Patterson was sworn in at 12:35 p.m.

Patterson pledged to do everything possible to increase school teacher salaries and provide adequate school facilities. At the same time, he said there will be no compromise in the fight to maintain segregation in Alabama schools. He called on the Legislature to take action to stop open and flagrant violation of the law by loan sharks. HE SAID HE intends to carry out his campaign pledges of an average old age pension of $75 per month. This, he said, can be done by cutting out graft, corruption and waste in the state government.

GEN. NATHAN TWINING Exception to sweep? Ike may drop brass except for Twining BY ROBERT S. ALLEN WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 President Eisenhower is seriously considering mak-ihg a clean sweep of the joint Chiefs with one exception. The exception is Gen.

Nathan Twining, chairman of the joint chiefs. Definite decision already has been made to give him a second two-year term, although his present one doesnt expire until August. Prior to becoming head of the joint chiefs. Twining was air cfilei of staff. But in discussions with congressional leaders, the president is indicating he is strongly inclined toward replacing all the other joint chiefs.

That will mean the retirement of: BY FRANK CORMIER WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 UP) President Eisenhower today sent Congress a $77 billion budget forecast with a spending cut of nearly $4 billion and a precarious surplus of $70 millions. He called it "a confident budget" that assumes a surge of prosperity. Eisenhower said the budget aims to restrain inflationary forces that cheapen our money and erode our savings. He also said it paves the way for a tax cut in the reasonably foreseeable future.

Any added postal revenues and proceeds from loophole plugging would increase budget receipts. Gas tax money would go into a separate trust fund which, Eisenhower said, would otherwise have to be replenished out of the budget. Eisenhower said his fiscal blueprint, for all its emphasis on economy, promises to increase our military effectiveness. The budget calls for hiking Defense Department mili tary spending by $145 million but projects a cut of 462 millions in arms aid to other nations. for help in winning support for his budget.

Even as his budget message was being put before the lawmakers, Eisenhower sought public support in a statement recorded for use on nationwide television and radio. The president said the budget comprises the proposals of the government for assuring the safety of our nation, the well-being of our people and their continuing prosperity. He added his spending proposals make it possible to provide wisely for all the nations essential needs, and at the same time allow us to live within our means. The president called the Folsom notes vote in North Alabama MONTGOMERY, A 1 Jan. 19 Outgoing Gov.

James E. Folsom, just before departing the Capitol where incoming Gov. John Patterson was to be sworn in, scrawled this note to Patterson: Dear John, North Alabama done it again! Folsom was referring to the fact that most of the State Democratic Executive Committee members voting for Sam Englhardt Pattersons choice for chairman, were from North Alabama. Folsom then drove away from the Capitol grounds in the same 1951 Nash sedan in which he came here four years ago for his inauguration for a second term. At Patterson inaugural Crowd goes wild as parade passes BY CLANCY LAKE, News staff writer MONTGOMERY, Jan.

19 A colorful inaugural parade for the new governor of Alabama today revived the fighting spirit of the old South in this cradle of the Confederacy. National Guard bandsmen wearing replicas of Johnny Reb uniforms Patterson, will ask $60 million in road bonds BY FRED TAYLOR News staff Writer MONTGOMERY, A I Jan. 19 Gov. John Patterson will ask a special session of the Alabama Legislature to authorize $60 million, instead of the earlier reported $50 million, in road bonds for matching federal highway money, it was learned today from a source close to the new chief executive. It was said that an additional $10 million, over and above the figure Patterson has been using for several months, would be necessary to meet the interstate highway needs in the huge road program ahead.

PATTERSON DID not specify any amount of bonds in his inauguration speech today, saying merely that we must issue bonds to raise money to match federal funds for the building of roads. He did say that this bond issue can be financed from pres-sent gasoline tax revenues without any additional taxes levied on our people. Gov. Patterson will call a special session of the Legislature for Feb. 3 to consider the road bond proposal and other measures, including bills to strengthen Alabamas segregation laws.

broke into "Dixie" as they neared Gov. Patterson's reviewing stand and the huge crowd went wild. THE SPONTANEOUS outburst rose on Robert E. Lees birthday and echoed among buildings once occupied by Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate states. Spectators continued to yell after the Guards Rebel band had passed and other parade units rolled on.

The procession was probably the longest and liveliest ever to unfold in Alabama. There were 120 bands and 140 floats. Most of the bands played Dixie when they passed the spot where Gov. Patterson stood, dressed in a morning coat and waving his top hat. Units in the parade portrayed everything from an old-fashioned sheriff's posse to a modern rocket launching.

Maj. Gen. Walter J. Hanna led the first contingent the Alabama National Guard. An old friend of Patterson from Phenix City vice cleanup days, the general was the first man to salute him in his new role.

Folsom mounted the reviewing stand at 8:40 a.m. The new governor arrived seated on the back of an open convertible. Temperatures were cool but comfortable. A blue sky was dotted with floating clouds. After taking the stand, Patterson was flanked by his wife, children, mother and grandmother.

Double blow dealt Virginia school laws RICHMOND, Jan. 19 (JP) The Virginia Supreme Court today struck down the state's statutes against racial integration which have closed nine schools in Norfolk, Charlottesville and Warren County. The state court's action was disclosed after a three-judge federal court in Norfolk threw out the closure law which has displaced some 10,000 secondary school pupils in the big port city. But the unappealable state court decision had more immediate effect on the future of Virginia public school operations. IN A 22-PAGE majority opinion by Chief Justice John W.

Eggleston, the court rejected a principal contention of Gov. J. Lindsay Almonds administration. This was that when the U. S.

Supreme Court knocked out the segregation section of the Virginia constitution it also invalidated the section requiring the state to provide for a system of public The decision came on a 5 to 2 division. The court also rejected the Legislatures definition of "efficient as meaning schools that are operated only on a racially segregated basis. Thus the court knocked out another key provision of the massive resistance package of laws. THIS VAS THE state fund withholding provision which is written into the general appropriation act appropriating state funds only for efficient school systems with efficient taken to mean segregated. The state court action apparently will result ip the appointment by Gov.

Republicans welcomed the plans for a budget balance and said the alternative is more inflation. Sen. John Sparkman Ala.) called the figures unrealistic, saying he found it hard to be lieve that Congress will increase gasoline taxes or postal rates. House speaker Sam Rayburn Tex.) said he hopes for a balanced budget but added I dont see much chance for it under the presidents proposals.

He said there will be fresh and vigorous action taken to attract new industry to Alabama and at the same time his administration will work toward helping thfarmer and working man of the state to have a more comfortable living.

He also promised to work toward good labor-management relations in Alabama. The youthful Phenix City attorney emphasized continued development of Alabamas rivers, docks and harbors. HE CALLED for continued expansion of the states farm-to-market road program as well as roads to meet the complex needs of the drban areas. Patterson said the state should issue bonds to raise money to match federal funds for the building of roads. This can be done, he said, without any additional taxes being levied.

Patterson said he will put into effect a program whereby every department of the state government will lend every effort in planning to advertise the states attractions and help boost the tourist trade. He hit hard on other of his campaign pledges elimination of graft and corruption. I promise you that tonight at midnight, when I take over the reins of this state government, a program will go into effect to cut out the waste and squandering of your tax money, he said. I assure you that I will stop up the holes in the public treasury and get you your moneys worth for every tax dollar spent. SHORTLY AFTER the four hour parade ended, Athens Circuit Sol.

George Johnson, master of ceremonies, introduced the Rev. Henry Aldridge of Arab who gave the invocation. Justice James S. Coleman then administered the oath of office to Albert Boutwell, the new lieu tenant governor. The oath of office was then administered by Chief Justice J.

Edward Livingston to the states constitutional officers: Frank M. Stewart, superintendent of education; Bettye Frink, secretary of state; R. C. Bamberg, commissioner of agriculture-industries; Mary Texas Hurt Garner, auditor; Agnes Baggett, treasurer. All were administered the oath at the same time.

(Atty. Gen. MacDonald Gallion was sworn in a short time later in the Supreme Court Building.) Then came the long awaited moment when Patterson was sworn in as governor by Judge Walter B. Jones. THE MAJOR PART of Pattersons speech was taken up with a discussion of states rights and segregation as it involves the Alabamas public school system.

In decrying federal intervention, Patterson said, The federal courts have decreed that we must send our children to integrated schools contrary to our customs and traditions. They have told us how we must sit on city buses in Montgomery. We have seen paratroopers with bayonets try to ram integration of the races down our throats. We should bear in mind that any encroachment by the federal government on these rights of the state is tyranny.

American people to help him do everything within my power to keep our country strong, our economy expanding, and federal spending at a level that will make these objectives possible of attainment. EISENHOWER SAID his fiscal blueprint, for all its emphasis on economy, promises to increase our military effectiveness. The budget calls for hiking Defense Department military spending by $145 million but projects a cut of $462 million in arms aid to other nations. The president disclosed that in the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, the governments finances will be even deeper in the red than had been predicted.

He said recession-hit revenues will fall $12,871,000,000 short of matching indicated spending of $80,871,000,000. He said this whopping deficit the biggest ever in peacetime will make necessary another request to Congress for an increase in the legal ceiling on the national debt. For fiscal 1960, Eisenhower forecast revenues of a rise of nearly $9 billion He said tax receipts will be swelled to near-record levels by a rapidly advancing economy. BY THE PRESIDENTS cal culations, present revenue laws alone wouldnt produce a balanced budget. He is asking Congress to pass legislation that would increase budget receipts by $600 million in fiscal 1960.

Eisenhower proposed raising $350 million by again boosting postal rates, which went up only last August. He will submit details on this and other revenue proposals later. The federal gasoline tax would be hiked to 416 cents a gallon, from the present 3 cents.

THE ANCIENT Spartans used flaming bundles of sulphur and pitch impregnated faggots thereby creating a poison gas known as Greek fire to smoke out defenders of siege-bound cities. Today gas and germ warfare has possibly reached a point where an enemy could be reduced to babbling idiocy and conquered without a shot being fired.

The Russians are supposed to be capable of waging germ and gas warfare on a large scale. What is the United States doing about bacteriological and chemical warfare? To find the answer, read AP Newsfeatures Writer Roger Greenes report on this silent, lethal warfare in three articles beginning tomorrow in The Birmingham News. One of the high school bands which filed by got a special tip of the hat from Patterson. The band belonged to New Site, the Tallapoosa community where Patterson was bom. BALDWIN COUNTYS entry drew loud applause from the crowd.

It consisted of beautiful girls made up like mermaids. An ancient carriage pulled by horses was labeled Alabama old folks. Greene Countys float featured dozens of green balloons tied together. The balloons were released in front of the stands and immediately floated into an open office building window. THE FLOAT from Jefferson County featured a giant, silver colored Vulcan.

A dramatic highlight of the parade was streaking jets flown by the Alabama Air National Guard. The jets punctuated the ground activities by roaring low over the reviewing stands and capitol buildings. Long after the last note of Dixie had died away, and the tail of the parade had disappeared from view. Rebel yells still split the air. Today's chuckle CONFIDENCE IS the feeling you have before you know better, (c) House speaker airs program Adams confident of pension boost All 32 of the loyalist members present voted for Engelhardt, who favors fighting out differ-tences within the Democratic Party.

One loyalist, William I Collier of Florence, was absent. S. FOY WILLIAMS, Dothan, who withheld his vote until the roll call was otherwise completed, gave Engelhardt the 36th vote. With the count 35-35, shouts went up calling on Williams to cast his ballot. Cheers echoed from the ranks of Enugelhardt backers as Williams anounced, I cast my vote for Engelhardt.

Williams was one of those who backed Mizell for state chairman at the September caucus. In explaining his switch, Williams said he had decided at long last to vote for Engelhardt because he regarded it as best for the party. THE COMMITTEE took no action regarding the controversial Democratic loyalty oath, repeal of which is favored by both Engelhardt and Mizell. But the new chairman said he would call the committee together some time in April to take up this and other matters. After Engelhardts election, he took the microphone on the rostrum and said: I thank you.

Then there was a clamor of motions to adjourn and Engelhardt said, I now adjourn this meeting in honor of our new governor, John Patterson, so we can see him sworn in. APPARENTLY shocked by the final outcome, Mizell credited Judge Roy Mayhall, retiring committee chairman, for bringing about the Engelhardt victory. He added, I am most appreciative of those who stood by me so loyally. The roll call by which Engelhardt was elected: First Congressional District: Sam C. Blount, D.

Rather than raise the sales tax, Speaker Adams favors an upward revision of the state income tax to get the revenue necessary for increasing teachers pay. As for boosting the sates tax, he warned, We can go too far in raising consumer type taxes.
