Smith announced today, hours before the inauguration of his Republican successor, Arch A. Moore that he signed an order Friday covering the following departments: Alcohol Beverage Control Commissioner, Finance and Administration, Pub lice Institutions, Work men's Compensation and the commodities division of the State Welfare Department.

He said it was in keeping with the policy of his administration of coupling efficiency of employes with equality of opportunity in state government. And, he added, he took the action on the recommendations of several citizens' and legislative groups, and the Stale Salary Study Commission. Several months ago, he added, he asked all department heads interested in Civil Service to submit plans and recommenda tions to him. Also, he added, Moore has indicated in his statements that he favors wider Civil Service coverage. Under the law, a governor may add departments to Civil Service with the request of the department head and the concurrence of the Civil Service Commission, If all of those eligible can qualify, the governor said it will bring the total of those under Civil Service to 10,345, of whom 5,611 were put on the rolls during his four years in office.

Referring to scandals in atate government that have rocked the people of the state and unquestionably helped his election, Moore said his first and primary attention will be directed toward doing those things with government that can be improved with great personal effort. 'We must make integrity in stale government a tradition in West Virginia and the time to begin to build such respect ia now.
