his announcement four days
before the April 13 deadline for
filing in the July IL Democratic
primary. There have been no
indications any Democrat in
tends to challenge Senator
Robertson in the primary.
Republicans, with high hopes
of winning Virginia for a third
straight time in the pres
idential election, may devote
their energies to the national
ticket and leave the junior Vir-
ginia Senator unopposed in the
November general election.
Senator Robertson, chairman
of the Banking and Currency
Committee and head Of the Ap-
preparations Subcommittee on
Post Office and Treasury mat
ters, was elected to the Senate
in 1916 to fill the unexpired
term of the late Senator Carter
Glass. He was elected for full
six-year terms in 1948 and
again in 1854.
Prior to his election to the
Senate he served in the House
of Representatives for seven
terms beginning in 1882.

The Vice President, unop-
posed for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination, is described
as setting his own campaign
pace and resisting pressures for
more active politicking.
Popularity Held FickIe
He is said to feel that in such
a tickle thing as popular favor,
candidates ratings go up and
down and he would rather be
up in September and October
than now.
And it is not anticipated in
the Nixon camp that the Vice
Presidents ratings will still be
going down on July 25. the day
the Republican convention
opens. Such a happening might
spur a move for Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller of New York as
the nominee.
Even the Wisconsin primary
in which the Vice President ran
third behind two Democrat
contestants left the Nixon camp
outwardly unperturbed. Mr..
Nixon, associates said, is con-
fident he will carry the State
in November.
While protesting to be un-
worried about the polls, the
Nixon source nevertheless said
the Vice President would he

Present Polls Discounted
While discounting the sig
nificance of polls at this time,
the Nixon camp released the
results of three California
samplings since last August to
show "the growing strength of
the Vice President" in his home
State.
The polls were made by
Facts Consolidated, a Los An
geles research organization.
They pitted Mr.. Nixon
against Gov. Edmund G. CPat)
Brown, who is running as a
favorite son for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination.
According to the polls, Gov.
Browns strength had slipped
from 38.4 per cent last August
to 26.6 per cent in March,

while Mr.. Nixon's rose from

resents no change in campaign
plans.
Among the additions to the
staff will be James Shepley,
chief of correspondents for
Time magazine, a Henry Luce
publication. He will join the
Nixon organization on April 18
as an aide on policy and
issues"
Another will be Stanley Nc
Caffery, vice president of the
University of California at
Berkeley. On May /, he will
become a campaign assistant
working with Robert H. Finch,
the Vice Presidents admfnistra-
tive assistant.
Mr.. Shepley, who formerly
headed Times Washington bu-
reau, has taken leave of his
magazine position to accept
the assignment. Asked If he
would be on leave with or
without pay from Time, the
Nixon source said to the best
of his knowledge he would be
paid here.
Will Direct Research
Mr.. Shepley will direct a re-
search staff which includes at
present two professors of gov
ernment also on leave-Charles
Lichenstein of Notre Dame
University and George Grass
muck of the University of
Michigan.
AS another indication of in
creased activity. the organiza-
tion of Dick Nixon clubs
throughout the country will be
stepped up. This work will be

Flanagan, 36, of Greenwich,
Conn, and Robert Haldenan,

string of customs and freighting authori-
ties. And labelling had to be precise so
the golf balls wouldn't get mixed in with
the dog biscuits and entire lots delivered
to Indo- China.
PeriShable items, such as frozen
foods for preparation at the soda foun-
tain, posed an obvious problem, and
until safely removed from the refrigera-
ton cars and shipholds they will cause
considerable fingernail biting
On the other hand, Mr.. Elsberg and
his staff won't have to worry about de-
liverieS of house plant stock. The mys-
teries of handling such shipments over
$500 miles will have to be solved by
the growers. And if the usual store stock
of tropical fish cannot be handled any
other way, Mr. Elsberg says, we'll fly

or Drug Fair, would be un-American

disc display and $50 feet of 10foot-high
plate glass for the store front also had to
be shipped.
Although he was able to arrive at
man-hour figure for the packing and
shipping operation. Mr.. Elsberg was at
a loss to predict how much labor he and
his nine-member staff will have put in
during the month or two needed for pre-
pairing the Zagreb branch and going
through the motions of operating it.
For myself" he says, Il have no
doubt Ill be putting in a.m.-tO-mid-

Mr.. Elsberg expects he will be filling
medical prescriptions during the two
weeks of the fair. That was one of his
occupations when he and his partner,
Robert Gerber now chairman of the
board, opened their first store in Buck
ingham % years ago.
The Zagreb store will transact no
business The hordeS of spectators will
file through the store at an orderly dis
tance cycling the immense variety of
stock and watching demonstrations of
such American phenomena as hair
setting sprays, shaving soap bombs, hor
none creams and the like. Part of Mr..
Elsberg's advance preparations is to
train 40 English-speaking Yugoslavs to
make like Drug Fair employees and Gus
toners.
Drug Fair is the only exclusively
Washington area business to exhibit to
date in an international trade fair
abroad. When it invited the firm to par
ticipate at Zagreb, the Commerce De-
partment's Office of International Trade
Fairs noted Drug Fairs "pre-eminence"
in its particular field of merchandising
All this is very pleasing to Mr.. Els
berg and the rest ofthe corporate family.
There is just one small disappointment:
