Capital Comment Democrats Worry About Over-optimism By ARTHUR L. SRB Associated Press Writer MADISON, Wis. (AP) Although the 1974 primary and general elections are months away, statehouse Democrats believe they have virtually everything going for them in congressional races. Only one factor, Democrats concede, could work to their disadvantage. That is over-optimism.

It is not only Watergate and the Democratic victory in Michigan last week for Vice President Gerald old congressional seat that is troubling Republicans. Privately, many observers believe the GOP also will have to contend with nagging inflation, unemployment and the fuel crisis. no longer such a thing as a sure Republican seat in the Wisconsin congressional State Sen. Fred Risser of Madison said confidently. Two years ago, Risser predicted Democrats would wrest control of the nine- member congressional delegation from Republicans, and they did, despite President lopsided victory over Democrat George McGovern.

Republican targets considered the most vulnerable this year are in the 8th and 3rd Districts, represented respectively by freshman Harold Froehlich Election Year Jitters a Strike in Senate WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate, tom by election-year jitters over raising the pay of congressmen and other high government officials, has put off any votes until Monday. And, under a complex agreement reached Thursday night, it may take most of next week before the Senate decides whether to kill the salary budgeted by President Nixon or to accept a compromise. The agreement sets no time for a final vote and, because of a threatened fil- Power Outages Make Furnace Fixers Busy People who got the day off because of the blizzard last week the only lucky ones. There are also the furnace repairers. After electric power goes out and comes back on again, some heating repair firm officials said, there are always calls from people whose furnaces take the jolt of the elec- tricty coming back on.

This storm was no exception there have been a few calls. When you get furnace trouble that seems to result from a power outage, the firms said, usually because your furnace component was probably about to go anyway. The electricity coming back on puts a strain on the component, but a perfectly healthy one can stand it. ibuster by Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, to prevent action blocking the pay boosts, a vote was scheduled for Wednesday on cutting off debate.

The first compromise to be voted on, proposed by Sen. Hiram Fong, R- Hawaii, would defer the start of the increases until Jan. 1, 1975, but would not reduce the over all amount. Next in line for a vote is a proposal of Sen. Gale McGee, for a 5.5 per cent increase this year.

Both of those votes are set for Monday, after which the Senate is to take up a resolution to kill the pay increases. This proposal is sponsored by Sens. Frank Church, Idaho, and Peter Dominick, but the agreement sets no time for voting on it. Under a 1967 law, the raises Nixon budgeted will go into effect automatically unless disapproved or modified by either the Senate or the House. The President scaled down slightly and spread over three years an immediate 25 per cent increase recommended by a special salary commission.

of Appleton and veteran Vernon Thomson of Richland Center. Thomson turned back a challenge from Democrat Walter Thoresen 112,90591,953 two years ago. Froehlich was squeaking into office past Democrat Robert Cornell by about 3,800 votes out of more than 198,000 cast. Democrats consider GOP Reps. William Steiger and Glenn Davis as more for midable than Thomson and Froehlich, although Davis may be weakening himself by his well-publicized bid to get a federal judgeship nomination from Nixon.

Although Democrats look toward the elections with unabashed confidence, Re publicans are not counting themselves out by any means. Friends of Thomson and Froehlich report both are spending much time in their districts, getting cam paign machinery ready for re-election bids. Republican State Sen. Robert Kasten of Brown Deer, weighing possible bids for governor or for the Davis congressional seat, said the GOP must not sell itself short. Kasten said it may be a generally difficult year for all incumbents, regardless of party.

He cited Gov. Patrick J. stepped-up public appearance pace as an example. Kasten and others have wondered aloud why the Democratic governor has kept results of a political poll confidential.
