Leaders say that the contributions are com ing in as well as can be expect ed. A spirited drive for post convention campaign expenses will get under way later. Many Issues Loom Second, the way pre-congress controversies have been going, it appears that there will be as many issues as candidates. And there are at least a dozen avowed or potential of the lat ter. Third, the Republicans, as In former quadrennial elections, are generally expected to send most of their money and cam paign orators into the big, pop ulous states of the east and mid dle west. That is where the all Important electoral votes are. Republicans also will be seek- POLICE IDENTIFY L VICTIM OF BRUTAL MURDER (continued itom page one) Burns' parents, Mr. and Mrs. William D.
