ROCKEFELLER TEXT

Following is the tert of the statement in Which Co..
Nelson Rockefeller OF NeU York announced yesterday
that he not candidate for the Republican preSi
Dental nomination:
candidacy for the Republican nomination for the pres-
dency have done after long and serious reflection.
And my decision has been dictated by clear and sharp
convictions.
These convictions bear upon the two political roles
that prescribe my responsibilities The first of these the
that of Governor of New York State This Office and
an honor plainly commanding my full respect and utterly
deserving Of my faithful service.
The second role that must serve is that of any
American namely: responsible citizenship the national
And this responsibility particularly keen
and explicit form when Nation confronts issues and
challenges Of truly historic size and seriousness.
If not profoundly concerned with these issues,
would have to be in public life in any capacity
have had to weigh, however and to decide how best
to express this This question has largely in
spired the several trips have recently made through
the country For only by meeting and talking with many
citizens of many States could form reasoned conclusion
to how may best both the State of New York
and the Nation.
These trips have made it clear to me, as believe
they have to Others that the great majority of those who
will control the Republican convention stand opposed to
any contest for the nomination Therefore any quest Of
the nomination of my part would entail massive struggle
in primary elections throughout the misunderstanding
greatly of my time and energy that it would make i'm
possible the fulfment of my obligations Governor Of
New York.
My conclusion, therefore, is that am not and shah
not be, candidate for nomination for the presidency
This decision is definite and final.
BY this decision, and my intended of action,
deeply believe that best the needs of both
party and country
AS to my party: am a Republican-seriously con-
cerned about the future vgor and purpose of party
I believe that live in age that challenges repre-
sentative and the twopary system that is
its American expression. In such neither of our
great parties hope to meet the issues and opporun
tiles of the future merely with the devices and
of the past The vaity-the Of realism and the
of great institution the Repub
can Party is therefore quite truly matter of national
interest and national need To the nvigoratng of this
partys spirit and to the clarifying Of its purposes and
policies all of who Republicans should devote our
thoughts and energies In this spirit expect to support
the nominees the program of the party in 1850
AS to our country: The national and world issues

and hope both danger and opportunity We all know the
range of these issues World policies military deenses

This will be the trend In the
Federal Government. Mr..
Clague said. The indications
are for continued heavy govern
ment employment - Federal,
State and local.
Between 1860 and 1870, the
total labor force will expand by
about 1875 million mostly be-
cause Of population growth.
Men under IS years Of age
presently make UP the great
bulk Of the force and I'VE can
expect very little change in the
proportion" the outlook pre-
dicted.
For the adult women the
story Is different" 1t continued
The number Of women in the
labor force has increased from
one in five in 1910 to one in
three in 1859 because Of the
shift to the cities and the in
creased Importance in clerical
work, selling and teaching.
"At the same time, the intro
duction Of labor-saving devices
made it possible for growing
numbers of women to accept
jobs outside the home" the
report said.
The proportion Of young en-
ployed people has been drop

Mr.. Pinkston, who was driv-

out another shot was fired. Mr..
Pinkston, who believed the
shots were coming from his
side Of the car, scampered back
through the car and crouched
on the other side with Pfc.
Tolbert.
Both crouched on the ground
outside the car. They then de-
cided someone definitely was
shooting at them. They jumped
back in the car and drove
away. AS they drove off, an
other shot hit the left, rear
side OF the car.
Wounded Twice
Mr.. Pinkston complained of
a pain in his back. He went to
Dewitt Army Hospital on post,
where two wounds were found
in his back. both at shoulder
level.
An Army spokesman said
probes would be made tomor-
row to find out whether the
wounds were made by bullets
or by fragments of the car.
Mr.. Pinkston was reported in
satisfactory condition.
Military investigators said
persons living in the area say
they heard four shots, although
five elected cartridges were
found. The investigators the
orized the fifth shot might have
been muffled somehow.
Mr.. Pinkston'S car is being
checked for slugs, the spokes-
man said.

Gov. Nelson Rockefeller's de-
cision against seeking the
G. o. P. presidential nomina-
ton staggered his supporters
here and brought a wide vari-
ETY. Of reactions from other
area politicians.
IT am shocked" said Leo
Howard Kerns, chairman Of
the District Rockefeller Com
mittee. This takes us out Of
the ball park. Well, that's base
ball. I guess I'm no seer"
The District committee had
Just rented a building at 92l
Seventeenth stree: NV. as its
headquarters. Mr.. Kerns had
presided Thursday when a huge
Rockefeller-for- President sign
was raised on the front Of this
building.
The Sign Comes Down
Asked what the committee
would do now, Mr.. Kerns re-
piled:
II guess we'll Just have to
take the sign down."
He added that while a four
month lease for the headquar-
ters building had been signed,
it was not effective until Janu-
ary /. He explained that the
owner had permitted the COM
mittee to use the building a
few days before the lease
started.
I'VE expect to get out of the
lease without any trouble" Mr..
Kerns said.
On whether he would now
support Vice President Nixon
for the nomination, Mr.. Kerns
cautiously asked:
Has he announced yet?"
Nixon a Tremendous Guy"
He said that Mr.. Nixon is
"a tremendous guy and if he
is the only candidate for the
Republican nomination, I'll
back him"
Harold Smith, chairman of
the Maryland Rockefeller for
President Committee, declared:
I'm shocked. chagrined and
disappointed. I don't think Gov.
Rockefeller is doing the right
thing. He has underestimate
his chances. I believe he has
been over-inf1uenced by the

Democratic Unit
Says U. S. Should
Include Red China

A Democratic advisory group
yesterday recommended that
the United States undertake
negotiations with other coun-
tries, including Red China, for
international agreements that
would lessen the chances Of
nuclear war.
A major national goal. the
policy statement said, should
be international disarmament,
preferably down to police levels,
but at least to levels which
would make a sudden devastat-
ing attack impossible"
The statement was issued BY
the Democratic Advisory Coun-
ellis 16-member advisory COM
mittee on science and tech
nology headed by DR.. Ernest C.
Pollard. Yale University bio
physicist.
Approved by Council
It had the approval Of the
council. an adjunct Of the Dem
ocratic committee whose mem
bers include former President
Truman and Adlai Stevenson.
In offering a three-point ap-
proach toward total disarma-
ment, the committee said an
"all-out nuclear war seems not
only possible but probable as
long as we pursue our present
military policies, and added:
THE triggering Of q nuclear
war by mistake, by misadven-
ture or by miscalculation is q
constant danger"
1t said 1t was essential to
include in negotiations "a large
and potentially powerful nation
as Red China" for any agree
ments that might be reached to
be effective.
No Diplomatic Relations
The statement noted that the
United States does not have
diplomatic relations with Com
munist China but did not sug-
gest how the negotiations
should be brought out.
| A committee spokesman said
that the statement was offered
only as one of broad policy.
1t would be up to the State
Department, it was indicated,
to work out the arrangements
for such negotiations.
The statement said steps to-
ward world disarmament
should be taken by seeking
agreements in these three
fields:
Abolishing or limiting the
testing Of nuclear weapons,
abolishing the testing of bal
listic missiles Of both inter-
mediate and intercontinental

The Rockefeller announce

What every man needs is
q place to call his own. II
you don't believe 1t, ask him.
Nom has her kitchen.
Junior his playpen. big Sis
the family room. All that's
left for Dad Is his very own
arm chair, maybe. What he
needs Is q place to stretch
his legs-a thicket, o bog, q
field, to help him unravel
his nerves.
II men are dying on the

are told by the keepers Of
certain statistics. But how
can modern man relax In o
modern home that Is set up
like department store win
dows with q fragility that Is
frightening to behold?
Times Have chonsed
Primitive man was boss in
the cave. but women have
been softening him up ever
since. He now conforms to
the "hang-up-your clothes.
watch your muddy feet.
don't put your = head =
on-the-sofa- pillows routine"
If he goes into the bedroom
to nap after a hard day on
the job, the entire family is
on his neck to see what ails
him, and Nom is there to
observe that his shoes aren't
on the bedspread.
If the small fry can have
play houses in the back yard,
why can't Dad have one? It
could be a tool shed, a work
hut or just a shanty. A cabin
of split cedar logs wouldn't
cost much. One about 10 feet
by 6 feet with 7-foot head
room in the center will give
him plenty Of space for
breathing.
What would the Man Hut
offer that home doesn't?
1t could be q place where
he could keep old fishing hats,
boots, waders. sports equip
ment, and old clothes, where
he could sweep the dirt out
the front door when 1t got
so thick he couldn't bear
1t, where he could have his
very own radio or TV set with
the programs he'd enjoy and
at the right pitch for his ear
drums. He could stretch his
legs. He might hang up that
fish picture that was barred
from the living room or the
mounted moose head that's
been stuffed in the attic for
20 years. He could let the
newspapers and magazines
stack up.
A man who lives in an
apartment is in worse straits
than a man who lives in q
house. He is really a Gagged
animal. Men we're not des-
tined to be that tame, so
anything you can do to get
them out Of the rut may keep
them around longer.
Get Him q Lot
Instead Of buying him an
expensive present on that
next big occasion, get him an
acre or a lot and a shanty.
If there's a little stream close
at hand, so much the better.
It could be q place that he
will visit from time to time,
particularly when he wants to
get away from it all.
This is a place to rough it

where cobwebs in the brain
can be shaken out with no

home is different from wom-

can enjoy being very lazy will
get him to enjoy his work,
and induce him to tire his
muscles with some good
healthful exercise.
