Casey and his wife Mary Name Insures Victory Casey Gets Big Win In Treasurer's Race Presidential Returns Listed State by State Carter to Treat States Fairly, Shapp Predicts By EDWARD JENSEN PotKiaiette Harrtsburo.

Correspondent HARRISBURG Gov. Shapp yesterday predicted Jimmy Carter will be "fair" to states outside of the South, especially to Pennsylvania, in distributing federal pork barrel appropriations for arsenals and flood control dams. Carter, according to Shapp, telephoned in the early morning hours to express his appreciation for Pennsylvania's 27 electoral votes and the governor interpreted that as a good omen. "He was very appreciative," Shapp told reporters. He (Carter) wants to sit down with me.

and talk over the future." Shapp said he is hopeful the President-elect will come to Saratoga Springs, N.Y., on Nov. 13 when the governors of the Northeastern states gather to plan ways of getting more federal funds. One of the less dramatic but significant gripes against President Ford and former President Nixon eas the allegation that the Republican administrations favored the so-called Sunbelt states in passing out federal funds and projects. "Carter," said Shapp, "is committed to improving the economy of the Northeast." In other aspects of an election postmortem, Shapp, like most Democrats, continued to attribute the victory of Rep. H.

John Heinz III of Pittsburgh, to money. Shapp, echoing Rep. William Green of Philadelphia, blamed the Democratic defeat in the U.S. Senate race solely on Heinz's expenditure of an estimated $2 million, about twice the Green expenditures. Shapp noted that Democrats increased their majority in the State House by four votes (to 118-to-85) and picked up an additional seat in the Senate, making the Democratic lead 31-to-19.

He said he viewed that as a defeat for GOP efforts to run on a platform alledging administration corruption. "The tactics of smear and innuendo," he said, "did not work." Asked if he plans to accept a federal appointment, Shapp said he plans to finish out the two years remaining in his term. Armed Forces' Recruiting Dips WASHINGTON (AP) The Defense Department failed to meet its recruiting goal in the July-September quarter, mainly because of difficulties in attracting high school graduates to volunteer for military service, a report released yesterday disclosed. The armed services signed up volunteers during that quarter, 96 per cent of the objective. Only the Air Force made its goal in the three-month period while the Army, Navy and Marine Corps fell short by 4 to 5 per cent.

"The recruiting shortfalls are due in part to the services' continued emphasis on recruiting high school diploma graduates," the Pentagon said. Some tome ago, military manpower officials decided they would rather take in fewer new personnel than accept young men and women below standard. Ore. Tax Defeats Will Halt Classes PORTLAND, Ore. (AP)-More than 9,000 Oregon students will be barred from classrooms by Dec.

1 because of tax levy defeats in Tuesday's election. Voters in the Eagle Point district near Medford, where schools have been closed since Oct. 15 because of a lack of funds, defeated a proposed $2.5 million operating levy. General election balloting also saw levies defeated in two other Oregon districts, La Grande and South Lane. School officials had said they would close schools about Dec.

1 if the levies were defeated. Levies were approved in North Bend, Coos Bay, Knox Butte, and Pine Eagle school districts. 6 Remain Free: After Conviction In Betting Ring Mon Valley gambling boss John Bazzano and five public officials convicted with him in a gambling-protection scheme remain unsentenced and at liberty on bail more than seven months after their trial. Bazzano was convicted by a jury in U.S. District Court on March 31 of con- ducting a multimillion-dollar numbers operation in the southeastern sector of Allegheny County.

Five men, including a former dis-' trict magistrate, the former mayor of' Clairton and a current police officer in Clairton, also were convicted as Bazza- no's paid protectors. A check of court records reveals, vs--. that Bazzano, former Clairton Matz; former magistrate Regis Ward; former constable Peter former Elizabeth police chief Raymond Poljak; and David Guffey, police chief-under Matz and now a patrolman in, Clairton, all have been free since they were indicted June 17, 1975, and con- By THOMAS M. HRITZ Post-Gazette Staff Writer Robert Emmett Casey, the 66-year-old Democratic recorder of deeds from Cambria County, won the state treasurer's race strictly on the strength of his last name. That's what many political analysts say and maybe they're right.

But consider this. Casey defeated state Rep. Patricia Crawford of Chester County 2,234,016 to 1,761,749 a margin of nearly a half million votes. It was larger than that of John Heinz of Pittsburgh who won a seat in the U.S. Senate after waging a dollar blitz that cost the family coffers more than $2.5 million.

And it was larger than Jimmy Carter's, who spent a few bucks himself to win Pennsylvania's 27 electoral votes. How much Casey spent to become state treasurer is not yet known. But in last spring's primary, he filed expenditures of $880 while confiding to reporters that he spent less than $500 but did By The Associated Press Here returns. are the latest presidential Pet.

Though he did serve for two terms as auditor general, Robert P. Casey's name didn't do him much good when he ran in two gubernatorial primaries. He lost both of them. The other Robert Casey is gone too. He is Robert J.

Casey's reply to the 53-year-old public relations man was simple enough. "I had the name first," he said. And now he also has it last. Regan said he paid $51 to Schwartz. Regan said he was admitted to a room by Woelfel and told to undress and shower in preparation.

Regan was assisted by three backup detectives in the raid. After the arrests were made, detectives said George Lee came into the parlor and asked, "Are you guys still harassing these parlors?" Lee is the owner of Studio One massage parlor, Downtown. The detectives said another massage parlor owner, Nick DeLucia, heard about the arrests and also stopped by to see what was happening. While checking the premises, detectives discovered that three of the rooms were installed with one-way viewing mirrors.

Detective Allegedly Propositioned 2 Charged in Prostitution At Downtown Rub Parlor Votes for President By State's Counties By CHARLES LYNCH PosHiaiette Staff Writer Two women were arrested and charged with prostitution yesterday following a raid by city vice squad detectives at a Downtown massage parlor equipped with peepholes. Scheduled for City Court hearings next Wednesday are Sally Schwartz, 36, of Shadewell Street, Brentwood, and Carol Woelfel, 22, of Sapphire Way, Bloomfield. The women were arrested in the Gemini Spa, 641 Liberty after an undercover detective allegedly was propositioned and paid $51. Before detective Tim Regan was permitted to enter the establishment he was asked to sign a printed card stating he knew he would not be getting a massage and that he was not a policeman. A city ordinance prohibits intersexual massage.

recent action in the case came more than two months ago when federal prosecutor James E. Roark to the new-trial motions. Sorg must impose sentences on the 'v' six before they can initiate expected appeals which, if unsuccessful, would mean an 18-month hiatus before they begin serving their sentences.
