The lure of the window


1t is felt most strongly in
ships, in prisons. and in these
modern Office buildings with
but few windows.
No matter how wonderful
the building, from a scien-
tific standpoint, there is
something lacking, and it is
the window.
People will come from all
over the building to just
stand and look out of the
banks of windows. Even the
most modern structures have
a few windowSD
Workers at distant points
leave their desks, for one
given reason or another, and
come just to stand and to
look. It's a regular circus.
This standing and looking
comprises the real reason why
they leave their desks.
Templeton Jones knows,
because he fortunately sits
near the window.
All day long, a stream Of
humanity, in one or twos or
threes, comes there to stand
and just look.
1t is rather pathetic, in
way, that they must come and
just stand and look out at
the green grass, the blue of
heaven. and the white clouds.
These things used to be
taken for granted.
Everybody had them, ex-
cept a few sweatShop workers.
Now the most enterprlSlng
and capable workers may not
have them at all. 1t is called
progress.

They come to the window
one by one, or by twoS, or
maybe by threes, seldom
more.
They come because they
have a vague longing.
They come because their
footsteps go windowward,
They must look out. Human
nature demands the right to
look out.
The human spirit wants to
see, no matter how much the
body is pinned down.
Oh, there is always an eX-
cuse. Humanity seldom comes
right out and admits any
thing. even the littlest.
They come to the window
to see Mamie, maybe-she OF
the white arms and bright
eyes. That is what they think,
perhaps, but actually it is
not Mamie. but the view out
the window.
They come from the place
without windows, and they
grow restless there, and have
to think up some excuse to
get away, even if only for a
few moments.

The decision Of Gov. Nelson
A. Rockefeller of New York,
potential candidate for the
Republican presidential nom
ination, to move about the
country and show himself to
the people was inevitable.
And certainly not too soon.
To the voters Of the West,
the Middle West, New Eng
land and other parts Of the
country, and to most Of the
party leaders, the New York
Governor has been but a
name-though a well-publi-
cized one. A candidate for
the presidency, If he is to be
successful, must take on flesh
and blood. AS vital a person.
atty as Gov. Rockefeller can
help himself enormously by
personal appearances and
face-to-face conferences with
party leaders.
So yesterday, having aban-
doned his policy of sticking
close to New York now that
he has a firm grip on the
administration of the States
affairs, Gov. Rockefeller
started off on his first impor-
tant trip to feel out political
sentiment. His first stop was
nearby Atlantic City and his
second Chicago.
Early in November the
Governor will visit California
and Oregon, both of which
hold important presidential
preference primaries next
year In California, the home
State of Vice President Nixon,
who is rated today by all the
polls as front-runner for the
G. o. P. presidential nominal
ton and far ahead of Gov.
Rockefeller, the Governor will
speak in Los Angeles and San
Francisco and confer with
party leaders. He will attempt
to learn how strongly Vice
President Nixon stands with
the voters, and how sure may
be Mr.. Nixon's ability to
carry that State against a
Democratic nominee in next
years general election. In
deed, one of the determining
factors in the Governors de-
ciSion whether to run for the
presidential nomination may
lie in his belief that Mr..
Nixon can win or not win ma
tionally in November, 1860.
Regarded as Candidate
Gov. Rockefeller, in an
nouncing his plan to visit the
West, insisted again he has
not yet come to a decision
about running for President;
that he is making the trip
not as a candidate. He will,
however, inevitably be re-
garded as a candidate. Only
a fiat assertion by the Gov
ernor that he has decided f.
nally not to make the race
next year will change this
view.
Admittedly. a tremendous
amount of work lies ahead for
the Governor and his sup
porters if he is to make a
successful or even a hard
fight for the nomination. AS
Of today, there is little EVIL
of any Rockefeller-for -Presi-

"one Of the major problems
Gin present day politics." the
report said, stems from the
lack Of party responsibility that
is the principal characteristic
Of our political parties.
Party labels tell nothing Of
the candidates philosophy OF

party platforms are a poor

For too many years the
words a politicians promise
have been synonymous with de-

can make and which we seek
constantly to make. is the de-
velopment Of a sufficiently
large and informed body Of
