Newspaper Montgomery, Alabama Thursday, November 4, 1982 25 Cents 1 fames Says Wallace's Election Not Mandate To End Proposals Gov. Fob James said today he feels the election of 'George Wallace to a fourth term was "in no way" a Tepudiation of James' efforts to cut the cost of government, according to the Associated Press. "I don't think Fob James was involved in the campaign," the governor said.

"If I had been, we'd have laid those issues down where all could see them." Wallace, during the campaign, defended the state pension system and the state's limited control over higher education spending plans two areas where James has tried without success to make dollar-saving changes. But James said today the election of Wallace was "absolutely not" a mandate to shelve those James proposals. "You never know what comes out of campaign rhetoric," said James. He said he never heard any candidate speak out against the elimination of "duplication and waste" or oppose the idea of making the cost of government "competitive" with the private sector. James said the election of Wallace over Republican challenger Emory Folmar shows again that the Alabama electorate is "very independent." And, he said, "I think that's healthy." 1 James said he expects to bring on board Wallace's finance director, executive secretary and legal counsel by Nov.

Federal court hearings are scheduled in the next few months on major, longstanding cases against the prison system and the mental health system. James wants the courts to give the state full control over those departments and rule that Alabama is no longer violating inmate or mental patient rights. In preparing for those cases, James said, "we will make no decision without the concurrence of the next governor." He said the federal court proceedings likely will be in January and Wallace will need to know "exactly where we stand" when he takes the reins of government. "We will start it," said James. "But we want to do it in conjunction with the Wallace administration because they are going to have to finish it." He said he anticipates "absolutely no conflict" between his own legal stand on prisons and mental health programs and the stand Wallace will want to take.

James has been court receiver for the two departments, while Wallace was often at angry odds with the federal courts. However, James is now proposing that the courts remove the departments from receivership. 700 Absentees In Bullock DockS Dtsoou Probe Of Vet 5F. "which is checking the county vote totals." "You know, the only thing we are trying to do is to ascertain that everything is correct," Camp said. Camp refused to concede the race to Dickinson Wednesday when vote totals from all but one of the district's 779 boxes showed the incumbent ahead by 1,968 votes.

The Associated Press reported Wednesday that Dickinson had 83,065 or 50.6 percent of the vote compared with Camp's 81,097 or 49.4 percent. Camp's campaign manager Terry Ellis, approached as he left the Montgomery County Courthouse, said uncounted votes were turning up across the district that could change the outcome of the race.

You know," Hardy added, "700 is 20 percent of the total ballots cast in Bullock County.

That is just an example of the kind of thing we are looking at. In the rest of the district, absentee ballots comprised less than 2 percent of the total votes." Public Service Commission President Camp, who appears to have lost a tough election battle for the U.S. House of Representatives, said early today he still is not ready to give up. In a telephone interview from his home, Camp said, "Nobody is trying to do anything to anyone. "Meeting at local courthouses with local folks to check addition is not trying to do anything." Camp aides could be found Wednesday scurrying around 2nd District courthouses where votes were being recounted.

Bill Dickinson, who appears by an unofficial vote count to have won election to a 10th term in Congress, has asked the U.S. Justice Department to look for "voting irregularities." "Congressman Dickinson is calling on the Justice Department to look at the election results in the 2nd Congressional District because of what appear to be voting irregularities," said Dickinson aide Bob Hardy. Hardy said an oral request was to have been made today, but he said he was "not in a position" to specify the irregularities.

U.S. Attorney John Bell was unavailable early today to discuss whether he had met with Dickinson forces about the allegations. Hardy said the Dickinson camp is skeptical about 700 absentee ballots that were cast in Bullock County. "We understand that Mr. (Billy Joe) Camp did very well with those Photo By Dave Rndley Mrs.

"Emory Folmar did subscribe to my servicebut at no time did Emory Folmar try to influence my polls in any way," he said.

He also said he has a substantial job ahead in establishing credibility in Alabama. Evans was among a crowd of about 500 Folmar supporters gathered Tuesday at the Montgomery mayor's election night headquarters. In his Oct. 22 prediction, the last before the Tuesday general election which resulted in a landslide win for George Wallace, Evans said Folmar was increasing his lead in the governor's race and predicted the Republican mayor would win the battle.

In that prediction, Evans said his polls showed Folmar ahead with 51.4 percent of the vote, followed by Wallace's 44.7 percent, percent were undecided.
