John West as he takes the oath of office at his inauguration was taken ESTABLISHED 1881 Promises Fairness For COLUMBIA (AP)-John Carl West took over as South Carolina's 76th governor Tuesday, promising to lead the state into its fourth century with an administration that is "totally color-blind." The 48-year-old Camden attorney was inaugurated in freezing weather on the wind-raked steps of the State Capitol. The ceremony was witnessed by about 6,000 chilled ers, including state legislators, bandsmen and security guards. "We can, and we shall, in the next four years, eliminate from our government any vestige of discrimination because of race, creed, sex, religion, or any other barrier to fairness for all citizens," the new governor declared.

"We pledge to minority groups no special status other than full-fledged responsibility in a government that is totally color-blind," Gov. West added. "Backing up pledges made during his campaign, the balding chief executive outlined goals to eliminate hunger, malnutrition and illiteracy, and far-reaching programs for strengthening law enforcement, environmental protection id industrial and agricultural 'development. Perhaps his most important endeavor, Gov. West said, will be providing better educational opportunities ranging from a comprehensive pre-school program for the very young to a continuing adult education program.

His remarks on full citizenship and opportunity for blacks would have drawn rebukes from legislators only a few years ago. But after 12 years in the State Senate and the past four years as lieutenant governor, West seemed sure of his ground in declaring that "the politics of race and divisiveness have been soundly repudiated in South Carolina." Also sworn in for four-year terms were Lt. Gov. Earle Morris, 42, a Pickens banker and former state senator, and other constitutional officers. Like West, all are Democrats.

Representing their states at the inaugural were Govs. John BeH Williams of Mississippi and Bob Scott of North Carolina, Lt Gov. Paul Simon of Illinois and Mrs. James Carter, wife of the governor of Georgia. In his inaugural address, Gov.

West told outgoing Gov. Robert McNair that accomplishments during his six years in office-the longest continuous tenure in the state's history-assures him "a well-deserved place as one of the greatest governors who has ever served the state of South Carolina." And, West continued, Josephine McNair, as first lady, "has brought new dimensions to that position, and a new and lasting sense of pride for the people of South Carolina." After listing goals of his administration. Gov. West cau- See On Page 4 rv.iiTL. F5d By The REV.

Members of the General Assembly entered and this reporter watched as Orangeburg County representatives F. Hall Yar-borough, Thomas Bryant III and Edward Bennett entered. I didn't see F. Lawton Irick, although he was probably there, but the binoculars blurred from the cold at times.

Many of the women wore corsages, but they were generally dressed in grays, blacks, browns and blues and not very colorful. One outstanding beauty was Miss South Carolina, Claudia Turner, who sat in the front row of the dignitaries seating area. She wore a red coat, knee length, See A On Page 4 Steam rose from cups of hot coffee, mingling with the visible breath of. those drinking it. People brought afghans and blankets and wrapped up cosily.

One of the marshals trotted around with a red plaid wool scarf wrapped around his head and his hat perched on top. Flags snapped and flung themselves about in the wind, and children watched them with pleasure. One group of young people, escorted by several adults, were representing the muscular dystrophy children, a. group that Mrs. West works with and has great interest in.

One boy was in a wheelchair and a man tenderly wrapped a blanket around him and supported his head so he might see the ceremonies. About 11:30, the skies lightened and patches of blue appeared. People took their following morning in the Orangeburg Regional Hospital. There was no denial by Davis that he shot Loadholt, but he testified that he thought he had shot him in the foot. The question for the jury to decide is as to how Loadholt was shot, whether Davis, indeed, shot him with malice aforethought, and whether Davis fired in self defense after being struck in the head with an iced tea glass by Loadholt during the argument.

The most effective testimony was given by Mrs. Paulette H. Loadholt, an attractive ash blonde, wife of the slain man. Her testimony was to the effect that after supper the night of the Sunday shooting, her husband sat down with a glass of tea to See On Page 2 Were Envied By JOYCE W.MILKIE Of The Times and Democrat Governor John Carl West was inaugurated Tuesday with pomp, ceremony, and music, as the oath of office was administered by a shivering dignitary before thousands of red-nosed; watery-eyed, wrapped-up citizens of the state. Immediately following the parade which preceded the inaugural ceremonies, South Carolinians from the far corners of the state began arriving at the State House, where chairs had been arranged at both sides of the platform and hundreds more facing it.

Law enforcement officers, dignitaries, guests and just plain people mixed and swirled around the area, searching for seats or for a corner in which to standi Newsmen, r'peered anxiously around, looking for the section set aside for them and television and radio personnel perched atop platforms or clung to a precarious foothold wherever they could find, spot that gave them a good view of proceedings. Many people walked blocks, it was that difficult finding a spot to park, and the gray, brooding skies threatened dire things as the wind blew piercingly through even the warmest garments. In the guest section, a few. Orangeburgers were noted, especially Richard Rhame and Mr. and Mrs.

Henry Allen. University of South Carolina President Tom Jones and Mrs. Jones arrived and were seated far in the front, near the official stand. Jones, smiling and waving to friends, wore no hat, but sported a warm looking pair of ear muffs!

By FRANK K.MYERS Of The Times and Democrat The state and defense completed their testimony Tuesday in the trial of Roy Davis for the fatal shooting of Troy Loadholt on the Cordova Road last March 1, but the defendant will have to wait until Wednesday to learn his fate. When Orangeburg County court of general sessions convenes at 10 a.m. Wednesday, the state and defense will complete their closing arguments before Circuit Judge James A. Spruill Jr.

of Chester, presiding, delivers his charge and the case is turned over to the petit Jury for deliberation. The state was assisted by Jerry M. Hughes Jr. Tuesday, representing the family, along with Solicitor Julian S. Wolfe, with Hughes conducting most of the presentation.

O. Harry Bozardt Jr. represents the defense as public defender. Solicitor Wolfe said that as soon as the Davis case is completed, he plans to try for the second time John Henry Maple charged with driving under the influence. Maple's first trial last week resulted in a mistrial.

According to the testimony, Loadholt was fatally shot through the abdomen soon after dusk the night of last March 1 after an argument stemming from the rewing-up of a truck motor by Davis which in-terferred with color television reception in the Loadholt trailer. He died early the i i inspired to learn that a group of young people arrive at high school early enough to have group prayer before classes began.

Even that was under discussion when C. Walker Limehouse, city attorney, questioned the number on the list, saying there was a possibility that the list would be exhausted by September if no additions were made.

The matter was reconciled when Mike Campbell, city clerk and treasurer, produced the state law regarding the number of prospective jurors to be placed on the list In other business, Mayor E. O.
