today and began his term as the peoples president by walking the 12 mile inaugural parade route from the Capitol to the While House To the delight of perhaps as many as a persons lining Pennsylvania avenue and the obvious chagrin of the Secret Service escort Carter abandoned his limousine and strode down the middle of the avenue hand in hand with his wife The temperature was in the high 20s and 15 winds ruffled their hair as they waved and smiled to the happy crowd in bright sunshine MINUTES AFTER he assumed the nations highest office Carter sounded a populist tone asking Americans to join him in a renewed search for humility mercy and justice The Georgia peanut farmer who rose from political obscurity a year ago to the nations highest office became the President in a simple ceremony almost as old as the country In a populist inaugural speech to a crowd of nearly 150000 jammed in front of the Capitol and a national television audience the President said his Administration and the nations third century would be marked with a new new new spirit A PRESIDENT may sense and proclaim that new spirit he said without the famous Carter smile but only a people can provide it Chief Justice Warren Burger ad ministered the oath to Carter at am El Paso just minutes after House Speaker Thomas P ONeill swore in Minnesotan Walter F Mondale as the nations 42nd vice president His right hand on the Bible given him by his mother the first Democratic President in eight years intoned the same 35word oath of every Chief Executive since George Washington in 1789 swearing to preserve protect and defend the Constitution of the United States Although forecasters had predicted clouds and possible snow flurries it was a brilliant winter day and a bright sun shown on the white marble Capitol and colorful throng outside CARTER WORE a topcoat to guard against the chilly tem but outgoing President Gerald Ford and Vice President Nelson Rockefeller were among the few wearing only suits Ford joked good naturedly about wearing long underwear Ford who was praised by Carter in his speech for all he has done to heal our land flew off to California and retirement immediately after the ceremony Despite the cold thousands packed along Pennsylvania Avenue to watch the new President return to the White House and witness the hour Chief Justice Warren Burger administers the oath of office to Jimmy Carter as Mrs Carter watches New president calls for fresh spirit Photo by UPI By TED KNAP Stiff Writer WASHINGTON President Carter in his inaugural address today set high moral goals for his ad ministration while cautioning Americans not to expect too much in material benefits from the govern ment The President called on Americans to join him in a new spirit of unity trust and individual sacrifice for the common good THE GEORGIA Democrats inaugural speech borrowed from Thomas Jefferson and John F Kennedy from Rep Barbara Jordan and philosopher Will Durand from the Bible and from his high school teacher in Plains Although avoiding specifics the relatively short speech sounded themes that would set the tone and course for his administration We have learned that more is not necessarily better that even our great nation has its recognized limits and that we can neither answer all Orange juice joins coffee escalator FROSTPROOF Fla UPI It may not be a good morning America I

we afford to lack boldness as we meet the future So together in a spirit of individual sacrifice for the common good we must simply do our best Carter borrowed the plea for in dividual sacrifice for the common good from Rep Jordans keynote speech at the Democratic convention Carter though press secretary Jody Powell called reporters at tention to the passage about the limits of government Politically he is better off at this point to promise less rather than build expectations higher than he can deliver CARTER SAID he has no new dream but called instead for fresh faith in the old dream
