By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Probably since time began, tnan has sought the secret of perpetual life.

Greek mythology relates the of the goddess Aurora, who convinced Zeus, the king of gods; to grant immortality to her lover, Tithonus, a mortal. But she was soon obliged to lock up Tithonus, who became senile. As the story goes, he was finally changed into a cicada. what extent, however, can man hope for a longer life- question falls into the realm of mathematical pro- bability, according to which the male in the developed countries is now granted an average term of 75 years and the female a span of 80. If this estimate is to increase the future, all mortality'fac- tors infant deaths, accidents that hppen to chilren and cardiovascular diseases that affect the mature adult, for ex- ample would to be reduced: According to statistics of the Metropolitan i Insurance improvement in-: longevity in the" United Stales has been substantial since the turn of the century, but has changed little But, based on a mortality condition, 75 per cent of the newborn may expect to reach their 63rd birthday and 50 per cent may attain 75 years of age.

Since 1965, ex- pectation of life at birth has improved by less than a year. The the human clock will go on ticking How about the future? okeliest estimate is that In recent Between 1900 and 1956, ex- pectation of life at birth for all persons, increased by over 20 years. Around 1900, according to mortality conditions prevail- ing at that time, less than half the newborn were expected to reach age 63. Only one-fourth had prospects of living to about 100 years. Already, there are cases here and there of people living to 120, 130 and even 150 years.

An interesting sidelight, from a 12-year study made by Metropolitan Life, indicates that prominent professional a business men live distinctly longer on the average tnan men in the general a i Scientists, a and clergymen show particularly favorable longevity. The mortality of the prominent men in this study was 30 per cent below that of white males in the general a i Business i and lawyers showed a death rate close to the average of the pro- minent men Physicians recorded mortality rates 10 per cent higher and governmen officials nearly 20 per cen higher than average. The best record for longevit was made mortality by scientists, whos rate a ap proximately 20 per cent belo average.

10, 1968 7-A By DON KENDALL AP Farm Writer WASHINGTON (AP) An dvisory committee suggests hat one of the most vital chal- enges for the next administra- ion is development of the pe- artment of Agriculture's role i making the United States a eltcr place in which to work, -lay and breathe. The 18-member Public Advi- ory Committee on Soil and Wa- er Conservation, which met tore for two days last month, ays in a preliminary report hat environmental quality man- agement should be aggressively mi-sued by the department. And, the committee added, uch a push can be undertaken hrough existing agencies.with- out creating a new bureacracy. "Existing authorities shoulc be funded for environmental quality management committee said. "Where au thorities are inadequate to car out environmental manage ment control, new authorities hould be sought." The report ranges far beyon traditional subjects.

Land and water conservation is in eluded as an over-all web tying together what the committe views as the most important as pect of resource management the use of land and water such a way as to benefit mor people, urban as well as rural. The best way to accomplis this, the committee proposes, i through expanded local effort involving federal and state help An argument is offered on bi half of local conservation di tricts as the grassrooi organizations. "Soil anu water conservation districts are logical catalysts )r bringing together within lo- al communities all interested individuals, groups and agen- ics--both rural and urban-- ho will benefit from the results conservation efforts," the re- ort said. This approach to environmen- al management could receive onsidcrable support in Con- ress if pushed by the new ad- ministration. Soil and water conservation at iie farm level has enjoyed bout 30 years elatively free of development of the kind of barges made against federal programs.

At the heart of this success is he soil and water conservation istrict--about 3,000 of them ver the country--in which local people design programs with he technical and financial aid of the federal government. The U.S. Soil Conservation Service provides the technical apparatus for carrying out land and water programs- on farms, but the cooperating landowners and operators themselves han- dle their own contracts with whatever government agencies are involved in financing. The committee report--which is due for final drafting later this month--lists 65 recommen- dations specifically aimed. at improving "the quality of th6 environment for all living thingi for the benefit of people." Among the proposals: --An Interagency Office for Health Activities which would have the power to initiate and promote coordinated health ac tivities within the Department and Agricultural coordinate these with other federal health programs.

8, 1966, Eichard Nixon and a few friends and aides were watching the off-year election returns pouring in on television. When the GOP triumph which brought 47 new House seats governorships exclaimed: and was eight new he beat the devil out of them this time and we'll do it again in To aides who had helped him campaign for the party through 35 states in 1966 that was the first unmistakable signal that he would seek the presidency again in 1968. There was up boubt his "we 1 meant since saw the 1966 outcome personal as in good victory.

From that beginning in late 1966 until now, Nixon moved with consummate skill through a shrewdly planned, almost er- ror-free campaign his image as a two-time loser, a too-familiar face a kind 'of mechanical man, and to lift the crushed Republican of 1964 to a presidency that seem- ed 'a million miles away the night they counted the votes for Lyndon Baines Johnson.

How he achieved this com- eback is in considerable part a well-known story. Yet, amazingly in this age when the camera's eye seeks to trail candidates everywhere and thousands of newsmen probe for their secrets, key elements in the Nixon story either escaped attention altogether or were misread. In his chronicle of victory, these matters need fuller tell- ing: The long, tiring sessions Aug. 7-8 at Miami Beach, when Nixon met with shifting groups of admirers and what seemed an agonizing quest for a vice presidential running mate, were "The senator wants to talk." jquietly and to prepare Thurmond thereupon pledged himself to Nixon, though adding essentially' an a a charade.

Confident of the crucial iouthern base, Nixon -and a mall group of aides held 'three secret meetings in June- and July to plan for the fall.election The first as a i avorite resort, Key Biscayne, The second and third were at a hotel near Montauk Point, where four years earlier Nixon had mjt unheralded with two old friends and aides to discuss his role in the upcoming campaign. At the Key Biscayne-Montauk sessions, the planning was hard- nosed; It was decided where son would campaign (just 30 states instead of the 50 he u'mself out covering in I960.) Linking up with state-level candidates was weighed purely on the basis of help or hurt to Nixon. The issues were review- ed, the nation's "law and order" mood correctly assessed and the pitch and bent of the campaign settled accordingly. Nixon had been foresighted from the beginning. Two days before the big 1966 election xiumph he appeared on a Sun- day panel show and said: "After his election I am going to take a holiday from politics for least six months with no political scheduled whatever." He stunned watching aides with this privately determinec decision.

Some dissented, but later yielded. This first and most famous moratorium' stretched out through most oi 1967, while Nixon kept himseli in the news by "campaigning' 1 in 80 counties on four continents Nixon's decision left his aides free to build his southern base ground for his entry into 1968 and his ultimate of hundreds primaries conquest delegates in non-primary states. Meantime, the glare fell inescapably on Gov. George Romney of Michigan, presumed to be the favorite of many GOP others. Already well told is tale of Romney' troubled 1967 centered on his confusion over the Viet- nam issue, and his sudden pull out in 1968 just 13 days before his first primary test with Nix- on in New Hampshire, 12.

Thereafter, Nixon's adversary was New York's Gov. Nelson Rockefeller. Pressure on him to. rim was immense. He surprised nearly all when declared oh March 21 would not.

Nixon men their maneuvering, which would have forced him into favorable Nebraska primary as an offset to a perhaps favorable Oregon test, had much to do with the decision. This reporter, slipped away from the Rockefeller meeting and flew directly to Wisconsin, where Nixon was campaigning for the April 2 primary. At a hastily called a conference mostly for the local press in Madison, he was exultant. He spoke in the generous tones of the winner moved to bind up the wounds of battle and con- ciliate the losers. No wonder.

April 30 entry The The was too late, and an inept campaign quickly put him on an ir- reversible downward course. Thurmond of South Carolina. According to the i camp's version, Thrumond tolc ilm: "If you think you need a ibcral running mate to win, go ahead and pick him.

I won ike it and it won't be good foi party in the South, but I'l go along. If you don't think you need that to win, don't do it." Nixon did not tell Thurmond lie had already made a choice he could live with. They had no private talks on th issue, though Thurmond voiced his approval of sevcra liberal prospects in the Aug. 7-f group talks. Since Thurmond's role in Nixon's campaign is so con- troversial, its beginnings have a place in the story.

On March 30, the day South Carolina's state convention chose its 22 de- legates to Miami Beach, the senator privately gave his total commitment to Nixon. Nixon aides, who had labored successfully more than a year earlier to line up vital southern support under the more or less firm control of such leaders as Sen. John Tower of Texas, par- ly national committeeman Fred LaRue of Mississippi a Howard (Bo) Callaway Georgia, were not happy with their South Carolina outlook. Thurmond and potent, state chairman Harry dent were presumed to favor Gov. Ronald Reagan of California.

Nixon aides at the Car- olina convention first work- ed persuasively on Dent for long hours. Later he called to say simply: Hw.
