The 44-year-old Carroll, a Paducah attorney and racial moderate, piled up big margins in predominantly Democratic rural areas and held down Republican Robert Gable's expected big margins in the suburbs surrounding Louisville.

Both candidates had deplored the court-ordered busing that rocked that city this fall. But the anti-incumbent backlash feared by Carroll supporters never materialized. Victorious Thelma Stovall (left), Evelyn Gandy with mother Women have their day as lieutenant governors LUNCH at The Bully Boy Chop House Rt. 303 Congers, N.Y 268-6555 By CARL LEUBSDORF AP Political Writer The strongest Republican challenge for the governorship of Mississippi in this century ended in a photo finish today and Kentucky Gov. Julian Carroll survived an antibusing backlash threat in off-year elections.

Women were elected lieutenant governors in the two states. With nearly 80 per cent of the Mississippi vote counted, Democrat Cliff Finch had 50.5 per cent of the total, polling 268,300 to 248,490 for Republican Gil Carmichael. Black independent Henry Jay Kirksey held the balance with 14,392 votes and threatened to throw the race into the state House of Representatives if Finch's lead slipped below an absolute majority in the final returns. The voters in both Kentucky and Mississippi picked women as lieutenant governors Tuesday. With New York's fiscal problems on the minds of voters, a number of large bond issues lost, including a record $4.5 billion package in Ohio, $922 million in New Jersey and $250 million in New York.

The Democrats kept legislative control in four states: Kentucky, Mississippi, New Jersey and Virginia. As is usual the year before a presidential election, Tuesday's widely scattered contests produced mixed results. There were no national trends and few surprises. The Republicans had placed their major emphasis on Mississippi. Carmichael, a 48-yearold Meridian businessman, ran a strong race there against Sen.

James O. Eastland in 1972. Finch, a Batesville attorney, had been the surprise winner of two rounds of Democratic primaries. The state's lieutenant governor contest was more one-sided as Democrat Evelyn Gandy, 55, now insurance commissioner, whipped Republican Mayor Bill Patrick of Laurel. In Kentucky, Democrat Carroll easily won a full four-year term in the post he By The Associated Press Women were elected lieutenant governors in two states, and voters in two others rejected proposed equal rights amendments to their state constitutions in elections that offered feminists both victory and defeat.

The rejection of state ERA proposals in New York and New Jersey on Tuesday was considered by some supporters to be a harbinger of a similar fate for the national ERA that must be approved by 38 states by 1979 for adoption to the U.S. Constitution. Thirty-four states, including both New York and New Jersey, have ratified the ERA so far. The women elected to No. 2 spots in Mississippi and Kentucky and New York's Mary Anne Krupsak are the only women lieutenant governors in the nation.

Both of the women elected Tuesday have expressed support for the ERA. but they campaigned primarily on the basis of their many years in state government. Democrat Evelyn Gandy, 55, first woman elected lieutenant governor in Mississippi, is a 30 year political veteran. She served as an aide to the late Sen. Theodore Bilbo.

before being elected to the legislature in She later served as an assistant attorney general, state treasurer and welfare commissioner. For the last four years, Miss Gandy has been Mississippi's insurance commissioner. She defeated five men in the Democratic primary and trounced Republican Mayor Bill Patrick of Laurel in the general election by more than 100,000 votes. She has generally avoided controversial issues, and she said in response to questions about the ERA that "although I personally favor the amendment, I feel at this time we should concentrate on equal opportunity, equal pay for equal work and encouraging more women to take an active interest in governmental affairs." In Kentucky, voters choose their first woman lieutenant governor, Democrat Thelma Stovall, by a 3 to 2 margin over Republican Shirley Palmer Ball, a businessman making his first bid for public office. Mrs.

Stovall, who has held a variety of posts during her 25 years in state government, said her sex "hasn't made any difference in the past, and it won't now. 'in fact, my opponent might have been better off if he hadn't tried to straighten out some voters' confusion over his name," she said, referring to Palmer-Ball's unsuccessful attempt to have his name appear on the ballot as S.W. rather than Shirley. Mrs. Stovall, 56, who has twice served as state treasurer, is completing her third term as secretary of state.

She has long been linked with Kentucky's labor movement and has been a member of the Tobacco Workers Union since 1936. In the lieutenant governor's race, Thelma Stovall, 56, now secretary of state, defeated her male Republican opponent, businessman Shirley Palmer Ball. In the day's major municipal contests, winners included Mayors Kevin H. White of Boston. Ralph Perk of Cleveland, Frank Rizzo of Philadelphia, William Donald Schaefer of Baltimore and Maurice Ferre of Miami.

In the only major surprise, Democratic Mayor Albert Hofstede of Minneapolis was unseated by the man he had beaten two years earlier, policeman and former Mayor Charles Stenvig. In Boston, the 46-year-old White won a third term over state Sen. Joseph Timilty, 37, by about 7,500 votes out of some 150,000 cast. As in Kentucky, the two candidates took roughly similar positions on the local busing controversy, criticizing the courtordered plan while urging that the law be obeyed. In other large cities, Mayor Fred Hofheinz led four rivals in Houston but failed to get 50 per cent and will vie in a runoff against his closest challenger, mmmmmm Proudly Announces FULL-SERVICE CATERING To Your Home or the Hall of Your Choice WE PROVIDE ANY OR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING Dishes Silverware Glassware Portable Ovens Waiters Tables Chairs Linen Chafing Dishes Serving Pieces Etc.

Kockhrad indoor Flea KcktU arc SUPER BODY WAVE For Men Women 7 PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Democratic Mayor Frank Rizzo, the ex-cop who supported President Nixon's re-election, easily won a second term in a race that saw the independent mayoral candidate outpoll the Republican nominee. It was the first time that the Republican mayoral candidate failed to finish at least second in a mayoral general election here. Rizzo received 319,160 votes Tuesday. Black independent Charles Bowser had 136,742, and Republican Thomas Foglietta 102,349. Foglietta gave up his 20-year seat on the City Council to run.

The mayor won 57 per cent of the total vote, the largest plurality since Richardson Dilworth picked up 65 per cent in his 1959 mayoral victory over Republican Harold Stassen. Democrats, who have controlled Philadelphia since 1952, swept 15 of the 17 contested City Council seats. Under the City Charter, two of the council seats automatically go to the minority party. Rizzo, a former police commissioner for the nation's fourth largest city, sat out the last three weeks of the campaign in a hospital, recuperating from a broken hip he suffered in a fall during a human stampede at an explosion-wracked refinery fire Oct. 12.
