KING Albany, N.Y., flipii New York may be the White House key for Richard M Nixon or John F. Kennedy. Supporters of the rival presidential candidates keen ly aware of the importance of ine states 45 electoral votes arc waging a battle for the fa vor of nearly eight million voters. They know that in re cent history only one man Harry b. Truman won the presidency without carrying New York. Publicly the opposing poli tical camps are predicting victory, but privately they say it will be a toss up. And that is the thinking on which uity nave Dased the cam paigns. Kennedy and Nixon will be frequnt visitors to the s'ute between now and elec tion day. They intend to cam paign from one end of the slate to the other. Their corps of campaign drum beat ers will hit every cross-roads. ''To win in November, we must carry New York," Ken- n e d y told his managers. Nixon feels the same. One thing is certain, New York cannot be classified as a "safe" state for either Re publicans or Democrats. Its voting history is one of sur prises. Despite Dwight D. Eisenhower's landslide sweep in the 1952 presidential con test, Republicans and Demo crats have tasted both vic tory and defeat in the in terim. Harriman Scores Upset W. Averell Harriman, the New Dealish Democrat, won an upset victory over former U. S. Sen. Irving M. Ives, a top Republican vote-getter, in 1956. Eisenhower repeated his earlier performance in 1956 and two years later along came Nelson A. Rocke feller. . Rockefeller, a new face on the political scene and a Re publican, tripped Harriman by a wide margin. The national lineage, occu palions and interests are varied among the 16 million New Yorkers. There are so many intangibles, crystal gaz ing is hazardous at best and most pollsters wind up with a "but." No single issue has ever been strong enough to sway an election in the state. The state makes an ideal setting for the candidate Ri , ST 5 If, 11 j2 ' ill WEDDING STOPS TRAFFIC While a London bobby holds up traffic for the wed ding party, U. S.

But, the record shows he would not get away with it. Candidate Switches Tuns A few years back, a can didate seeking a state office told a group near the St. Laurence river he thought it would be a fine thing if a waterway could be complet ed. The next day in another section of the state, he told an opposing committee he didn't think the project was such a good idea. He was ap plauded at both meetings, but when the votes were count ed he was retired to private life. A presidential contest brings out the greatest num ber of voters. Eisenhower had no trouble carrying the state both times he ran. In 1956, he polled more than four million votes, nearly twice as many as Adlai E. Stevenson. But, in the. days of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democrats looked just as good. When Alfred E. Smith op posed Herbert Hoover in 1928 he was riding high as The Happy Warrior" and the state's most popular gov ernor. When the votes were however, Smith lost the state to Hoover by about Drive Set To Make Washington Scene Of Good Practices Washington - IUPB - The Federal Trade commission will soon launch a drive to make Washington a world showcase of good business practices. Chairman Earl W. Kintner told United Press Internation al he wants to make the na tion's capital an example to the millions of Americans and foreign visitors who come here annually to see "how the free enterprise system works at Its best." He said the FTC is investi gating numerous complaints of shady business practices in Washington and will move shortly to clean them up. 100,000. That sam: year, Nor man Thomas, the Socialist polled 107,000 and the Com munist parly drew 10,000. "A state with a voting his tory like New York can never be taken for granted," a political leader said. "Every election is a new challenge calling for new techniques."

"But there are a few who do not live up to the highest stand ards of business etliics-which makes it hard on the honest businessmen." He said his agency will go after business concerns which make false advertising claims, especially about TV sets and appli;iccs. phony sales and "bargains." He added that many servicemen who come through Washington or are stationed near here have fat len prey to unscrupulous used car dealers. The FTC has "no excuse for failing to crack down on such practices, Kintner said. because it has complete juris diction over the District of Columbia. The agency must prove that interstate com merce has been involved in business abuses alleged elsewhere. Kintner, 48, is an Eisen hower appointee. He took over the chairmanship of the FTC last year. Since the Sen ate failed to confirm his nom ination for a new six-year term on the regulatory agen cy, he will serve until a suc cessor is appointed. He was among several Eisenhower nominees on whom Senate Democrats withheld action. Education Essential Tool In .the IS months he has served, Kintner estimates he has made 160 speeches, ap peared about 300 times on TV, and held a like number of in formal press conferences and interviews to educate the general public and business circles about the goals of the commission. He believes that education is an essential tool in combatting unfair trade practices. Kintner said he actually got the idea for his Washington clean-up campaign from busi nessmen he's talked to on his trips around the country. They suggested we ought to clean up our own back yard," Kintner said, "before going after businessmen in other parts of the nation."
