Chairman Lee Iacocca failed to sway the United Auto Workers of Canada to back off on demands for higher pay. "We are, of course, available to resume negotiations at any time," Canadian UAW Director Robert White said. "'There i is no schedule for Unofficial Tally Gives Thompson Governor's Seat CHICAGO (UPI) Chicago's heavily Republican suburbs today gave GOP Gov. James Thompson victory in his cliffhanger race against Democrat Adlai Stevenson III, final but unofficial returns showed.

The returns put Thompson's margin at just 9,401 votes out of more than 3.6 million ballots. The results will not become official until Nov. 22 and the outcome could be challenged in a recount or taken to court. The ballots that put Thompson over the top for an unprecedented third term came from suburban Chicago area of Cook County, which is heavily Republican. "These numbers are preliminary and unofficial," Cook County Clerk Stanley Kusper said in announcing the final figures.

"It is the first time we have a ballpark number. It is always possible there was a keypunch error when you're punching 20 million figures." Final figures supplied by the News Election Service, which counted races nationwide in Tuesday's elections, put Thompson with 1,813,133 votes to Stevenson's 1,803,732. First reaction from the Stevenson camp indicated the results could be challenged in the official election canvass, to be certified by Nov. 22. Dave Gilbert, Thompson's press secretary, said it was the "most fantastic news we've received since Gilbert said the final figures released by Kusper and tabulated by NES "tracked almost to the vote" the unofficial count by the Thompson forces.

However, Gilbert declined to say if Thompson would claim victory at a news conference set for 2 p.m. EST. Stevenson campaign attorney John Schmidt said unofficial returns tabulated by the Stevenson camp showed the challenger with an "extremely slim majority." "We end up essentially where we thought we would end up, that is with an extremely slim majority," Schmidt said. before their 21st birthdays by the Youthful Offender Parole Board. The two male co-defendants in the case Bruce Young, 21, and Salvador Sanchez, 22 have filed motions in Yolo County Superior Court to have their trial moved out of the county in the belief that pretrial publicity has prejudiced their chance for a fair trial.

Shearer acknowleged during the sentencing hearing that the goal in cases involving juveniles is rehabilitation, but added that protection of society was a necessary "disciplinary response for this terrible Miss Eakle's attorney had argued that her family problems contributed to her criminal action and counseling would serve her needs better than incarceration. But the baby's father, Charles Huff, told the judge he wanted the maximum penalty levied for Miss Eakle's "appalling" action in holding his child out a van window during a police chase. Huff said his wife, Marcia, still has nightmares about the day. The kidnappers had demanded a $15,000 ransom for the baby, who was rescued unharmed after the highspeed pursuit on Interstate 5. Teen Ki Kidnapper Sentenced WOODLAND (UPI) A teenage girl who dangled a kidnapped Woodland baby from a speeding van last summer was sentenced Friday to serve as long as six years at the California Youth Authority.

Dana Eakle, 15, of Woodland, cried softly as Juvenile Court Referee Lewis Shearer passed judgment on her for her role in the day-long Aug. 9 abduction of 3-month-old Brandon Huff, the fourth generation scion of a prominent Woodland farming family. Another teenager, Sandra Baxter of Hayward, has already been sent to the CYA. Both girls may be released Workers resuming negotiations. There was no indication that Chrysler had changed its position one iota." The shutdown of Chrysler's Windsor facilities also will idle 6,000 Detroit foundry workers.

The Ajax plant supplies trim for all Chrysler vehicles manufactured North America, meaning a prolonged strike could affect all 43,000 active Chrysler employees in the United States. White said there is strong support among the rank and file for the strike and "we've gotten an enormous number of telegrams from the Cana- On Strike dian shop floors." He said the Canadian union had received telegrams from American autoworkers "urging us to stay the course." Iacocca, who personally inintervened in the talks Wednesday, failed to sway the United Auto Workers of Canada and avert the strike. In a letter to employees, Iacocca said, "We will take a strike if we must, even though we are aware it could put us out of business." No strike against Chrysler in recent years has lasted more than a few days. Canadian UAW director Robert White said Iacocca made no new wage offer during their hourlong meeting. Negotiators for both sides met Thursday for 30 minutes but talks broke off with no plans for resumption.

Ontario Labor Minister Russell Ramsay said Thursday the government was not considering back-towork legislation. But he left the door open for future action if the strike is a protracted one. Pope Asks For Ag Reform SEVILLE, Spain (UPI) Pope John Paul II celebrated mass before 500,000 people in the former Spanish Islamic capital of Seville today and urged the new Socialist leaders to reform agriculture to give farmers a better life. The pope made the call during a two-hour mass investing a 20th century Seville nun, Angela of the Cross, as a "blessed" of the Roman Catholic church -one step below sainthood. The beatification of Sister Angela, who founded an order that practices self-flagellation, marked only the second time in church history that a "blessed" has been proclaimed outside the Vatican.

Speaking from a soaring outdoor altar capped by a sol 1 silver centerpiece, John Paui said Spanish agriculture "continues to be the stepchild of economic development. "For this reason," he told the congregation in a field outside Seville, "the government must confront the urgent problems of the agricultural The pope, who frequently has spoken on the problems faced by workers, said the government should adjust "prices and costs to make the sector profitable, by providing subsidiary industries and promoting change in order to free the rural world from the anguished plague of John Paul made his call for agricultural reform in Seville because the surrounding Andalusia region suffers 20 percent unemployment in the decaying farm sector.

Cooper Enthusiast Plans To Continue PORTLAND, Ore. (UPI) A former FBI agent, fascinated by the 11-year-old legend of skyjacker D.B. Cooper, plans to search the Columbia River where he believes the still missing Cooper left some of his $200,000 ransom.

Sister Angela, who was beatified, was a nun who died in 1932 after founding the Sisters of the Cross order that to this day practices selfflagellation as a proof of faith. As part of the practice, nuns of the order wear heavy wool habits yearround, sleep on bare boards and sometime wear chains on their legs.

The first beatification outside the Vatican was carried out by the pope in the Philippines last year. The pope's visit to Spain's southern Andalusia region came on the sixth day of his tour of 10-day, 17-city tour of the nation that began Sunday. Andalusia, a province first colonized by the Phoenicians in the 3rd century B.C., came under Arab domination in the 8th century A.D. after first converting to Christianity under the Roman Empire. It was not until 1492 that Spain's King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella succeeded in expelling the last of the Arabs from Granada.

Energy Secretary Resigns Cabinet Post WASHINGTON (UPI) Energy Secretary James Edwards officially resigned his Cabinet post today and President Reagan appointed Interior Department official Donald Hodel to succed him. White House spokesman Larry Speakes said Edwards' letter of resignation, effective at 5 p.m. EST today, was accepted by Reagan "with deep regret." In another development, an administration official who asked not to be identified, said Harry Walters, an assistant Army secretary, would be named in a few days as head of the Veterans Administration. "You have met many challenges over the past 20 months and contributed a great deal of progress toward America's secure energy the president wrote Edwards. "You can look back upon your service with great pride in the Search found and decided some nine miles drag the river with to snag Cooper's anything else that parachute would it's 28 feet across and a canvas har- years to come." The White House said the nomination of Hodel, an under secretary of the Interior since 1981, would be submitted to the lame-duck session of Congress later this year.

Speakess said Reagan remains committed to his campaign promise to disband the Department of Energy. Hodel, of Lake Oswego, has served in several goverpment positions and as a private attorney. As a consultant, he worked with the National Electric Reliability Council and has been a delegate to the World Energy Conference. Walters would replace Robert Nimmo who resigned last month under pressure from veterans groups. Reagan selected Hodel as energy secretary despite opposition from environmental groups because of his strong advocacy of commercial nuclear power development.
