that preservation Of a genuine two

only II the national leaders can

the modern element in our party
which is predominant"
Javits, unfortunately, does not
come to grips with the problem
he poses except by some negative
observations. IT do not believe
that Vice President Richard Nixon
deserves to be identified as a con-
sentative" he says.
He notes that the party h
under the closest scrutiny" IL
has experienced since 1913. Its
programs and ideas are being
examined as never before. What
does the New Yorker think Of
these programs and ideas? They
must be modern" he insists.
I'VE must present candidates
who win be representative Of the
best Lincolnian tradition and in
tune with the times" he continues.
Where are they to be found? He
does not say.
The Javits' speeches are signifi-
cant in many ways and worth
close study by anyone interested
in the future Of American politics.
But what they really add up to is
his conclusion that the COP is
essentially "one-man" party, that
Eisenhower did not allow ideas or
possible successors, except Nixon,
to flourish.
I wonder II this could be the
beginning Of a new Rockefeller
for-President movement?
