Nelson Rockefeller has
made his predicted entry
upon the elective political
stage in the first State of the
Union. He will run for the
Republican nomination for
Governor of New York, a
move as potentially signifl-
cant politically as it is per-
sonally interesting.
Here is not merely another
hopeful amateur. When the
Rockefellers want something
they plan. press and push in
intelligent, far-sighted and
comprehensive ways.
{ This characteristic was
noted years ago by the news
paper genius. the late Joseph
Medill Patterson, on a saun-
ter through the rising COM
.plex Of Rockefeller Center in
the heart Of midtown Man
haitian. Mr.. Patterson re-
marked upon the movie pal
ace, beautiful night club and
other activities combined
with the. excellent ONCE
buildings and said:

Entry of Alaska Viewed as Shifting
BoI0nce of Political Influence


A great, fresh wind of his
tory is blowing in from the
Pacific Northwest.
Alaska's admission to the
Union has brought a clean
sense Of drama to this tired
and jaded Capital. Before the
eyes Of a new generation the
country is again marching
westward.
Moreover. by act Of Con-
gress, the boastfulness attrib-
uted to Texas and Califor-
nia can never be quite what
it was. Texas is no longer the
biggest. Alaska's area is twice
as great. California's Mount
Whitney is dwarfed by Alas
ka's Mount Mckinley.
In the longer and deeper
sense, Alaska's entry as q
State will have profound eff
fects on the public life Of this
country. 1t will mean q fun
damental alteration of the
balance Of political power on
legislative matters.
{ AlaSka'S success signals,
Immediately or distantly,
these things:

cratic Senate seats after the
November election. 1The as
sumption is general here that
Alaska will go Democratic at

coming.
The founder of the family
fortunes, old John D., prob
ably would not give one of
his famous thin dimes for the
lot of them but he would
sense the value of the press
they get and their influence
upon the thinking Of govern
ment policy-makerS.
At least two other major
assets attach to the Rockefel-
Ter bid at this particular
point.
His party never needed
fresh faces and ideas more.
1t is trapped today in q
search for an identity suited
to an America changing from
small towns, widespread
farms and the pioneer West
to an urhanized country
whose changing social pat
terms still baffle and bewilder
many of its citizens.
The huge and costly tasks
of the cities which are to-
days frontiers Of democracy
are an old story to the
RockefellerS. Billions of dol
lars for defense do not fright

Ballonists Survive 2OOO-Ft. Bounce
 After Record Flight

MINNEAPOLIS, R - Space explorers Malcolm Ross and M. Lee Lewis survived a 2,000-foot bounce when they came back to earth yesterday from a record breaking balloon flight. T h e 3413 hour trip was mans longest flight into the stratosphere.
 The balloonists reached 82,0O0 feet, the flights maximum al titude.
 The happy -go-lucky fliers had their toughest decesion after a release mechanism failed to detach the massive balloon from the gondola as they attempted to land.
 The History high gas bag banged the round aluminium capsule onto an East Central North Dakota pasture, then car ried Ross and Lewis aloft again when a firing device failed to release the gOndOla.
 Ross, a Navy commander, suf- fered slight cut about his left eye, but he and Lewis began figuring out how to get on the ground and stay there.
 'Parachuting out of the gon- dola was one of the alternatives we discussed," Ross said.
 ''But we're balloon men, not parachute men," he said. They tried the descent again and this time were able to release. The balloon, and the gondola was dragged about six feet over the hilly pasture then tipped over on it's side.
 Lewis, bushy haired ex-Navy balloonist asked the gathering crowd as he peered out of the gondola:
 "Where's that beer asked for?"

MOSCOW, R - Soviet Pre- mier Khrushchev accused Presi- dent Eisenhower today of trying to scuttle an East-West summit conference proposed for New York. He offered as an alter native to convene the talks in Moscow or any other place in Europe suitable to the four other powers.
 By the four other powers he meant the United States, Britain, France and India.
 He said the Soviet govern ment would guarantee the safety and security of the participants if they met in Moscow.
 He was making this offer, he said, because American diplo- mats and the American press had expressed concern about the diff ficulty of guaranteeing security of the participants if the meeting were held in New York.
 Khrushchev's proposal an d shortly worded charges were contained in letters addressed to Eisenhower, de Gaulle and Brit ish Prime Minister MacMillan.
