Edmund Muskie has snapped back from his early autumn slump at the polls and has regained his position as the front runner among potential Democratic candidates for president in 1972. Among Democratic and Independent voters, the Maine senator now edges out Sen.
Edward Kennedy as the first choice of rank-and-file voters who might cast their ballots in next year's primaries. When Muskie slipped in the polls during the summer and fall, there was serious question over his ability to recapture the position he had maintained almost two years. In this most recent test, has widened his slight September lead over Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, when Kennedy is removed from the running. Sen.
Henry Jackson, a recently declared candidate, polled 4 per cent, double his previous figure but far behind the leaders. Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty received one per cent. Senator George McGovern, the longest declared candidate, has moved up two points, but still wins no more than 6 cent of the preferences. Mayor John Lindsay, who has been out campaigning actively although he has yet to declare himself, achieved no more than a one point rise in his standing following his extensive travels. The basic findings of the survey indicate what has been the case over the past two years: if there were a national primary for the Democratic nomination, Muskie and Kennedy would run neck and neck.
If Kennedy were not to enter such a primary, as he has repeatedly stated, then it would come down to a twoway race between Muskie and Humphrey, with the Maine senator the favorite to win. This latest Harris Survey is significant because it was taken among a larger than usual nationwide sample of 1,439 Democratic and 654 likely Independent voters between Oct. 28 and Nov. 12. Except for those under 23 years of age, all voters in the sample had to be registered and to have actually voted in at least one previous election.
In the past, such a qualification screen has proven an accurate estimate of the electorate. Young people who have not had a chance to vote in previous elections have been represented proportionately in the sample. The 2,093 voter cross section was asked: "Which one of the following would be your first choice for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1972?" Total Dems. Inds. Muskie Nov.

21 19 25 Although Muskie is easily the strongest Democrat among Independent voters, 1 he is given a close race by Humphrey among rank-andfile Democrats. McGovern and Jackson are stronger outside their party than among regular Democrats. Of course, these results could be read that Muskie, while the front runner, is not runaway first choice. However, given the temporary slippage shown in his support back in September, his current comeback must be viewed as a demonstration that the Maine senator will not yield his front-runner status easily.

When the Kennedy vote was then apportioned to Price of Newsprint Continues to Go Up NEW YORK (AP) The prices American newspapers pay for their newsprint continued to go up the past week, with two more Canadian paper companies announcing plans for increases Friday.
Domtar Pulp Paper the New York- based subsidiary of Domtar Ltd. of Montreal and Abitibi Paper Co. of Toronto, said Friday they planned to boost their newsprint prices effective Dec. 15 and Dec. 13, respectively.
New prices announced by the two firms conform to the general pattern of increases announced earlier by other producers, $8 a ton more for customers in Northern states and $5.25 more a ton for Southern state customers. An $8 boost brings the newsprint price to $168 a ton, a $5.25 increase to $163.25 a ton. The Price Commission last week approved a 3.4 per cent or $5.25 a ton increase for International Co. newsprint, which the American company put into effect Dec. 4.
Canadian producers, including, International's Canadian subsidiary, International Paper Sales have announced price hikes of $8 a ton. The Canadians have boosted prices in the South $5.25 a ton to remain competitive with American ducers. Newsprint producers, citing rising costs, last summer had announced plans for an $8- per-ton boost in both North and South. But the hikes were to be effective Nov. 1 and were delayed by the 90-day U.
S. wage-price freeze. "The problem is," a spokesman for one U.S. newsprint manufacturer said, "that for U.S. companies there can be no industry price increase, really.
company will have to go to the Price Commission and ask for its increase separately. Canadian companies are restricted largely, by petitive considerations, easing as the Price Commission takes up American requests for price Other increasedian companies which have raised newsprint prices include Consolidated Bathurst Newsprint effective Dec. 6, and MacMillan Rothsay effective Dec. 7. Yugoslav Official Resigns BELGRADE (UPI) recent strike by 30,000 Croa- Srecko Bijelic, a top Croatian Communist accused to stepping out of the party line, resigned.
Communist sources said other leading figures will lose their jobs Sunday at a Croatian Central Committee meeting. Yugoslavia's President Tito has charged the Communist leadership of Croatia with contributing to a "crisis of ideas" in the country by tolerating nationalism. National feelings In Croatia, one of the wealthiest of Yugoslavia's provinces, run high and there are demands for more autonomy from the central government in Belgrade the aim of Egyptian Plot Brings Life Term CAIRO (AP) Egypt announced last week that Aly Sabry, the former vice president known as Moscow's best friend in Cairo, has been given life in prison at hard labor for plotting to overthrow President Anwar Sadat. A revolutionary court convicted Sabry, former Interior Minister Sharawi Gomma and former Presidential Affairs Minister Sami Sharaf and sentenced all three to death by hanging. But Sadat commuted their sentences.
After two-month secret trials the tribunal also convicted three other Cabinet ministers and four high officials of the Arab Socialist Union, Egypt's only political party. They received sentences ranging from 15 years in prison to one-year suspended terms. Lt. Gen. Mohamed Fawzl, the former war minister, was sentenced by a separate military court to life at hard labor.
But Sadat reduced his term to 15 years, the court announced. Sabry was named by the prosecution as the mastermind behind the plot to topple Sadat. The government charged that Sabry mounted the conspiracy last May after Sadat's federation agreement with Syria and Libya. Sabry was known to oppose the federation and he was said to be angered that Sadat went ahead with the project without a joint decision by the whole government. The prosecution charged that six key ministers, including Fawzi and Gomma, broadcast their resignations before submitting them to Sadat to create the impression that still-young regime was crumbling.
