WATCH FOR NORFIELD'S h JANUARY SHOE CLEARANCE SALE! BEGINNING FRIDAY, JANUARY 4 I Governor nounced that the innimhpnr. who had been "defeated" in the Nov. 6 election, would re main in office. Thus Gov. Dennis J. Roberts was sworn in to an unprecedent ed fourth-term as chief execu tive at 5:30 p.m. as the result of the state Supreme Court's in validation of absentee- ballots that had given Republican candi date Christopher Del Sesto a 427-vote maioritv. Rhode Island's highest court ruled that written votes cast by some absentee voters and shut- ins who were unable to go to the polls were invalid because they were postmarked before Nov. 6.

Roberts had enjoyed a 721 vote pluarlity until the absentee ballots were counted. Del Sesto said he would not challenge the court's ruling and his campaign manager called mm a good loser."
