Snow snarls city; cold wave strikes VI Denounces corruption in politics By Neil Mehler jand John Elmer.

Chicago Trlbunt'prpM Servlct 'j SPRINGFIELD a Robert Thompson who won public attention as a prosecutor of politicians who abused the public trust, was inaugurated Monday as Illinois' 37th governor with a pledge to run an honest and trustworthy administration. His short inaugural address, despite an occasional conciliatory tone, de-: nounced officials who enrich themselves at public expense, are power hungry, or are interested in image rather than performance. Six other state officials were sworn in after Thompson, including the new state treasurer appointed as the result of a unique political deal between Republican Thompson and the new. secretary of state, Democrat Alan Dixon. ABOUT 3,000 persons witnessed the ceremony in the Illinois State Armory as temperatures outside hovered near-- zero in the snowbound state capital.

Thompson's pledge to earn the people's trust included promises to: "See that no jobs are bought, no favors. sold." Deal firmly and quickly with wrongdoing in state government. Apply no political loyalty test when citizjtis tsk the government for help. Make no promises that can't be kept nor any that depend "on someone else'8 help to fulfill." Be frugal with the people's money and eliminate waste. Seek unity, not division or confrontation.

RETURNING to his anti-corruption theme after making those pledges, the 40-year-old Thompson said some persons will call his credo 'simplistic." "My answer is this: There is nothing wrong with government anywhere that some simple honesty and openness and-candor won't cure," he said. He had told reporters earlier that the speech would be "the shortest inaugural address ever made," and he took less than the 10 minutes allotted in the pro-jp-am. THOMPSON WROTE the speech with the aid of Douglas Bailey, the Washington political consultant who helped him win a record 1.3-million-vote plurality in November in his first try for elective office. Outgoing Gov. Walker, defeated in his -re-election bid in the March 16 Democratic primary, applauded the speech, though it contained comments that some persons saw as criticisms of Walker the condemnation of image-building, "confrontation," and "politics of division." On entering the Inaugural stage, Thompson shook hands with the 19 persons in the front row, including Chicago Mayor Thompson gave Biland- Contlnuedpu pnge 5, col.

When weather dumped all over his parade, he brought the parade inside and then stood with his wife, Jayne, as each of the 17 surviving bands marched in and performed for himf BEFORE THE "parade" began, about 1:30 p.m., groups of clowns and Percy warmed up the crowd; then came A WINTER STORM made driving a nightmare throughout most of the nation Monday, dumped more than 10 inches of snow in, the Chicago area, forced the closing of many schools, and left the city in the grip of a sub-zero" cold wave. The storm was also blamed for nine Chicago area deaths. Forecasters said no additional snow--: fall was expected Tuesday, and that tempertures will be extremely cold. Tempertures Monday night were ex- pected to range from zero near the lake to 12 below, in outlying areas.

Tuesday highs were expected, to range from 5 to 10 degrees, but northwest winds of IS to 22 miles per hour would push the wind chill factor down to 40 below.
