Grand Old Tattered Party Sir: In '68, Scranton, Romney, Murphy, Knowles. Please, let's have a chance-to hell with the choice...
...PENNSYLVANIA. Though the senate remains Republican, G.O.P. Governor William Scranton will have to deal with a newly Democratic house (by a margin of 115 to 92). Labor, which played a major role in the Democratic house takeover, has already demanded an investigation of the state's department of labor and industry, where Scranton eased a number of A.F.L.-C.I.O. officials from high-paying jobs...

Cumberland, Md.'s Potomac Valley TV Co. provides five Washington channels for its 18,000 subscribers, and Panther Valley TV in Lansford, Pa., a 1950 industry pioneer, picks up New York and Philadelphia as well as Scranton; TelePrompTer plans a Farmington, N.

The Goldwater candidacy, he insists, "is incompatible with basic American principles," and he has given the national ticket a totally cold shoulder. While he will not hazard a prediction of the outcome of the Presidential election, he insists that "if Goldwater and Miller are defeated overwhelmingly, it is unquestionable that the liberals and moderates must assume party leadership...
