An Announcement Against Rockefeller
Called Way to Make His Name Known

ator JavitS; in fact, no can
didate has yet ventured to
unce the aspiration.
They do profess with some
show of plauSibility the feel
ing that Gov. Rockefeller has
lost his zest for politics be-
cause of his recent family
misfortunes.
This is today no more than
an impression, and it may
fade. Should it grow, it seems
probable that competition for
the Democratic nomination
would multiply rapidly. Mr..
Stratton is little known in
greater New York.
He had been talking of the
governorship even before the
Republican legislature sud-
denly gerrymandered him out
of his House seat. Now he has
a real reason to make the ef-
fort, even against odds.
He has been trying to en-
p list the support of Robert
Burkhardt of New Jersey,
who ranks high on the po-
litical wizard list since he
turned the trick for Gov
elect Hughes OF New Jersey
last month. The Kennedy ad-
ministration is grateful for
that one, especially since the

Strotton's Target: Heating in "a?

President himself took the
chance of risking some pres
tige on the outcome.
Thus it is felt that Mr..
Burkhardt would almost au-
tomatically guarantee the
presidential interest and par
ticipation in any campaign
undertaken by him.
There is plenty of induce
ment in the New York sit
uation, even without him, for
active Kennedy interest. The
State will be of the first i'm
portance to Mr.. Kennedy in
1864. especially if Richard
Nixon has by that time taken
over control of the California
State government.
AS of now. the Democrats
are still feuding and threat
ening each other with litiga-
ton. The recent gerrymander
suggests a possible net loss to
Democrats of four House
seats next year. The new
Wagner" as Mayor OF New
York is still but a pious hope
despite his easy victory. Re-
publican control of the State
is almost complete.
The burning need is for
candidates. Mr.. Stratton
starts out under the handi-
cap Of being not we'll known,
but he is at least a New
Frontiersman eager to get in
to the fray.

Republican reasoning is
that he will only be limber-

believe Mr.. Stratton's real

Moral Law, Red China and u. N.

tragically detaches herself
from moral principle and
moral law and accepts the
course of expediency and sur
render on the Red China
issue. Instead Of denouncing
such course at this critical
time when the matter is up
for debate and a vote in the
U.N., the influential New
York Times editorially makes
a sympathetic argument that
Sweden knows all about
Communist China, knows its
record in Korea, knows its
brutal rule at home" but
nevertheless wants Commu-
mist China in the U.N." on
the theory that membership
should be universal" The
Times accepts without pro-
test the idea that two
Chinas-the mainland and
Formosa-should be given
membership.
This is tantamount to say
ing the U.N. has no principles
of morality Of its own, that
its Charter-which calls for
the admission only of peace
loving" nations-is meaning
less, and that the United
States should bow to the
concept that gangsters and
decent people must fraternize
with each other. Yet this kind
of reasoning is the very sort
of defeatism that inevitably
leads to war. For the gang
ster governments see it as
coWardice and weakness, and
they are thus encouraged to
challenge it.
All of this eventually could
lead to a call for more re
servistS" and more draft"
divisions Of American boys
and a risk that the United
States will some day be COM
PEELED to sacrifice millions of
lives just to prove that our
Government means what it
says. A reiteration of a basic
principle is necessary-that
the United States will not
bow to immortality even if it
means our withdrawal from
the U.N. as a means of con-
vincing other peoples that the
U. N. cannot exist half-gang-
ster AND half-free. even as it
is financed to a large degree
by the taxpayers Of the
United States.

political considerations by
Mr.. Rostow.
Some Of the Wet Namese
seem to have the unrealistic
idea that the United States
might send American troops
to bolster their forces for
"the day." But even those
who realize that this is not
possible because of our many
other commitments have be-
come fearful that the support
in modern military equip
ment and large number Of
instructors will not be of the
size they had expected. They
say II American support is
only Of the token type they
will not be able to withstand
alone large scale Communist
attacks which may develop
within the next few weeks.
AS an alternative to our
sending military forces, it has
been suggested that we pro-
vide transport for some two
or three divisions Of Nation
alist Chinese. These Amer
ican trained forces could help
withstand the Red onslaught
without injury to the For
mosa defenses. The Wet
Namese seemed crestfallen
when it was explained to
them that Washington would
never become a party to such
a plan for fear of complica-
tions with the rest of the
Communist world.
While Mr.. Khrushchev has
agreed to show the smiling
side of his face, there are
other surprises in store for us
in the near future-possibly
while we sit at the confer
ence table.
There is no need for the
General Assembly to pass a
resolution to activate Rus
sian demands: trouble can
break out in any critical
area and Mr.. Khrushchev
can play the innocent. After
all, these matters have moth
ing to do outwardly with Ber-
lin and the German situation.

ROME-There is hope that
we shall be able to eat
Christmas turkey this year
in relative peace and in an
atmosphere of less tension
between the Soviet Union and
the United States. These in
dications do not come neces-
sarily from high informed
quarters" but merely from
watching the diplomatic
game as played by the Reds
and the United States.
Following the modern dip
lomatic method inaugurated
by Stain, Premier Nikita
Khrushchev gave spectacular
interviews to two American
columnists in which he in
dicated his goodwill toward
the world as we'll as his i'm
mutable conviction that
everything was going we'll
the Communist way"
This was followed recently
by the unique procedure Of
the President of the United
States in giving an exclusive
interview to the editor of L.
vestia, the official Soviet
newspaper. Although it was
doctored when Tass put 1t on
the air, many of Mr.. Ken
nedy's answers were given to
the world by the Russians.
The interview led to the con-
clusion that there is plenty
Of room for successful nego-
tiations on overall problems
which have created the long
crisis between the free and
Communist nations.
On the basis OF this new
method Of international dip
lomatic negotiation, m o t
Western leaders are getting
ready to spend their Christ
mas holidays with a feeling
of peace. though not without
some apprehension. For they
fear that while there may
be an illusory thaw between
the United States and the
