private effort, to achieve the goals which none can reach alone. An advocate of the return of more federal tax dollars to the individual state, Romney added that "of course, Washington would have to let us use more efficiently more of our own means.

(AP) Police say Ronnie Lee Ozio, 14, stabbed his friend, shot and killed his father, his father's fiancee and his grandmother early New Year's Day. District Court Judge Eugene Hoyt said the youth would be charged today with murder with malice aforethought. Police gave this account of the tragedy at the Ozio home in an elegant apartment complex: The family and guests ush ered in the new year with a game of checkers and then retired. Ronnie got up early. He sought out the others and fired several pistol and .22 caliber rifle shots at his grand mother, Victoria Ozio, 77, and at Bobby Mayberry, 35, of Foreman, a divorcee who is engaged to his father.

The father, John A. Ozio, 39, sleeping on a pallet; was shot several times in the head. A hunting arrow was plunged deep into his chest. Craig Mayberry, 16, a friend of the Ozio boy, sobbed: "I tried to stop I tried to stop him." Mayberry was stabbed in the back with a 10-inch butcher knife, and was hospitalized in critical condition. Debi Mayberry, Craig's 14- year-old sister, awoke to her mother's screams.

She said she saw "Ronnie killing everyone. At first I thought it was a joke but then I knew they were real ly dying." Debi was not hurt. Ronnie, a 5-foot, 90-pound high school sophomore, then hid in a nearby lumber yard in early morning cold and mist. Presently he knocked on a neighbors door in the apart ment complex and said, "Would you please help me? Please call the police." Police would not comment on a motive. Ozio and Mrs.

Mayberry had planned to be married before Christmas, but called off wed ding plans for the time being. Ronnie was a guest of the May- berry family at their Foreman, home during the Christ mas holidays. Neighbors described Ronnie as a quiet, studious youth, a lon er and an avid hunter. Relatives said he showed affection toward all of the victims. In the court, late Sunday he was reunited with his mother, Freta Laura Ozio, a schoolteacher at nearby Groves, Tex.

"How are the people?" he asked. He showed no emotion when he was told three were dead. Debi Mayberry said Ronnie and the others had exchanged no harsh words New Year's Eve.

LONDON (AP) Police inves tigating history's biggest art theft sought clues today among thousands of American, European and British names in the visitors book at the Dulwich College Art Gallery. Scotland Yard detectives said all signs indicate only one man a thin, wiry man pulled off the theft Friday night of eight paintings worth an estimated $7 million from the college's col lection.

"There is a strong possibility the thief, or someone working for him, visited the gallery in recent weeks to chart the lay out," a detective said. "Nearly everyone who visits Henry A. Lewis Services Today Services were held this after noon for Henry Austin Lewis, 83, retired farmer of the Mercer community, who died Sun day morning at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital after an extended illness. He had made his home since his retirement with his daugh ter, Mrs. Bill O'Dell, at 196 Wallace Road.

Serv ices for Miss Hattie Brewer, 85, were at 2 p.m. Sunday at Du- day Funeral Home with the Rev. Haynes Lankford officiating. Burial was in Chapel Hill Cemetery. Miss Brewer died Friday at Carroll County General Hospital in Huntingdon.

She operated a farm in the Rice Store Community. Her parents were the late James Brewer and Charity Joyner Brewer. Surviving are nieces and this little gallery is expected to sign the book. We think the thief or his accomplice may have scribbled something down, perhaps to appear inconspicuous. So we are going to check out every single name and address." Police officials speculated the thief may not be out for money.

"He could have had a political motive to draw attention to a grievance," said Detective Supt. Charles Hewett, who is in charge of the case. "It could have been greed or jealousy. I certainly don't think there's very much in it for him money-wise." The paintings were not insured, reducing the prospect of collecting a large ransom for them. They are so well known that presumably they could not be sold to anyone except an unusually eccentric art lover who would keep them entirely to himself.

Scotland Yard believed a ran som demand for 100,000 pounds $280,000 telephoned Satur day night was a New Year's Eve hoax. The Yard believed the thin man, who crawled through small opening drilled in an out side door of the gallery, loved the art he stole. He removed the eight paintings from their frames with meticulous care. The only solid clue was a bro ken, highspeed drill tip discov ered in the grounds of the gal lery. The eight paintings were among the most valuable of the 300 in the Dulwich collection.

Thev included three Rem- brandts "Girl at a Window' 'Portrait of a Young Man," and 'Portrait of Jacob de Gheyn;" three by Rubens, one by Gerard Dou and one by Adam Eisneim er. Willie S.
