CHICAGO - Richard M.
Nixon and Henry Cabot
Lodge are nominated and
will have the active support
of the President during the
congressional session ahead
and in the campaign.
But basic in the history
making story of the conven-
d ton which chose them is a
w White House temporarily
domiciled at Newport and, at
least, temporarily angry. 1t
threw all its weight early last
Saturday morning against
the efforts of the Vice PreSi-
dent and Gov. Rockefeller to
have their platform planks
adopted.
First news of the Nixon
Rockefeller accord reached
the vacation White House
around 6 o'clock that morn
ing. In Chicago, press agency
men had been notified about
4:30 and the Nixon office
had issued a brief bulletin.
The full text was released in
New York, and, an hour
later, in the convention city.
1t was not long after six
o'clock that the Newport roof
fell in on Chicago. From a
reliable source comes the ex-
planation of why the plat
form committee on national
defense and civil rights got
out of hand and resisted so
stubbornly. National Chair
man Thruston Morton, after
presSures elsewhere had at
tanned nothing, repeatedly re-
ceived the suggestion to "let
the committee run wild" 1t
did, and like the prairie flow
er in the ballad, grew wilder
every hour.
What chiefly concerned the
White House aides was not
the civil rights plank, but
that of national defense. BY
declaring that Americas fu-
ture security required a
stepped-up expenditure and
other resolute measures, it

White House Role on Platform

was also working against
MIR. Nixon's best interest. 1t
became necessary for him to
produce a victory for the IA
points.
A night of heavy muscu-
lar political effort changed IL
platform committee votes.
The defense plank battle,
though it did not get the
headlines accorded the emo
tional one of civil rights, was
the more desperately fought.
1t was. behind the scenes,
brutally waged in a political
power sense. And, in the end,
Mr.. Rockefeller and Mr.. Nix
on won. If last fall most
Americans did not have a po-
litical image of Nelson Rock
efeller, he now assuredly
possesses a positive political
identity.
Indeed, this is evident in
the reaction. The President
and Mr.. Nixon conferred
here twice. Mr.. Eisenhower
then announced that, after
the Congress reconvenes on
August 8, he will present new
measures to meet what is
called a shift in Soviet policy.
This is a neat political
move. The new measures will
be designed not really to meet
any new Russian threat.
There is none. 1t is still the
same old danger of Commu-
mist power steadily growing
more powerful militarily and
economically. But, if the new
appraisal of defense policy
comes from the White House,
it will, they hope, tend to
make the voters forget that
what really is being done is
what Nelson Rockefeller has
been calling for since the
Rockefeller report was is
sued more than two years
ago and, more particularly,
what he has been emphasiz-
ing so strongly here.
This is but the first exam
pie of how the White House
can, and will, be able to
assist the party's nominee by
measures other than cam
paign speeches.

amounted to a reversal, If
not a repudiation of the
Eisenhower policies. 1t ap-
peared to presidential circles
as a direct affront. 1t sug-
gested that all is not well and
that our present military
strength is not invulnerable.
An all-out effort was be-
gun to stop this plank. The
platform committee was soon
a bedlam. Heavily loaded
with conservatives, isolation
lists and segregationist-mind-
ed Southerners, the defense
and civil rights Subcommit-
tees rejected the Rockefeller
Nixon planks. They had the
bit in their teeth and they
gleefully kicked over the
traces.
For about So hours it ap-
peared the Newport power
move had won. Gov. Rookie
feller had but one ace to
play. 1t was played, as some

fact that he did not want to

gates knew that the spectacle

party any good. Sunday

were not satisfactory.
