Clark Jr. Polfaicos Toe flJark For Election rive By JOHN TOSCANO For most people, Labor Day merely marks the end of summer, but for politicians it has special importance since it has traditionally been a starting point, a day for kicking off election campaigns, a day that means that Election Day is just two months away. This is especially true in presidential years and the point hasn't been lost on local politicos. A survey of Brooklyn and Queens party leaders shows campaign preparations and plans are well advanced and all organizations geared for all-out efforts in the fight between President Nixon and Sen. McGovern.

Past election statistics clearly demonstrate the key parts played by the two boroughs in determining who wins the state and its 41 electoral votes. In the 1968 race between Nixon and Sen. Hubert H. the two counties combined close to million votes, almost a quarter of the total vote cast in the state's 62 counties. of New York to implement whatever measures you may suggest to enable your state to cope with any similar problems, which are inflicted on the people by out-of-state vehicles," Leone said.

He then said that a city crackdown on out-of-state parking scofflaws be hobbled unless New York, New Jersey and Connecticut could agree to exchange driver information. "Unfortunately, our ability to penalize and collect against outstanding summonses and parking violations incurred by New Jersey, Connecticut and other non-New York State vehicles depends entirely on cooreration from those other jurisdictions," Leone said. Shortcomings of Towing "There is no wav in which we Writing to Gov. Cahill of New Jersey and Thomas J. Meskill of Connecticut, Leone called for a reciprocal agreement with New York State that would permit a full exchange of automobile registration records needed to collect parking fines from out-of-state violators.

Leone said that the city's Transportation Administration had been unable to collect an estimated $3 million in parking fines because information on out-of-state violators could not be obtained from their home states. "Get Tough" Campaign He added that a current "get tough" police campaign of handing out summonses to parking violators, particularly in the Downtown and Brooklyn Heights areas, has "discouraged illegal parking practices of Brooklyn residents. "The summonses have had little or no effect, however, on the numerous out-of-state automobiles that are parked throughout our downtown area," said Leone. "This is obviously unfair and should not be tolerated under the long-established policy of interstate cooperation in the enforcement of the law." Leone stressed that a recipro- II II Kinns Democrats in the twin bor- oughs, with an assist from the Liberal Party, accounted for roughly three-fifths of Humphrey's vote in New York City, borough was enough to overcome XT QOC 19J rAfa rnyrrrin in upstate and suburban areas. The Brooklyn-Queens vote was crucial as Humphrey carried the state by just 370,000 votes.

It was not surprising, therefore, to hear Fioravante G. Perrotta, Nixon's campaign manager in the city, state that the Republican effort will be aimed mainly at Democrats and will be concentrated in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. In Brooklyns, newly elected GOP chairman George L. Clark Jr. will personally direct the Nixon campaign.

Wells said he did not think the present intra-party difficulties, which arose over the July party chairman's election and resulted in a court-ordered second election, would have a detrimental effect on the Nixon campaign. In Queens, Republican leaders John Durante and Robert Barnes have tapped John Price, a 33-year-old Little Neck resident, to direct the Nixon reelection effort. Price, a former special assistant for urban affairs in the Nixon Administration, said he has convinced the can force them to provide us with i the names, addresses and vehicle I descriptions that are necessary for us to proceed against the owners," he added.

Not only has the Brooklyn Bridge become a lady in her own right, but is a standing memorial to another lady, Mrs.

Mrs. Roebling, wife of the bridge's builder, Washington Roebling, learned higher mathematics and bridge engineering to carry on her husband's work after his health had been undermined while laying the bridge's foundations. At completion, the bridge cost $15 million to build and cost 20 lives including the life of her designer, John A. Washington's father.

Consequently, he hopes to bring in "leading administration spokesmen" to spark the local campaign. As in Brooklyn, Queens Conservatives, headed by Ridgewood's Serphin Maltese, will run a separate campaign coordinated with the Republican effort. Maltese said he would continue "the traditional club-oriented" campaign structure used previously in Queens, adding that final campaign plans will not be formulated until funds are received from the Nixon people. Interviews with the Republican leaders reflect their optimism that they can attract Democrats and independents to Nixon.

They also indicate by their tone that nonetheless Nixon has an uphill fight to take the state from McGovern. GOP presidential candidates took the state three times in the last eight elections. Democratic Party leaders are equally committed to strong campaigns to build large pluralities in the two boroughs for McGovern. Brooklyn party leader Meade H. Esposito, putting aside his past differences with McGovern staffers, vows "we're going to make an all-out effort." Esposito feels that ny the time November rolls around all the misconceptions about McGovern will disappear and the Democratic vote, including the Jewish vote, will be firmly in McGovern's column.

Comprehensive Drive Queens Borough President Manes, campaign manager for McGovern in Queens, echoed the same sentiments. Manes said a "large scale" storefront, door-to-door canvassing and a telephone campaign will be waged "to get the McGovern message across." Supported by county leader Matthew J.
