"To me, that's buying an office, rather than an election," O'Konski said. "I spent $13,000 in the last election and that's been the average of my 30 years in Congress." He said he has set $25,000 as a ceiling on what a candidate for Congress should spend. The congressman said that he will decide if he has "enough See STATE, Page 14, Column 7. proach" by North Vietnam.

The delegates stayed in session from 7:30 p.m. Tuesday until 6:25 a.m. today to complete their work on the platform.

The convention gave the Alabama governor, crippled by a would-be assassin's bullets, a two-minute ovation when he was wheeled to the podium. It listened respectfully to his firm-voiced argument that it should appeal to the "75 to 80 per cent of the American people (who) are against senseless, asinine busing of school children," and, in other respects as well, largely rewrite the draft platform.
