Transportation, the environment, education, crime, and deteriorating cities were the problems Kean said need new solutions. But the Democrats pledged to work with Kean, at least for the time being.

With cannons booming a 19-gun salute and inaugural festivities that lasted far into the night, New Jersey yesterday welcomed the new governor, who in turn promised to bring the state a new era of progress. In an address interrupted eight times by applause from 2,000 people packed into Trenton's War Memorial auditorium, Kean sang Reagan's praises and endorsed efforts in Washington to shift more power but less money to the states. "We must turn away from a reliance on Washington and focus our energies on a renaissance in Trenton," he said. See TASK, Page A-10 By Harvey Fisher 'ne Recoid Trenton bureau TRENTON The marching band had gone home and the dance floor was empty as New Jersey's new governor sat down at his desk this morning to begin making good his promise to revitalize the state's economy without Washington's help. Thomas H.

Kean, sworn to office yesterday to the tune of "Hail to the Chief" and feted much of the night at a $250-a-head inaugural ball, settled in today to work on a tentative 1983 state budget. He was expected to begin working towards his stated goals of reducing New Jersey's eliance on Washington, cutting the size and cost of state government, and creating what he described in his inaugural address yesterday as "an atmosphere in which our economy can grow and prosper." But some Democratic legislators voiced doubt yesterday that Kean will be able to tackle the problems he listed in his address without spending more of the money A campaign pledge kept i Hit Recoid wife seinces TRENTON Although still unsuccessful in their efforts to find the murderers of Trooper Philip Lamonaco. New Jersey state police yesterday swore out a murder warrant for a second man in the Dec. 21 shoot-out on Interstate 80 in Knowlton Township. Judge Paul Aaroe of Superior Court in Warren County yesterday accepted the murder complaint against fugitive Richard Charles Williams, a 34-year-old suspected associate of Thomas Manning, who is also wanted for Lamonaco's murder William's last known address was in Boston, where Manning was alleged to have been a member of a radical group called the Sam Melville-Jonathan Jackson Unit, which took credit for a series of bombings in Boston during the 1970's.

"He has a lengthy record including armed robbery, narcotics violations, and has served time in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts state prison," said state police Supt. Clinton Pagano of Williams in a statement issued yesterday. "He is a fugitive wanted by Cambridge, authorities for larceny," Pagano said. "He (Williams has had an association with Manning before and during the murder," Pagano said. "It also known that he possesses a 9-mm handgun." But a state police spokesman, Lt.

Joseph Ko-bus. said he could not comment if that is the murder weapon or not. Lamonaco was struck eight times by See SUSPECT, Page A-2 Humes, who has written speeches for former Pennsylvania Gov. William Scranton and former President Gerald Ford, came up with a draft that reflected the tone and content the Kean people sought. Then Carl Golden, a Kean press aide, reworked the draft, after consulting with at least one other Kean aide, according to Kean.

Finally, the speech was worked over by Kean himself. Golden said Humes fashioned one of the speech's catchier lines: See PROMISE.

The Supreme Court while ruling that "any relevant mitigating fact" must be considered when the death penalty is imposed on a minor, yesterday stopped short of deciding whether capital punishment for juvenile defendants is unconstitutional By a 5-4 margin, the court voted to release Monty Lee Eddings from Oklahoma's death row and ordered a new sentencing for him. Eddings had been convicted of shooting a state patrolman on a highway outside Tulsa. He was 16 years old at the time of the shooting. The ruling leaves the Oklahoma courts with the option to sentence Eddings to death again if they choose.

But the justices ordered the state's-judges to consider all relevant factors, including Eddings's family history and the fact that at the time of the crime, he was a juvenile with "serious emotional problems."

The December jobless rate, at 8.9 percent, was the highest since May 1975. The 1981 unemployment rate averaged 8 1 percent, compared with 7 4 percent for 1980, he said, adding, "But that is kind of unfair comparison because it was increasing very much more in the last six months of 1980." The president at first said that despite the increase in the jobless rate, 1 million more people were working today than a year ago Later, however, a White House acknowledged that the president had been in error Reagan's comments on the unemployment rate during Carter's last year in office and on the increase in the See POLICIES.

President Reagan met with reporters yesterday and found himself defending once again an economic program that he continues to insist will bring prosperity to the nation. Looking toward the 10-percent tax cut that is scheduled to go into effect in July, in addition to last year's 5-percent cut, Reagan predicted: "As reductions in tax rates begin to take effect.

I am quite sure you'll see an upsurge in the economy The president said he shares the nation's concern for the plight of the estimated 9 million workers who are unemployed, but he refused to accept the blame for the lack of jobs, saying such a conclusion would be unfair.
