Photo (Cont'd from Page plicants have fined out voluntary questionnaires listing their reaction and citing any problems. "The overall reaction was 91 percent favorable," she said PennDOT spokesman Charles Morse said that 9 percent of the motorists who received regular paper license renewal forms February and March chose to apply for two-year photo licenses instead.

Legislative leaders opposed to the program said that 9 percent figure shows the photo licenses are unpopular with the public. Sen. William Lincoln, D- Fayette, leader of the Senate campaign to kill photo licenses, said "the public is not responding to it. Only in 10 is taking advantage of it on a voluntary basis." Miss Tomana said photos are being waived for persons whose religious beliefs forbid having their photo taken. "For those motorists," she said, "the photo license is being marked "valid without photograph." PennDOT photo license program permits drivers over 65 to choose whether they get a two-year license renewal at $11.50 or a four-year license at $21.50.

Miss Tomana said of the first 10,663 drivers over 65 processed, 7,972 chose the two- year license and the rest four- year. "Some drivers have shown concern that the photo license program would involve a state file of their photos," she said "But that's not true. The instant photo process used produces no negative, no copies and the only photo produced is the one a driver will carry." Rep. Joseph Kolter, D- Beaver, a leader in earlier House attempts to kill the photo license program, said "1 understand support to override the governor's veto has dwindled. An override is possible but I don't think practical at this point.

Some senior citizens don't like the photo license idea," Kolter said, "because they don't look as good as the young people. But the women and young men like to have their photos taken." One PennDOT spokesman reported occasional requests for photo enlargements from photo centers a request that cannot be met. House Minority Whip James Manderino, D-Westmoreland, tried unsuccessfully April 30 to bring a Pennsylvania State Police pay bill to the House floor so he could propose adding an amendment that would kill the photo license program. "The idea was," a Manderino spokesman said, "to add the amendment to a bill the governor wouldn't want to veto." But the House Republican majority voted to table the state police pay biU, putting it out of reach for amendments. 5 Deaths (Cont'd from Page 1) said Mrs.

Montera had a heart condition that probably was worsened by spending seven nights sleeping on the muddy ground of the tent camp staging area at Mariel, which the refugees have dubbed "The Mosquito." At one point Sunday, an arriving boatman reported: "It's like a highway out there long lines of boats" spanning the 90-mile wide Florida Straits between Key West and Cuba. The flood of refugees strained facilities to handle them. More than 2,000 huddled inside Trumbo hangar at the U.S. Naval Air Station Annex, awaiting buses to take them either to Miami or to the airport for a flight to Eglin Air Force Base in the Florida Panhandle. By nightfall, some 1,000 refugees had been moved in eight planeloads to the Eglin tent city pitched on the Fort Walton Beach city fairgrounds.

Officials said they expected another 800 before noon today. Among those flown to Eglin were suspected hardcore criminals. Air Force spokesman Maj. John Fergus reported that 18 Cuban men had been locked up in the Santa Rosa County jail by immigration officers. in Miami, federal authorities said that a total of 133 refugees were being detained because they had serious criminal records in Cuba.

Most of them were being held at the Federal Correctional Institution south of Miami. Long Service No Problems This Summer Vacationers Can Look Forward To Lots Of Gas DAVID BECHTOLD Penelec Officer Retires David J. Bechtold, vice president of operations for the Pennsylvania Electric Company, retired on April 30 after 42 years of service with the and its predecessors. Prior to being named a vice president in June 1977, Bechtold served as the utility's Southern Division manager. He was elected to Penelec's board of directors in October 1977.

Bechtold began his utility career at Towanda in 1938 with the former Northern Pennsylvania Power Company, which later merged with Penelec. After four years in the U.S. Army during World War II, he rejoined North Penn in 1946 and was named chief engineer in 1954. When North Penn and Penelec merged in 1956, Bechtold was named Northeastern Division engineer. He became Central Division manager at Clearfield in 1959 and was named Southern Division manager at Johnstown in 1963.

A native of Rochester, N.Y., Bechtold is an engineering graduate of Cornell University and completed specialized training at the University of Illinois and the University of Michigan. He is a registered professional engineer and is past chairman of the Ithaca Section, Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. Bechtold's civic activities included membership on Towanda Borough Council and board positions with the Penn's Woods Council, Boy Scouts of America, Johnstown Symphony Orchestra, Johnstown Junior Achievements, Cambria County War Memorial Arena, Johnstown Flood Museum and Cambria County Historical Society.

Capucci (Cont'd from Page 1) WASHINGTON (UPI) Vacationers can look forward to plenty of gasoline this summer but shoppers may have trouble finding General Motors cars to buy. And Congress may consider a tax cut in September, but don't count on it.

The government, the oil industry, auto clubs and major tourist destinations all seem confident of enough summer gasoline for vacationers. The Energy Department's latest weekly report on U.S. gasoline stockpiles shows 283 million barrels almost 20 percent above a year ago. "Two weeks ago Friday, our gasoline inventory was the highest in history," said Earl Ross of the American Petroleum Institute. Word of the brimming stocks has reached the big tourist states, now girding for record numbers of travelers.

"We're going to have a very healthy tourist season easily. 36 million visitors, maybe 37 million," forecast Ed Gilbert of the Florida Division of Tourism. Gasoline prices average about $1.20 a gallon and "we don't expect to see any dramatic, quantum leap in price," said Dan Bartges of the Virginia State Travel Bureau. General Motors Corp. Chairman Thomas Murphy said because of high interest rates, GM will be "product short through the summer months because of the unwillingness of dealers to order." "We think inventories are being taken down articifially at the moment because of the reluctance of our dealers to order." Murphy said.

Appearing on CBS's "Face The Nation" program, Murphy said foreign made automobiles share "too much of the market." Americans should give domestic manufacturers a "fair shake in the market place," he said, and at the same time help get auto workers off the unemployment lines. Murphy said he agreed "the recession, if there is one, will be short and mild." But he disagreed that the domestic auto industry failed to predict the popularity of smaller-sized, fuel efficent autos. Up until a year ago, Murphy said, when gas lines started forming in California, the cars that were selling were the larger models. "That's where the market was going," he said. Sen.

Ernest F. Hollings, appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," said Sunday Congress might take a look at a tax cut in the fall. Hollings, who will succeed secretary of state-nominee Sen. Edmund Muskie as chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, said the deepening recession and rising unemployment now at 7 percent will not necessarily rule out a balanced budget.

families. But the official Pars news agency confirmed that all political and medical problems had been resolved and the bodies would be flown to Switzerland Tuesday or Wednesday. There was still no final word on the number of American bodies picked up by the Iranians at the desert site where the attempt to rescue the hostages, now held for six months, ended with a collision between two aircraft. Iranians claim a ninth victim, or possibly a tenth, had been found at the scene, but Washington maintains only eight commandos died. As Capucci prepared for the final shipment of the dead, militants who seized the American embassy 184 days ago said the hostages have now been dispersed to at least seven different locations across the country to prevent another rescue attempt by the United States.

The final stage in elections were set for June 9 for Iran's new parliament, which Khomeini has decreed would have the power to decide the hostages' fate whether to release them or try them as spies. The last outsiders to see the hostages as a group were two Red Cross officials who visited the captives on April 14, when 50 of them were still being held at the embassy. In addition, three hostages, including charge d'affaires, Bruce Laingen, were being held separately in the Iranian Foreign Ministry and there has been no confirmation of their whereabouts since last week's unsuccessful rescue attempt. Iran also took a tough stand over the hostage situation at its own embassy in London, where Arab-Iranian gunmen from the autonomy-seeking southwestern Khuzestan province are holding about 18 hostages and demanding the release of 91 political prisoners in Iran. An open letter from Foreign Minister Sadegh Ghotbzadeh said Iran has prepared its own rescue operation, but warned the hostages they must prepare to accept ATLANTA (UPI) A new influenza virus has surfaced in this country and several other parts of the world, prompting government scientists to change their recommendations for next winter's preventive vaccine.

The new virus is being called A-Bangkok. Because it is antigenically different from other flu viruses that have been around for some time, it has the potential for infecting large segments of the population. A panel of the government's top health experts, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, meets today and Tuesday to consider recommendations for a protective flu vaccine. The sessions will be held at the national Center for Disease Control. Scientists first spotted the A-Bangkok virus in the late stages of last winter's flu outbreaks.

Most of the flu cases at that time were caused by another flu bug, B- Singapore. But there were scattered cases of the more severe influenza-A, some of which were found to be the A- Bangkok variety. The new virus, an offshoot of the old A-Texas microbe that caused a great deal of illness in the late 1970s, was identified not only in this country but in Europe and Asia, said Dr. Donald Millar, director of the CDC's bureau of state services and secretary of the immunization advisory committee. A January meeting called by the U.S.

Surgeon General originally had decided on a vaccine for next winter that would have included protective antibodies against A-Texas, B-Singapore and A-Brazil (Russian) influenza Millar said. "Subsequent influenza isolates showed signs of a definite antigenic drift," Millar said and, "the surgeon general decided that the The $612.9 billion budget proposal before the Senate anticipates an unemployment rate that would average thai would average out to percent, "a rate it has not yet reached," Hollings said. "Admittedly, it (unemployment) could get higher and we can have another chance to look at that." That chance would come in mid-September, when a second budget resolution is considered. Hollings said the budget resolution includes a billion cushion" that could be tapped lor a lax cut if needed to quell the recession. He said possible tax cuts that have been discussed include accelerated depreciation and investment credit for business.

But he generally ruled out a cut in personal income taxes. vaccine should contain the A- Bangkok protection rather than the A-Texas. "The committee will consider a statement which calls for use of this vaccine for the coming year." Vaccine components for the other two flu strains apparently will not be affected by the change. For the first time since the winter of 1977-78, there will be no federally funded free flu shot program next fall for people at high risk from influenza those over 65 and persons with chronic ailments. Money for the program was not included in the federal budget for the fiscal year that starts Oct.

1. Last winter, although Congress provided more than $6 million for 3 million free flu vaccinations, only about 1.5 million people took advantage of the program. The $8 million program for the 1977-78 flu season also fell short of its immunization goal. Carter, Reagan Win Big Texas gave President Carter a landslide victory in delegates and popular vote this weekend, but there are indications his political problems may be increasing. On the Republican side, frontrunner Ronald Reagan, won 65 of the 80 Texas delegates, all 28 in Arizona and seven of 15 in Minnesota to further strengthen his hold on the GOP nomination.

George Bush won the few Reagan didn't. Missouri Republicans also formalized local results that will give him 34 of the state's 37 delegates. Reagan now has 592 of the 998 delegates needed for the nomination. Bush has 142 delegates. Although Carter easily outdistanced Sen.
