CuIiforniun Notes
Morale Upsuree
BY DAVID s. BRODER
Star star Writer


LOS ANGELES, Nov. p
Murray Chotiner Is consider
ing putting Vice President
Nixon's picture back up on his
Office wall.
This change Of heart by the
Republican candidates former
campaign manager reflects as
well as any single bit Of evi-
dence the improvement in
COP. morale here in the last
two weeks - an improvement
that apparently survived in
tact yesterdays tumultuous
Los Angeles reception for Sen
ator Kennedy.
When Mr.. Nixon was last in
California, in mid October, Mr..
Chotiner was unSparing in his
criticism of his former pupils
tactics in seeking the presi-
dency. He described the effect
Of the Vice Presidents public
appearances UP to that point
as equal to those "a talking
portrait" might have achieved.
Campaign Picks Up
Now Mr.. Chotiner is feel
ing better about the Nixon
campaign. HE can give a fell
low an awful case of the jit-
ters with his sense of timing, -
Mr.. Chotiner said today. "but
there's no doubt his campaign
has picked up in the last two
weeks. The only question is
whether the upsurge has come
in time to carry him over the
top"
Other Republicans, closer to
the direction of Mr.. Nixon's
current campaign in his home
state of California, share Mr.,
Chotiner's sense of lift.
Whether their optimism is
justified can be questioned. but
the improvement in their mo-
rale is the most striking change
in the States political picture
In the last two weeks.
And in a close race for the
80 California electoral votes,
the improved morale itself could
become a factor in the outcome
if-as seems likely-it spurs
the Republicans to a maximum
effort on behalf of their can
didate.
For the moment, the Repub-
licans themselves are shy of
fatty predicting victory. The
latest copyrighted Field Poll on
California showed Sena ator
Kennedy with 48 per cent of
the vote. Mr.. Nixon with As per
cent and 2 percent undecided.
Tight as Traffic
A leading Southern Cali
fornia Republican, talking by
phone from his car, called the
race "as tight as the traffic jam

President, who naturally would
like to reckon its 80 electoral
votes to be safely in his
column.
The Senator was virtually
inundated by crowds all day

through Los Angeles and its
environs. At Q student rally,
at a neighborhood dance hail,
in the city streets, at a shop
ping center, at an aircraft fac

while rival for the nomina-
ton, Adlai Stevenson, he drew
tumults Of cheering admirers.
In downtown Los Angeles,
he was welcomed by some 200,-
900 screaming fans, approxi-
mately the same number as
turned out for native son

If elected next Tuesday, he
said he will establish an edu-
cational extension service with

would conduct research into
teaching techniques and meth
ods and other school programs.
He also proposed the enact
ment Of a student loan insur-
ance act under which the
Federal Government would
guarantee student loans made
by colleges and universities.
"Thus," he said in a prepared
speech, colleges would be able
to secure funds adequate to
meet the pressing financial
needs of all Its students-so
that no able student would
have to leave school because
he could not pay his expenses"
In his addresses to the ex-
cited fans he confronted all day

New York, July 31.-The Castro
