i Minn Elected. By CLIFF LEE Staff Writer Whitehall. The other seat in the district was captured by the other incumbent Republican, Harold It. Soden of Lake Placid, whose vote count was almost twice that of either Quinn or Bascom. Bascom, who ran on the Republican-Conservative ticket, was a favorite in the northern portion of the 11-county district, but, was only able to capture Washington and Warren Counties by a decisive margin.

He either lost to Quinn or won by a narrow margin in the other northern counties. The deciding blow in the battle between Bascom and Quinn came in Schenectady County, Quinn's home county, where more than votes were cast in favor of Quinn and only 19,620 votes for Bascom. Soden, who ran on a combined Republican and Democratic ticket, also did well in Schenectady with more than 43,000 votes. Bascom and Soden had been picked to be the winners late Tuesday night when the voles in Washington and Warren Counties had been counted, but, when all of the districts had finally reported in Wednesday, unofficial figures showed Quinn with a 20.000 vote lead over Bascom. Bascom won big in Washington and Warren Counties with more than 19.0(H) votes compared to 12,000 votes for Quinn, but, met with defeat in Clinton, Montgomery.

Saratoga, Franklin, Fulton, St. Lawrence and Schenectady Counties He won by only about Hon votes in Essex and Hamilton Counties Bascom said Wednesday night that he thinks Quinn was a "beneficiary of Carey's coattails" and that Quinn being a resident of Schenectady County, the largest in the district, was a deciding factor in- the election. "All I have to say is that the people have spoken and I have no choice but to abide their decision." Bascom said. Tuesday's race for the two seats on the state Supreme Court in the Fourth Judicial District ended in a stunning upset with Jude William J. Quinn becoming the first Democrat Justice ever to be elected in the district.

The board voted unanimously to express its opinion that the establishment of a lighted municipal parking lot at the general area of the present A property would be. in keeping with the master plan for land use in the Central Business District. It was noted that the board's action served to approve the concept of the parking lot, and left the specifics to the Common Council, which would make final decisions. 3'he vote came after a closed-door presentation on the proposal by Councilman-at Large Albert Trudel, the principal backer of the purchase.

Trudel's request for a specific recommendation at a previous board meeting resulted in a tabling for additional information. The meeting marked both the first attendance of new member Mrs. Marjory Moeller and the first chance of the board to exercise its newly granted powers of prior consideration of zoning variance requests. The board recommended to the Zoning Board of Appeals that owners of property at 80 Prospect St. be allowed to convert the dwelling there from one-family to two-family use, based on existence of many Thunday, Nov.

In all cases, the final decision on granting variances will be made by the Zoning Board of Appeals, which will meet next Thursday. Urban planning consultant Fred Michaeli urged the board to proceed as soon as possible on establishing new land uses and a new zoning plan for Glens Falls. Nearly half the disposition parcels in the Neighborhood Development Program would be the objects of zoning conflicts, Michaeli claimed.

Some were not in need of immediate change. Michaeli said, but addea that two parcels next to the Broad Street fire station required action. Michaeli suggested that the parcels, at the corner of Broad Street and Hudson Avenue, be changed to Central Business (C2) land use to conform to adjoining zones. Such a change, Michaeli emphasized, was an interim measure pending the zoning update he requested earlier.

Palling Sentenced Schoharie County Chief Deputy Donald Dahms, who pleaded guilty Oct. 30 to one count of attempting to offer for filing a false instrument, drew a one-year probationary term Wednesday in Supreme Court for Warren County. Dahms, 40, was sentenced to the conditional discharge by Albany County Judge Arnold W. Proskin, assigned to preside at the special term of Supreme Court after the special prosecutor, Assistant Attorney General E.

Garrett Cleary, obtained a change of venue in the Appellate Division, Third Department. In imposing sentence, Proskin cited "many mitigating factors" and asserted that Dahms had been "an unwilling participant" in actions leading to the series of official misconduct charges lodged against him. The judge Indicated that Dahms apparently had cted under orders of his boss, John K.Goldswer, sheriff of Snhoharie County. Goldswer, meanwhile, was convicted earlier of 11 counts of official misconduct in a Warren County Supreme Court trial and has subsequently been engaged in an ongoing battle with Governor Wilson over Goldswer's right to maintain public A truce was struck this week when Goldswer announced he was suspending himself and would step aside altogether if motions to set aside his conviction or dismiss charges are unsuccessful Friday. Those motions are due Friday, the day Goldswer is scheduled for sentencing.

City Officials, Police Mum on Mulcahy Meeting BylRVDEAN City Editor Ned Pattison took the day off Wednesday. The day before he had been elected to Congress with a plurality of -some 10,000 votes so he spent most of Wednesday at his West Sand Lake home answering calls from well wishers, meeting with the press and "just mucking around, turning over my mulch pile." Ordinarily, Democrat Edward W. Pattison Jr. would have spent the day on the job in Troy as Rensselaer County treasurer, but there was no question that this would be a less than productive day at the office. Surrounded by members of his family, 42-year-old lawyer started off the day with a press conference where he talked about his plans as congressman-elect.

In a later conversation with The Post-Star, Pattison discussed his opponent, praising him, empathizing with him. Pattison said he had not talked with Republican Carleton J. King sine election results became known. "There wasn't an opportunity," he said, pointing to the hectic schedule that followed news of his victory. But of the 70-year-old King, a 14-year congressman, Pattison said: "He's a fellow politician as far as I'm concerned and I know the things he's gone through." Recalling Election Day four years ago when Pattison lost to King, the winner this time around said: "I've been both places.

When you lose, you get the hell out of. there as soon as you can; you try to be gracious. "When you win, all kinds of people arrive to congratulate you." King, continued Pattison, "served his city, county and election district for 40 years. He deserves respect." Pattison said while he disagreed with King's "mode of operation," he felt "he's not a crook or an evil man." As to his future plans, Pattison said he will maintain "modest accommodations'' in Washington and, therefore, has no plans to relocate his family. His attractive, blonde wife, Ellie, will not be going to Washington with Pattison.

He says he will attempt to disrupt his family life as little as possible. "I'll just be away a lot more, but I'll be home frequently." After learning of his victory Tuesday night, Pattison immediately went to the Hendrick Hudson Hotel in Troy to address supporters. Then began a hectic period of radio, newspaper and television interviews and a barrage of telephone calls. Among those who phoned Pattison was Rep. Philip Benton of California, chairman of the House's Democratic study group.

Wednesday afternoon Pattison reflected upon his victory and the campaign that led him to it. He repeated his pledge to create a network of community representatives who would serve on a volunteer basis. "These are not patronage jobs," he emphasized. Those interested will be required to fill out an application form and party affiliation will not play role in the selection. Pattison said he wants to put together a manual that will set forth the specific duties of the community representatives.

In addition to processing routine inquiries about delayed social security checks and veterans' benefits, the congressional volunteers also would serve as soundingboards for Pattison's consituents. They would not serve only as "an arm of the congressman," Pattison stressed. He explained, "I would want them to also be advocates of their people. I would want them to differ with me." Pattison repeated his frequently voiced promise to keep his constituents abreast of his planned votes and to maintain a working relationship with the news media as a channel to the people. "I think the media is there to be used.

That's good government and good politics and I've always thought those things are synonymous. I don't expect people to rely on the Congressional Quarterly to find out how I voted." He added, however, he will not be "spending a lot of time on releases saying that Congressman Pattison has announced that the Glens Falls Urban Renewal Agency has gotten a million-dollar grant. Those things you really don't have a lot to do with. "It amounts to saying, 'Hey, look what I did for But that's a lot of baloney."

Cronin and the Board of Public Safety to discuss the problem caused with members of.

Reports had circulated that Mayor Cronin and members of the Board of Public Safety had considered bringing the captain upon charges.

Mayor Cronin has denied this but little or no information has been made public on any of the incidents of the matter that reportedly has caused a serious morale problem inside the police department.

Both the public present and members of the board felt that present police protection is inadequate.

The allocation in the preliminary budget for 1975 would include $15,600 to cover any unforeseen attorney costs. 6 Homeowners in the section have noted a heavy increase in the use of the residential streets by people using the recreation site and fear that the heavy traffic will bring with it danger to children and vandalism.
