Republicans Are Believed Planning
Moke-or-Breok Drive for Key Areas

hopes to beef up his faction
to fight another day from his
strategic post as chairman
of the Republican Senate
Campaign Committee. The
statistical odds are against
him, as so many Republican
incumbentS are running in
the Midwest with the Ben
son albatross around their
necks.
For all the Nixon skill at
stage-managing-and it is
great-hiS strategy is obvious.
In the pivotal States, he will
don President Eisenhower'S
mantle as the keeper of the
peace, the man who can
stand up to the Russians.
He will cultivate minorities,
especially Negroes, zealouSly.
He hopes to do we'll with the
Jewish communities who
bitterly dislike Senator Ken
nedy's isolationist father.
In one of the few poignant
aspects of the campaign just
ahead, both parties have
largely cut loose from their
old heartlands. Their reasons
are wholly practical.
The Vice President dare
not openly touch the pre-
sumed Kennedy weakness in
the so-called Bible belt,
which is Catholicism. To be
even suspected of it would
hurt him in such crucial
States as New York. He has
to let the issue work for
itself rather than seek to
open a second front here.
This means that Senator
Kennedy can afford to let
the South lie where the con-
vention flung her in the hope

CHICAGO.-The Republi-
cans came here depressed in
mind, but they went away
confident and invigorated.
They had felt the impact of
the Kennedy-Johnson nomi-
nations at Los Angeles and
wondered how their own con-
vention would go.
There were signs of fric-
ton, of dissension and dis
cord which indicated serious
trouble ahead. The dele
gates were frankly puzzled
by the tactics of Gov. Rookie
feller and his following. They
wondered about the extreme
conservatives, too. But in
the end all was harmony and,
when the Nixon-Lodge ticket
was chosen, the convention
was happy and plainly stimu-
lated. The delegates began
to reflect to each other a
feeling of victory ahead and
talked as if they sincerely
believe it is coming.
What brought the trans
formation? First of all, the
skillful handling by Mr..
Nixon of the Rockefeller
pressure for changes in the
platform. Secondly, there
was the strong keynote speech
made by Representative Judd
Of Minnesota classic in
political rebuttal and,
finally, the poise and sheer
weight of the influence of
President Dwight EiSen-
hover. Anyone who under
estimates his prestige today
is making an error in ap-
praiSal.
Broadly speaking, the Re-
publican convention was diff
ferent from the Democratic
conclave in many respects.
Here they long ago knew who
the nominee would be. En-
ergies were, therefore, con-
centrated on strategy for the
convention. To see a son
Of the late Senator Taft and
a son of the late Franklin
Roosevelt each rising to Sec

have considered the rights
plank as being in his middle
of the road. Publicly he has
praised the platform. But in
this informal talk he re-
vealed his private thinking.
The truth about Richard
Nixon Is that in philosophy
he always has been closer to
Gov. Rockefeller than to the
President. This fact was of
necessity obscured by his
being on the team and also
by reason of his many jour-
neys as a political mechanic.
Whenever State leaders got
into diSagreements or devel-
oped hoStilities, it was Mr..
Nixon who was sent to make
repairs.
Most of the State leader
ship, especially in the Middle
West, was and is, extremely
conservative. In selling the
Presidents middle = of the
road concept to these men,
Mr.. Nixon appeared to them
as equally conservative. They
could have learned better by
checking his Senate voting
record.
This inaccurate image of
their nominee was one rea-
son so many COP. leaders
and delegates became so bit
ter over the IA Rockefeller
Nixon platform points. They
could not believe Mr.. Nixon
had done anything but capi-
tulate. Indeed. some don't
yet accept any other ex-
planation.
Emergency action always
leaves some persons unpre-
pared. When the Vice Presi-
dent made up his mind to
see Gov. Rockefeller, he SIM
ply picked up the telephone
and arranged it He did not
notify his PERSONNEL. The
Governor did inform some of

RALPH McGILL

CHICAGO - "The major
difference between President
Eisenhower and me-" Rich
ard Nixon once was quoted as
saying, "is that I am more
inclined to take emergency
action"
Nothing more clearly illus
trated that fact than the
nominees decisive moves be-
fore and during the conven-
ton. His flight to New York
to confer with Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller. and his heavy
handed action with the plat
form committee to bend it to
his will. were examples of his
taking emergency action.
His emergency maneuvers
did not please everyone.
There are conservative lead
ers here rather high in the
party who after four days
are still angry. This is no
more a happy political Or
ganization than was that of
the Democrats when their
show concluded at Los An
geles. But here. as there, one
man is in charge.
It is almost certain the
President privately does not
approve all aspects of the
Vice Presidents emergency
action. The civil rights plank
goes much farther than he
ever had. 1t is well to the left
of anything he ever proposed.
1t goes miles beyond his OPP
position to trying to change
attitudes by law.
Indeed, in a Wednesday
morning talk to party work
erS the President. while in a
good humor, seemed to be re-
buking both Mr.. Nixon and
Gov. Rockefeller. He said the
Republican Party must al
ways follow the broad middle

DORIS FLEESON

CHICAGO - Republicans,
under nominees Richard
Nixon and Henry Cabot
Lodge, are definitively headed
for a make-or-brea cam
paign to win in November
through capture of the big
industrial States.
The Kennedy johnson
forces already are deep in
conferences in New York and
California designed to meet
that challenge. A key figure
in their effort is Adlai Steven
son, represented in the con-
ferenceS by trusted aides and
himself scheduled for skull
practice this week end with
Senator John Kennedy at
Hyannis Port, Mass.
The Vice President has
taken command of the COP.
with his usual decisiveness.
The delaying action on the
Lodge nomination proved to
be only a tactic of buying
time to persuade" rather
than order, reluctant West
and Midwest conservatives to
accept an Eastern interna-
tionalist.
The conservatives don't like
the double dose of liberalism
in the platform and ticket,
but there was no point in
bucking the doctor on whom
all now depend for the
party's health and success
next November. In their
secret hearts they know that,
even If he wins, the party is
in for a realignment which
will send many of them and
their most cherished concepts
into limbo.

The Montgomery County
School Board race, which has
produced little FIRE thus far,
grew warmer yesterday with the
first public announcement that
an organized campaign unit is
backing a slate that includes
Mrs. Lucille Maurer, Mrs. Lucy
Kicker and Clifford K. Beck.
Formation of the new group,
the non-partisan citizens Com
mittee for eck-Keker-Maurer
is seen by observers as a sign
the school race will get a good
deal hotter in the remaining
weeks before the November 8
election.
Mrs. Kicker and Mrs. .Maurer
are oppoed by candidates sup
ported by the Council for Bet
ter Education, a group active
since early 1859 in support OF
more emphasis on fundamen-
tails in education and care in
spending.
The CBE Is, backing Charles
F. James and James I. Hum

the two women candidates. The
council plans to make a fight
of the election in an effort to
make its views more effectively
heard on school matters.

In announcing their organi-
zation, the new Non-Partisan
Citizens Committee circulated
a letter charging that some
candidates" have narrow hori-
IONS" on school matters.
In selecting a name for the
Beck k-Keker-Maurer organiza-
ton, the Non-Partisans chose
a name that family resembles
one Of the campaign designa-
tons used in the 1858 school
election, in which q slate that
considered itself the more "lib-

In 1858. this group, which

reelection, called itself the

The two states this year are
running for seats vacated by
Mrs. Scharf and Mrs. Kramer.
In addition to candidates

Lancaster Asks Quest

Maryland Congressional can

used" he said.
