Latin America's first serious woman presidential candidate, Maria Eugenia Rojas, received only 228, 765 votes on the populist AXAPO ticket. Communist-backed candidate Hernando Echeverri Mejia received and Christian Democrat Hermes Duarte tallied only 1,332. A spokesman for AXAPO said today the party would not recognize Lopez' victory until complete and official returns were in. Political experts predicted Lopez would take only about 51 per cent of the votes once the ballots were counted in rural areas, where Gomez' Conservatives have traditionally been strong. Lopez needed only a plurality to win.

Maria Eugenia, the daugh- BOGOTA (UPI) Liberal' party candidate Alfonso Lopez Michelscn piled up a landslide load today to win Colombia's first "open-to-all" presidential election since 10-4(5. Lopez, a fiO-year-oId law professor campaigning for moderate social and economic reforms, issued a victory statement shortly before midnight. Minutes later, the Conservative party said candidate Alvaro Gomez Hurtado, Lopez' leading rival, was drawing up a formal concession statement. In his victory statement, Lopez offered to collaborate with Gomez and guarantee! the defeated Conservatives "the right to criticize the new government." Lopez' victory became clear with only 40 per cent of the vote counted, giving him 4 ter of former dictator Gustavo Rojas Pinilla and mother of two teen-agers, ran on a platform of "Socialism, Colombian style." Her critics called it a mixture of "vodka and holy water." Lopez, joking after his victory announcement, said, "The real news would have been the defeat of the two male contenders." The election, relatively peaceful in comparison to previous Colombian ballot-box violence, brought an end to a 1957 power-sharing arrangement by the Liberal and Conservative parties to rotate the presidency. The two parties, which had made the agreement to end a decade of civil war in Colombia, declared this year's contest "free for all." Conservative President Misael Pastrana Borrero promised Friday to hand over power for a four-year term to whichever party won.

Lopez was expected to make moderate changes in his campaign he supported cautious land and tax reform and measures to reduce unemployment and distribute wealth. He was heir to one of Colombia's most prominent political families. His father, Alfonso Lopez, was president 1934-38 and 1942-45. Many admirers considered his father the greatest Colombian politician of this century. Ml Bl KH Dh 2's "iiuai jsw Reg.

After that, the OAS conference will begin tackling the organization's routine administrative affairs. Kissinger set the tone of the OAS conference at opening sessions during the weekend.

He urged greater global understanding, a less formal OAS structure and closer ties, but "not a common front against others." He told the foreign delegates President Nixon was trying to raise U. S. assistance to food productions programs in the Americas by 50 per cent. And in reference to the controversy over some U. S.

businesses in Latin America, he pledged hemispheric harmony would take precedence over commercial experts in New Orleans, as he tells newsmen he has no idea of the origin of the 22-pound sphere.

"I had a long talk with him and his sister last night. I would say they're solid. It puzzles them and they are actually disturbed by all the publicity they have been getting. As far as I know, they've made no money out of it yet." Ilynek said he doesn't know if Matthews will allow further tests on the ball, which could include cutting it open, to learn more about it. This much has been established, Ilynek said: "The ball's average density is 2.2, which certainly means it couldn't be steel all the way through.

But the X-ray's didn't seem to substantiate that it was hollow." It has magnetic poles. But there is no evidence that is moves by itself. "It's still sort of a mystery," Ilynek said, "particularly how it got where they found it." know how the thing got there. I'm rather surprised that with all the publicity it's gotten, somebody hasn't 'fessed up and said, 'I know what it is." Ilynek said none of the five scientists now thinks the object is other than man-made. "None will go so far as to say its extra-terrestrial," he said in an interview Sunday.

"They would be putting their scientific reputations on the line." The five scientists met here as members of a National Enquirer panel on UFOs. The weekly magazine has offered $50,000 to anyone who can come up with 'definite' proof of extra-terrestrial life. Matthews is not certain himself of what he found and defers to the judgment of the scientists. "I think he's quite on the level," Ilynek said of Mat lEUl! LIQUID IS 1 Spring Sale!

"We don't have any intention of restoring diplomatic relations with Cuba, and I don't expect this will be a big subject this week," Kissinger told newsmen after attending the opening sessions of the Organization of American States (OAS) conference. There is expected to be a move among some of the 22 Latin American members of the OAS to endorse Argentina's call for lifting sanctions against Cuba. 10 Couples Still Kissing FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (UPI) Ten couples remained today in a kissing marathon that began Satur-d a afternoon. Thirty couples have dropped out.

Among the 10 couples still kissing early today, eight persons said they planned to skip work, and five said they would cut school classes to stay in the contest. Steve Powell, 19, and Sue Calcathera, IS, both of Fort Lauderdale, who dropped out after 24 hours, said, "We still like each other, but we won't be doing much kissing for a while." Contestants were allowed a five-minute break each hour. Some dashed to restrooms and others ate hamburgers without onions, of course. Some of the contestants even managed to sleep while they smooched. One couple tied a belt around their heads to keep their lips together.

"I think they got four or five hours sleep each," Gary Granger, an official of the sponsoring radio station said. "All of them are lying down, some on the floor, some in sleeping bags. Occasionally, a couple gets bored and gets up and dances around for awhile. They have more energy than we expected," Granger said. One couple appeared to be old pros at the smooching sweepstakes.

They read books and drank milk shakes through straws held in the corners of their mouths while they kissed. The winning couple will get a free trip toToronto, to a concert featuring a musical group called "The Kiss." 21" Model 8251 169 95 53 tSSM CSffll KSSSi BESI ESSES Wim K3SM sar Mm I(TPfT3ySSI ltS2S, THE BIG DIFFERENCE IN FENCING IS IN KNOW-HOW AND VAUERY PH. 443-8743 FOR A FREE JOBSITE ESTIMATE ALEXANDRIA FENCE CO.

Dr. J. Allen Hhnek, chairman of the Department of Astronomy at Northwestern University in Evanston. 111., and former advisor to the Air Force on UFOs, was one of five scientists who examined the ball here over the weekend.

Newsmen also looked at it, shook it and heard a faint rattle. Terry Matthews, 21, of Jacksonville, who brought the ball here for inspection, claims it moved by itself and made strange noises after he found it near his home about a month ago. Since then, the eight-inch diameter object has provoked national speculation as to its origin Dr. Ilynek said: "As long as we've gone this far, I'd like to Making 'Dope' Fine Science WASHINGTON (AP) In a National Geographic article, Robert Laxall writes of longboard days in the Lost Sierra. A major ingredient of speed skiing was "dope," as ski wax was called.

One of the last of the long-board racers told Mr. Laxalt: "Making ski 'dope' was a fine science a hundred years ago in the Sierra. Those old-time ski riders had as many as 20 different secret recipes to match any kind of snow, and they would have shot anyone who tried to pirate them."
