Over the years the United States has bought and is banking vast quantities of some 95 strategic items, from castor oil to pillow feathers, to tide the nation over in case of several years of war. A Senate investigation of the stockpile program in 1962 disclosed that stockpile purchases had been eminently profitable to friends of certain figures in the Eisenhower administration, but the subject was not delved into in depth because they had been, and presumably continue to be, politically profitable to not a few congressmen as well. Lead and zink are two examples of commodities overpurchased in the past only to subsidize producers and stimulate a sluggish market. Now President Johnson's threat to turn loose quantities of stockpiled aluminum to force back a price rise has made the stockpile a partisan issue again. The Republicans can be expected to concentrate on the questionable use of the stockpile as an economic weapon.

If it could be wielded against the aluminum industry, could it not also be held over the heads of the producers of any of the other commodities? But there are other questions that need to be asked. Speaking of feathers, we now have more than 7 million pounds of them, enough to make twice as many pillows as the Department of Defense estimates would be needed in a three-year war. Rubber was originally to be stockpiled to a maximum of 130,000 tons. There are now 662,000 tons in storage. The tungsten stockpile, set at 44 million pounds, has swollen to nearly 159 million pounds.

Castor oil is.even worse. This source of jet engine lubricant had an original objective of 22 million pounds. We are swimming in 175 million pounds of it. All of these not only cost tremendous amounts of money to buy, but to store. The problem is to reduce them to logical levels.

They can't be dumped on the market without depress- Lyfe Wilson Decision Oh Voter Qualifications Most of the opinion in which may not intrude Into this field VV NO RESPECT FOR NATIONAL WHIRLIGIG News Behind the News By ANDREW TUU.Y ing prices. Giving them away to foreigners would do the same thing to the international market. Throwing them into the sea might much as just letting them sit. Pennies from Philly On the theory that makes sense to spend money to make money, Uncle Sam never too tight with a loose buck anyway is putting out $37.7 million for a fine new coin factory, in Philadelphia. This new plant will replace the outmoded 65- year-old mint that used to be regarded as pretty snazzy until we learned how to really spend money.

It's hard to believe this, but only'three or four years ago the mints at Denver and Philadelphia were turning out only a measly four billion coins a year. The target for the current fiscal year is 11.2 billion. WASHINGTON This a pretty good for the master of baseball. They took only 16 months to find a new commissioner who wouldn't be any trouble to them. He is a three-star Air Force general named William D.

Traditionally and historically also the authority of the states to establish voter qualifications has been limiled by the process of constitutional amendment, TODAY'S BEST FROM EUROPE and does not have, power to regulate the subject matter by egislalive enactment." Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution gave the states all power to regulate voter qualifications. The 15th Amendment limited that power by forbidding discrimination. When the 1965 act comes finally to the Supreme Court the process will be the reverse of the foregoing. The Supreme Court first will satisfy itself that there has discrimination holding the act to be conformity with the Constitution as amended.

LAFFLKR UPI Financial Editor NEW YORK (UPI) A former newsman who thought he knew nothing about salesmanship is now making a handsome living as a management and marketing consultant. William R. Sears was foreign financial editor of United Press, now United Press International 18 years ago when he was awarded a fellowship lo get a master's degree at Stanford University.

Today he is head of Sears based in San Francisco, a company which conducts semi nars for large corporations; particularly those in the aerospace industry. From Stanford Sears went to Sylvania, where he sold bulbs before being promoted lo a managerial job. Then he went to Philco Pa'lo'Allo, as public rela tions representative and then as manager of marketing serv ices for the company's spacr division. "I began, to get invitations be chairman of seminars to various groups in New York San Francisco, Chicago, Dalla and Saranac Lake," Scars sal In recent interview. "Thes seminars were concerned wit eting and public relations." In 1959 Scars set up a small ompany as a sideline lo ac- ommodate those firms which wanted seminars or lectures.

"I went into the business full ime in 1963," Sears said. "One lienl led lo another, such as iughes A i a Then I ranched into consumer products such as Paul Masson Wines, Ryan Aeronautical and LTV Aerospace Co. at Grand Prairie, Tex." Sears generally docs all the alking on the first day of the eminar, outlining what is to be discussed, how ideas are ex changed and other pertineni matters. On the second day the larticipanls are allotted lime 0 discuss their points and then 1 general discussion session is conducted by Sears. "You know I believe I coul never have succeeded in thi jusiness if I had not had news naper training," Sears said.
