By The Associated Press Boat kills swimmer STRATTANVILLE A 19-year-old Clarion man died after apparently being struck by a boat while swimming at Piney Dam on the Clarion River Wednesday night.

Clarion County Coroner Rick Goble said yesterday that Willard Schreffler died of a fractured skull. Goble said that he was unsure who was operating the boat or whether any charges would be filed against the operator. Bill for infant addicts HARRISBURG Sen. James Greenwood, R-Bucks, proposed legislation yesterday aimed at protecting infants born with drug or alcohol addictions. He said the bill would provide human-service agencies with the authority to declare babies born with fetal alcohol syndrome or withdrawal symptoms victims of child abuse.

Hospitals, physicians and other health care personnel would be required to report cases of infant addiction to a child abuse hot line or to local children and youth service agencies. if ment continued to operate. Unintentially the governor's visit also demonstrated a reality of state government. It is that, despite elaborate planning and public relations work, some things just don't go right. Among the snags: Six Cabinet members bound for Erie Wednesday night found their flight from Harrisburg canceled and had to go to Detroit in order to get back to Pennsylvania.

They arrived shortly before midnight. Casey was met at one stop the dedication of a state Jobs Center by four state workers, quietly demonstrating against Casey administration personnel policies. The group protested a tentative contract with some state workers that cuts newcomers' pay to help more experienced workers. The president of the parent firm of the factory where Casey presented a check for a new state Industrial Resource Center is opposed to the program. James Currie president of EFCO parent firm of Erie Press Systems, said he found it ironic that his factory would be chosen as the setting for the $1.15 million check presentation to local business and academic leaders.

The program is aimed at helping small and medium-sized manufacturers apply advanced technology to their processes as Erie Press has done largely on its own. Currie said the program seems to be an example of "government trying to solve our problems for us" and of "solutions looking for problems." Still and all, the city of Erie appeared to receive the governor and his entourage with warmth, though not with great enthusiasm. By Harry Stoffer Post-Gazette Harrisburg Correspondent ERIE, Pa. Gov. Casey said his intention was to bring state government to the people of the state's third largest city.

What he did yesterday and not unexpectedly was to present a performance of state government, in which his role for most of the day was to dine with local officials, sign proclamations, hand out a mock check, make speeches filled with familiar phrases and administration slogans and to share the spotlight with Erie's 72-year-old but still irrepressible mayor, Louis Tullio. In more dramatic fashion, Casey fielded questions for nearly three hours last night in a first-ever "town meeting." About 350 attended the event at a downtown theater and more than 30 asked questions or at least made statements to the governor. But many questions came not from residents with no experience with state government but rather from representatives of organized groups that already lobby extensively for their causes. Casey said he wasn't bothered because advocates "speak for people advocates are a collective voice." The governor's supporting cast of 48 flown and driven from Harrisburg included a troupe of advance people, public relations employees, technicians and security staff, plus nearly all of Casey's Cabinet heads. Cabinet members played their part by touring local facilities and providing demonstrations of what their departments do.

Later they helped with the town meeting. All kept in touch with staffs in Harrisburg, where most of govern Charles Fry, whom Casey greeted while he waited in the unemployment line at the Jobs Center, looked glum but said, "I think he's doing a. good job. At least he's trying. It seems like he really cares." Earlier Rep.

Harry Bowser, R-Erie County, said he believes the capital-for-a-day program is a good one, but he hopes that it doesn't cost taxpayers too much. Casey press secretary Robert Grotevant estimated the cost at something more than $10,000. Bowser said he's also concerned that Casey's promises of state money "not all go to the mayor of the city of Erie because there's more to Erie County than the city." Tullio, who is expected to retire next year after 24 years as mayor, said he's counting on $5 million from the state for a museum at Niagara Place and a $3.8 million for a materials handling facility at the marine terminal. At the town meeting, no one raised the expected question about what Casey would do about polluted sand at Presque Isle beach, but many requested more funds or improved services for disabled people, special education students and retired fire fighters, among others. "If you heard the questions here tonight you have some sense of what we go through when we put a budget together," Casey responded at one point.

"There is a limit to state resources." Mary Karotka, injured on her job at a suburban Erie hospital in November 1985, told Casey that despite his claim of having overhauled the worker's compensation program, she faces a constant legal battle to keep her benefits.

Wilson Goode announced yesterday 625 specific layoffs in the city's work force, leading to a threat to close the Philadelphia Museum of Art and prompting Common Pleas Court to threaten suit. Goode said that 662 positions will be dropped from the city's work force by July 1, with 625 to come through layoffs and 37 projected from retirement, attrition and other voluntary means.

Robert Montgomery Scott, the president of the art museum, said the museum would close July 1 without a security force. A special representative from Ralph Lauren will be in attendance.

The couple had been living in Boise since mid-1986, Brock said. Yount, a model prisoner, escaped April 5, 1986, from an unsupervised farm detail outside Rockview state prison with Brodbeck driving the getaway car.

He had met Brodbeck when she came to the prison as a member of a religious organization and became her pen pal, Madden said. Yount faces a state charge of escape, and a federal charge of unlawful flight to avoid confinement. Brodbeck faces state charges of escape, criminal conspiracy for escape, hindering apprehension or prosecution and aiding in the consummation of a crime. She also faces a federal charge of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) -A national television program helped the FBI find a former DuBois high school teacher who escaped from prison two years ago while serving a life sentence for murdering a student.

Jon E. Yount, 50, and Diane Brod-beck, 45, a prison pen pal charged with helping his escape, were arrested Wednesday, said T.C. Brock, supervisory FBI agent for Idaho. He said yesterday the FBI received a tip May 19 that Yount and Brodbeck were living in Boise, a day after NBC aired an episode of "Unsolved Mysteries." Yount was convicted of the 1966 murder of Pamela Sue Rimer, 18, student in his advanced math class at Dubois Area High School. Yount and Brodbeck were being held in the Kootenai County Jail.

The FBI in Idaho received a tip that Yount and Brodbeck, a married mother of two from Wellsville, were living in Boise under aliases.
