Editorial QUIET DAY IN MEDINA Contrasted to the interest that has been gen- erated for a long period of years by the fielding of two tickets in the Medina municipal election, today's affair is tame indeed. This marks the first time in several years that there has been no opposi- tion to the eandidates of the Citizens Party. This obviously reflects a general approval of the present mayor and duct of village affairs attention necessary to duct of any municipal his trustees with the con- which is heartening. <The the management and con- ity from the town board to the City of New York has attendant problems that were entirely out of the scene a few years past. Rising costs of operation, the demands made by us all for services that we did ourselves a genera- tion ago, and other factors, combine to make muni- cipal administration an exacting one. We still hold to the opinion that costs inci- dent to some type of administrator with the exper- tise essential to the m continuously on the job, any facets of government, would be more than com- pensated for in the benefits that would avail from his endeavors. One of the tasks that confronts the new board of trustees will be finding some other source of revenue than presently exist with real estate taxes shouldering the entire load. A shining example of this is in neighboring Middleport where their in- come from sales taxes provides a generous part of their yearly operating costs. - : _ Medina has long sought some share in the multi-million dollar income source received from the Orleans County sales tax with no success, Ap- parently the only avenue left for the county villages to receive a part of this income is from special legislation amending the state law which now mandates that villages share in counties where there are cities, this is the way Middleport partici- pates. The state law should be made applicable to every county with incorporated villages,. In this manner the villages would not be subject to the whim of a county board of supervisors. It is easy enough to say that it all comes out of the same poc- ket and what additional taxes we pay to provide op- erating costs for other municipalities we save in the lower costs of county operation. This is not sound municipal procedures. It provides one area of gov- ernment with the opportunity of expanding costs because of increasing revenues. This in many in- starices removes the challenge to curb expenses that prevail when tax revenues are less limited. The new board of trustees should again at- tempt to tap this tax income source to ease the burden on real property tax payers. The Lighter Side By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) -For years, people have been playing ''Monopoly'' and enjoying the vicarious thrill of driving their compeitition into bankruptyey. So now, under the fairness doctrine, let us give equal time to a game called \Antitrust.\ The rules: the game is played on a board marked off into spaces that represent large companies. Each player selects a plastic octupus, which repre- sents a conglomerate, and places it on the space marked “G03, The player spins an arrow to determine the number of spaces he moves. Each time he lands on an unoccupied space, he may draw a \merger\ card which adds that company to his conglomerate. With every merger, however, he < also must draw an \antitrust'' card, which may delay or block the merger or force him to divest one of the merger cards obtained pre- viously. . Some Key Cards Here are some of the key \Antitrust\ cards: -Your Washington lobbyist writes a memo that falls into the hands of a syndicated columnist. Go back five spaces. -In destroying the rest of your Washington lobbyist's pa- pers, your necktie gets caught in the papershredding machine. Remain in place. ‘ -Your Washington lobbyist corners the attorney general at a Kentucky Derby party. Advance five spaces. --The attorney general won't talk about anything but horse racing. Go back two spaces. -Your Washington lobbyist has a few too many mint juleps. Lose next turn. -You arrange three confer- ences with top officials at the Justice Department. Advance 10 spaces. f -Your own case somehow never enters the conversation. Go back five spaces. . -An officer of your con- wlemerate is introduced to a - Justice Department official at a neighborhood party in the suburbs. Advance three spaces. Remain in Place -Somehow they never get around to talking about your case either. Remain in place. -The Justice Department announces it is appealing your case. Return to go. -You fear you will lose the appeal and seek an out-of-court settlement. Lose next turn. -The Justice Department fears it will lose the appeal and also seeks an out-of-court settlement. Advance 15 spaces.. -An outside survey arranged by the White House is favorable to your case. Advance 15 spaces. One of your companies obtained in a previous merger helps offset the expenses of a political convention. Spin again. Almanac Today is Tuesday, March 21, the 81st day of 1972. The moon is between its first quarter and full phase. The morning star is Jupiter. The evening stars are Mercu- ry, Venus, Mars and Saturn. Those born on this day are under the sign of Aries. Theatrical producer Florenz Ziegfeld was born March 21, - 1869. On this day in history: In 1790 Thomas Jefferson of Virginia became the first U.S. secretary of state. He later became the third President of the United States.

In less scornful language, the bosses can be called kingma- kers, seasoned professionals who know how to find the most electable presidential nominee. The candidate also would be a consensus choice to unite the party and help elect its state and local candidates. | In the common view, Mayor Richard J. Daley of Chicago is a boss. The late Thomas E. Dewey, while governor of New York, was the more suave kingmaker. Both know or knew how to use the power of political patronage and other tools to influence delegates to support a candidate. This was the textbook view of national political conventions except for some historic party rifts like the Democratic party split in 1968 over the Vietnam War. A by-product of that split was a revolt against \the establish- ment\ and bossism and a convention mandate for reform action. A major goal was to encourage the maximum parti- cipation of rank and file Democrats in the delegate selection process. A reform commission wrote a set of rules and guidelines for the choice of delegates. More states adopted presidential pri- Moscow Will Test Out Nixon China Strategy By STEWART HENSLEY UPI Diplomatic Reporter WASHINGTON (UPI) -The full impact of President Nixon's China trip on the global game of power politics cannot be accurately determined until he visits Moscow in May. The question raised in world capitals is whether Nixon's success in easing some of the tensions between Washington and Peking will make it more difficult for him to arrive at agreements with Russia, which is locked in a bitter ideological and territorial dispute with the Chinese. The Soviet Union, suspicious from the beginning of Nixon's China trip, have charged him 'with engaging in some sort of anti-Russian plotting with Chairman Mao Tse-tung and Premier Chou En-lai. The Russian charges of '\'collusion'' are described by American officials as ludicrous. They point out that the progress made during the Peking talks toward \normaliz- ing\ Chinese-American rela- tions was very limited, and further advances, if they occur, will be very gradual. American officials contend there is no reason why Nixon's efforts to ease the tensions in Asia should influence the (Free expression is the mark of a progressive com- munity.

To The Editor: I would like it to be known that I am not trying to ruin any one's theatre, but I still would like to know why restricted films are off limits to kids under 17. About three weeks ago I wanted to go and see a GP film but I could not because there was an X film running on the same bill. The X was \Midnight Cowboy\ and running a GP with an X is ridiculous because a lot of teen agers under 17 might have wanted to see the GP movie. I don't understand this system. Kremlin to forego the opportu- nity to arrive at agreements on European and Middle Eastern affairs and nuclear arms limitation matters, which are as much to their interest as they are to that of the United States. However, it is possible to understand why Russian lead- ers, with their conspiratorial view of history and diplomacy, were uneasy about Nixon's talks with Mao and Chou. Russian officials assert that Nixon's ebullient description of his seven days in China as \the week that changed the world\ must indicate he arrived at some secret understandings with Chinese leaders, since the contents of the joint commu- nique did not warrant such an extravagant description. The Russians are also aware that Presidential adviser Henry A. Kissinger, in background - briefings which subsequently were made public, expressed the view that the more trouble the Russians had on the Chinese border, the more likely they would be to make some concessions in Europe and the Middle East. They assume, therefore, that Nixon's China operation was designed to give him more leverage against the Soviet Union. PEOPLE'S FORUM Either I'm too dumb to notice, or the theatre business has not made it clear enough. I wish someone who knows would tell me. KENNETH J. MATTOON. SUB TRAINING WASHINGTON (UPI)-The Navy will begin training 87 Nationalist Chinese officers and enlisted men next week at its submarine school in New London, Conn., although the United States still has not decided whether to supply Taiwan's navy with a subma- rine. The navy of the Peoples Republic of China has more than 40 diesel-powered attack submarines, while Taiwan has only surface ships. The 26-week training course is being paid for by the Nationalist Chinese government. Cog caer wrs must have been to see vision distorted.

To the extent that state laws allow, state parties using either primaries or convention systems must allow delegate candidates to declare their presidential preferences or to run as uncommitted. . This procedure has made it necessary for presidential con- tenders to rely even more heavily on building organiza- tions to turn out their supporters to vote in primaries or in precinet or district caucuses, where the selec- tion process begins. While the delegate candidates may run committed to pres- idential aspirants, public opi- nion polis indicate. that voter attitudes toward the contenders change almost as fast as the weather, especially for the party out of power. Muskie has by far the longest list of governors and senators, who have formally endorsed him. But their personal support often is not a convertible asset.
