Republican caretaker Sen. Daniel Evans jumped into an early lead yesterday in his Washington state battle with liberal Rep. Mike Lowry to finish the term of the late Henry Jackson. Democrats women's races in Kentucky and Mississippi
With less than 1 percent of the ballots counted from an apparent record off-year turnout, Evans had 3,101 votes, or 55 percent, compared to Lovry's 2,531 votes, or 45 percent, in a race where President Reagan's foreign policy was a key issue.
History was made in the off-year 1983 elections as Kentucky elected Democrat Martha Lane Collins as its first woman governor and Philadelphia voters elected 45-year-old W. Wilson Goode, the son of sharecroppers, as their first black mayor.
IN MISSISSIPPI, Democratic Attorney General Bill Alain was elected governor in a mudslinging race dominated by charges of homosexual activity.
Kathryn McDonald, wife of the Georgia congressman who was killed when the Soviets shot down a Korean passenger jet Sept. 1, lost her bid to fill her conservatist husband's House seat.
It was a good night for mayors, with incumbents Dianne Feinstein of San Francisco, Donald Schaefer of Baltimore, Kathy Whitmire of Houston, Richard Hatcher of Gary, Ind, and Pete Crivare of Des Moines winning re-election, but Mayor Maurice Perre of Miami was forced into a

“It’s hard to put your whole heart into something, when part of it is broken.” McDonald defends it.
Allain, Mississippi's Democratic attorney general, beat Republican Leon Bramlett after a campaign in which Allain was accused by the GOP candidate's backers of consorting with black homosexual prostitutes who dress as women. Allain, 55, denied the charges, saying "there's not one strain of truth in them." Bramlett disassociated himself from the allegations.
"I have often said a person's character is one thing and their reputation is what people think and perceive it to be." Allain said in a victory statement. "Tonight, I think the character and reputation of this state came together and people all over America will know it."

In the nation's capital, Democratic National Chairman Charles Manatt said the election "brought good news" for the party, particularly the governor, who said it would to our presidential and senatorial hopes in 1984.
"We welcome the breaking of the gender barrier in Kentucky," he said. "We are particularly pleased by Wilson Goode's solid showing in this season as our star among our Democrats' big city mavericks."
Former Kentucky Gov. A.B. "Happy" Chandler, who once was baseball commissioner,
saluted the selection of Collins.
"For the first time since 1792 (when the state was formed), we've seen fit to elect a woman governor. It's past due and she's going to do a good job." he said
Bunning conceded just before 8 p.m. CST,
declaring, "Four years from now we'll be back
In Washington, Evans entered the race as a heavy favorite, but Lowry narrowed the gap by hammering at Evans as an advocate of Reagan's policies in Lebanon and Grenada. Jackson died in 2015, but he remained on his term, and Evans was named by Gov. John Spellman to serve until the election.
Flynt hurls obscenities at court during libel appeal
WASHINGTON — In a session marked by an obscene outburst, the Supreme Court yesterday heard appeals of libel cases involving the girdle magazine Hustler and the weekly tabloid The National Enquirer.
A court-appointed lawyer represented Hustler publisher Larry Flynt told the justices that publishers should pay more than $500 sued for libel anywhere in the country.

assesses in the parties' training to allow him to argue his own case. The paraplegic publisher was hauled off by court police.
As it was, the court-appointed attorney, Stephen Shapleton, faced a barrage of hostile questioning to his arguments that Hustler could not be sued years later for a libel that took place in 1976.
Hustler was sued by Kathy Keeton, an executive of rival magazine Penthouse. She filed suit in suit in Hampshire seeking $80 million in damages and saying she was labeled by a May 1976 Hustler cartoon depicting her
common-law husband, Penthouse publisher Robert Guccione, as infecting her with venereal disease.
Shapiro argued Hustler could not be sued in the state merely because the state had refused to allow him.
AT THE CLOSE of the hour-long arguments in the case, Flynt shouted
"DON'T STATES HAVE an interest in protecting the name of individuals, even though she was unknown in New Yorkshire'" Justice Lewis Powell asked.
But Shapira said that, even though some 10,000 copies of Husler circulated in the state, the magazine could only be held by a printer in the state where Keeton resides.
When her case was ended in Ohio courts, her lawyer renewed the suit in New Hampshire because it allowed a court of time for such beld suits to be brought
Her lawyer, Norman Grutman of New York, argued that Flynt was a media mogul who wants to make money from his work not want to be sued in New Hampshire.
Chief Justice Warren Burger, alluding to Flynt sitting in the back of the courtroom, asked, "Are you distinguishing traveling across country to a trial from traveling to Washington for another purpose?"
Justice William Rehquist commented that a nationwide publisher will sue him.
FLYNT LIVES IN California and is confined to a wheelchair because of gunshot wounds suffered outside a warehouse during an obscene trial.

Senior citizens angry at Ma Bell for monthly rates
By United Press International
The senior citizens joined several Democratic lawmakers in calling for approval of legislation that they said would help hold local phone companies after American Telephone & Telegraph Co. its divisory in January.
The Federal Communications Commission has approved a $2 monthly access charge for residential customers and a $6 monthly fee for businesses. AT&T had planned a corresponding reduction in actual long-distance rates because the access charge would provide newly independent regional phone companies with funds that used to come from a share of long-distance revenue.
WASHINGTON — Representatives of senior citizen groups said yesterday that they were "mad as bell at Ma Bell" and that they wanted Congress to pass a bill suspending flat monthly charges for access to long distance telephone lines.
The Universal Telephone Service Preservation Act would suspend residential fees and allow businesses to be assessed only if they used more than one phone line. It would also tightly planned charges for long-distance calls, and would establish a limited lifetime phone service for the poor.
"MA BELL USED TO be our friend, and she's now against us," said Maggie Kuhn of the Gray Panthers.
The Senate is considering a similar but less comprehensive measure.
AT&T HAS MOUNTED a large ad and lobbying campaign against the bill, which they say will eventually be more costly to phone customers.
"Soaring telephone rates will force thousands of senior citizens to give up their telephones — their lifeline to the world." said William Hutton, executive director of the National Council of Senior Citizens.
Rep. Timothy Wirth, D-Cole, said the measure would help keep basic telephone service affordable and would ensure that everyone who used the phone system paid a fair share of the cost.
