Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS New Mexico one of the oldest of our SO states, and yet one of the newest. .When Santa Fe. its capital, was founded by white men, the Pilgrims had not yet landed at Plymouth Rock. But! New Mexico was relatively late in achieving the status of state hood. New Mexico's government goes back to the ancient institution of feudalism. The members of its early aristocracy received their lands as fiefs bestowed by kings. They ruled in the feudal manner, with power of life and death over their retainers. Yet today no American state is more democrat ic New Mexico's early economy was simple and pastoral. Its pres ent economy is as modern as guided missiles. Oil, gas, urani um, electronics these are the things that make its present econ omy click. New Mexico is a study in con trasts. Those of us who flit through the Southwest from time to tunc are more familiar with places to eat and sleep than with other in stitutions of the regions we flit through. So . . . let's see if we can cite a few such places that will dramatize the story of this land of contrasts this Land of F' chantment, as New Mexico calls itself in these days when the tourist is an important item in its economy, Let's start with Taos, up in the far north. In Taos, there is La Dona Luz It is a restaurant. Its founder was a fabulous character. As a child . . of mixed Spanish and native blood , , she was what amounted to a serf. She saw In dian sieges of aristocratic hacien das . . . and escaped barely with her life. She rose to riches and power. The restaurant that bears her name is a must for the tourist. By deliberate intent, it is kept almost exactly as it was when it was the center of the robust life of half-Spanish, half - American New Mexico. You drive 70 miles up from Santa Fe and 70 miles back to see it and sample its food and soak up its atmosphere . . . and you come back feeling! that you have had your money's worth. - Then there is La Fondar in San-i ta Fe itself. It stands on the ex act spot that was occupied by a combination inn and trading post in the days when Santa Fe was the Mecca of the American Moun tain Men, including Kit Carson, and the traders who drove their ox and mule teams over the old Santa Fe trail, and the home of the Spanish aristocrats who gov erned the New Mexico country then. , It is now one of the loveliest and most charming hotels of; Western America. It has retained all of its ancient flavor in its hit,, its lobbies, its dining rooms and its guest rooms. Yet it reeks with glamor and drips with ro mance of the past. It is the un questioned social center of Santa Fe New Mexico's nearly four-centuries-old capital. Now for the contrast. Moving on from Taos once the winter hang-out for the American Mountain Men who spent their summers trapping the beaver and eluding the hostile Indians and now one of America's most fa mous art centers and from love ly and historic Santa Fe there is Albuquerque named for the Duke -t a ii ...u. ..: .t'Llovd Euoene Dickenson. 35. of im ;uuuiuci iuv. miiu fis vuT:iuy ui Mexico ordered it to be built 60 miles farther down the Rio Gran de because the Santa Fe area was getting too crowded.

An hour before classtime, 40 teachers marched outside Seward Park High School on Manhattan's lower East Side. Six pickets pa trolled Dunbar Junior High in the Bronx.

Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Sen. John K. Kennedy both undertook man-killing schedules for this election eve before awaiting the verdict from Tuesday's voting. Public opinion polls indi cated Kennedy was ahead but not by a margin big enough to generate overcon fidence in Democratic com mand posts. Nixon lieuten ants disputed the polls and said they failed to reflect that Kennedy had passed a crest two weeks ago and that the vice president's timing carried his campaign to its peak at election time. Both sides recognized that the religious issue Kennedy is a Ro man Catholic was one of the big unknowns of the campaign and that it could both help and hurt each candidate. Another unknown factor was the impact of Presi dent Eisenhower's vigorous. Ilth hour campaign in behalf of Nixon. A record turnout is exnectcd iTuesduy. A forecast from Rcpub lli,. NJli.,.,l u.,.l , " ... the figure at about 67 million or within the 65 to 68 million range Democratic headquarters predict cd that the vote might climb above 89 million, compared with the previous record vote of slight ly above 62 million in the prcsi denlial election of 19D6. In his final sprint, Kennedy was booked today for appearances in Rhode Island,. Connecticut, Ver mont and New Hampshire before moving into his home territory of. Boston lonigm. He will hear the returns Tuesday night at his sum mer home at Hyannis Port, Mass, After fulfilling a pledge to cam paign in all 50 stales by flying to Anchorage, Alaska, Sunday, Nixon headed back east in an overnight flight to Madison, Wis.

S. Vergcer was in formed by the Oregon Slate Board of Census that the popula tion of Klamath Falls was back lo its old figure of 15,831. When this preliminary figure was first released earlier this year by the Bureau of the Cen sus, it was protested vigorously by the city and the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce as being erroneous. The population of Ihc city had been estimated at 20.200, and ccr tilled at that figure in 1959 by the stale boud. Aflcr bofh Hie chamber of com merce and other agencies had waged a campaign to round up residents who might not have been counted in the census, the Bureau of Ihc Census came out M ,n lnc e"" " I'!"1 lion of 17.765, an increase of 944 over the first figure released.

GOP vice presidential nom inee, campaigning today in New England, will share the TV screen with Nixon. Eisenhower will be shown from Washington and Lodge from Boston. The GOP has time on all three national TV networks between 10 p.m. and midnight, EST. Kennedy scheduled his final TV appeal from Boston over CBS at 11 p.m. EST. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson, Demo cratic vice presidential nominee, was making his final campaign appearances in his home state of Texas, one of the major battle grounds of the campaign. Campaign managers for both candidates are most concerned about seven slates with the larg est blocs of electoral votes New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michi gan, Illinois, Texas and Califor nia. These states combined have 205 of the 269 electoral votes need ed by the winner. Democrats arc confidently claiming Kennedy ahead in all seven. Republicans, who are jit tery about New York and its prize of 45 electoral votes, claim Cali fornia and Texas for Nixon and call him a victor in at least a majority of the seven stales. TO AID VOTERS The aged and ill, the crippled, and others who want to vote but have no way of getting to the polls are Invited to call Peace Ambulance Service, TIT 2-3456, for free transportation from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. to morrow. The service will be provided In the city and out of It, Regu lar ambulance service will be provided.

"To obtain clarification, we wrote lo Howard G. Brunsman, chief of Population Division, Bu reau of Ihe Census, and called this problem to his attention. As you will note, the corrected pre liminary total remains 16.831, as stated in our population bulletin No. P-l of August, 1960. The higher figure of 17,765 was shown in the August, I960, prelim inary population estimate by the Bureau of the Census. In a subsequent letter, sent to the stale board In October, Ver gcer took Issue with the method of arrival at the Klamath Falls figure and pointed out that the figure of 16.831 as against an acknowledged 6,816 housing units would give the city only an aver age per residence of 2.36 as against a three plus average for Salem, for example. Vergcer wrote, "I am enclosing the forms filled out with the In formation at hand, but cannot agree to any 2.3 ratio of occu pants per living unit. Naturally we will have to accept your final determination, but I feel this should be on a ratio generally applicable throughout the state (or incorporated cities."
