HANNON was elected Chicago's new superintendent of schools Wednesday by a 7-to-4 vote of the Board of Education at a suspense-filled meeting culminating in an unprecedented public ballot involving two candidates. Hannon, 42, assistant superintendent for facilities planning, was selected over Manford Byrd 47, deputy school superintendent, but failed to receive a vote from any of the board's three black members.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, head of Operation PUSH, who had appealed to board members to select Byrd or else postpone a vote, told supporters immediately after the meeting that a strategy session will be held Saturday to plan demonstrations this fall to protest Hannon's selection. IN A BRIEF statement after the election, Hannon, perhaps In anticipation of a stormy path ahead, said that the superintendent "must place himself in the thick of the battle and care passionately about every child." Then in an off-the-cuff comment, Hannon told reporters: "You get into my guts and I'll get Into your head because we're going to be together for four years." Hannon was voted a four-year contract at a salary to be negotiated later. His term officially begins Sept. 14, the day after the expiration of the contract of Ja mes F.

But Walker's actions nevertheless reduced expected revenue by $47.2 million, and Byrd and his staff were forced to pare the budget by this amount to $1,127 billion. Despite the reduction, the proposed budget set another record, exceeding the current year's budget of $1,114 billion by $13 million. Byrd explained that increases of $78 million were needed just to keep pace with last year's school programs. SCHOOL OFFICIALS made 18 money-saving cuts from the original version of the tentative budget in several ways. They reduced the number of teaching positions by: Increasing average class size "by two students, which will eliminate 1,042 teaching posts.

Davis is a very reluctant new member of America's scurviest club, and he is trying to avoid paying his dues. It's a very persistent club, however. Delinquent members have been traced as far away as Japan and Great Britain. They are nearly always found, whatever the odds, and on the average within 154 days. THE CLUB is the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives List of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the dues, in Davis' case, could run upwards of 20 years if he is convicted of' murder, armed robbery, and atrocious assault.

Chances are that Davis, the latest to be added to the list, feels the same about it as did "Slippery Ed" more than a decade ago. "It was in Chicago, at the Greyhound bus station, where I first found out I was on the Most Wanted list and I like to died," recalls Ed Edwards, or "Slippery Ed," as he came to be known during his year on the list in the early 1960s. "I WAS waiting for the bus to Norfolk, and I went to the newsstand, and there was my picture in True Detective magazine, wanted for double murder. "Everybody around me was suddenly a policeman. It was the first and only time in my life I found myself looking over my shoulder.

I was so frightened, I went to the men's room and stood there for 45 minutes until it was time for my bus." A reformed career criminal, Edwards' sudden fear at finding himself on the list probably is a typical reaction. In the 25 years the FBI has maintained the list, some 331 men and women on the lam have flinched at finding themselves instant nationwide celebrities, the criminal creme de la creme. IT WAS on March 14, 1950, that the FBI's late boss, J. Edgar Hoover, joined with the old International News Service' in what was to be a onetime-only stunt. The plan was to publicize on' the INS wire the names and aliases, pictures and fingerprints, detailed descriptions and habits of 10 of the most elusive federal fugitives, sought for 10 of the most vicious crimes.

But only four days after INS began sending out the villainous cameos, one per day, a sharp-eyed reader of the St. Paul Dispatch recognized one of the fugitives, William Nesbit, wanted for un- Continued on page 4, col. 1 Weather CHICAGO AND VICINITY: Thursday: Partly sunny; chance of showers and thunderstorms; high in the lower or middle 80s; northwesterly winds 8 to IS miles an hour.

Story on page 5. iV -s: fA A A Academic year, salaries trimmed 1, Wj By Casey Banas Education Editor A PROPOSED Board of Education budget was unveiled Wednesday that slashes 2,436 jobs including 1,780 teaching positions cuts principals' salaries by 20 per cent, and chops three days off the school year. Some teachers reporting for work when the school year begins Sept.

Byrd said the cuts resulted from the "severe impact" of Gov. Walker reducing the size of state aid increases and vetoing a bill that would have permitted the school system to collect revenue on the basis of previous assessed valuation figures in effect before the new, lower tax multiplier was instituted.

Georgi Beregovoi, head of the Soviet cosmonaut Star City training cen-' ter near Moscow, indicated such a tour was in the works when he was asked what Soyuz cosmonauts Alexei Leonov and Valery Kubasov would do for the next few days. The official news agency Tass said Beregovoi replied that the cosmonauts will go home, but added: "THEY WILL hardly have time for resting.

Many countries have already sent in invitations for the Soviet crew. Together with their American colleagues, they will evidently make.
