10 THE DAILY TIMES Md. m. Counties May Pay For Schools 'Boston Strangled Figure Injured In Delaware Crash Delaware line when he lost control of the car and rammed into a toll booth. A passenger, Paul Harding, 25, of Hull, was thrown through the car's windshield on impact and was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say Harding was an escapee from the Massachusetts Correctional Institution in Monroe, Mass, where he was serving a sentence for armed robbery.

A search of the car after the accident turned up nine guns, including shotguns, handguns and a derringer. Police also found bullet-proof vests; blasting caps; masks, and a walkietalkie system. However, police will not speculate on the destination of the men or why they were carrying the items. Wilson was tried along with Richard Devlin and Carmen Gagliardi in 1974 in connection with the stabbing death of DeSalvo inside the Walpole State Prison in Massachusetts in late 1973. The trial of the trio in Ded-ham, on charges of conspiring to murder DeSalvo ended in a hung jury.

Wilson and Devlin were tried again on the charges in 1975 after Gagliardi's death, but the case again ended with a hung jury. Police say Wilson will be charged with criminally negligent manslaughter in connection with Harding's death after he has recovered enough to be arraigned. WILMINGTON, Del. (AP)-A New York City man tried twice for killing the the self-proclaimed "Boston Strangler" is in serious condition at Delaware Division Hospital here after an auto accident that killed an escapee from a 'Massachusetts prison. Delaware State Police say heavy guard was placed at the hospital room of Robert Wilson, 36, after he was identified as one of the alleged killers of Albert DeSalvo, who claimed to be the Boston Strangler.

DeSalvo said he strangled 13 Boston area women in the early 1960s. According to police, Wilson was driving south on Interstate 95 at a high rate of speed Wednesday near the Maryland- continued from page one continued from page one Employment Rate Is Up SESSION 35,000 beavers" from cutting "eager ahead. 1 The day was not without commercial overtones, usually the case in any big event.

ANNAPOLIS (API A special state commission says a part of Maryland's billion-dollar school construction program-perhaps up to $142 million over five years-should be paid by the 24 subdivisions. The Governor's Commission to Study Revision of the School Construction Program is drafting a proposal to the General Assembly for Baltimore City and the 23 counties to re-assume some of the school construction costs. The state assumed the full costs of the program five years ago. Approval of the committees draft plan would mean the subdivisions would asssume about $142 million worth of construction costs over five years.

State Treasurer William James says the draft form of the proposal calls for the subdivisions to again take on architectural and engineering fees, non-movable equipment costs and related costs such as sewage treatment plants for schools. With school construction costs expected to be some $1.3 million during the next five years, a shift to the subdivisions of even ten per cent of the program may have a significant impact on local property taxes. Baltimore County Executive Theodore G. Venetoulis and Anne Arundel County Executive Robert A. Pascal, both commission members, agree their counties would need property tax in- creases if the plan is adopted.

"We're going to keep fighting it in this committee, and then we'll keep fighting it in the legislature," Venetoulis says. Youth Praised By Mayor in Proclamation "Let it be known that we have faith in the ability of today's youth as they assume responsible roles in the future of mankind." So said Mayor Elmer F.

The proclamation also was a slaute to Optimist International, which "for the past 20 or more years has developed and promoted a program entitled 'Youth Appreciation The mayor declared in his proclamation that "the vast majority of youth are concerned, knowledgeable and responsible citizens and the accomplishments and achievements of these young citizens deserve recognition and praise of their elders." average wage earners as one way of stimulating the economy if it does not pick up on its own by Jan.

20, when Carter will take the oath of office. He said any such tax cut would be designed to increase the purchasing power of the average American family and would be oriented toward lower-income workers. But the Democrat said he does not intend any interference with the workings of the Ford administration during its final days. In fact, Carter said after the news conference that he will spend less time in Washington than had been expected before the Jan. 20 inauguration.

Earlier, Carter had indicated he would spend several days a week in the capital in transitional offices. But Thursday, he said he would spend less time in Washington to avoid the suggestion that he is trying to interfere with or second guess the last Ford administration decisions. Carter said he would be represented in Washington by Mon-dale, who sat silently listening during the news conference in Plains.

The unemployment rate is one of the economic indicators President-elect Jimmy Carter is watching as he considers whether to propose a tax cut after taking office in January. He told a news conference Thursday night that a tax cut for average wage earners "could be a strong possibility if there is no change in the rate of growth of the economy and if economic indicators should show a negative aspect." The October jobless figure matched the unemployment rate in August and prompted the Labor Department to describe the labor market as essentially unchanged for the past three months. But because the labor force is constantly growing, the unemployment rate alone can mask the actual number of persons affected by the indicator.

The number of persons unemployed in October was 7.6 million, the most since 7.7 million were out of work in December. Employment, which has been growing even as the unemployment rate rose from 7.3 per cent to 7.9 per cent this summer, has now declined for two consecutive months to 87.8 million. And that's the smallest number of people at work since 87.7 million persons held jobs in May.

By DAVID BURTON Of The Times Staff PRINCESS ANNE During the official canvass of Tuesday's election results, held here Thursday by the Somerset County board of election supervisors, no major changes were found in the final outcome for the county, although a significant mistake was discovered. That mistake gave Gerald Ford an extra 100 votes, thereby narrowing the margin by which Jimmy Carter won in the county.

Carter lost five votes in the official tally. The final count including the 128 absentee ballots counted Thursday, gave Carter 3,463 to Ford's 3,254. The percentage worked out to a slimmer margin of victory for Carter in the county: 51.5 per cent for Carter to 48 5 per cent for Ford. The other races, including absentee ballots, in the senatorial race: Sarbanes, 2,950, for 49.9 per cent; Beall. 2,832, for 47.9 per cent; and Bradley, 135, for 2.2 per cent.

In the First District congressional race, it was: Bauman, 3,255, for 50.5 per cent and Dyson, 3,181, for 49.5 per cent. There were no significant changes on the way the county voted for the statewide constitutional amendments. The 100 vote mistake occurred in one of the Crisfield precincts. It was originally reported Gerald Ford received 37 votes, when actually his total was 137. The official canvass did not mean all the results were official.

Until members of the election board traveled to the warehouse in Crisfield to check the county's 38 voting machines. That was to be done today. Even after the machines are checked in Crisfield, the results will not be official until the board checks the two machines located permanently on Smith Island. That trip is planned for Monday, thus the election will not be official until then. Breaking down the county into geographic regions, and how they voted: The northern section went for Carter and Sarbanes by a fair margin while Dyson just edged out Bauman.

The central portion of the county went for Ford, Beall, and Dyson, all by very slim margins. The southern section went for Carter and Sarbanes by slim margins, and for Bauman by a considerable edge. The only write in votes in the county were on an absentee ballot and they were for Abraham Ribicoff for President and Adlai Stevenson for Vice President. 11 1 1 X-7.

Also passed was the amendment providing involvement by the state in repair work on rialroads, which will include rail lines in Wicomico County. That passed 6,803 to 2,642. Three of the four amend-mendments rejected by Wicomico County residents were those that dealt with the acquisition of land by other counties. They were Question 3.

dealing with Montgomery County; Question 19, dealing with Prince George's County, and Question 20, dealing with Anne Arundel County. The other amendment that was rejected by Wicomico Coun-tians was Question 5, which provided that all members of the General assembly, except officers of the Senate and the House of Delegates, should receive equal rates of compensation and pensions. The closest vote in Wicomico County was on question 20, which was defeated. The vote on Question 20 was 3,047 for and 3,054 against, or a difference of seven votes. By NEIL KJELDSEN Of The Times Staff There were no significant changes from Tuesday's unofficial election results following Thursday's official canvass of Wicomico County voters by the election board here.

The majority of voters in Wicomico County supported Gerald Ford for President; Rep. Paul Sarbanes for Senator; and Robert E. Bauman for Congress. The official canvass showed 20,150 out of 26.261 registered voters cast ballots, which set a record for Wicomico County of 77 per cent participation. The final tabulations in the major races were as follows President Ford Senate: Sarbanes Beal Bradley 543.

Congress: Bauman Dyson 8,703. In addition to the major races, the voters also supported all four judges running for office by 5,000 votes or more and approved 17 of the 21 constitutional amendments, including the four that would most closely affect this area. Question 6, which will eventually provide for another judge for the county, passed 7,743 to 1,547 against.
