Hubert Humphrey, who has avoided the primary contests, Carter runs behind by a 5044 percent margin. Since March, d Humphrey has consistently beaten Carter in pairings However, two questions must be raised about the prospects of an ultimate Humphrey nomination at the Democratic convention in July. One is whether the Minnesotan would continue to run well hi the polls if he became a declared candidate. Another is whether the majority of delegates who have been elected in primaries or state caucuses would hp witting te 1Weel4 a candidate who had not taken his chances in the selection process. The two most interesting pairings in this latest Harris Survey are those that pit Carter against Humphrey and 4 a;. ; ,...; .'T.',Nidtten Here are the key dimensions of the Carter-Browpairing: In their respective home regions, Carter and Brown clearly dominate the voting. Carter runs percent ahead in the South, while Brown wins by a comparable 4 percent in the West. In the Midwest, Carter holds a wide 5 percent edge. In the East, where Brown defeated Carter in the Maryland primary and will be contesting him for New Jersey's delegates next Tuesday, Carter holds a narrow 43-percent lead. Carter defeats Brown among those who never went beyond the eighth grade by 6 percent and among the high school educated by 7 percent. However, among the college educated, Brown wins by 5043 percent. Carter swamps Brown among Democratic conser atives by 5731 percent and kads among middle-o- f the road voters by 1 percent. However, among liberals, Brown forges ahead to a 1 percent lead. Carter wins easily among white Protestants by percent, has a narrow 2 percent lead among Catholics, but loses among Jewish voters by percent. Among blacks, Carter holds a 0 percent lead. When analyzed by income, Carter's support includes all groups below $15,0010, but Brown is ahead among the more affluent Democrats and independents by 0-4- 0 percent. Against Humphrey, Carter wins only the South 6 percent), but runs behind in the Fast by 5 percent, in the Midwest by 4944 percent and in the West by percent. He lobes to Humphrey in the cities and suburbs nationally, but easily wins the small town and rural areas. He carries the vote of people under 30, but is behind among people 50 and over. Carter defeats Humphrey among Democratic conservatives by 5042 percent, but loses the liberal Democratic vote by 4 percent. He loses the Democrats as a whole 2 by 54 12 percent, but wins the independents by percent. Ile takes the white Protestant vote by 54 39 percent, but loses the Jewish vote by a massive percent. It is clear from these results that Carter has real national appeal as a potential nominee of the Deaiocratic party. (c) 1976 by The Chicago Tribune ' ' ''.

And, according to one Second of three By Donald Smith Congressional Quarterly Last WASHLNGTON Rep. Donald J. Mitchell, Ford administration source, "99 percent of the push (for favors in return for votes) comes from Congress Since 190, the Defense Department has announced 2,764 base closings. reductions or realignments in the United States and Puerto Rico, to streamline the armed forces and cut waste and duplication. The closings would have eliminated almost 500,000 Jobs from the if they had all Defense payroll been completed. The Pentagon claims that so many have been torpedoed by congressional resistence that it has given up trying to keep track of the number. According to several past and present White House lobbyists, congressional pressure is most often applied obliquely. When a member of the White House staff calls a legislator to urge him to support the President in an upcoming vote, the member often reminds the staffer of some request he has made such as saving a military base in his district. "When you have a crucial vote and they know you're in a vulnerable position where you need help," said one White House aide, "you call them up and say, 'Can you help the President on this?' Invariably, year, considered generally moderate on labor issues. voted in favor of a emergency jobs bill heavily supported by organized labor. Less than three weeks later, Mitchell surprised labor observers 7 by switching sides and voting to sustain President Ford's veto of the same bill. The attempt to override 7 fell short by five votes. Shortly thereafter, word leaked out that the Air Force had reversed a 1974 decision to close down the Ronie Air Development Center IRADC). a large military installation in Mitchell's district. The emergency jabs bill was , designed to create one million jobs to help counteract the recession. The , s, decision to leave RA DC open saved , 1,294 jobs in Mitchell's district. Did Mitchell trade his vote for keeping the facility open? In an interview, Mitchell denied that lie negotiated an outright trade. But he acknowledged that he had discussed both issues with the White House prior to switching his vote, and that the switch was a factor in ,,' the Pentagon's decision to leave the facility open. '' My vote on the jobs bill was a factor in keeping the base open, but not. the key factor," Mitchell said. , "Both issues were decided primarily on the merits. I don't think how 1 voted on that bill was a key factor." Max I..

A former White House lobbyist for the Nixon administration said, "Usually you'll get a veiled hint, like, 'I've been asking the White House for a let of stuff and I'd like to help you out, but I need some help myself.' Much of this is done with a touch of humor, the former aid said, "But the message comes through anyway." William E. Timmons, who was Nixon's chief congressional lobbyist, said he never explicitly bargained with a member for his vote in return for keeping open a military base. But, Timmons said, "We were quite anxious not to close some of them if there were some merit to keeping them open, if it as a close call." Timmons added, "Members became almost violent on those sorts of things. It did create havoc with the (White House) legislative operation. Another important commodity the administration has to offer for a favorable vote is federal funds. The White House Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations estimates that the administrain tion will award some federal project funds this fiscal year through a variety of government contracts. They range from Department of Health, Education and Welfare research projects to Housing and Urban Development Department demonstration programs. Unlike the bulk of federal budget items where spending is mandated by statutory formula, the administration has wide latitude in picking contractors for these projects. For the most part they are small and medium-sizebusinesses, scattered congressional districts throughout the country.

Thereafter, Republican committee members dumped the amendments upon the committee. without a word to Chairman Miirphy about their oily ot igins. We have obtained copies of the timendments as th'y catne out of the typewritet6 of the petroleum companies. It can be seen that some of the Republican congressmen, in their haste to oblige the oil crowd, submitted the legislation without even ieplirasieg it.

But there might be enough pressure from consumers to force the bill out of the Rules Committee in an election year.
