CHICAGO, July %. - With
all hope for a Nixon Rookie
feller ticket apparently gone,
Republican leaders strove to-
day to put through the kind
of a platform Gov. Rockefeller
said would prompt him to work
vigorously for a G. o. P. VIC
tory this fall.
Their first chore was to re-
pair the cracks in party unity
that appeared as conservatives
lambasted the secret 14-pcint
agreement on major platform
plankS arrived at by Vice Pres
ident Nixon and the New York
governor in New York last
night and early this morning.
In a crowded press confer
ence here late today. Gov.
Rockefeller made it clear that
his primary interest is in hav-
ing the party adopt the set of
principles on which he ana
Mr.. Nixon agreed.
He closed the door to ac-
ceptance of the vice presiden-
tial nomination when a re-
porter asked him if he was
ready to emulate Gen. Sher-
mans famous statement that
if nominated he would not run,
and if elected he would not
serve.
II am, and I have been, and
I thought I was making such
a statement these past months"
he replied.
WithhOIdS Endorsement
But he still avoided a fiat
Endorsement of Mr.. Nixon for
President, and continued to
leave the door open for a
genuine draft of himself to
head the ticket. He noted, how
ever, that he had seen no clear
evidence of a serious draft.
Gov. Rockefeller left no doubt
that he will get out and work
for the nominees of the con-
vention if the platform is salts
factory, and that he believes
there is "a very good chance"
the points agreed on in New
York will be adopted.
But there was considerable
grumbling among Platform
Committee members, and other
conservative party leaders, like
Senator Barry Goldwater of
Arizona, who charged Mr..
Nixon had surrendered" to
Gov. Rockefeller and labeled
their agreement as "the Munich
of the Republican Party"
| Gov. Rockefeller left open
the question of whether his
name would be offered for the
presidential nomination a
course some of his supporters
want to follow. He said he had
no present plans to permit that,
but left open the possibility

There are, to be sure. the
sounds of backstage graphing

occasional muff1ed scream from
the platform committee or
Senator Goldwater. They have
not disturbed the general JOY

Nixon Accepts Rockefeller Nc;
Leaders Tackle Platform Rift
Benson Sees
Governor as
Best Choice
By LEE nj. COIN
Star Staff Writer

Agriculture Secretary Benson
yesterday advised the Republi-
can Party to nominate Gov.
Rockefeller of New York, for
President. He was the first
member Of the cabinet to turn
his back on Vice President
Nixon.
Without formally indorsing
the Governor, Mr.. Benson de-
clared: II am convinced that
Gov. Rockefeller would stand
the best chance Of defeating
Senator Kennedy" the Demo-
cratic nominee.
Mr.. Nixon at a news con-
ference indicated that he was
not much worried by Mr.. Ben
sons detection. "His statement
should not come as any sur
prise" he said, noting that
"the Secretary and I have had
some very basic disagreements
on the kind of farm program
we should present to the Amer
ican people"
Many politicians consider
Mr.. Benson an election-year
liability to the Republican
Party. His disavowal of Mr..
Nixon could conceivably help
the Vice President win votes in
farm areas, where there is
much opposition to the Secre-
tary.
No Policy Disagreement
Although Mr.. Nixon attrib-
uted Mr.. Benson's support of
Gov. Rockefeller to disagree
ments on farm policy, the Sec
retary told The Star: MY
statement has nothing to do
with farm policy" He contin-
ued:
II am inclined to feel that
both the Governor and the
Vice President would have farm
programs would support" He
said his statement docs not
imply criticism of anyone's
farm policy"
Mr.. Benson said he would
campaign for either Gov. Rock
efeller or Mr.. Nixon, and does
not plan to work actively for
either one of them when he
goes to the Republican Ma
tional Convention in Chicago
Monday.
Text of Statement
His press statement follows:
Il have consistently refused
to indorSe a candidate for the
Republican presidential nomi-
nation prior to the action of
the party's convention. This
continues to be my policy. How
ever, I have been asked to COM
ment on the relative strength
Iof the candidates under con-
sideration in this important
election year.
Having Travelled possibly as
widely in the United States as
any other Republican in the
past seven and a half years, I am
convinced that Gov. Rockefel-
Ter would stand the best chance
of defeating Senator Kennedy.

Husband Shot,
eKidnaped
Abductor Cuught,
Woman Uniformed

GREAT NECK, N. Y, July %
(AP) An armed man shot an
attorney in the face today, kid
naped his pretty, 25-year-old
wife from their luxurious Long
Island home, and was captured
after a chase hours later in
Connecticut.
Connecticut State Police ar
rested Ruben Black, 80, of
Hampstead, N. Y, at Walling-
ford, about 100 miles from here.
Mrs. Nancy Rothkrug, trembling
but unharmed, was with him.
Mrs. Rothkrug said Black
told her a crime syndicate
hired him to kill her husband,
Leonard Rothkrug, 80, an at
torney, for $4,000, but police
were quick to discount this.
They said Black made a state
ment saying he was just try
ing to scare Mrs. Rothkrug by
telling her that story.
Motive Was Robbery
Connecticut authorities said
the motive was robbery in an
effort to help "a sister (of
Black'S) in trouble in Hart
ford" Police found $3.50 in
cash on Black.
Mrs. Rothkrug said she was
downstairs in their Great Neck
home when she heard a shot
upstairs. She said:
MY husband called out
Nancy and I went upstairs
and saw him (the gunman) i.
He pulled the trigger again but
the gun didn't go off. Then 1
saw my husband all covered
with blood. The man motioned
me in, and told me to tie my
husband"
Discussed Sports
The red-haired Mrs. Roth
krug said the guman forced
her into the Rothkrug car,
promising to let her off at a
hospital to get aid and saying
she would be back in an hour
But she Travelled with him all

Full Suffrage
For D. { 0Kd
Platform Group
Omits Aid Plank
By The stars Convention Bureau

By The Stars Convention Bureau
CHICAGO, ILL.,. July 23.-Full
District suffrage, including a
vote for President and Vice
President, representation in
Congress and local self-govern-
ment, is advocated in plank
drafted for the Republican
platform.
Members of a platform sub
committee after their final Ses-
sion tonight revealed details of
the District plank which will
be turned over to the full Reso-
'lutions Committee tomorrow
for insertion in the party plat
form.
Plank as Now Drawn
The plank as now drawn by
subcommittee states:
Republicans will continue to
work for congressional repre-
sentation and self government
for the District of Columbia
and also support the consti-
tutional amendment granting
national suffrage"
Omitted was any mention of
adequate" Federal financial
aid for the Capital, which Dis
trist Republicans had sought
together with the suffrage sup
port.
The suffrage plank drafted
by the subcommittee also sup
ports the right of the Puerto
Rican people to achieve state
hood" And, for the Virgin
Islands, the following language
has been included: "We-
whenever they freely so de-
termine-support an elected
governor for the Virgin Islands
and national representation
and suffrage, looking toward
eventual statehood"
These pledges, the plank
states, "are appropriate to the
Republican leadership under
which Alaska and Hawaii have
newly entered the Union"
In it's final form, the plank
!. drafted by the subcommittee
is more specific in its support
of all phases of suffrage thar
District Republicans dared tc
hope for.
Shipley's IL Words
Carl Shipley, District Repub'
, lican chairman, earlier haC
trimmed down a proposed 64'
word plank into II words which
, support suffrage generally
without naming presidential
elections, national representa-
, ton or self-government.
He said support for al
phases of suffrage was implied
: in the plank he offered, but h
had made his recommendation
as brief as possible to eXpeditl
its inclusion in the platform
: His 11-word plank also hal
!. proposed support for "ade
: quate" Federal financial ali
for the District, which sub
, committee members said the,
