In 14 degree weather on the Statehouse steps Ohio's newly elected officials led by James A. Rhodes were sworn in in colorful ceremonies. Rhodes, 65, a Republican, becomes Ohio's 63rd chief executive returning to the office he held eight years earlier as thousands of supporters packed the flag bedecked snow covered setting.
Former Governor John J. Gilligan spoke of the painful process of losing a pivotal office while attending Lt. Gov. Richard Celeste’s swearing in. Rhodes’s term opened amid student protests over Kent State deaths as Ohio leaders took oaths and outlined economic and energy plans.
Richard F. Celeste, Ohio's first Democratic lieutenant governor in 12 years, took the oath at 9 44 a.m. in the Ohio Senate chamber. He noted uncertainty about the office's scope, hinting the Supreme Court may settle it, as court action over six bills loomed. Chester Bowles observed from the gallery. Celeste once worked for Bowles.
The Supreme Court lets stand a U.S. Circuit decision dismissing a lawsuit by Cleveland area residents alleging that a federal cooperation agreement with five suburbs and the Cuyahoga County Metropolitan Housing Authority perpetuates racial housing segregation. Plaintiffs cite high black residency in Cleveland and suburban concentration near the city.
