Dewey Reported
Turning Down
Rockefeller Bid

NEW YORK, June II (AP)
Rockefeller has
asked Thomas E. Dewey to be
a New York State delegate to
the Republican National Con-
Vention and Mr.. Dewey has
tentatively turned him down,
a Republican source said today.
Mr.. Dewey, twice the Repub-
lican presidential candidate,
told the Governor that a plan
ned business trip to Europe
might prevent him from at
tending the convention in Chi
cago next month, the source
said.
Mr.. Dewey is expected to
make a final decision within a
few days, according to the
source, who asked not to be
identified.
A spokesman said Gov. Rock
efeller declined to comment.

S0OO million recommended
Thursday by a subcommittee.
Mr.. Eisenhower originally
asked for SALTS, 100000. But
Congress, in separate legisla-
ton authorizing the program,
limited spending for the next
year to $4,086,30O,0O0.
In kilograms to House Re-
publican Leader Halleck and
others, Mr.. Eisenhower said:
II understand that in addi-
tion to other unfortunate re-
ductionS, the majority of the
Foreign Operations subcom-
mittee of the House Appropri-
alton request of $4O0 million
and defense support by an ad-
ditional SIS million. This can
not but jeojardize our own Sc
curity and the defense of the
free world.
"UnaVoidably the military
assistance cut would compel
America to withhold from her
allies both in NATO and in
the Far East the equipment
required to maintain a re-

grasp of a world situation that

leadership by heading his party
for eight years and in two
national campaigns ="

Mr.. Dewey was not available
for comment.
Should Mr.. Dewey not go, it
might be considered a repudi-
alton of Gov. Rockefeller's
presidential ambitions and the
governors criticism of Vice
Presiednt Nixon.
Mr.. Dewey, former New York
State governor, has attended
every G. o. P. national con-
vention since 1910.
Mr.. Dewey endorsed Mr..
Nixon for the G. o. P. presi-
Dental nomination before Gov.
Rockefeller announced that he
was available for a draft.

FRIDAY, MARCH IS, 1860
Now Gentlemen!

WHEN you get $50 politicians together
there is bound to be some unneces-
sary jibes taken here and there. In the
legislative session just closed it appear
ed to us that there were an unusual
number of cleavages. The town boys
got annoyed with the country boys,
the Southwest teamed against the
Southside the Almond forces came to
grips with Byrd forces; the conserva-
tives battled the liberals; the two
Republicans controlled the issues, at
least in the Senate - that monotonous
21-19 drone of the last few hours
included the two Republican votes.
Politics make strange bedfellows, but
we see no reason to be kicking some
bedfellows out of bed. After all we
are all Virginians, and, we trust, fall
out principally about what we believe
to be best for Virginia. At any rate the
die is cast for the next two years unless
some emergency comes to require
special session in the interim, which is
not now foreseeable Now, gentlemen,
begin all over again.
For the record, the representa-
tives of this area were found in the
group, known as the conservatives,
that is they were not convinced that
cent sales tax was necessary to
balance, or rather overbalance, a
