state and a better place to live Edward Thompson (Ned) Breathitt -at 39 one of the youngest men in history to win the highest office was sworn in as governor one minute past the stroke of Monday midnight in a private ceremony Then today after a mammoth 319 hour the Hopkinsville attorney publicly took the oath of office simultaneously with distinguished Lt Gov Harry Lee Waterfield shortly before 3 pm They continued a Democratic reign uninterrupted by a Republican administration here since 1947 Jets Roar Overhead Jets of Air National Guard and Army planes roared overhead intermittently during the parade sometimes spewing out colored smoke And there was smoke from two steam engines aground pulling floats instead of the customary threshing machines Multi-hired costumes of marchers many bare-legged and stocking clad against the weather majorettes bands some outfitted as hillbilly and floats lent a festive air to the parade which originated in downtown Frankfort at 10 am and went up Capital Avenue to the reviewing stand But the formal inauguration at the traditional spot in front of the New Capitol was marked by somber notes born of the assassination of the late President John Fitzgerald Kennedy The gray overcast sky seemed to be fitting for such remembrances Yet a warming sun shone through most of the time And it cast a glow on much of the pomp and pageantry and held out promise of a new spirit such as urged by the new governor Confident Of Future am confident that with the help of Almighty God and the cooperation of a free Breathitt declared in strong voice can keep

serious He bore down on the word Dedicates nimself The governor said cannot attain these goals by some magic formula or by simply wishing for their realization Government alone and certainly a governor alone cannot do the Job Every group in our commonwealth management labor agriculture and govern' ment must make a total commitment As for me I make that commitment to you today in a spirit of complete dedicn This brought more applause from the thousands In attendance The crowd seemed smaller to veteran observers than those at the Inangura lions of his predecessor re tired Gov Bert Thomas Combs and the latter's fore runner Albert Benjamin Chandler But those Inaugurations had climaxed victories of the two top men on the Demo cratte tickets In bitter fae tkmal primary battles preceding triumphs over Repub Ilcans In November Breathitt's teammate today Waterfield had run with Chan' dler in the May primary And while there was enthusiasm to daywhoopla usually associated with an inauguration after a faction's victory definitely was lacking Forecasts of Incle ment weather undoubtedly con' trlbuted to the decision of many Kntlal spectators to remain Biggest Parade Ever Those

over the country Royal visits to provincial cities and boroughs during the summer when the royal yacht navigates the fiords and the sounds between our 500 islands are other fetive occasions In King's as our capital is often called there is a bit of festivity every day throughout the year except when the King is not at home The changing of the a i n-uniformed Royal Guard is a distinctive Copenhagen feature and a real show The guard marches the streets of the inner city at noon headed by its large band the finest of its kind in Europe This is like the famous Tivoli pleasure gardens a very festive and spectacular attraction but both are daily fare to Copenhagen ers A few days ago when addressing a dub in Lexington on Denmark I mentioned the Danish monarchy and expressed the personal opinion that this system was an anachronism in a modern democracy like Denmark However I said I was in favor of preserving it because the traditions and pageantry attached to it made Denmark more interesting and benefitted the country by stimulating publicity and tourism Afterwards one of my listen ers told me I was wrong There was more to our monarchy than this he explained In America the head of state was a political elected official he went on This meant that all the snobbery and tho pomp and circumstances which we in Denmark could concentrate on our royalty who had nothing to do with politics was in America bestowed on a political figure which muddled American politics I though the point was very well made But yesterday when I attended the Inaugura' lion ceremony at Frankfort another aspect occurred to me namely that in the United States there is festivity attached to the functions of democracy itself that political life calls for gay and colorful ceremonies In Denmark our monarch has a monopoly on all fcstlvl ty while democracy is always bleak and cheerless in Its outward appearance We only know it in Its working clothes and its most festive costumo is a grey suit Renewal Pay Plans

difference whether Mr Valles is here or because the board of commissioners already has the plan Under the new plan he said most city employes would get some pay increases and he could not recall that any de creases were recommended Last week the city manager game to the commissioners letters outlining urban renewal costs to the city and pointing out a strong possibility that the levying of the sewer service foes may he necessary lie also told a group of downtown merchants last Friday that the city would need more revenue if urban re newal Is undertaken-Cook pointed out the $9 million urban renewal project would cost the city approximately $1100000 in cash Actually the share in the cost would be 12 million but it would be credited with $900000 worth of improvements These improvements include st reels sewers new Charles Young Center and land for a park The city's share of 92 million represents one third of the project net loss Authorities estimate that the eost of acquiring and

the welcome given Gov Breathitt was warm and heartfelt There was warmth in the Joy and cheerfulness which marked the whole ceremony It was the presence of the many children and youngsters that gave a definite touch of life to the inauguration They were the active representatives of the people of Kentucky and without them the whole ceremony might have been more marked by stiff solemnity and political cant Despite the endless procession of brass bands I have never in my life seen so many and so large bands assembled I felt that there was not one too many Every child or youngster who showed up in band uniform helped to demonstrate that this was a great day equ ally important for every comer of the state It must be a source of great encouragement to a democratically elected governor to begin his term in this way to see that so many care so much!
