Just before the 1058 Presi dential election, the leading issue, In the opinion of the editors and Congressmen, was "E I a c n h o w e r'a age and health." But the President had announced his Intention of running for another term then, something that Is not a factor this year." Before the Congressional elections of 1058, the editors thought "cost of living" was the most Important Issue and Congressmen cited "federal spending and taxing."

Guidebook Lists Major Buildings New York -(UPD- A construc tion company here commem orating the 106th anniversary of Its founding has Issued a 44-page, four-color brochure which Is literally a guidebook to many of the Eastern Sea board's notable buildings and institutions. The brochure lists more than two dozen of the many buildings constructed by Ver-mllya-Brown Co., including me federal Reserve Bank of New York, the National Gal lery of Art in Washington, n.C, the New York Telephone Co. headquarters, and the new Hospital for Special Surgery here. It points out little-known facts about many of the struc tures. For example, it reports, the telephone building is not able construction-wise for the fact that 22 caissons sunk to bedrock form a continuous cofferdam around the site and provide space for basements below street level.

PENNEY'S . , STREET FLOOR Johnson May Be Key Man in Fulfilling Washington - (CQ) - The key man In fulfilling those bold pledges In the 1000 Democratic platform could well be none other than the Senator from Texas, Lyndon B. Johnson, Winning the South'a 146 electoral votes In November wua reason enough for Presi dential Nominee John F. Ken nedy to pick the Senate Ma jority Lcuder to be his run ning mule. But the choice of Johnson bore as well on a longer-range challenge: how lo enlist the support of con servative Democrats In Con gress in redeeming the lavish promises of a liberal platform. Many of these pledges are carbon copies of proposals pushed by Sen. Kennedy and other Republicans. Barring a landslide of 1036 proportions, Kennedy, If elected, Is going to need the support of con servatives on a number of key Issues. Fits Like a Glove That ia where Johnson could fit like a glove. An organizational genius free of fixed ideas, he is admirably qualified to persuade his ad miring Southern colleagues. Whether he would do so may be open to question, given his disputes with Senate liberals over legislative strategy. But there is nothing in the record to suggest that Johnson, as Vice President, would not give vigorous and effective support to the requests of a Democratic President. Platform Problems Assuming that those re quests parallel the 1060 plat form pledges, here are the po tential trouble-makers, judged by recent experience: Foreign Aid - A promise "to assure continuity in our aid programs for periods of at least five years" is the off spring of a plan, urged by Sen. J. W. Fulbright (D-Ark.) in 1959, to authorize the De velopment Loan Fund to bor row $1 billion annually from the Treasury for five years. Opposed by the President, who wanted no more than $700 million for one year, the plan was rejected by the Sen ate by a vote of 42-48 (D 35-24; R 7-24). Among the 24 Demo crats voting against the pro posals were 17 Southerners. Military Reorganization - pant of every one of its 200 beds has a view of the East river. 2 1 0 styles to choose from! Many.

STREET FLOOR Demos' Pledges The statement that the armed forces "should be organized more nearly on the basis of function" goes to the heart of a bitter lntcrsorvlcc struggle, and could murk the beginning of another major drive for New Theory Found For Iron Rusting Pittsburgh (Science Serv ice) - A new basic explana tion for the rusting of iron, one of the most destructive and wasteful chemical reac tions known, has been found by scientists at Westinghousc Research Laboratories here.' Iron corrosion is believed to waste up to $7 billion an nually In the U.S. alone, Eighty million dollars alone are spent by automobile own ers replacing mufflers each year. The new theory suggests that hydrogen ions are the culprit. The hydrogen ions come from water vapor, which must be present if iron rusts very much at room tempera ture. The tiny hydrogen par ticles are thought to pene trate the iron and enlarge the sites at which oxygen normal ly combines with the metal. Previous explanation for iron corrosion was that it is an electrochemical reaction, somewhat like that occurring in an ordinary battery. The new theory suggests that something more fundamental takes place in the iron, al though an electrochemical re action may also be present. Till-Tapper Draws Two-Year Sentence Corvallis -40PD- Gillis High, 34, who dropped $680 and fled when he attempted to tap a till at Philomath, was sen tenced Tuesday to two years in the Oregon prison. Circuit Judge Fred Mc Hcnry meted the sentence after High admitted his guilt. He and another man, both from Sacramento, Calif., had plucked the money from the till at the Philomath Hard ware and Grocery when a clerk spotted them. The clerk shouted and High dropped the money as he ran out of the store. Wo's Washable Fabric in AA-B. Children's Summer NOW Boys! Girls! Leather Sandals!

Yet In 1958, whon Congress passed a watered down version of President El senhower's modest reorgani zation proposals, House Demo crats voted overwhelmingly to reject toughening amend ments demanded by the Presi dent. The vote was 192-211 (D 20-196; R 172-15). System Condemned Immigration - As in 1956, the 1960 Democratic platform condemns the national origins quota system written into U.S. immigration laws in 1921 and perpetuated by the McCarran Waltcr Act of 1922, which was passed over President Tru man's veto with the help of Democratic majorities in both Senate and House. Congress, however, has steadfastly ig nored President Eisenhower's plea for a new immigration law. Both Sen. James O. East land (D-Miss.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Commit tee, , and Rep. Francis E. Walter (D-Pa.), top authority in the House, are quite satis fied with the quota system as it is, and it will take a miracle to convert or circum vent them. Interest Rates - The blunt promise that "a Democratic President will put an end to the present high interest, tight money policy" is a guarantee of fireworks ahead, in and out of Congress. Although histor ically committed to easy credit and low interest rates, many Democrats would op pose any effort to fiddle with the independence of the Fed eral Reserve System or its power to regulate the nation's money supply. Taxes - In pledging to "close the loopholes in the tax laws by which certain privileged groups legally escape their fair share of taxa tion," the platform singles out the depletion allowance, the 4 per cent tax credit on divided income, and "extrava gant" business expense de ductions. Earlier in 1960, the Senate and a majority of Democrats voted to repeal the dividend tax credit and to limit business expense deduc tions, but House conferees re fused to accept either pro vision. As for limiting the de pletion allowance - a plat form "first" in 1960 - such a proposal was rejected in the Senate by a majority of Demo crats as well as Republicans, by a vote of 30-56 (D-22-31; Flats Prices slashed on machine washable light weight fab- 5 O ric casuals.

STREET FLOOR R 8-25), Tax reform, when It comes, will set off an epic buttle between conflicting In terest groups, all ably repre sented in Congress. Promises for Farmer e Farm Policy - As usual, the 1960 platform promised tho farmer "full parity in come" with the help of prlco supports "at not less than 90 per cent of parity." But there is no assurance that urban Democrats are prepared lo swallow the old formulas for raising farm income and cut ting surpluses. The House re cently killed a wheat bill jack ing up price supports, by a vote of 171-236 (D 162-100; R 9-136), and most of the 100 Democrats voting "nay" were from the cities. No task fac ing the next administration, whether Democratic or Re publican, will be tougher than to write a farm program that will work and that can be enacted.
