The Republican assemblyman first challenged the right of Reynolds Electrical and Engineering Co. to a tax exempt status last May and the legislative commission asked the tax-agency to review the situation. SHOULD PAY TAXES Pozzi based his challenge on opinions written by legislative counsel Russell McDonald that Reynolds should pay sales and use taxes, motor vehicle fuel taxes, vehicle privilege taxes and license fees. McDonald said in his opinions that under his construction of the contract, believed to be in effect between Reynolds and the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) the firm is not exempt from state taxes. The attorney general's office has now also suggested the tax commission re-evaluate and reassess the tax liability of contractors doing business with the Youthful Mobs In Viet Nam Sack Buildings SAIGON, South Viet Nam (AP) Youthful mobs in Saigon, Hue and Da Nang sacked and burned buildings today in the worst outbreak of organized rioting in South Viet Nam since last summer.

Kennedy's still unannounced candidacy gained momentum at the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, N.J. Kennedy resigned as a delegate from Massachusetts, obviously preparing to enter the New York race. His announcement is expected Tuesday.

Mayor Robert F. Wagner and United Nations Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson made statements at the convention backing Kennedy. Wagner endorsed him last Friday, but evidently wanted to knock down reports that his support was reluctant. Rep.

Samuel S. Stratton of Amsterdam apparently was still planning to fight Kennedy for the nomination at the state convention on Sept. 1. A group of Stratum's upstate supporters in the Liberal party met in Saratoga Springs, but failed to say they will buck that party's probable nomination of Kennedy. The Republican-Conservative tug-of-war over Mrs.

Luce, former Republicar congress-woman from Connecticut and ambassador to Italy, held the spotlight. The telegram to Burch was signed by National Committeeman George L. Ilinnan, one of Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller's closest associates, and Dorothy MeHugh, the national commit-teewoman.

Burch said in Washington he had no immediate comment on the telegram. A highly placed source in New York State said Rockefeller saw the telegram before it was sent and approved its content and tone.
