Premier Robert Bourassa's liberals trailed with only 14 seats won and a lead in 13 other constituencies Three smaller parties shared 15 seats Levesque's Parti Quebecois, promising a referendum within three years on whether Quebec wQl remain within the Canadian union, scored heavily in the province's rural areas and mad? solid gains in traditional liberal territory in the more heavily populated areas Shortly before 8 pm CST, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation declared the Parti Quebecois the winner on the basis of returns showing the separatists leading in 66 consti-tuencies Only 56 seats were needed for a majority in the legislature, known as the National Assembly Constitutional lawyers said, however, Levesque would have a rocky road toward a separation even if Quebec voters should give his party a mandate for separation from Canada They said such a decision would need approval not only from the federal government but from Canada's nine other provinces and the British parlia-ment itself "The British North America Act (Canada's constitution) is an act of the British parliament and for a province to secede it would have to be passed by the British parliament,' said Montreal lawyer David Kirshenblatt He said the British parliament "will not act unless it has the agreement of the rest of the provinces and the Canadian federal government Levesque played down the separation issue during the 28-da-y campaign but observers said a win by the Parti Quebecois could materially affect the future of modern Canada The main race shaped up between the Liberals and the Parti Quebecois but pollsters predicted the recently rejuvenated Union Nationale Party led by Rodngue Biron a 42 year-ol- d indus tnahst, could end up holding the balance of power should a minority government emerge At dissolution Bourassa s Liberals held 97 seats in the UO-se- at asembh the Parti Quebecois 6 the Parti National Populaire 2, Union Nationale 1, Ralliement Creditiste 1 and Independent 1 There were 2 vacancies Carter outlines economic goals PLAINS, Ga (AP)-Presiden- t-elect Jimmy Carter said Monday that tax rebates and increased government spending may be needed to spur the nation's economy, and he discounted the likelihood of wage and price controls Carter said at a news conference that he believes unemployment can be reduced to4 to4 5 per cent in two to four years, which he said would be equivalent to 3 per cent of all adults overSoin the jobless ran Currently, unemployment is 7 9 per cent The president-ele- ct also repeated his belief that inflation can be held down by applying federal programs to areas of highest unemployment rather than through a uniform national program Carter said he cannot at this pouit be specific on details of his plans to decrease unemployment or the possi-bility that he night call for a general tax reduction or one-tim- e tax rebate But he said that his possibilities for increasing the money supply include "tax rebates and spending " Carter, at his second news conference since his election, announced he will fly to Washington next week to meet with Federal Reserve Chairman Arthur Burns and some of President Ford's cabinet members, possibly including Secretary of State Henry Kissinger Carter announced also that Jody Powell, his press secretary as governor of Georgia and during his presidential rerppn'gn, will be White House press secretary In a three-minu- te statement preceding the question-and-answ- er period Carter said his selection of cabinet members and other top government officials will be slow and deliberate and that he personally will interview top contenders for each choice He said those who are not selected for cabinet rank may well be in line for other top government positions inHnri.ng fimhasqarinrshipn nhroari "I have not made a decision up to this point on anv one of the appointments " And he warned against speculation, saying that he win remain tight mouthed and that "no one on my staff or in my family is authorized to speak forme " He noted that he plans to meet soon with leading members of Congress and business and labor leaders to discuss jobs and taxes among other subjects Federal Reserve Chairman Burns has said he does not intend to resign his key monetary post and Carter said he believes he will be able to work harmoniously with Bums But he alio said that he intends to seek a relaxed monetary policy He said he sees no Jicompatibility between goals of lowering unemploy ment and inflation while 'pursuing aggressively the promises I have made to the American people ' He mentioned most prominently welfare and tax reform and the insti tution of a comprehensive health care program for all Americans Formaaadmhtbtration Jody Powell wi !

"Yes, 1 sold some land to (James) Hofmann," commission chairman Lynn Drane said. "But I've sold land to others, too. This has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on my job as planning and zoning chairman And it's none of your business " Howard County records show that Drane sold 202 acres (80 8 hectares) of farmland to Hofmann March 23, 1967 But Hofmann's wife, Carol, pointed out that her husband no longer owns this land. He sold it for agricultural purposes, she said The planning and zoning commission did not exist when Drane sold the land to Hofmann. The commission was established m April 1971 and Drane was appointed to the commission May 1, 1972 On Sept 16, 1978, Drane made the motion to rezone 120 acres (48 hectares) of farmland in southeast Boone County that Hofmann wants to buy His motion came after a proposal by commission member Kay Roberts not to rezone the land died for lack of a second.
