Gerald D. Klecz-ka was elected Tuesday to fill the unexpired term of the late U.S. Rep. Cement J. Zablocki, easily surviving the first round of a Republican assault on the customarily Democratic 4th Congressional District.

Kleczka outdistanced Republican Robert V. Nolan, 75,304 to 40,120, or 69 to 31 percent, but Nolan assured supporters he might be available in November when Kleczka presumably will be seeking re-election. Zablocki died Dec. 3 after ster Reagan's changes of carrying Wisconsin again. "I want to wish Gerry Klezcka well as our new congressman." Nolan told a post-election rally.

"We have had a chance to make a statement of principle to the people. I intend to make many more statements in the future." Kleczka, 40. whose name is pronounced kletch-kuh. has been a legislator since 1968. Since 1979.

he has been a chairman of the Legislature's budget-writing Joint Finance Committee, devel 33 years in Congress, having had to worry little about Republicans wasting their energies challenging him in his south-side political stronghold. But the district has been expanded gradually by reapportionment to include surburban Republican votes, and President Reagan came within one percent of carrying it in 1980. That inspired Republicans to give Nolan strong backing this year, and to suggest that another good showing by Nolan could bol oping a reputation of fiscal watchdog over bureaucratic spending. He told a victory rally that he wants to reduce federal spending, promote retaining programs for jobless persons, and fight against proliferation of nuclear weaponry. "W'e must put an end to this $200 billion deficit." he said.

"We cannot build our nuclear stockpile and rebuild our economy at the same time."

Diane Spencer, an asbestos specialist with the regional EPA office in Chicago, said Tuesday she had not yet seen the letter but said. "I'm sure we'll be testing in the Madison area." Thirteen schools in Wisconsin have been examined by the EPA, Ms. Spencer said, with schools in Racine. Kenosha and Beloit being cited for asbestos problems.

Beloit has come into compliance and the other cities have until April 15 to do so, she said. Schenk is only one of 13 school buildings listed by the Madison school district as containing some amounts of "friable" or easily crumbled asbestos. It is usually found in acoustical plastered ceilings in concentrations of 1 to 5 percent, the district said. Teachers at Van Hise Middle School here have complained about the 1980 testing at their school, which was done in the summer when no students were in the building to create vibrations and release asbestos fibers into the air. Frank Dropsho, the Madison district's building services director, could not be reached Tuesday for comment.

But he has said the 1980 Van Hise tests had showed no detectable unsafe levels of asbestos. In addition, Dropsho recently said he had heard concern from staff members at more than a dozen schools. But he added that asbestos testing and correction are very expensive procedures, especially when he is under the gun from the school board to hold down expenses. The National Education Association has estimated it would cost about $1.5 billion to clean up asbestos problems in 14,000 of the nation's 80,000 schools. Three million children, 650,000 school districts and countless educators are affected.

Congress was holding hearings Tuesday about a scheduled extension of asbestos regulations for the countrys schools. MADISON, Wis. (AP) Tests performed by the state last week revealed that two classrooms at the Schenk Middle School here have 20 to 30 times the normal background level of potentially deadly asbestos fibers. The Capital Times reported Tuesday. The Department of Industry, Labor and Human Relations' bureau of safety inspection discovered levels of .03 asbestos fibers per cubic centimeter in one room and .02 in another, the Madison newspaper said.

The normal background level and daily exposure is .001, although inspectors and health officials have said there is no generally accepted safety level for asbestos. The bureau's inspectors said Tuesday that the results were about the highest level found in tests of Wisconsin schools. Meanwhile, the Madison teacher's union has said the Madison school district has a desire to cover up, rather than correct, the problem which may be detrimental to the health" of Madison Teachers Inc. members and to students. The union has also sent a letter to the U.S.

(AP) For the second straight month, state motor fuel prices increased and diesel fuel prices decreased in March, the American Automobile Association said Tuesday.
