This is the cost estimated for primaries, according to Town Clerk Edward J. Tomkiel, for which there will be no need this election year. The deadline for filing of an unendorsed slate of Democratic candidates was Wednesday at 4 p.m. Earlier this week, the dead line for filing of unendorsed GOP candidates passed without one being filed. At recent meetings, both the Democratic and Republican Town Committees, endorsed full slate of candidates for town office to be elected at the Octo ber town election.

As the result of the elimina tion of a primary fight, the lo cal political campaign is ex pected to be on the quiet side here in coming weeks with the only issues involved to be raised by the political groups them selves in party platforms. At any rate, Town Clerk Tom kiel won have to worry aoout being re-elected. He is a mem ber of the Democratic Pary, which is in control here for only the second time in the town's history and he has in effect, been endorsed by the Re publicans. The GOP Town Com mittee is not running a candi date against him, thus assuring Tomkiel of re-election to the post he has held for several years.

Magic Pigment Helps Plants To Blossom WASHINGTON Government scientists have succeeded in snaring a migical pigment that tells plants when to bloom.

The pigment is blue and is called phytochrome, meaning simply "plant color." An enzyme, or catalyst, it is na tures means of making sure that -a petunia or chrysanthe mum or a stalk of, corn opens its flowers at the correct time and not before, the National Geographic Society says. Chemical isolation of substance at the Agriculture Department's Plant Industries Station at Maryland, marks a major breakthrough in modern plant research. It is expected to eliminate much trial- and-error from plant breeding. The scientific team at Belts ville includes Drs. H.

A. Borth-wick, Sterling B. Hendricks, W. H. Siegelman, and Warren Butler.

They discovered phytochrome in iwz, and since men nave studied its reactions to dark ness and lieht. But it was not until March, 1964, when a small amount of pigment was extract ed from young oat sprouts and put into a test tube for use a a vital new research tool. For Beltsville's dedicated plant physiologists and chemists, the occasion could be likened to the time when Pierre and Marie Curie managed to separate one gram of radium from eight tons of picthblende.

Platinum's strength and ductility make it ideal for securing jewels in tiny settings. The metal is equally useful for hold ing the synthetic sapphires shielding Telstar's solar cells, the National Geographic Society says. The history of platinum has been marked by violent ups and downs. Prices have ranged from 34 cents to $180 an ounce.

Once scorned as "unripe gold," platinum, now is in great demand by science and industry as well as jewelers. Refiners recently raised the selling price, and the outlook is for further increases. Was Nuisance Spanish Conquistadors found platinum in gold mines and stream beds after they conquered South America in the 16th century. First they con sidered it a nuisance, then naively threw it into rivers to ripen into gold. The Spaniards called the white metal "little silver," or platina, the name used by present-day chemists to designate the crude ore.

Some adventurers were not above gilding platinum and passing it off as gold. They were hanged for their pains. Ironically, platinum today costs more than twice as much as gold. Taken to Europe, platinum became a curiosity in laboratories. Giovanni Jacopo Casa nova, of all people, describes platina in his Memoirs.

It dis tracted his attention briefly while visiting the laboratory of an alchemist (female who was trying to transmute it into gold. Platinum originally was mined only in Colombia and Brazil. In 1819 such large de posits were found in the Ural Mountains that Russia issued platinum coins for a few years. Today, Canada, the Soviet Union, and South Africa pro duce most of the million or so ounces mined annually. Early in the 19th century, it was discovered that platina ac tually was a combination of metals, largely platinum, but with small amounts of other elements having similar prop- erties.

I By JACK ZAIMAN Mrs.

Clare Boothe Luce, formerly of Ridgefield and now a voter in New York, may run for the U.S. Senate on the Conservative Party ticket in New York State. She has been asked to make the run by the Conservative Party and is considering it, said J. Daniel Mahoney, the party's national chairman. If Mrs.

Luce ran, she would oppose Sen. Kenneth Keating, incumbent liberal Republican who has announced he is not supporting Sen. Barry Goldwater for president. New York Democrats have not yet nominated a Senate candidate. Mrs.

Luce sought the GOP Senate nomination in Connecticut in 1952, but lost it to former Sen. Prescott Bush. Recently she announced she will support Sen. Thomas J. Dodd, Democratic incumbent, over former Gov.

John Lodge, the GOP Senate nominee here. Mrs. Luce issued a statement saying she believes the "New York electorate is entitled to a Senate candidate unequivocally committed to the support" of the GOP national ticket. Mrs. Luce is supporting Goldwater and made a seconding for him at the national convention.

Democratic state headquarters sent a letter Wednesday to all party town chairmen in the state, advising them not to nominate candidates for the General Assembly at their caucuses, conventions and town committee meetings to be held between Aug. 6 and 20.
