This hole is the stretch of railway tracks along which the Austrian railroad oper ates a daily train-Eisenstadt-M a t tersburg-Sopron-Deutsch-kreutz - in Austria's eastern most province of Burgenland. , The " shortest distance be tween two given points is the proven straight line. This line between North and South Burgenland passes through a part of Western Hungary that juts ' into Austria like the thumb of a right mitten. It is called the "Oedenburg tongue" and became part of Hungary in the referendum of 1921. At this time the Aus trian railroad received the right to maintain the "corri dor train" across the roughly 11 miles of Hungarian terri tory. Costs Less Than 20 Cents A Western passenger can cross from Schattendorf to Deutschkreutz without a pass port and without a visa. The half hour trip which twice cross the iron curtain costs less than 20 cents. The journey begins at the small Burgenland : village of Schattendorf, and passes through Mattersburg.

They have orders to shoot if any Austrian should try trTdisembark or, as is more likely, if any Hunga rian should try to jump onto the "freedom train."

The outlook is doubtful at this stage. Vice President Richard Nixon and Sen. John F. Kennedy have scheduled additional swings into the state in stepped up campaigns, Both sides are confident, with the Republicans point ing to the fact that Democrats have been unable to put their presidential nominee over in the state since 1944 when Franklin D. Roosevelt won his fourth term. They also point to their basic strength outside the large metropolitan areas. Picture Said Changed' But Democrats say the pic ture has changed, and that this is a Democratic year. The traditional Republican registration lead in the Key stone State has dwindled from its strong margin of almost one million back in 1954 to 23,000 in the primary last April 26. The Democrats upset the 16 year hold of the GOP on the governorship six years ago, and have steadily in creased their power on the grass roots level with court house and municipal victories since that time. The key to victory for either side may hinge on the showing in the state's two largest cities - Philadelphia and Pittsburgh - which are Democratic strongholds and have been holding the balance of power for the Democrats in statewide contests in re cent years. ' GOP Wooi Miners The Republicans will have to hold down the- expected Democratic majorities in those two heavily industrialized areas, with large Roman Catholic populations in order to push the national ticket across with the help of much of the rural and outlying counties across the state. The state's hard-coal region, with its acute unemployment problems, is also being wooed furiously by the GOP in an effort to brine it back into the party fold. Some anthra cite counties have strayed into the opposition camp or have been turning in sharply re duced margins for the party. U. S. Rep. William J. Green, the efficient leader of the Philadelphia Democratic or ganization, predicts a major ity of about 250,000 for the Kennedy-Johnson ticket in the Quaker City - and he has a record of delivering on his predictions. His streamlined organization, for example, de livered a 123,000-vote margin for Adlai E. Stevenson in 1956 while President Eisen hower was carrying the state by 603,000 votes. Green is credited with play ing the major role in Gov. David L. Lawrence's victory in the 1958 gubernatorial race, by delivering a 177,000 plu rality ifi Philadelphia.

With industrial demand for the white metal running three times ahead of domestic pro duction and demand for silver coinage rising steadily, the U. S. treasury has seen its general silver fund drop sharply. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1960 this fund was cut by more than 65 mil lion ounces to just above 157 million (M) ounces. At present rates of disposal this general fund silver would last less than three years, ac cording to Grosecloso, Wil liams & Associates, Washing ton financial analysts. Question Brought Up In a study of the silver situ ation the company brought up the question of how would the treasury meet its coinage needs when its general fund is exhausted. The treasury's viewpoint is to draw upon its monetary reserve silver. This is the silver (1,677,000,000 ounces as of June 30) held to secure silver certificates outstand ing. Such certificates, at least those ' of $5 denomination. would presumably be replaced by federal reserve notes, Groseclose, Williams said. Substitution of federal re serve notes for $1 silver cer tificates would require addi tional congressional authori zation. The company said there would be several objections to this policy. Under a mone tary directive laid down by act of congress in 1934, public policy is to increase silver nedy should defeat Nixon by 50,000 votes in that area. But they emphasize that is a guess. Religious Iuu Uncertain Unemployment, t o t a ling about 350,000 in the Keystone State, is a big issue. But one of the imponderables is the religious issue and the effect it will have on the predom inantly Protestant electorate. Lawrence, who stayed on the fence until virtually the last minute before throwing his powerful support behind Kennedy at the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles, is himself a Catholic He conceded before the con vention that his own Catholic ism had been a factor in his hesitation to run for the gov ernorship before 1958 - de spite his role as "Mr. Demo crat" of Pennsylvania for many years and the fact that he could have had the party nomination at any time in that period. ' ' State Race Overshadowed Herbert Hoover won Penn sylvania's electoral votes in 1928 by a margin of 987,796 votes; compiling 2,055,382 against 1,067,586 for Al Smith. The contests for statewide offices have been overshad owed by the presidential races. At stake are the posts of auditor general, state treas urer and a seat on the state Superior Court. On the dis trict level, Lawrence is most anxious to snare control of both houses of the Legisla ture. He has been plagued by politically divided legisla tures since his inauguration in 1959. The Republicans have been in control of the Senate for 22 years. .. $450 HIU,i: HILL Si Demand for Silver Government Circles stocks in the monetary tern until they equal sys onc quarter of the total. Directive Obsolete The proponents of liquida tion of the silver monetary reserve rejoin that this di rective is obsolete, the study saia, ana tnere is little point in maintaining silver as a con stituent reserve in a system founded on gold. However, the company de clared, the fact is that with diminishing gold reserves of the United States, any physi cal asset of high liquidity and universal marketability serves to bolster the monetary sys tem. Certainly, it added, to re place this silver with govern ment Bonds, which would be the case if federal reserve notes were substituted, would only be "another act of in flationary mayhem." What also is overlooked by advocates of selling off treas ury silver, the company said, is that silver still is highly re garded as money in the pre cise areas of the world where the United States today is spending billions of dollars through its foreign aid pro gram.

Exclusive in all tional political scene, the fi nancial analysts said the pres ent hardly seems the appro priate time to be liquidating a strategic asset like the treas ury silver reserve. The company noted that the consumption of silver in coinage is bigger than ever despite the vast substitution of paper money the past 50 years. When the federal reserve system was set up in 1913 the annual requirement for silver coinage war. less than 10 million ounces. In fiscal I960 that figure reached 40 million ounces. The Increased usage is at tributed to many factors, in cluding the soaring popula tion, prosperity of the times, the rise ot the parking meter, and the increase in coin-vending machines. About four million, of these machines look in some $2.2 billion in small change in 1959, immobilizing the coins for extended periods of times. This was twice the amount dropped into the machines in 1952 and nearly four times as much as in 1946. Silver is finding more and more demand from industry.
