City Council President George Forbes was the choice of 23 of the 759 registered voters surveyed in the Cleveland Plain DealerGordon S.

Black public opinion poll said Sunday. Sixteen percent of those surveyed favored state Sen. Michael White. The top two vote-getters in Tuesday's primary will meet Nov. 7 in the runoff election, the winner of which takes office on Jan.

1. choice of 23 Trailing Forbes and White in the poll were Cleveland Clerk of Courts Benny Bonanno with 13 of the respondents and Cuyagoga County Commissioner Tim Hagan with 11 of those surveyed, all Democrats; and the lone Republican, Cleveland school board President Ralph Perk with 4. absentee ballot requests of 200 to 400 daily had prompted high turnout projections but the number of such requests dipped to 10 or 20 daily in the past week. "All of a sudden it died," said Jones, who indicated election board officials believe the drop in absentee applications may mean none of the candidates has captured the fancy 'of the electorate and thus reduced last-minute voter interest. One factor which might generate a heavier turnout than expected is the number of emotion-charged city council primary races in Cleveland, according to Jones.

Because of the highly charged atmosphere in some of the races, federal, state and local officials agreed to cooperate to prevent voter harassment on Tuesday and make sure every eligible voter gets a chance to cast a ballot, she said.

11 V1 Funeral Flower 1 rJ kuihi JL rfietinrtuui THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Two Democratic state officeholders say they will be deciding in the next few weeks whether they will be candidates for governor. State Treasurer Mary Ellen Withrow said in a speech Saturday to the annual fall convention of the Federation of Democratic Women of Ohio that she felt obligated to consider running because she is the only woman holding an elected statewide office. She told the group her daughters voted 4-0 to encourage her to make the race. State Auditor Thomas Ferguson, predicting it would take between $8 million and $10 million to run a gubernatorial campaign next year, said he is determining whether he could raise enough money to finance such a race. "By mid-November, we'll be able to determine whether my campaign is able to get the kind of pledges and backing monetarily that we need to get involved in the race," he said.

Ferguson, who said he definitely will run for some office, said he expects House Speaker Vern G. Riffe D-Wheelersburg, to end months of speculation Thursday by announcing he will skip the governor's race. On the Republican side, Cleveland Mayor George Voinovich had the support of 61 members of the Franklin County Republican Central Committee and Hamilton County Commissioner Robert A. Taft had the support of 11, according to a survey published Sunday in the Columbus Dispatch. Thirty-two members did not comment.

Voinovich's votes represent a majority of the 119 committee members in Franklin County, virtually assuring him the endorsement of the state's largest county GOP organization, the paper said. Meanwhile, Norbert G. Dennerll head of two private Cleveland schools padlocked by the federal government for non-payment of taxes, said he plans to run for governor as an independent. 961-6622 City Wide, 7 Dtv Mntry WorW war I Vet World War II Vet Korean Veteran Vietnam Veteran 'Armed Forces Pay gap for guards in Indiana, Ky. States lag behind Illinois in salaries for most corrections positions Gunman told colleague his intentions began in 1975 when the state allowed correction officers and other state employees to form unions, said Steve Culen, Illinois director of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.

Changing fields Before collective bargaining, Culen said, correction officers had to quit and look for a different job if they wanted considerably more pay and a much less chance of being killed or injured on the job. "That's not to say that correction officers are killed or injured every day in a prison uprising, but it is a possibility that is always present," he said. Indiana and Kentucky don't have unions for state correction officers. However, Indiana Gov. Evan Bayh has pledged to support legislation next year that would give some form of collective bargaining to state employees.

1 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS EVANSVILLE, Ind. Correction officers at Illinois prisons receive at least $2 more per hour than counterparts in Indiana and Kentucky, where several communities are vying for new state prisons, a survey shows. Illinois provides the highest pay for the majority of security-related jobs that comprise 60 to 70 of a prison's work force, according to a survey by the Evansville Courier. Illinois correction officers earn a minimum starting salary of $9.32 an hour. Indiana, Kentucky lag The comparable hourly wage is $7.10 in Indiana, where Vanderburgh County and about 20 other communities want to be selected as the site for a new state prison that officials want to build in Southern Indiana.

Kentucky's minimum hourly wage is even lower at $5.97. That state also is Drenarins to build a new prison and preliminary interest has been expressed by Henderson officials. A prison warden, or superintendent, is the only security-related post that Illinois fails to compensate better than both of the other two states. Indiana tops that category; Kentucky again ranks last. Union officials in Illinois credit the state's higher salaries for lowering the turnover rates in prison security jobs.

Spokesman Brian Fairchild of the Illinois Department of Correction said the state now loses about 10 of its correction officers each year, compared to more than 30 annually in the early 1970s. The current turnover rate in Indiana is 26 to 28, said James Hmurovich of the Indiana Department of Correction. Similar statistics weren't available from the Kentucky Corrections Cabinet. For Illinois, the major difference between now and the early 1970s is t-ViA nnorarlino nf salariPS that intended to kill during a conversation at Lucas' house.

Wesbecker's first warning to Lucas was made in late 1987 or early 1988 when Wesbecker opened a brown bag and showed him a snub-nosed revolver, the newspaper said. Lucas said Wesbecker told him he was angry at supervisors and "that if any one of them came up to him and said anything other than what pertained to work-related conversation, that he was going to blow their brains out." Another warning came a few weeks ago when Wesbecker confided the names of six people he THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOUISVILLE A man who shot eight co-workers to death at a print shop told a colleague of his plans and even showed him the gun, but the threat was not heeded by others or reported to management, a newspaper reported Sunday.
