THE POLITICAL MILL
A Nixon-RockefeIIer Ticket?
By GOULD LINCOLN

The visit of former Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey of New
York to Vice President
Richard M. Nixon last week
end set political tongues
wagging in a big way. 1t is
learned that the Dewey visit
to the Vice President was
initiated by the former New
York Governor. who played
such an important part in
the nomination of the Eli
senhower-Nixon ticket in
1852. This makes Mr. Dewey's
trip to Washington and the
many hours he spent with
the Vice President all the
more intriguing. Mr.. Dewey is
a friend Of both the Vice Pres
ident and Of Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller, the New Yorker
who is bent on wrestling from
Mr.. Nixon the 1860 Repub-
lican presidential nomina-
ton. There is reason to be-
lieve that Mr.. Dewey has in
the past been very friendly
to the Nixon candidacy. Ad-
mittedly. however, the victory
of Mr.. Rockefeller for Gov
ernor of New York over
Democratic Gov. Averell Har-
riman in 1858 raised a prob
lem. 1t became Immediately
evident that Mr.. Rockefeller
had been catapulted into the
position Of potential candi-
date for a presidential nomi-
nation. 1t did not take
either Gov. Rockefeller or
his supporters any time at
all to realize this fact.
Man Behind the Scenes
Just where Mr.. Dewey fits
into this picture is a matter
of keenest interest to the
Republican politicians. AS a
New Yorker. as a man who
has had widespread influence
in the Republican Party, and
still has, and as a friend of
both the aspirants for top
honorS next year, Mr.. Dewey
may yet play a part of great
importance in the makeup
of the G. o. P. national ticket
next year. For Mr.. Dewey,
a Nixon-Rockefeller ticket
could be a pleasant solution
Of the problem-aS it would
be for a multitude of Re-
publicans. But until Mr..
Rockefeller is convinced,
either in the next few weeks,
or in the presidential pri-
maries, or in the national
convention next July that he
cannot win the presidential
nomination over Mr.. Nixon,
it is idle to believe that Mr.,
Rockefeller would say he
would be willing to accept a
vice presidential nomination,
Indeed, he has said repeat
edly he was not interested in
taking second place on the
party ticket. On Sunday he
said, too, he would be de-
lighted to have Mr.. Nixon as
a vice presidential candidate
if he himself headed the
ticket. Vice President Nixon,
having served eight years as
Vice President, Is distinctly
against running for Vice
President again-and posi-
bly, serving eight more years
in that office. It would be
unreasonable to expect him
to do so. Particularly as he
has proved again and again
his ability, his efficiency as
a public officer and his
knowledge of governmental,
affairs at the top level.
Mr.. Dewey. if the chips fall
in favor of Mr.. Nixon's nom-
ination for President, con-
Evening star., 1959-12-22

ceivably might prevail upon
Gov. Rockefeller to ac-
cept a vice presidential NOM
ination. Certainly, this is an
end which many Republican
leaders would strive for.
Other New York Governors
have accepted such a nomi-
nation - among them Theo-
dore Roosevelt and Franklin
D. Roosevelt, both Of whom
later became President. The
first Roosevelt, it is true.
came to the presidency after
the assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley. It is ex-
tremely doubtful, however,
that 1t would have been pos
sible to deny Teddy" Roose-
welt a presidential nomina-
ton If President Mckinley
had lived out his second term
in the White House. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, then Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy,
ran with Gov. Cox of Ohio on
the Democratic ticket in 1920
and was roundly defeated.
Twelve years later he was
nominated and elected Pres
ident. If Mr.. Rockefeller
should run for Vice President
on a ticket with Mr.. Nixon,
and the ticket should lose
next year. Mr.. Rockefeller
would still remain Governor
of New York, in a position to
seek reelection successfully
and then to run for Presi-
dent in 1864. If a Nixon
Rockefeller ticket should win,
Gov. Rockefeller is by no
means too old-he will be
SO when the Republican con-
vention meets next July to
become a presidential candi-
date later on.
Nixon in the Lead
AS of today. the problem Of
Gov. Rockefeller is to win
enough Republican votes in
the coming primaries and
in the national convention to
land a presidential nomina-
ton. The Vice President, who
has strong support Of Repub-
licans in many parts of the
country and is presently re-
garded as having a long lead
for the presidential nomina-
ton over Mr.. Rockefeller, has
a different problem. If he is
nominated for President, Mr..
Nixon will have to win
enough Democratic and inde-
pendent voters to his side to
carry the general election in
November.
Admittedly, a great deal
will depend, in a Nixon race
for the presidency in the
general election, on the
nominee selected by the
Democrats in their national
convention. Also, the eco
nomic condition of the coun-
try next fall. Peace and pros
perity are a sine qua non for
a Republican victory. Presi-
dent Eisenhower is striving
nightly for the first, and the
economy Of the Nation ap-
pears to be on the up and up,
despite the setbacks it has
had due to the Nationwide
steel strike.
A Rockefeller decision not
to make the race for the
presidential ominatio o n
would be a surprise-though
it could happen. But until he
takes himself out of the race,
or is knocked out. the posi-
bility Of a Nixon Rockefeller
ticket will remain up in the
air.

Plant Sales
Gain 2 Pct.
During June
By the Associated Press

Manufacturers sales in
creased about Q per cent in
June, the Commerce Depart
ment reported yesterday. The
volume of incoming new orders
rose by the same percentage.
However, the department
said that factory backlogs of
untitled orders were reduced
over the month.
Total sales of manufacturers
were estimated at $32 billion in
June, or Sc billion more than
in the same month last year.
After allowing for seasonal
differences, June shipments
were nearly 2 per cent higher
than May.
The book value of manu-
facturerS' inventories rose by
$500 million in June, the de-
partment said. The increase
was about equal to the rate of
inventory accumulation in each
of the preceding four months.
The department said that in
spite of the slight reduction
in the backlog of untitled or
ders due to record rates of
shipments, the total of untitled
orders at the end of June was
$3.5 billion above the total a
year ago.

over grades that oxen could
pull loads; they could never be
too far from water. While it
might be possible to carry some
water, there had to be water
stations along the routes.
There were three general
routes: one to the Northwest;
one through passes in the
Sierras to Northern California,
and others across the plains,
skirting mountains and across
the Mojave Desert to Califor-
mia.
Highways Used Old Routes
Cities sprang up at the ter
minals; cities at the starting
points grew. So when the auto
mobile came, it was natural
that highways roughly ran
along the old routes. They con-
nected population centers, and
they connected them by routes
that were roughly surveyed and
which had negotiable grades.
When planes came, neither
water nor grades were import
ant, but demand for travel
rose in the cities connected by
the old wagon routes.
Today the airlines maps of
the United States are not
much unlike the old road maps,
Strengthened for shorter air
distance. of course.
In the old days, no one
wanted to go by covered wagon
from Florida to California.
Some went by auto, but there
was no heavy flow of traffic.
Today, therefore, there is no
major air service between the
two orange-growing, tourist
Turing, self-boosting States. To
get from one to another there
is much changing of planes
and airlines, and the route is
somewhat wiggley.
Direct Service Needed
However. the Civil Aeronau-
tics Board has stepped into the
situation. It's studies indicate
a need for a direct service be-
tween the rival States, with
good intermediate service for
cities along the main route.
and a good system of feeder
lines.
Most of the major airlines
reaching into that part of the
country have applied for such
routes. The CAB has held
hearings in Houston, Los An
geles, Miami and Washington.
The hearing examiner will
soon make recommendations;
the lines will be given time to
file briefs and prepare oral
arguments. After those, the
CAB will award the route, and
service is expected to be in
operation by early next year.
1t is expected that the CAB
will award the main route,
probably from Miami to Los
Angeles. to one airline, which
will provide nonstop flights and
flights with stops at New Or
leans. Houston and at the Dali
laS-Fort Worth Center.
In addition, perhaps later.
the CAB will award routes for
feeder services that will bring
and take passengers from other
Southern cities to the NAN
line.

DIAL PHONES FOR
HATTERAS ISLAND
IN TWO MONTHS
Installation Of Exchange for Avon.
Buxton. Hatteras Under
way

Dial telephone service is ex-
pected to be completed for the vii
lagos of Buxton, Avon, and Hat
teras within two months, and all
calls by subscribers between viii
lagos will be made without toll
charge, w. w. Chase, General
Manager of the Norfolk and Caro-
lima Telephone and Telegraph Co.
said this week.
Completion of the installation of
some $50 phones in this area ex-
lending Is miles on the lower end
of Hatteras Island is anticipated
with much eagerness by business
men who expect it to provide one
of the islands greatest commercial
shots in the arm.
Two long distance lines TO Mar
teo, and two to Elizabeth City will
be provided, Mr.. Chase said.
The mechanism for the system
will be housed in a brick building
built two years ago at Buxton.
The system will be amplified and
expanded as the traffic develops.
The company operates ex-
changes at Manteo, Coinjock, Kill
Devil Hills, Moycck, Great Bridge,
Elizabeth City, Sunbury, HEREFORD,
Edenton, etc. When the service
was established on Roanoke Island
and the Dare Beaches some rs
years ago, it proved to be tre-
mendous factor in developing these
resort areas. Four years ago, dial
service was established on the
beaches, with an exchange at Kill
Devil Hills. The Manteo exchange
is manuaAy operated. There win
be no operators at Buxton.
