i 5 i By AMBROSE B. DUDLEY HARRINGTON, R.I. Macdonald, an attractive 52-year-old real estate sales' a left her home last Thursday afternoon to drive seven miles into Providence to meet a man who had made arrangements over the last month to see unoccupied houses. She was found more than 30 hours later, strangled with one of her stockings, in the basement of a newly constructed house in Harrington. The death of Edna B.

Macdonald, the wife of a town councilman and mother of four, left police puzzled over the motive and shook many other women real estate agents in Rhode Island. Police theorize the man, who gave the name of "Peter Morgan" in telephone conversations with Mrs. Macdonald was a psychopath. She had not been sexually molested, authorities said. The co-owner of one real estate office in Harrington, Mrs.

John S. Hill, called for an agreement among realtors nationally that would guard against future assault on women real estate agents, but at the same time not offend men seeking a home for their families. Mrs. Hill, for whom the slain woman once worked, said the National Association of Real Estate Brokers could adopt a rule that real estate saleswomen either don't accompany a man alone house pairs. through an unoccupied or that they work in "It would have to be a rule," She said in an interview, "because a man would be embarrassed if you picked out a specific case and refused to show the houses." The Pawtucket Board of Realtors this week discussed problems raised by the slaying, but didn't make any recommendations.

"They felt that every woman broker works individually and will handle it her way, using her own judgment," said Mrs. Marie Raymond of Pawtucket, who has sold real estate for 26 years. Mrs. Hill said the three other saleswomen in her office felt in the future they should work in pairs when showing houses to a man without his wife or family. 'It always has been our policy not to show a single man an unoccupied 'house at night," she said.

"They might not be killed, but they could have an unfortunate experience." Although real estate saleswomen "are a little leary Mrs. Hill admitted, "it may fade away." A survey of women real estate agents in other parts of Rhode Island by members of The Associated Press, brought these comments about the siaying's effects on their work: "No, it will not stop me one minute," said a Westerly woman, who didn't want to be identified by name. "Things like this sort of pull you up by your bootstraps and cause you to be more cautious."

Problems in Large States Delay Social Security Plan By EDMOND LcBRETON WASHINGTON (AP) The problems of big states with large welfare programs are delaying congressional work on a massive Social Security-welfare neasure. Chairman Wilbur D. Mills, D- of the House Ways and Means Committee told newsmen various proposals to.

protect states against increases in welfare costs arc under discussion, but no decisions have been made. The committee, he said, still is awaiting full cost figures from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Nineteen states pay a higher welfare benefit scale than the $2,400 for a family of four contemplated in the incomplete bill. As welfare rolls increase, these states are in danger of having any savings provided by the bill wiped out. A few large states, such as New York and California, are especially vulnerable.

Proposals under consideration, Mills said, would Involve guarantees that such states would not have to contribute more state funds to maintain their programs than they are not expending, or at least that they would be guarded against unforeseen increases. He said he still hopes to have the bill ready for House action before the end of May. Mills said its provisions on welfare -and Medicaid would give substantial relief to states, but that the cities, with more immediate would not same extent. However, Mills said, development of a national health insurance system, scheduled for consideration this summer, should provide additional help. Meanwhile, Mills repeated his intention of opening hearings later this month on President Nixon's revenue sharing plan, which he opposes, and possible alternatives to it.
