House candidates await absentee vote count
WASHINGTON — Several congressional races were still undecided yesterday, awaiting challenges and counting of absentee ballots, but the final results will not be enough to alter the strong hold Democrats have on the House.
An unofficial United Press International count showed Republicans' picking up 13 seats in the house, for a total of 180 seats, nowhere near the top positions. And even enough to claim an ideological swing with conservative Democrats.
Democrats had 253 seats. Two races had not been called, and two others were teetering back and forth. Republicans could pick up a seat or two if the close races fall their way, but that may not be known for weeks.

until the votes were certified in two weeks. Even then, a recount could be ordered.
In Idaho, Republican Rep. George Hansen, an apparent loser by about 60 votes, said he was studying possible polling irregularities that prompted the demoted his loss to Democrat Richard Stallard. A recount was likely.
"I believe I will be declared (the winner) but that is more of a hope or a presumption than a fact," said McCloskey, who is completing his first term.
Rep Frank McCloskey D-Ind, another apparent loss by -73 votes to state representative Richard McIntyre — was refusing to concede
There were 30,000 outstanding ballots, 15 percent of the total, in that race, but DoGiura was winning by about 6,000 votes.
In New York, absentee ballots will be the deciding factor in the race between Republican Joseph DiGuardi, who claimed victory, and Democrat Oren Teicher in the contest for the House seat of retiring Democratic Rep Richard Ottinger.
Democrat Frances Farley and Republican David Monson, fighting over the Utah seat formerly held by Republican Rep. Dan Marriott, also were told their race hinged on the count of absentee ballots, scheduled for Tuesday.
Monson led by 143 votes over Farley. But Salt Lake County Clerk Dixon Hindley said that about 1,500 ballots had not yet been counted
Westmoreland's estimates upheld by former CIA official
By United Press International
NEW YORK — A former CIA official yesterday sharply contradicted a CBS documentary by testifying that Gen William Westmoreland's Vietnam War command always kept the intelligence agency
fully up to date on enemy troop strength.
George Carver, a CIA special assistant for Vietnamese affairs from 1966 to 1973, also testified that Sam Adams, a CIA analyst and consultant hired by CBS for the controversial documentary, was a maverick who sometimes went off
"half cocked" and "was not tempered with good judgment."
Westmoreland is suing CBS for $120 million, saying the 1962 documentary "The Uncounted Enemy. A Vietnam Deception distorted the facts when it said the general led to President Johnson about the number of enemy troops.
CIA estimates of 500,000 enemy troops amassed on the eve of the 1968 Tet offensive were the basis for the documentary's troop strength contender. The CIA testimony would contradict army figures of 280,000 enemy troops
Yesterday's testimony, however, was just the opposite.
