Spokesmen for both groups expect at least 50,000 persons at the rally and confidently hope for at least twice that number.

The new twist will be an emphasis on tax resistance activities inspired partly by the coincidence of April 15 being income tax filing day and partly by the growing importance of tax protesters in the anti-war movement. There will be at least five tax resistance activi anny, whether it be the tyranny of the extreme right or the extreme left.

By Michael Kenney Globe Staff Six months after 100,000 people massed on Boston Common shouting for peace in Vietnam "Now!" the anti-war movement will try it again this Wednesday. The 4 p.m. rally on the Common is to be the centerpiece for anti-war activity more intensive than at any time since the October Moratorium and the November Mobilization.

The April 15 rally has been organized jointly by the moderate Massachusetts Moratorium Commit Arthur Stivaletta, of Dedham, chairman of the Wake Up America Committee, said: "Things are happening throughout our land which greatly disturb us, things which we feel must also be of real concern to every citizen." The rally has no ties with any political group, Stivaletta said. "All Americans, young and old, liberal and conservative, lose by violence," he said. "Violence and destruction are the seeds of anarchy and tyr The Dedham Board of Selectmen and the Boston City Council have passed resolutions supporting the rally. "All of us, young and old, liberal and conservative, have for too long been silent on the issue of violence," Stivaletta said.

Everyone around the airport has had his fingers crossed because the figures have been climbing steadily but, beginning Wednesday, the pressure will be off. A long-needed traffic-control tower will go into operation, thanks to a rare instance of Federal-stale cooperation an air safety project. Arnold Stymest, airport manager, said the Norwood field has been eligible for years for a control tower under load criteria set by the Federal Aviation Administration. "The thing we were most afraid would happen just happened in February," Stymest said. "Two small planes collided but, fortunately, nobody was injured.

'This was a decisive factor in the decision by the FAA in Washington to approve a cooperative proposal made by the State Aeronautics Commission." Ifv JOHN QUINLAN challenges pick Normally, the FAA is responsible for the erection of air control towers where needed, and for the supply of personnel. Despite the obvious need at Norwood, this was out of the question because of a lack of federal funds. So the state proposed to spend $33,000 out of pilot-plane registration fee revenue to purchase a portable tower if the FAA would agree to supply traffic controllers. Funding problems were still a factor, but they were solved when the FAA decided it would be possible to man the tower by a redistribution of personnel. The state had suggested that controllers at the Nantucket and Hyannis airports, both of which log light loads in Winter, could be reassigned to Norwood.

The Republicans will choose between Rep. Martin Linsky of Brookline, the announced choice of the governor, and Sen. John Quinlan of Norwood, a major party organizer for several years. Both their candidacies became official last week.

The Democrats, as it stands now, will choose between Rep. Michael Dukakis of Brookline and Sen. Beryl Cohen of Brookline. Neither man has official backing from any of the Democratic leaders in the state. Dukakis is the only one of the four who has not announced publicly.

He plans to make his campaign official Apr. 23. Linsky's candidacy came as the biggest political surprise lately. It was virtu- ally announced by Gov. Sargent.

No one outside the governor's closest advisers anticipated either Linsky's announcement, or the governor's endorsement. While he was campaigning for the governor's backing over the past year, Linsky's efforts were little noticed. Linsky, 29, is a graduate of Brookline High School, Williams College and Harvard Law School. In his student years he worked several Republican campaigns. He was a legislative and research assistant to Elliot Richardson, when he was lieutenant governor in 1965 and 1966.

He served as an assistant attorney general in 1967, when Richardson was attorney general.
