PHILADELPHIA (AP)-A constitutional amendment pemitting Pennsylvania governors to serve two consecutive four-year terms appeared headed for defeat today on- the basis of nearly complete returns from Tuesday's off-year election. Another proposed to allow county treasurers to serve any number of consecutive terms also appeared defeated, but three other proposals were winning handily. Wilh 7,893 of 9,123 precincts vote on the governor question was 583,736 in favor and 626,230 against. The same number of precincts showed 526,601 in favor and 651,600 against on the treasurer proposal.

Gov. Lawrence, Democratic incumbent, would not have been affected by the amendment, which had the backing of both the Republican and stale Democratic organizations. It would apply only to future governors. Besides Pennsylvania, 14 other states forbid their governors to succeed themselves. County treasurers'were the only county officials prevented from succeeding themselves under the old law.

The vote on the other amendments, with 7,893 tabulated: Refunds: Yes No 354,668. Internal Affairs: Yes 860,592, No 320,109. Tax exemption: Yes No The refund amendment author-' izcs payment in cash instead of a credit allowance on overpaid taxes, licenses and other such fees charged by the state. The amendment also applies to payments made erroneously. The aim Is to help businesses making corporate tax payments.

The inauguration date for the secretary of internal affairs was fixed at the same time as mat of the governor and lieutenant third Tuesday in January. In another amendment, under the present constitution, no specific date is set and the secretaries have taken office on the first Tuesday of May. The tax exemption amendment allows the- legislature to exempt certain disabled veterans from property taxes. The change is aimed at aiding paraplegics, double or quadruple amputee victims, and the blind. The state veterans bureau is to determine eligibility.

Montgomery County turned ihcilst Ward, 1st District 197' 2051 tide aout 2:90 a.m. in favor O'Brien. Republican vi-ho polled William I. Waliter 233 votes, against for Robert S. Earner, his Demo- craiic ooonent on the ballot, and 12 for Robert Smart, a write-in candidate.

Boer, botii tickers, tax coUector, Kaecht, R. and Stanley Voters also decided five constitution questions. Three of the pro- Mttls appeared to have more than enough margin to become effective.

The other a to allow future governors to uccced thcmsdvei for one term -appeared headed for defeat. Those apparently approved would: Allow the state to refund overpayments of taxes, license fees or other revenue without special appropriation.
