--'vv Titanic Tragedy: Memory Lingers on By Ward Morehouse NEW YORK Mrs. Henry B. (Renee) Harris exemplifies the unquenchable human spirit. She. lived the Titanic disaster, which took the life of her husband, the Broadway producer and theater owner.

She met with dignity the financial reverses that left her penniless. She survived recent major surgery. The other evening, surrounded by friends and buoyed by a message from President1 Johnson, she celebrated her 90th TELEPHONES: ALL DEPARTMENTS GLENS FALLS RX Mill BUBOCRIFTIOlf RATBB: Br mU in urtttortw not enrid br earrltr boyii and within tha atatM of Nw York and Vermont, S13 par year; for all month; tor ttiraa monthi; 11.7 par month.

He has corftpleted the march to Jackson. that was interrupted when a would-be murderer ambushed him on the road, and he has said for all the world to hear that the-Negro must conquer fear and play his rightful part in the of government.

Meredith's focus on "the fear that grips the Negro in America to his very bones" the fear, as he sees it, caused by a nationwide system of white supremacy may seem exaggerated. Yet event8 during the course of the march to Jackson, coupled with earlier acts of violence and terror that have for the most part grone unpunished, leave small doubt that the Negro's fear has a valid basis. James Meredith's hike along Mississippi roads started out as a one-man effort to urge his fellow Negroes to put aside their fear and register to vote so that they could have a larger voice in the government. After the shooting it turned into a mass demonstration that culminated in a rally attended by thousands of Negroes and a few hundred whites near ihe state capitol in Jackson. At one point, more than a few observers even, it seemed, Meredith himself felt that the march had been turned into something quite different from, his original intent.

Some wished that a single marcher had taken up the torch from the wounded Meredith and carried it alone down that long, hot road. It was thought that this would have provided a far more dramatic voice for racial equality than did the rush of other civil rights leaders to have a part in the march. Yet on the whole it turned out well. Meredith was in again at the last, gratified by the outpouring of support for the cause he championed. And what he and others said in behalf of that cause wjll be heard.

Brown Pushes Panic Button In Contest with Reagan Washington Report Fulton Lewis Jr. Not Dodds' Atone National Whirligig By ANDREW TULLY WASHINGTON Tom Dodd's little purgatory before a jury of his Senate peers is not his alone. As the Connecticut Senator listened to the testimony before the Senate Ethics Committee charging him with misconduct, he represents the dilemma faced by every Sena- tor and every House member in this era of the million-dollar political campaign. That dilemma poses the complicated question of how nice a Senator or a Representative should be to a. big campaign contributor.

It is a dilemma which reminds Tom Dodd's peers that their own houses are mostly glass. There is reason to suspect that Tom Dodd was too nice to Gen. Julius Klein, a lobbyist for various German business interests. Their relationship apparently was so intimate and Klein was so sure of his influence on Dodo, that' Klein is shown a 'having given detailed instructions to Dodd on the best way to approach German officials who had the power to renew Klein's 000 to contract with the Society for German American-Cooperation. Indeed, in a memo submitted by the Ethics Committee, Klein dropped VIP names all over the place.

Dodd was told that in dealing with West German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard he should quote from a letter written by Hubert Humphrey which said "Julius Klein" has more friends in Senate and the House of Representatives than any man 1 know." The same memo represented Klein as having the support and friendship- of Sens. Jacob Javits, N.Y.), Everett Dirksen, and Stuart Symington, and laudatory letters have been introduced from Sens. Wayne Morse, Abraham Ribicoff, and Karl Mundt, S.D.). There is, of course, no evidence (hat any of these political figures acted improperly in Klein's behalf. Dodd himself has not been convicted of any crime except perhaps poor judgment.

And yet all of them left themselves open to an interpretation that their names and their reputations were being used on Klein's behalf. This happens all the time for the simple reason that politicians do not go around being unpleasant to big campaign contributors. Within the limits their consciences which in many instances are unusually elastic they try to do favors for these contributors, in any case, they do not snub them. Thus it is a matter of record that Klein contributed to one of Dirksen's campaigns, and that subsequently Dirksen joined with the late Sen. Olin Johnston, S.C.)-another Klein beneficiary in sponsoring a bill in the early 1950's for returning $600 million in German assets seized here during World War II.

There is no evidence that either Dirksen or Johnston sponsored the bill because Klein helped him financially, but that doesn't stop people from wondering out loud about it. It is all very well to say that it is unfair to hold up to approbrium senators who may be pure-as the driven snow, but that such things happen is Congress' own fault. In the private-club atmosphere of Capitol Hill, there is no rigid code of ethics relating to conflicts of interest. High-ranking Executive Department officials roust divest themselves of or place in trust stock in companies with which they may have to deal, but on Capitol Hill the elected official has only his conscience as an imprecise guide. Klein's Iname-dropping may be offensive, but it emphasizes that the present system inadequate to the pressures DUt on members of Cnnar by inose who seek political m- nuence 10 learner uicir own financial nests.

The record bulges with the cases of Senators and Representatives who have not been equal to wrestling with their consciences when political gain was stake. Tom Dodd and his peers would not be in purgatory today if Congress had any standards worthy of association of Lascar stevedores. END OF THE LINE NATRONA HEIGHTS. Pa.

The Doctor Says: Live Long Life, And Probably You'll Be Senile By WAYNE G. BRANDSTADT Newspaper Enterprise Assn. What causes older people to get senile? What can be done to prevent it? A Since senile means elderly, the cause would be long life. If you are referring to senile dementia or Alzheimer's disease which affects some persons who live 50 years or more, heredity plays a part in the cause. A person with a family history of this disease should have a physical check up once or twice a year to detect early signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries and obesity as these conditions are often associated with- Alzheimer's disease.

The disease progresses slowly but in most cases treatment in a mental hospital eventually becomes necessary. I am. a man, 56. Five years ago I was told I have polycythemia. What is the cause and what is the prognosis? A- The cause of polycythemia, an increase in the total number of red blood cells in the body, is unknown.

If the disease is recognized early in its course and adequately treated, it should not shorten your life but, since there is no cure, the treatment must be continuous. This is one condition for which the medieval practice of blood letting is of value. A pint of blood can be removed from the victim two or three times a week until the red cell count is normal and about once a month thereafter, Carefully regulated doses of phenylhydrazine or injections of radioactive phosphorus have also been used to maintain a normal blood count. Q-Is polycythemia a form of cancer of the blood? A-No. It is in no way related to leukemia.

(AP) The Kotary Cub is "for the htd" it. here. The ervir rhih k. vviiiiiiuiiiL mtz i vil'p nmuwr 1 a Handgun Sales Boom Figures culled from police records in Los Angeles turn a spotlight on the need to place the sale and possession of handguns under more stringent' controls. The sale of such weapons in Los Angeles is expected to exceed 31,000 this year.

That compares with the state Criminal Identification and Investigation Bureau's estimate of about 13,700 sold during 1965. This alarming: increase may reflect special conditions in Los Angeles, among them fear in the wake of the disastrous rioting in the city's Watts area. The problem is to be found throughout the nation, however. It is heightened by lax regulation of mail order gun sales. The situation is almost sure to grow worse until more sensible controls are enacted into law.

n. Mrs. Harris believes she got into the last lifeboat, a col-lapsible. -About five minutes later, she saw the Titanic slide- into the ocean "and I knew that my beloved and all the others were gone." Her boat was picked up by the Carpathia. Her husband's body was recovered, but the jewelry he had placed in his pockets was missing.

At his death Henry B. Harris was a wealthy and influential producer and owner of the Hudson and Harris Theaters. She lost the Hudson, the last of his holdings, on a foreclosure of mortage in 1932, It is now a burlesque house. Mrs. Harris once owned a yacht and a showplace estate; she now lives with her mem ories (but quite zestfully) in a single hotel room on the West Side.

In his lifetime, and through a bequest, Henry B. Harris gave generously to the Actors Fund. Today the Fund contributes to his widow's support. They had no children. Among her close friends is Walter Lord, who wrote the best-selling book on the sinking of the Titanic, A Night to Remember.

THE LARGEST TURKEY The "Alan" Jay Lerner-Burton Lane musical, "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever," appears to have lost more money than any production in Broadway history. It closed, after 273 performances, with a staggering deficit of $850,000. Thus, as dramatist and. lyricist, Lerner has had the costliest flop on Broadway, as well as the biggest hit, "My Fair Lady." The sale of "Clear Day" to Paramount will ease the hurt some- what, but cannot change the" record. Originally, Richard Rodgers was to compose the music for "Clear Day." When the project dragged on, he cleared out and Burton Lane, who wrote the captivating score for "Fia nian's Rainbow," moved in.

Originally also, Gower Champion was to direct "Clear Day." When he bowed out, David Merrick offered him a little thing called, "Hello, Dolly!" which he grabbed, and with some help, turned into a smash. Other closings: "Sky-scraper," a musical starring Julie Harris, after 248 performances at a loss of around "The Royal Hunt of the Sun," with a deficit of $90,000 and 261 Hal Holbrook's "Mark Twain Tonight," which made a profit of $50,000 on its 85 performances, and "A Time for Singing (Tessie O'Shea, Lau-rence Naismith), at a loss of about $450,000 and 41. pcrfs. BRING ON THE CLOWNS The death of Ed Wynn, at 79 in California, reminds us that the great clowns have all but disappeared from the New York stage. Only Bert Lahr is left, and he is visible more often in a potato chip TV commercial than on stage.

Ed Wynn (Edwin Leopold, son of a Philadelphia Millinery manufacturer) flourished in an era that produced a number of extraordinary comics Eddie Cantor, W. C. Fields, Bert Williams, Joe Cook, Dave Chasen (now a Beverly Hills restaurater), Gallagher and Shean, Loon Errol, and Will Rogers. Even with that competition, Wynn was a superior clown, given to lisps, chuckles, and nervous giggles, and always with his acrobatic eyebrows in full play. He made his first Broadway appearance in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1914, after years in vaudeville.

Edmund "Pat" Brown has pushed the panic button, in a desperate attempt to salvage victory from Republican Ronald Reagan. The authoritative California Field Poll reports that Reagan holds a commanding 15-point lead, 52 to 37, with 11 per-cent undecided. Not for two decades has a Republican gubern a i a 1 hopeful held such a lead at this stage of the campaign. The Field Poll indicates that Reagan will receive heavy support from the nearly one million Democrats who backed Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty in the Democratic gubernatorial primary. During that campaign, Yorty blamed Brown for the state's soaring crime rate, for the spiraling cost of welfare, for waste and conflict of interest within the state government, for the virtual takeover by young radicals of the University of California at Berkeley.

Brown replied by linking Yorty with the "radical right," suggesting that the Los Angeles mayor was running in the "wrong primary." But Brown is now ardently if clumsily wooing Yorty and -his followers. In a blatant attempt to win their backing, the governor announced last week that he was submitting to the legislature "anti-riot bills drawn up by Yorty. The move may have backfired. Negro leaders, led by Assemblyman F. Douglas Fer-rell of Watts, accused the governor of "total capitulation," shamelessly "begging" for Yorty's support.

Republicans noted that Brown had refused even to consider anti-riot legislation until Yorty's surprising showing in the June 2 primary. Brown had, in fact, maintained there was no need such legislation. Yorty has not yet announced choice for governor, but there is considerable doubt that even an all-out endorsement of Brown could turn the trick. Polls indicate that those Democrats who opposed Brown in the primary will support Reagan regardless of Yorty's public stance. Brown goes into the November campaign as the nominee a hopelessly divided party.

Unpopular with Democratic moderates, he is now alienating the state's Negro voters by courting Yorty. He McCluskey's working at Warner N.Y. celluloid factory. The new FCC commissioner Nicholas Johnson, youngest in FCC's history, has sister at CBS News on the night shift. Milton Shapp, Dem.

To compound his problems, a number of radical leftists who entered the Democratic Congressional primaries on anti-Vietnam platforms and ran strongly, have said they will not support Brown unless he adopts a militant "antiwar" position.

One leading peacenik, Robert Scheer, has suggested that liberal Democrats defeat Brown as a lesson to the national party. Reagan, in contrast, has behind him a united party. He has been unanimously endorsed by the GOP delegations in Congress, the State Assembly, and the State Senate. Such backing is unprecedented for a California Republican nominee. "We are united to remove the present Democratic ad-.

ministration," says Republican Assembly leader Robert Monagan, a moderate, "and to return to the people the quality of leadership they deserve." "I've never seen the Republican Party so united," said Senate GOP. leader John McCarthy. "These are the most attractive candidates we've ever had." Reagan's running mates include Bob Finch, the articulate nominee for lieutenant governor; Assemblyman Houston Flournoy, another bright young campaigner who is tuning for controller; Spencer Williams, an outstanding young lawyer who is the candidate for state attorney general; Mrs. Ivy Baker Priest, the former United States Treasurer who is running for state treasurer; and Secretary of State Frank Jordan, a proven vote-getter who is seeking re-election. Former San Francisco Mayor George Christopher, who lost to Reagan in the GOP primary, has pledged his support, and so have the men and women who directed his campaign.

The attitude of Arch Monson who was Christopher's statewide coordinator, is typical. "I believe the best interests of California will be served by a Republican landslide this year," he says. Monson says that he worked for Christopher because he believed a change in the state administration was desperately needed, adding: "That belief hasn't changed and the only way to bring it about is to elect the whole Republican ticket." The only major" Republican who kas yet to endorse Reagan is Sen. Thomas Ku-chel, but party chairman (jay-lord Parkinson is confident that he. will join the bandwagon.

Reagan expects to meet with Kuchcl in the near future to discuss the campaign. Polls indicate that Reagan can win without Kuchel's endorsement. Sen. George Mur phy buclced the Johnson landslide in 1964 and won as Kuchel re a i ed silent. Murphy racked up the greatest vote of any California candidate in history in winning that election.
