Kennedy Is Gaining,
Party Leaders Hint

graphed analysis of the re-
turns, which claimed that his
vote exceeded that of any other
candidate, opposed or unop-
posed, in the history of the
Wisconsin primary and was
larger than the published pre-
dictions of pollsterS and polit-
ical pundits.,
The analysis also claimed
that Senator Kennedy had
made a strong showing in rural
areas.
Farm Strength Claimed
1t conceded that Senator
Kennedy won only 3 of 81 farm
counties bordering Minnesota,
Senator Humphreys home
State, but claimed 9 of the
Is interior farm counties"
went for the Massachusetts,
Senator, whose farm voting
record had been under strong
attack by his rival in the
primary.
Similarly, the Kennedy an
alysiS minimized the influence
Of Catholic bloc voting. It listed
13 counties, away from the
Minnesota border, having less
than 80 per cent Catholic pop
ulation, which went for the
Catholic Senator.
Finally, it sought to refute
the claim that Senator Kenne-
dy's victory was achieve d
through Republican Gross
over" votes. According to the
Kennedy analysis, there was
virtually no difference between
the size of the Republican
vote in the Kennedy
and Humphrey districts.
"The result" it said, would
not have been different in a

factory modification of this
provision.
Giving the SouthernerS credit
for a genuine concern over this
section, Senator Dirksen said
some change in it would take
the steam out of the debate"
and speed passage of the bill.
Leaders still hope for passage
this week.
The section provides that if
an application has been filed
with the court 20 or more days
before the election, and cannot
be passed on in time, the Judge
shall issue an order emitting
the individual to vote provision
ally.
If the application is filed
within 20 days of election, the
court, in its discretion, may
grant provisional registration.
In either case, the votes of
these provisional registrants
would be impounded pending
final determination after the
election of the qualifications of
these provisional voters.
Calls 1t "MOnstrOus"
Calling this a "monstrous"
provision, Senator Russell said
he does not know of a State
that does not require voters to
be registered at least 80 days
before an election, and many
States require six months.
Something has got to be
done about it," Senator Rus
sell added.
Senator Robertson, Democrat
of Virginia, said the provision
would violate "the election laws
OF every state"
If the leaders work out some
compromise on this question it
will be only the second change
made in the bill since it came
from the Judiciary Committee
ten days ago. In the meantime,
both the Northern liberals and
the Southerners have failed in
efforts to strengthen
or weaken the bill.
Three more attempts failed
yesterday. They were:

ocrat of Colorado, to provide

He assumed sadly that SEN
ator Kennedy will bring his
brothers Teddy and Bobby, his
two chief lieutenants, in with
him. They both spoke and
were reported in the news
papers widely in Wisconsin.
Senator Humphrey knows
that the Kennedy organization
is much more Streamlined and
efficient than his own. The
brothers are close-knit and the
Senator is the boss.
The Humphrey organization
is troubled by factionalism.
There is the conservative ele-
ment represented by James H.
Rowe, jr., a veteran of two
Stevenson campaigns, and the
liberals represented by Joseph
Rauh, jr., former chairman of
the Americans for Democratic
Action. They do not agree.
Resented by Liberals
The liberals resent the pres
ence in the camp of Mr.. Rowe,
a former close adviser of SEN
ate Majority Leader johnson,
who is, the liberals say, really
Mr.. Rowe's first choice for the
White House. The Embarrassing
and the speech-writing is done

Mr.. Rowe's liberalism is not

leader Humphrey.
Senator Humphrey is aware
of these staff strains. Mr..
Rowe was not brought into

largely by the Humphrey Min

race against Senator Kennedy.
The Minnesotan asserted that
the Democratic vote in Wis
consin was for Humphrey. +"
and that Senator Kennedy's
margin Of victory was supplied
largely by a "cross-over of
conservative Republican vot-
ers."
Nixon Not That Weak"
He said he did not think the
conservative Republicans would
support Senator Kennedy if he
is the Democratic candidate
for President against Vice
President Nixon in November.
Anybody who thinks Mr..
Nixon can win only 80 per cent
Of the Wisconsin vote is smok-
ing opium. He's weak, but he's
not that weak"
Senator Humphrey said he
thought there was very little"
bigotry in the Wisconsin race,
but later he said he was mot
sure" whether Senator Ken
nedy's Catholicism would be a
liability in a national contest.
1T depends on how the issue
is handled. We would have to
work on it to keep it from
being a disadvantage" he said.
Senator Humphrey said he
was "gratified" by the support
he won from farmers and Ne
groes. He said he carried Negro
districts by a 81 margin, and
noted that Negroes are a big
ger voting bloc than either
organized labor or farmers"
Disappointed by Labor
Senator Humphrey said he
was disappointed at his failure
to win Endorsement from or
ganized labor in the Wisconsin
race and commented that Sena-
tor Kennedy showed great
strength" in industrial areas.
He said that he felt "the pri-
marieS are not going to decide
the nomination, unless Senator
Kennedy wins them all"
Gov. Orville Freeman of
Minnesota earlier today also
expressed the feeling here that
Senator Humphrey polled more
Democratic votes in the Wis
consin primary than Senator
Kennedy.
"a Lot of Republicans
Rejecting suggestions that
Senator Humphrey lost by a
landslide in Wisconsin, the
Governor said the Democratic
vote totaling more than 850,OOO
was 100000 more than Demo-
cratic Gov. Gaylord Nelson of
Wisconsin, a Democrat, got
when he was elected.
He said this meant that
there were "a lot of Republic

Gov. Freeman said Repub-

Senator Kennedy would be the
weaker candidate against the

Persons earning under $500 a
year would not have to pay.
States would handle the pro-
gram under general supervision
of the Health, Education and
Welfare Department and would
have considerable legislative
latitude in setting up their own
programs. Nevertheless, in
every State the individual sub
scription fee and the benefit
payments for health services
would have to be the same.
U. S. Would Share Cost
State and Federal govern
mentS would share in paying
the difference between the total
of subscription fees paid by the
beneficiaries and the full pre-
MUM cost Of the health care
services. This would total
about SIS billion annually.
The Senators estimated that
the Federal Government would
contribute about $480 million
when the program was in full
operation, the States a total Of
$640 million, and the subscrib-
ers $400 million.
Health care services to the
aged would be somewhat more
comprehensive than those pro-
vided in the Forand bill. They
would include disqualification
up to so days a year, medical
and surgical treatment, new
drugs. skilled nursing care and
certain costs of treatment by
physicians in hospitals or in

They recalled, however, that

So, to make your day bit brighter, here
are some more tales with happy endings:
In Czorist RUssiu there once dwelled
rabbi with such golden voice that every
body clamored to hear him. In his sleigh
he made triumphal tour. In every city
he visited, pretty girls pelted him with roses
and rich merchants piled him with compi-
ments and gifts.
Outside one town the rabbits faithful
driver stopped the sleigh and suggested,
rabbi, for once I'd like to be the one
receiving all the honors and attention. Just
for tonight, change clothes with me. You
be the driver and I'll be the rabbi
The preacher, merry and generous soul,
agreed, but added, Remember, clothes do
not make the man. If you're asked to
explain some difficult passage of the Tai
mudic Laws, see that you don't make a
fool of yourself"
The exchange was effected. When the
two men arrived at their destination, the
bogus rabbi was received with tumultuous
enthusiasm, and obviously enjoyed every
minute of it. Furthermore, since he had
heard the rabbits speech hundred times,
he delivered it faultlessly.

George B. Cooke informed

report.
The company had 8,499 tele-
phones at the years close. an
increase of 1864 from a year
earlier. Payrolls decreased to
$294.444 in 1859 VS.. 1888 300 in

to 70 at the years close from

If your business or rental
property was damaged by fire,
storm, flood or other natural
disaster in 1859, your tax loss
deduction now may be bigger
than ever allowed before. Also,
If you suffered any major busi-
ness casualty losses in years
from 1856 on, a new loss rule
may permit you to collect a
refund of taxes from these
earlier years.
So for vital tax-savings
reasons, do these two things:
Make sure that you under

pairing your 1859 return:
Recheck your earlier returns

rule pays of, suppose your
business or rental building was
severely damaged by fire in
1859. The building had a de-
preciated cost to you of $780,
600, but actually was worth
100000 on the open market,

before the fire. Because of
the fire, the value of the prop
erty slumped to $4,000.
If the property had been
your home or some other non
business or non-income-pro-
ducing property, the Treasury
always was willing to let you
deduct a loss of $30.000-that
being the drop in value of your
property caused by the fire.
(Of course, the loss couldn't
exceed the cost of the prop
erty0
But for business or income
producing property, the Treas
ury had another rule. Here it
used a ratio approach. Since
your property dropped 30 per
cent in value because of the
fire, your deductible casualty
loss was 80 per cent of your
deprecated cost of $4,000.
This entitled you to deduct
only $4,000 instead of the
$4,000 which you could have
deducted if the property had
been your home.
