Voters'message is 'stop'
By the Associated Press
Americans made their wishes emphatically clear: Stop.
Stop busing children, stop crime, stop extending legal gambling. In 38 states, voters wrote their own laws Tuesday, deciding 200 constitutional amendments, referenda and initiatives. Here are their decisions on key issues:
BUSING: Massachusetts voters, unswained that Boston's federally ordered busing could not be altered by their vote, came down 3-to-1 for prohibiting assigning children to schools based on race.
In Washington state, 67 percent of the voters approved a proposal aimed at dismantling Seattle's busing program. The measure bans transfers to any but the nearest school. A court challenge is expected.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT: Californiaians approved a measure adding to the list of crimes punishable by death. Oregon voters, by a margin of 24o-1, approved a measure reinstating the death penalty for some crimes.
GAMBLING: Missourians endorsed a wording change to allow them to join in games like the Readers' Digest Sweepstakes, but Virginia voters rejected a proposal to legalize payoff games. In August, the state approved the first Atlantic City casino opened, refused to allow sports betting on jai
alai. Florida voters refused to legalize casino gambling in Miami Beach.
ABORATION: Oregonians rejected with 52 percent of the vote a measure to ban using state money to finance abortions for women on abortion prescriptions.
DRINKING AGE: Voters raised the minimum legal age for drinking to 21 in Michigan and 19 in Montana.
GAY RIGHTS: A Dade County, Fla., gay rights ordinance like the one repealed a year ago was rejected. But California voters refused to require that teachers who commit or advocate hate crimes must be fired. An effort failed to repeal a local Seattle law against gay rights.
NUCLEAR POWER: Montana voters gave a wide margin of approval to a measure imposing strict restrictions on construction of nuclear power plants. Opponents said its passage amounted to a ban on nuclear plants.
REAL RIGHTS AMENDMENTS: Floridians resoundingly rejected a state equal rights amendment. In Nevada, where voters were polled to advise the state legislature on ratification, they advised against Maribor County, S.C., referendum, voters
RIGHT-TO-WORK: Missourians defeated a controversial right-to-work measure that would have outlawed contracts requiring employees to join a union. Fifty-six percent of the Michigan voters approved a plan allowing state troops to bargain collectively.
GOP scores national, state gains
Bv the Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - In midterm elections with a conservative flavor, Republicans have enlarged their minorities in the Senate by three seats and in the House by a dozen, while scoring statehouse gains that will be an asset in 1980 and in other election years.
Texas tipped its way yesterday with the election of William P. Clements as the state's second Republican governor. Clementes, an oilman and former deputy secretary of defense, won after a long, close count over Democratic Attorney General John Hill.
Clements' victory gave Republicans a net gain of six governers in the Tuesday balloting.

Alf Landon proud of daughter
TOPEKA (AP) - It has been 42 years since Alf M. Landon was so personally involved in an election campaign, and he held a rally in New York, just very, very satisfying to her and to me.
Landon, who was 91 in September and still ride horses back, discussed Tuesday's U.S. Senate election victory of his daughter, Nancy Klander Kasbaum.
COMPLETE, UNOFFICIAL returns showed her defeating former Kansas Congressman Bill Roy by about 85,000 votes, 400,370 to 317,000. She beat Roy in 2016 and was elected in other races, Republican Gov. Robert F. Bennett went down to a stunning defeat at the hands of 38-year-old John Carlin, Democratic speaker of the Kansas House. However, Republicans everything else did well. Democratic State Treasurer Joan Finner.
The GOP wrested one U.S. House seat to the Democrats, won Jefferson, 27, from the Democrat, and lost a seasoned naval officer, beat incumbent Rep. Martha Keys in the 2nd district of northeast Kansas by 65 points.
REPUBLICAN BOB Whittaker, 39-year-
old Augusta optometrist, retained the 5th District seat in southeast Kansas.
And Republican Keith Sebelius in the 1st District had no opposition for reelection.

Bennett, 51-year-old former state Senate president, told a Topoca news conference he attributed his defeat entirely to a late-season attack. The Kansas Corporation Commission, whose three members were appointed by Bennett, was somehow responsible for soaring costs.
KANSANS ALSO approve referenda in 15 counties which will permit the selling of alcoholic beverages in restaurants—if they are not legally constituted by the state Supreme Court.
"But for the utility issue, we would have won," Bennett declared. He said the GOP
