THE POLITICAL MILL
Pressure on Rockefeller to Run
By GOULD LINCOLN

Keeping q Rockefeller-for-
President boom under wraps
is becoming increasingly diff
ficult. Indeed, the boom is
erupting, with Representative
Stuyvesant Wainwright Of
New York and q so-far un-
named group Of pro-Rocke-
feller members Of the House
taking the lead. Mr.. VAIN
wright's declaration that this
group intends TO enter Gov.
Rockefeller's name In the
New Hampshire presidential
preference primary March 8.
1860, is the first fiat state
ment from high-ranking Re-
publicans regarding plans to
launch a presidential boom
for the New York Governor.
Mr.. Wainwright frankly
admits that Mr.. Rockefeller
may disavow the proposal to
place his name in the New
Hampshire primary--indeed,
the Governor has done so.
But II. after the first Of the
year, Mr.. Wainwright and his
colleagues In the drive go
ahead and place the Rookie
feller name In the primary,
1t viii stay there unless the
Governor within 10 days has
1t withdrawn. BY that time,
Mr.. Wainwright believes, the
move for q Rockefeller pres
idential nomination will have
gained real momentum--and
the Governor, himself, may
have changed his mind and
be willing to leave his name
on the primary ballot.
The New Hampshire pri-
mary has become in recent
years a testing ground for
presidential booms. In the
first place, 1t is the earliest
presidential preference pri-
mary, which gives 1t a psy-
Geological value-like landing
the first blow in q prize fight.
When the supporters of Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower In
early 1852 determined to
enter the generals name in
the New Hampshire free-for-
all. they were taking a
chance. Senator Robert A.
Taft, already an active can
didate for the Republican
presidential nomination, was
going In, and also Harold E.
Stassen. Gen. Eisenhower,
still in Europe, allowed his
name to stay In the race.
Although he was abroad and
did not campaign in New
Hampshire at all, the general
came out on top Of the po-
litical heap. It gave his can
didacy a real boost, and he
went on to win.
Kefauver Won There
Also in that 1862 New
Hamphire primary Senator
Estes Kefauver of Tennessee
defeated President Harry S.
Truman, whose name had
been entered and was allowed
to remain on the ballot. Mr..
Truman later announced he
would not seek renomina-
ton. However, Senator Ke-
fauver's victory over Mr.. Tru-
man really made him q
front-running candidate for
the Democratic nomination
that year-and he so con-
tinued until the Chicago
Democratic National Con-
vention. where Adlai Steven
son, who had entered no
primaries, with President
Truman's blessing won the
nomination.

mary provides for an express

Highway Dept. Makes
Request OF Farmers
Are Asked Not To Pl0w
Over Dirt
Roads

With the start of agricultural
activities, particularly in the lover
part of the State, engineers of the
State Highway Department are re-
newing their requests for farmers
now to plow over dirt roads.
The practice followed in some
areas of blowing across the edge
of the field out into the highway,
for the purpose of turning the
equipment, frequently results in
the drainage ditch at the edge of
the field being eliminated.
This action could result in a
flood condition being created along
both the field and road by storms
in the immediate future.
The dirt roads, as well as the
dirt shoulders along paved roads,
according to Highway Department
engineers, have all suffered some
damage during the winter months,

State Resident Can

Have Better Than Average Chance
Because OF Facilities

Residents of the First State have
a better-than-average chance of be-
ing admitted to a hospital when
disqualification is needed, accord
ing to the Delaware State Develop
ment Department.
Delaware's population has in
creased rapidly. Since the 1850 GEN.
sus the population has sky rocket
ed from about $4,000 to an esti-
mated $4,000 as of July 1, 1858.
But Delaware's hospitals have
done an excellent job of trying to
keep pace by increasing the num-
Der of available beds from 1865 to
1881.
The ratio of hospital beds to the
population was 3.5 beds per 1000
persons in July 1858. While this is
somewhat lower than the recon-
mended minimum of As beds per
1000 people, some areas of the
State exceed the recommended
minimum.
