After a rigorous inaugural day highlighted by a remarkable walk in the first light of his presidency and the tradi- tional waltzes on the first night of.it -TT the 39th chief executive settled back today to welcome friends and top appointees to his new home. The President's schedule i i a listed only four items, all receptions. The first, at 10 a.m., was for the men and women who had entertained him at their own homes during his long political quest.

Thursday night, Carter and his wife Kosalynn climaxed the inaugural day with a rapid- fire of seven parties spread throughout the city at four hotels, the railroad station, a government building and an armory.

Each was jammed with thousands of persons, all of whom paid $25 to get in, a bargain price as inaugural balls go. Accompanied by.daughter Amy, 9, at the first two nighttime events, the President and Mrs. Carter took sevral whirls around the dance floor, and he kissed her on the cheek once or twice. At each event, Carter made a brief, campaign-style talk, asking over and over, "Wasn't this a good day?" "Yes!" came the inevitable roar. "Isn't this a great country?" Again, cheers.

Carter, in tuxedo, went on to tell the partygoers that six 'years ago Rosalynn had worn the same floor-length blue and goldoldold gown, when he was elected governor of Georgia. "Don't you ou ike my wife's old dress?" he'd ask. "Today is the greatest day in the life of the Carter family," he said. "I see here so many of you who helped me when I didn't have any Friends I want this evening of joy and friendship and caring for each other to last for the next four years." In all, the round of partygo- ing lasted 3Vi hours, and the Carters were home for their first night in the White House at 12:30 a.m., about 1V4 hours earlier than though other celebrants continued way into the morning.

The Carters had good reason to be tired. Earlier in the day, as millions watched via televi- sion, he had given the nation a sight never before seen, a new President strolling all the a down a i a Avenue from the Capitol to the White House, his wife holding i a a A walked several blocks with her parents. That act, symbolic of his oftrepeated campaign promise to stay close to the people, came as a complete surprise to all but the Secret Service, whom he informed of his plan three weeks earlier. And despite the icy temperatures, the President obviously the mile and one-half stroll. It capped, he said, a "perfect day." The a a i a also served to mute criticism from many who a i i a a address lacked punch, at least in It a solerriri speech in which'thenew President declared that "I have'no new dream to set forth todkyi but rather urge a fresh-faljh in tlic old But the line that seemed to draw thegreatest appreciation was the one which he opened: "For and for our nation, I want to thank my predecessor for all he has done to heal our land." With that, Gerald R.

Ford, a who planned to be out golfing today in Snuth; ern California, bit his stifle the tears while the audience i Cartel's tribute with hearty applause. "I don't deny that I got a llt- tle sentimental," the outgoing president told reporters later. "We've had 2Vj great years and you can't help but be a little emotional." Ford was close to tears again when he and his wife, Betty, were honored by a military review at Andrews Air Force Base, prior to their departure in the presidential jetliner for Monterey, and a golfing vacation.

BULLARD CORNER of 12th POPE quickly got down to his first official business as President, signing a document that formally nominated his Cabinet. The Senate then confirmed eight Cabinet members by voice vote, but deferred action on the other three because of requests for roll call votes.

Those will come later, probably next week, for Joseph a i a as a of health, education and welfare; F. Ray Marshall as secretary of labor and Griffin B. Bell as attorney general. At dusk Thursday, Carter was behind his new desk in the Oval Office, which looked a bit bare i the personal items that Ford had taken with him. There, the i announced that he will meet next Tuesday with congressional leaders, and will convene the full Cabinet later in the week.His press secretary, Jody Powell, added later thai Carter planned a tour around the nation early in his term, because he "is very concerned about not becoming isolated." But for the first two days of his i at a Jimmy Carter was certainly not isolated.

That walk along Pennsylvania Avenue, i Amy prancing, jumping and playing slepon-a-crack, break- a was alone enough to shake the recent legend that presidents must be removed from the people. Except for three minor knots of demonstrators, off the route of the two-hour parade led by the new President, it was just the day that Carter could have hoped, one of harmony and unity. From their solar-heated reviewing stand, the Carters and Vice President Walter F. Mondale and wife Joan took the salute of the full procession of floats, bands and marching units from every slate. Then, prior to the evening's partygoing, the President and Rosalynn Carter took a stroll through the executive mansion.

"I never have seen it." a a i i meanwhile, headed for their official residence, becoming ihe first true occupants of the vice presidential mansion in a residential section, Legislature Takes Breather SANTA FE. (AP) The New Mexico Legislature took a breather today to allow jts printers to catch up to a heavy load of bill introductions during the first three days of the 1977 Legislators will return to Santa Fe Monday prepared to accelerate the work pace. Committee work cannot begin until legislators have copies of the bills before them. There were 156 pieces of legislation, 148 bills and eight resolutions introduced during the first week of the legislature.

These a 'introductions included 15 to 19 bills in Gpv. Jerry Apodaca's state reorganization package. The remaining four bills in the package will come into the House next week. The only measure passed during the first week was the legislative teed bill, which appropriates $2.4 million to finance the session and to fund the Legislative Council Service, the legislative Finance Committee and the School Study Committee during 1977- 78. The Feed Bill cleared the House Thursday and the Senate Finance Committee will hold a hearing on it next week.

It should be on Apodaca's desk for his signature by the end of next week. A wide variety of issues are addressed in the early introductions, Besides the government reorganization package, thcre'are'bills dealing with tax relief, penal reform, energy matters, a nd financing of local interest projects. The second bill introduced in the House, following the Feed Bill, was Apodaca's General Appropriations Act, which seeks the expenditure of $585 i i in state to finance state government operations next fiscal year. Rep. Tom Brown DEddy-Chaves, chairman of the House Appropriations and Finance Committee, said several days ago the gover nor's bill will be used as the basicdocument as his committee works out state appropriations.

Brown hopes to have the Appropriations Actbackon the floor of the House on the 30th day. On Monday, state Finance' Director Vincent Montoya and his staff analysis will appear before Brown's committee to give the most recent report on the state's financial standing.
