Rusk Proposed
As Rockefeller
Foe in ~ Race

NEW YORK, Nov. 25 (AP) i.
Secretary Of State Rusk is
under consideration by Demo-
cratic leaders to oppose Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller in his
bid for reelection next year,
the New York Herald Tribune
said today.
Mr.. Rusk said through a
spokesman in Washington that
he had never heard Of the sug-
gestion and expressed surprise
at the report.
The newspaper said Mayor
Robert F. Wagner is creating a
de facto state committee to run
the party in New York State,
and that this committee has its
eye on Mr.. Rusk, a former
president of the Rockefeller
Foundation whose home is in
Scarsdale.
The new committee, the
newspaper added, will be put
into operation before the end
of next month.
1T is aimed at preparing the
party-now badly shattered
here because of the brutal in
tra-Democratic party fighting
over the mayoralty-for an ex-
pected about effort by the
Republican State organization
to re-elect Gov. Rockefeller, "
the article said.
The article, by Tom O'Hara,
continued.
above all, the Wagner-Ken-
nedy plan is aimed at circum-
venting the Hotel Biltmore,
headquarters of Michael H.
Prendergast, now Democratic
State chairman. Mr.. Prender-
CAST is out of grace with both
the Kennedy leadership in the
nation and Mayor Wagner in
the State"
