On "Meet the Press" Senator Kennedy said that his family's wealth did not help his candidacy since there were limits on how much a candidate could spend for his nomination. Ik was challenged by Senator Hubert Humphrey who pointed out that there are no legal limits on how much can be spent for the nomination nor even, strictly speaking, on how much can be contributed to a candidate. Congress, for all the pious outcry over big political spending in the recent past, has done nothing to curb Humphrey has several times spoken plaintively of how he is handicapped by a lack of the streets.

Producing countries have tried to curb production but the coffee yield continues at high levels. The resulting lower prices permit marketing concerns to include more of the higher grades of coffee in their blends without much effect upon the price at retail. The trade also reports crop conditions have served to brake the trend toward soluble coffee.

Following the formal announcement of his candidacy, according to one of Humphrey's aides, he received 4,500 letters, most of them containing contributions of $1 to $10. These widow's mites added up to $8,000.

But in terms of a national campaign that is chicken feed. Kennedy has challenged the other candidates to go into the presidential primaries, saying in effect that only by meeting this test will they merit the nomination. But whether Humphrey and Kennedy actually fight it out in any primary is still a question. With New England safely his, Kennedy is entered in" the New Hampshire primary.
