as regards the statement that Peter

National Committeeman, offered to
withdraw his name, should IL not be
acceptable, the natural inference be-
ing that he was in a receptive mood.
The fact is that when Mr.. Ford was
urged for the position by number

he promptly declined IL. Furthermore
il was the opinion OF many of those
