MAHAN DETROIT (AP) Representatives of 394,000 striking General Motors workers approved yesterday a new contract that one union executive said would raise wages and fringe benefits by $1.80 an hour in three years. The United Auto Workers' 350-member GM Council listened to union leaders explain the terms of the tentative agreement for 512 hours before deciding by what was estimated to be a 4-1 margin to recommend it to the union's membership. "I want to telUyou I am not satisfied with this package," UAW President Leonard Woodcock told the council. "But there comes a point of time in the battle when gains to be made have to be weighed against the hardships to be inflicted on the troops, who are waging the front-line battle." Woodcock later told a news conference, "I am never satisfied," adding, "This is a good solid showing of progress for the families we represent. We got something in virtually every area of our demands." He declined to put' a cents-per-hour or a percentage price tag on the package, saying, "No one can tell now, it depends on the cost of living movement." A knowledgable source who declined to be named, estimated the cost to GM at $2.5 billion over three years.

GM had estimated its last prestrike offer worth $1.9 billion. Woodcock disagreed with GM Vice President Earl R. Bramblett that the settlement was inflationary and insisted it was counterinflationary. On Wednesday, the union's 25-member International Executive Board and its GM bargaining team recommended unanimously that the contract be accepted. The council's show-of-hands vote yesterday came after Woodcock spoke for 38 See UAW Back page, col.

The defective machine was the one used in the 28th precinct of the 5th Ward, which Mazzoli carried by 15 votes.

Upon learning that the machine was defective, Cowger and his top Republican advisers huddled about 4 p.m. They then asked the election commissioners to delay signing the sheet making the election "official." The Republican member of the commission, James F. Steinfeld, said he had agreed to delay signing the election certification "a reasonable amount of time" so that other voting machines could be inspected. 3 The Democratic member of the commission, former County Judge B.

Democratic state Sen. Romano L. Mazzoli was certified as the "official" winner in the race about 5 p.m.

by two of the three members of the Jefferson County Election Commission. But at 6:30 p.m., attorneys for incumbent Republican Rep. William O. Cowger obtained a court order temporarily forbidding the election commission "from certifying the results." Democratic officials last night claimed that Mazzoli, by majority action of the election commission, is now the "official" winner in the election and that only the U.S. House of Representatives can change the outcome.

Republicans, however, by their court action last night are challenging the legality of the certification. The legal quagmire will be explored at 1 p.m. today when Jefferson Circuit Judge Marvin J. Sternberg hears motions on the restraining order he issued last night. The close, bitter election involving Cowger, Mazzoli and American Party candidate Ronald W.

Going into yesterday's recanvass of the voting machines, Cowger trailed Mazzoli by 210 votes, with Watson being a distant third. The recanvass of the machines which involved checking the machine count against the figures on the election commission's tally brought a one-vote increase for Mazzoli.

On Inside Pages By JOE WARD Courier-Journal Staff Writer The Kentucky Court of Appeals overruled a decision by Jefferson Circuit Judge Marvin Sternberg yesterday and ordered him to find 18 Louisville-area stores in contempt of court for their operations on Sundays. The order prescribed heavy fines, but a number of stores are apparently still uncertain whether they will be open this Sunday. The high court, acting on an appeal by the Retail Merchants Association of Louisville (RMA), said the 18 stores are guilty of "a direct affront of (Sternberg's) court and a challenge to its authority." The order said Sternberg "erred" in "failing" to find contempt in the case last month, and ordered him to assess fines against the stores involved. The fines, it said, are to be levied "for each Sunday on which a violation occurred," in an amount "sufficient to assure compliance with the temporary injunction" and "in no event less than 50 per cent of the total gross sales" of each violator on each day of violation. Sternberg said yesterday that the order "will have to be brought to (my) court's attention" formally before he can proceed with the instructions.

He indicated that this means parties interested in seeing the order carried out, presumably the RMA, will have to submit a request for the action to Sternberg's court. The appeals court order directly affects only the stores selected by the RMA for contempt charges, although others are known to have operated on Sunday. Winfrey Blackburn, an RMA attorney, indicated the merchants group will wait and see whether stores operate this Sunday before deciding whether to bring action against other stores. Stores subject to the fines, according to Blackburn are: Four Consolidated Sales So. stores, at 1407 W.

Randolph W. Thrower, the commissioner of Internal Revenue, announced new guidelines under which tax exemption would be granted to such organizations, which are sometimes called "public-interest law firms." Thrower said he knew of no organization currently possessing tax-exempt status that would be denied it under the guidelines. Basically, the new regulations permit litigation by tax-exempt organizations as long as it serves a broad public interest rather than a private one.

There By JOHN VINOCUR PARIS (AP) Charles de Gaulle was buried in a village churchyard yesterday, and later hundreds of thousands of Frenchmen, in a great outpouring of grief, marched through darkness and rain to the Arch of Triumph. The day of requiem was in three states.

First, 100 world leaders gathered at Notre Dame Cathedral to hear Mass. Four hours later, the funeral itself began at Colombey-les-Deux Eglises, 160 miles away. Then, after nightfall, came the flood of emotion of Parisians drawn as if by command into a march along the an anonymous farewell to the man who had been their leader in war and peace. The broad Champs Elysees was a solid mass of humanity and a forent of umbrellas from the Rond Point to the Etoile. A Foggy Way to Start the Day were men in business suits with no protection from the rain, rivulets of water streaming down their noses; a young man in velvet coat, brushing the water from his long hair; gray-haired couples; a woman in a purple cloth coat and plastic head cover, walking with difficulty, leaning heavily on a cane.

This was something Gen. De Gaulle had not planned when he laid down restrictions for his own funeral. Neither in the white-washed village church at Colombey nor in the soaring 800-year-old cathedral in Paris were there eulogies, drum rolls, bugle calls or speeches. At the graveside were only his family and an escort of men whose loyalty never failed from the time in 1940 when he appealed for resistance to the German conquest. All around, filling the lanes of the village, were tens of thousands of Frenchmen hungry, cold, but patient as they waited to file past the grave.
