"It becomes increasingly difficult for irregularities caused by a miscalculation of votes to have an impact when the plurality is Spargo said.

State GOP Chairman Richard Rosenbaum, who originally called for the impounding, said a recount well be an exercise in because Ford had already conceded defeat. If a recount had gone in favor, New 41 electoral votes would have tipped the election to the President. Rosenbaum asked for the impounding order late Tuesday night, when the Ford- Carter race was still too close to call. A couple of hours later Spargo went to home near Albany to get the order signed.

The state Democratic Committee immediately ordered its 62 county chairmen to monitor the impounding and subsequent recount.

At a Sept. 20 hearing, Hinchey and the Irate Consumers of Ulster County laid out proposed schedules that would provide immediate extensions in non-toll service to some areas and would give the entire county non-toll service by 1980.

"What we expect immediately is relief in places like Shandaken, where people in the village of Pine Hill call people in the hamlet of Phoenicia only a few miles away without being charged a Hinchey said. He also felt the telephone company could provide non-toll service between Woodstock and Saugerties right now without further study. The company denied it already has data accurate and detailed enough to make any immediate non-toll service extensions. would be a highly imprudent expenditure of company funds and other resources to conduct particular and detailed cost studies of any kind where the parameters of such studies have not been established and where there is no certainty that the information would ever be needed or useful for any purpose," the seven page letter said.

Sills termed the budget "respectable and he thanked the department heads in the town for making the effort to keep costs at a minimum.

The supervisor also had praise for town budget officer Larry Decker, who worked free of charge in preparing the budget. Sills credited much of the large decrease to financial acumen.

WASHINGTON (UPI) Thirty-two Kepone poisoning victims are being tested to see if lowering their bodies' cholesterol levels can clean the poison from their systems, researchers said today. The patients were exposed to large quantities of Kepone for four weeks to a year while working at the now closed Hopewell, plant that produced the pesticide.

All showed such common symptoms of Kepone poisoning as tremors, mild liver problems and decreased sperm production. Most are being treated as outpatients. Announcement of the clinical study by the Medical College of Virginia was presented to a meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases in Chicago by Dr. Philip S. Guzelian, a liver specialist at the college.

It also was disclosed by the National Institutes of Health, Snow Sweeps Midlands By UPI Snow swept across the Great Lakes region early today and light snows dusted portions of the upper Mississippi Valley and the Northern Appalachians. Five inches of snow hit South Bend, three inches of it covering the ground after the rest melted. Travelers advisories were posted for northwest Indiana and Michigan, where up to three additional inches of snow was forecast. Light snow dusted wide areas of the northern Mississippi Valley and the upper Appalachian Mountains. Light rain dampened much of the Northeast.

The four-month study, scheduled to end in January, will try to determine if the cholesterol lowering drug cholestyramine can help eliminate Kepone from the body, NIH said. It follows a preliminary study at the Richmond school involving seven patients who were given cholestyramine for one week and produced almost seven times more fecal elimination of Kepone as compared to patients not given the drug. Doctors had feared Kepone poisoning was irreversible and potentially cancerous, NIH said. Laboratory studies have shown the pesticide can cause liver cancer in rats.

The expanded clinical study will try to find how cholestyramine helped the seven patients or whether measurement flaws made it appear the pesticide was being eliminated, since none of the seven showed any improvement in their symptoms while taking the drug. During the clinical trial, 16 patients receive cholestyramine while the other 16 receive a placebo.
