HAROLD Washington won just enough backing from white and Hispanic voters Tuesday to turn back Republican Bernard Epton and become the first black mayor of Chicago. The 60-year-old Democratic congressman built his historic victory on a massive snow of support by black voters and a narrow slice of the white electorate, primarily from the liberal lakefront wards. Washington claimed victory at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday in an address to a tumultuous crowd of 15,000 supporters at Donnelley Hall near Mc-Cormick Place. They cheered wildly for several minutes and chanted, "Harold, Harold!" as the mayor-elect moved to the podium, his arms raised in victory.

"Today Chicago has seen the bright day break for this city and perhaps for the entire country," he declared, vowing the most open and representative government the city has known. "OUT OF THE crucible of this city's most trying election blacks, white, Hispanics, Jews, gentiles, Protestants and Catholics of all stripes nave joined hands to form a new Democratic coalition. "I want to reach out my hand in friendship and fellowship to every living soul in this city." But Epton, who mounted the stiffest challenge a Republican has waged for the mayor's office here in half a century, stopped just short of conceding, telling thousands of cheering supporters at the Palmer House that he still believed victory was possible. BEFORE LEAVING the hotel for his Gold Coast home, however, Epton told one television reporter that he was "not overly optimistic" because the outstanding precincts were, from, mostly black areas. "I wish him well I wish Harold luck," said a subdued Epton, with a trace of the bitterness that characterized the campaign.

"He certainly will need all the good luck he can get." The Washington victory was built on an unprecedented showing in the black areas of the South and West Sides, where he rolled up better than 99 percent of the vote in some wards. Epton's strategists reportedly were withholding a concession as they studied the possibility of a recount challenge and the impact it would have on an already racially polarized city. "It is virtually impossible to get all the votes, or 99.5 percent of the votes, in a ward," said one of the several Democratic committeemen who quietly backed Epton. "There had to have been fraud." WITH 99 PERCENT of the vote counted by the Chicago Board, of Election Commissioners, Washington held a lead over Epton. Washington had 656,727 votes, or 51.40 percent, to Epton 617,159 votes, or 48.30 percent.

Ed Warren, the Socialist Workers' Party candidate, had 3,725 votes. Cook County Democratic Chairman Edward R.

In addition to Marcin, the aldermanic losers were Aldermen William Barnett 2d, Robert Shaw 9th, Eloise Barden 16th, William Carothers 28th, Ivan Rittenberg 40th and Richard Clewis 45th. All were considered Democratic machine aldermen. IN ADDITION, other candidates supported by the regular Democratic organization suffered defeats in a crush of voting that reflected the groundswell of black voters supporting Washington. For instance, Mattie Coleman, who was supported by the legendary Democratic warhorse, Edward Quigley, the city sewers commissioner, went down to defeat.

A toast to the hated hangover Reagan sends Congress plan for better 'hot line' drinking years. Twenty-three percent, he said, indicated they never had a hangover since they began drinking.

"WHILE WE WOULD expect to find less incidence of hangovers among those classified as light to moderate drinkers, it was surprising to find such a high percentage of the heavy drinkers and those who had been classified as alcoholics did not have them," Smith said. He said the study included 1.041 adults in Erie and Niagara Counties of New York, and 43 people admitted to the inpatient Alcoholism Service at the Erie County Medical Center. Participants were asked about their consumption of liquor, wine and beer, how often they drank and the amount they drank and about the frequency of hangovers during the last year and the symptoms, including headache, hands shaking, nausea, nervousness, hot and cold flashes and vomiting. Smith said researchers found that heavier drinkers were more likely to report hands shaking and nervousness along with headache. "WHILE WE ARE NOT saying that all heavy drinkers who fail to have hangovers will become alcoholics, our findings do suggest that those who do not have hangovers may be more at a risk for developing patterns later which are associated with problem drinking," Smith said.

All the unpleasantness associated with hangovers, he said, may actually play a role in preventing alcohol consumption from getting out of hand on future occasions. BUFFALO UPI Difficult to believe as it may be for anyone who has ever experienced one, those monumental hangovers the day after overimbibing may be just the thing a person needs. Researchers at the State University Colleges at Buffalo have completed a study that indicates people who experience a hangover after drinking may actually be better off than those who are not taken ill. Dr. Cedric Smith, a professor of pharmacology and therapeutics, said the study shows people who don't heve hangovers after heavy drinking appear more likely to become problem drinkers than those who do.

Smith said about half of those categorized as heavy drinkers or recovering alcoholics reported they did not have hangovers in their recent By Storer Rowley Chicago Tribune WASHINGTON The Reagan administration on Tuesday sent Congress "confidence-building" proposals to lessen the chance of accidental nuclear war. The proposals include upgrading the "hot line" with Moscow and creating an international team of crisis consultants to combat nuclear terrorism. Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, announcing the measures at a Pentagon press conference, said he presented them to Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin last week for study by Kremlin officials. Weinberger raised the possibility of U.S. and Soviet personnel working together with other nations as part of a multinational consulting team, or even "security forces," to try to "defuse" any crisis involving a third nation or terrorist group threatening nuclear destruction.

Other measures would bring more high-technology equipment to the 20-year-old hot line, open a direct modern communications link between the Pentagon and the Soviet military and improve computer data-transfer equipment connecting Soviet and U.S. Embassies in Washington and in Moscow. PRESIDENT REAGAN Issued a statement at the White House saying Secretary Caspar Weinberger the measures would complement similar arms control proposals made to the Soviets at nuclear weapons Continued on page 2, col. 1.
