Feels Draft

Watching on TV THE
Great Challenge: Can We
Improve Our Education for
leadership" I was enchanted
by the charming personality
of Gov. Nelson A. Rookie
feller. who participated in
the discussion. BY the. way,
he got the biggest hand from
the studio audience. No Won
der the politicians and fat
cats in the COP. are against
the Governors running for
President. They fear, if he
is elected, that they wouldn't
be able to get around him.
Rocky isn't a party man. He
is a humanitarian and states
man. To him the welfare of
this country and the world
at large comes first.
Now that Vice President
Nixon is slipping in the
public opinion polls-and as
time goes on the slippage
may increase - his friends,
the politicians in the Re-
publican Party, will try to
high pressure the Governor
to run for second place, to
help them out in their
dilemma. If Nelson Rookie
feller can withstand that
high pressure and stick to
his decision not to run for
second place-and I think
he will-the American peo-
pie, regardless of party af-
f1liation, will draft the Gov
ernor for first place-Presi-
dent of the United States of
America.

is becoming political football, with the
danger that administration inaction or
lack of guidance will only encourage
support for something like the Forand
formula. With a national election cam
paign coming up, Congress not only is
under pressure, but apparently in a
mood, on both sides Of the party aisle,
to do something. If so, the administra-
ton can help to see that that something
is sound and constructive.

CoIiber of Programs

1laIlk you I0r 1SaDelle
Shelton's fine summary of
the White House Conference
Work Groups on radio and
TV. We are very much in
accord with the sentiments
expressed and have wished
often that there were some
tangible way that the public
could register or implement
their feelings and prefer
ences.
At present it seems we are
completely at the mercy of
the advertisers and those who
control radio and TV. Is there
anything at all that we can
do? Could some organization
of listeners and viewers be
formed? The deterioration in
recent months of both radio
and TV is simply pathetic.
Some of our very favorite
programs and some of the
very best, in our opinion, are
being taken off, and others of
very inferior quality are being
substituted.
This has been true of some
of our favorite programs.
Even Lucy" and December
Bride" have lowered their
standards recently and are
yielding to the trend toward
overemphaSis on sex. For
years these have been among
our favorites. Now we find
ourselves turning them off in
disgust.
The same malady has
stricken even our news re-
ports. for about every other
sentence now is a CONNER
cial; and we are constantly
now being interrupted and
bombarded by commercials
in between increasingly brief
news comments.
What can we do? 1t seems
to me that the newspapers
might add to their other fine
accomplishments in helping
us to exert some pressure to
correct this growing deteri-
grafton.

Gets Bad Bounce

I read Bill Fuchs article
about the closing of the Silver
Spring golf course. I can SYM
pathize with Mr.. Van Gogh
and it's just peachy-dandy
that Mr.. Kay was able to re-
locate, but what happens now
to the many people who used
to play there? I'm thinking
OF those who can't afford to
join a club or are not subsi-
died. The only thing left in
that general area is Sligo and
we know it won't be able to
handle the play.
I suggest that one answer
to the problem would be to
open to the public those
courses that are supported
by tax money. For example.
the University of Maryland
course. AS a taxpayer in
Maryland I am subsidizing
students, faculty and staff so
that they can play for ridicu-
lously low fees, but I can't
even play it except as a guest,
and then the fee is $3.50.
Certainly there would be no
reason why they couldn't
open the course to the public
during the summer vacation
and perhaps on weekdays for
the rest of the year. The
same could apply to the mill
tary layouts like MOL, Fort
Meade, etc.
Unfortunately, the average
duffer does not have an Or
ganization to lobby for him,
but that's where the local
sports writers and news
papers could help. How
about it?

The Biz Difference

If the people of Washington are
given the right to vote for President,
Vice President and representatives in
Congress, should not the same rights
be extended to the people of all terri
tories or commonwealthS or possessions
Of the United States?
That, in substance, was a question
asked by Representative McCulloch of
Ohio, the ranking minority member of
the House Judiciary Committee, during
last weeks hearings on Chairman Gel
ler'S proposed Constitutional amend
ment. The witness, Senator Heating,
suggested that each case should be con-
sidered separately. Other witnesses, SIM
ilarly questioned, agreed that the funda-
mental principle-the right of repre-
sentation in the National Government
was the same.
Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin
Islands, American Samoa, the Canal
Zone, Wake Island, Baker Rowland,
Jarvis Islands, Johnston Island, King
man Reef, Kure Island and Canton
Enderbury Islands are possessions of
the United States. Residents of the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, of Guam
and the Virgin Islands are citizens of
the United States. Residents of other
possessions are not citizens, unless born
OF American parents. Only the Common
wealth of Puerto Rico has a population
large enough to entitle it to represen-
tatlon in the House under the current
formula, one representative per 100000
population, and only Puerto Rico is
now represented in the House by nom
voting Resident Commissioner.
The greatest difference, however,
between the District of Columbia and
the potential political status of our pos
sessions is this: For the possessions,
the route to voting representation in
the National Government is through
statehood. AS shown in the cases of
Hawaii and Alaska, once the population
requirement is established, any or all
OF the possessions conceivably could be-
come sovereign States by act of Con-
gresS But this route is pretty we'll fore
closed to the District of Columbia, set
aside in the Constitution as the Seat of
Government under the exclusive juris-
diction of Congress. Most people will
agree, we believe, that the District
should not become a State and there
is no disposition in Congress to make
it State.
The lawyers seem to agree that
the only method to obtain voting rep
reSentation for the people of Washing
ton in their Government is by Consti-
tutional amendment, granting such
representation without comforting state
hood. That is why the proposed Con-
Stitutional amendment relating to the
District of Columbia must stand alone,
and not be confused with other pro-
poSalS affecting the status of territories
or possessions of the United States else
where. The principle that all citizens
should be represented in their govern
ment may be the same. But the avail
able methods of applying the principle
are entirely different, and the circum-
stances vary in each case.
1t would be fatal if the Districts
case were in any manner confused with
those presented by other claimants for
the right of National representation.

under the circumstances was
highly creditable. Efforts have
been made to read into the
vote a popular opposition to
him, which at best is only
a surmise.
Gov. Rockefeller's state
ment not only "deplored"
the letter attacking Mr..
Nixon's leadership abilities
and n national political
strength, but said that nei-
ther he, the Governor, nor
any one associated in any
capacity with him had either
authorized or had any knowl-
edge of the letter before it
was sent out. as it was to
members of the Republican
National Committee and
other party leaders. Those
signing the letter were Mrs.
Kenneth E. Simpson, widow
of former Republican Con-
gresham from New York
City; Samuel NJ. Lane, Mrs.
Roger B. Hull, and Mark
Adams, a senior at Harvard
who formerly headed a stu
dentS-for- Rockefeller organi-
zation there. They said they
had been asked to sign the
letter. prepared by someone
else. but representative of a
large group"
Favor More Activity
Nixon supporters have been
highly incensed by this attack
from Republican sources.
Some of them, however,
would like to see the Vice
President become much more
active than he has been in re-
cent months. If he is entered
in presidential preference pri-
maries, they feel, he should
campaign in those States,
even if he is unopposed. Mr..
Nixon did not visit Wiscon-
sin during the primary cam
paign. Further, some objec-
tive observers are predicting
that If in future primaries
and future public opinion
polls Mr.. Nixon should fall
of even more. there may be
increasing ands that
some other candidate be
nominated by the Republic
cans. Up until recently, the
Nixon front has been strong
and unshaken. 1t is still
strong - but soft spots seem
to be developing here and
there.
President Eisenhower's un-
qualified Endorsement of Mr..
Nixon as a presidential nomi-
nee is a strong anchor for
the Nixon line. AS of today,
it would be an amazing thing
if the line really gave way.
But anything could happen
If panic should develop be-
fore or during the Republic
can National Convention the
last of July.
The Nixon line may be
weakened, too, If old guards
men. believing the Vice Presi-
dent is too liberal. should
turn away from him. Repub-
licans in two States-South
Carolina and Arizona - al
ready have agreed to send
Goldwater for President
delegations to the party's ma
tional convention. In the
springtime, however, the old
guardsman's fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of the Nc
Kinley era. That, since the
days of Harding 40 years ago.
is as far as the Old Guard
has gotten politically. Sena-
tor Goldwater and his sup
porters know that if the Re-
publican presidential nomi-
nation does not go to Mr..
Nixon, it will surely pass to
Gov. Rockefeller-unless the
latter should decline a draft.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Stop Nixon: Stop Kennedy!
By GOULD LINCOLN

The battle is on to stop"
Vice President Nixon and
Senator Kennedy, respec-
lively Republican and Dem
ocratic front-runners for
nominations for President.
In the process, both major
political parties could tear
themselves wide open. Vice
President Nixon is under fire
from reputed supporters of
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
and old guardSmen who
would be willing to see the
G. o. P. lose the coming
presidential election in order
to try to elect Senator Barry
Goldwater of Arizona or
some similar ultraconserva-
tive in 1864. Senator John F.
Kennedy of Massachusetts,
finds a growing coalition of
the supporters of at least
four other Democratic hope
fuls, all seeking to head off
q Kennedy nomination at
the Democratic National
Convention.
The latest attack on the
Vice President, a letter seek
ing to prove that Nixon can
not win," is signed by four
supporters of Gov. Rockefel-
Ter for the presidential NOM
ination. Instead of an affirm
ative campaign to draft"
the New York Governor, be-
cause of his excellent record
as chief executive of the
most populous State in the
Union, these Rockefeller en-
thuSiasts have tried a mega
tive approach-to beat down
Mr.. Nixon. If they fail to
shake his grip on the Repub-
lican nomination, they will
only have done harm to
G. o. P. chances of success
with their harsh criticisms of
the Vice President. Those
charges are only a shade less
vituperative and intemper-
ate than attacks launched
against Mr.. Nixon by the
Democrats. This kind of
thing shows only irresponsi-
bility so far as Republican
Party affairs are concerned.
Gov. Rockefeller has en-
phatically disaSsociated him
self from this smear cam
paign against Mr.. Nixon. He
said he is not a candidate for
the presidential nomination,
having withdrawn from the
race last December. More re-
Gently he has been reported
as probably willing to accept
a draft" t"-although he has
not said fatty he would do
so. When the Governor was
giving serious consideration
to making the race for the
nomination against Mr.. Nix
on, he was reported as frown-
ing upon a campaign to prove
that Mr.. Nixon cannot win,"
which some wanted to start
at that time.
Follow National Poll
The anti-Nixon moves,
seemingly in support of a
Rockefeller nomination, fol-
low closely on the heels of a
national public opinion poll
which showed Mr.. Kennedy
leading Mr.. Nixon for presi-
dental preference and on
the results of the Wisconsin
presidential primary in which
the Vice President ran behind
both Senators Kennedy and
Hubert Humphrey of Min
neSota, Democrats. Mr.. Nix
on was unoppoSed in the Re-
publican primary. and thou
sands of Republican voters
crossed party lines to vote for
either of the two Democrats.
