phrey in West Virginia and Adlai
Stevenson.
Whether it works and how it
works remains to be seen. The
sizing up process is now under
way. Naturally The White House
inner circle will not broadcast
what is planned for the future.
But this, I submit, is a fair sum-
ming up of the situation of what
Rockefeller has working for him
and against him as 1t now appears.
For him - Gov. ROckefeIler's
image, to use the favorite
phrase, is of a good, hard-wOrk-
ing man, intelligent, warm
hearted, disdainful of ordinary
political behavior, moderately
liberal, earnest and, of course,
wealthy.
Against him - He still seems to
be pretty much an amateur in
politics partly because he lacks
the killer" instinct. His perform
ance last year of going around
from state to state and getting
the cold shoulder from local Re-
publicans seemed almost masoch-
istic. His inability to control the
New York Republican organiza-
ton, as Tom Dewey did, and to
put up a stronger candidate for
Mayor against Robert Wagner
likewise seemed amateurish.
Leaving aside the merits of the
issue, there seem to be no votes
for Rockefeller in favoring a
"hard-line" in foreign affairs or
resumption of nuclear testing. Nor
does the Governor yet seem to
have hit upon popular issue with
which he is clearly identified.
The big domestic issue for 1862,
of course, may be the question Of
federal aid to public schools.
Rockefeller's position on this issue
has not been clearly stated.
This may not be much Of an
issue in the forthcoming New York
gubernatorial contest, but it very
likely will hold the attention of
Congress in 1862. There seems to
be little heart for real fight in
the Administration. The tendency
now is to aibi defeat in advance
by putting the blame for no &C.
ton on Cardinal Spellman and or
the Southern conservatives.
But the Kennedy strategists are
also saying that if only one Re-
publican on the House Rules Com
mittee can be persuaded to change
his vote the issue can reach the
floor. They will probably put pres
sure on Gov. Rockefeller to try
to line up that one Republican
vote.
For Rockefeller 1862 will be a
year of many trials, local and ma
tional. He will find the path to

THE SIZING UP - Rockefeller
cannot hope to escape for long. He
has been marked for the same
treatment that The White House

Kennedy Killers" or the Irish
Malta, melted out to Hubert Hum

ahead and assuming that the /
put up Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
as their candidate for President.
The Kennedys did not get
where they are by hit-Or-miss
political operations. They plan
ned for 1860 in August of 1856.
They realize, of course, that
there are many Republicans who
still long for the good old days OF
Coolidge, Harding and Hoover
or Mckinley. They hope that these
Republicans will prevail and put
up Sen. Barry Goldwater for Presi-
dent. He is their favorite opponent
But The White House does not
count on being accommodated
in this way. So they are taking
no chances.
Having decided that Gov. Rookie
Teller is the most formidable can

the Democratic high command also
has decided that the time to beat
Rockefeller is now - not three
years from now. If he cannot be
beaten for reelection they hope
at least, to white down his ma
jority. They do not want him to
have such a commanding position
his nomination becomes inevitable
at the next Republican convention
Such are the basic assumptions
that underlie Democratic National
Chairman Bailey's decision to seize
upon the rearranging of New
York's congressional districts as a
horrible example of political lar
ceny".
When a politician becomes moral
over redistricting, we must, OF
course, look closely. The whole APP
portionment system is scandalous,
as practiced in New York and in
states with Democratic Admins
trations, too, such as California
and Florida. The lines of congress
ional districts are drawn and re-
drawn to keep the ''ins" in and
the outs" out.
That Rockefeller did not see
fit to exert leadership in reform
ing this practice gave Mr.. Bailey
the opportunity he has long
sought. Unfortunately, Mr.. Bal
ley's prose almost tripped him
up.
In what the President once
called the Battle of the Mimeo-
graph Machines, Bailey comment
ed that the New York redistricting
was in the tradition of 1.-The robber
barons" and your grandad would
have been proud Of you, Nelson"
This caused an adverse reaction.
Rockefeller may have emerged rel
atively unscathed from this first
of what is the forerunner Of pol
itical brawls to come. But Bailey
will be back.

Church Overseas
Relief Program
Observed Sunday

An Overseas relief observ-
ance will be cited at the Asbury
M e h o dist Church, Sunday,
March IL, at the morning wor-
ship service with the collection
of a separate offering. Our
neighbors overseas are people
of all ages, many races, many
colors and with many needs.
They are victims of one kind
of disaster or another: ignor-
ance, poverty, civil strife, earth
quake, flood, famine and war.
The problem of food is one;
clothing and shelters are others.
So is the lack of equipment
with which to build new lives.
One potato, a loaf of bread, a
bottle of milk-the basic foods
which we take for granted
would be a real luxury to them.
How can we help? BY giving
generous support to the over
seas aid program of our relig-
ious faith. These programs pro-
vide help in many ways: Food,
clothing, homes, jobs, farm ma
chinery, tools, education and
training. Americas religious
overseas organizations are max.
ing these things available tc
those who need it. Our Coun-
try's Church-spo n sored pro.
grams provide more than sc
percent of all voluntary Am
erican overseas relief. The Pro-
testant Faith is making its ap.
peal this Sunday through One
Great Hour of Sharing. Remem.

to give, and give generously!
