Washington Wl A husband- and-wife team who earned S53.862 annually as office aides to the late Everette M. Dirksen may be broken up professionally as a result of the senator's death.

John R. and Glee D. Gomien had become the highest paid couple working as congressional office aides in Capitol Hill his tory. John Gomien was paid $27,528 in the last fiscal year as Dirk- sens administrative assistant; records show Mrs. Gomien was paid $26,334 for the same year as an executive secretary.

Dirksen died September 7 and rules provide that his office employes may remain on the Senate payroll for up to two months to finish the business of his office and to find other em ployment. Gomien already has another job as administrative assistant to Dirksen successor, Senator Ralph Smith His sal ary for the current fiscal year is $27,933.

Mrs. Bandaranaike adminis tration nationalized the life in surance and oil industries, ex propriated properties belonging to Shell, Caltex and Stanvac, placed all schools under govern ment management and estab lished state corporations to control internal and export trade. Mrs.

Bandaranaike now wants to resume her socialist programs, originally advocated by her prime minister husband, who was assassinated 1959. Women Compared The Freedom party newspaper and the Marxist dailies have been comparing the two women and presenting them as redeemers" doing battle against vest ed interests. The image is popular with rural leaders and large segments of the lower income groups who feel that Premier Dudley Senan-ayake's United National party, Dissatisfied With TV Role, Eleanor Parker Is Quitting Stockholm WV-An outspoken Socialist named Olof Palme, the sharpest Cabinet critic of the United States role in Vietnam, is expected to emerge this week as Sweden's new prime minister. The ruling Social Democratic party will select a new leader Wednesday, and this means a successor to Tage Erlander, who is retiring after 23 unbroken years as Prime Minister. The leader of the dominant party automatically qualifies as prime minister.

42 Years Old Others have been mentioned, but Swedes generally expect Palme, an Erlander protege and flow Minister of Education, to get the job. At 42 he will be youngest chief of government this country has had. The shift means the Social Democratic party, in power for a quarter century, is replacing its old guard with a new generation of Socialists. Erlander, 67, will formally resign next week along with his Cabinet. His party won its greatest election victory a year ago.

Palme has been a controversial figure almost from the day in 1953 when Erlander appointed him as a personal assistant. He made enemies because of his sharpness in debate, and aroused distrust because of the quarrelsome nature of some of his opinions. But he was loved by the young left wing of his party as their alternative to left extremism outside the party. No one has denied Palme's intellectual brilliance, his ability and capacity for work. His rise in politics and the government has been spectacular.

Atni-War Protester Within a decade, he entered Parliament as its youngest member, became a minister without portfolio, then rose to Communications minister and finally Minister of Education. In February, 1968, soon after he took over direction of the educational system, Palme picked up a torch and walked side by side with the North Vietnamese Ambassador to Moscow in an anti-American demonstration through downtown Stockholm. In parliament, the opposition through downtown Stockholm. In parliament, the opposition demanded that Palme be fired from the Cabinet. To many crit ics, at home and abroad, Palme in a way personified all the anti-Americanism which had been running through the land because of Vietnam.

"My role nas become peri pheral and of little importance, the veteran film star said Sunday. The show, which gives a behind-the-scenes view of a "I love the Senate," she said. "I've been here since 1951, but I'll have to base my decision on the opportunities which may come my way." Long Service As Dirksen's executive secretary and on his Senate office payroll, Mrs. Gomien served as executive secretary in the mi nority leaders office at the Capitol, a short distance from th Senate chamber. The Senate does not provide in that office for an executive secretary and so the new minority leader Senator Hugh Scott (Pa.) will bring in his own executive secretary.

Both the Gomiens worked for Dirksen when he was a House member John was with him 28 years and his wife 24 years. There are only a few husbands and wives who work on The Hill. But there is at least one con-gressman-and-wife secretary combination who draw even bigger checks. movie studio, features Miss Parker as secretary to the never-seen studio chief, Bracken. She said the initial concept was to use 11 permanent stars as a "repertory company," but weekly guest stars have become the dominant characters.

Miss Parker said she will bow out at the end of the first 13 episodes. AND be admired SAVE $13 Baltimore St. at Charles Edmondson Village "I'm sorry, the President isn't in the White House today. He had to fly to Washington." There's flattery in the lustrous look of Palme says he feels that he knows the United States better than most Swedes because he studied and traveled there. "Critical Of U.S." "I am not anti-American but I am critical of v.b.

policy in Vietnam," he said. Palme spent 1948 studying at Kenyon College in Ohio on a scholarship and took a bachelor of arts degree. He then hitch hiked through 34 states before returning to Sweden to study law. He also visited Indochina. While he has acquired a pronounced leftist profile over the years, many bweaisn political observers expect to see a trend toward the middle to win the same measure of trust among Swedes that his mentor Erlander enjoyed during his long ca reer.

Changing Image Palme has been making an effort over the last year to change his public image. Many Swedes used to scoff at his appearance on television and recoil from his sharp retorts. Palme now carefully combs his hair; it used to look like a haystack. His tie is neatly knot ted instead of hanging loosely to one side and he dresses conserv atively. But he is attuned to what he regards as Sweden's needs of the day.

A few months ago he flew by helicopter from his summer house on the Baltic island of Faaroe to Stockholm. He was tempted to relax and enjoy the wonderful landscape, he said later, "but then, looking down, I News Service Until Barrientos's death in i helicopter crash April 27, Ovan-do preferred the disciplined atmosphere of the military garri sons where he would summon political leaders and other officers to discuss the drift of Bolivia's affairs. While the Barrientos regime was outwardly supported by the armed forces, Ovando and many other military leaders privately deplored the lack of economic progress and rumors of govern ment corruption, a condition that the 1964 revolution had vowed to correct. Played Key Role After Barrientos's death, the chief of staff played a key role in averting a bitter feud over the succession by backing then Vice President Sues, a wealthy and conservative lawyer, as constitu tional president. Mrs.

Bandaranaike, 52, also hopes the rising cost of living and unemployment will help her back into office just as they worked against her when she was defeated. She faces serious obstacles. Her coalition is not as united as she would like. The Commun ists, numerically small, are con-stantly intriguing against the Trotskyites in the left-dominated trade unions. Factions Differ A pro-Peking wing within the Freedom party is at odds with both the Communists and the Trotskyites.

These differences are most prominent in village council elections and in conferences held to pick joint lists of candidates to stand for the general elections which must be called by March. Consequently several defec tions to the United National par ty have taken place. Senanayake seems confident he will return to office. In rural areas, where the bulk of Cey lon's voters live, farmers are making more money than ever from intensive programs to im prove crop yields, and from higher price supports.
