knew the man, or the sense of
loss for those who knew his works.
President Kennedy, who led the
Nation in mourning this congress-
ional titan and who attended the
funeral in Bonham yesterday,
spoke perhaps for most Americans,
Republicans as well as Democrats,
when he said:
"a strong defendant of con-
stitutional responsibilities of the
Congress, he had an instructive
understanding of the American
system and was a loyal coun-
sellor and friend of Presidents Of
both parties on the great matters
which affected our national in
terest and security"
Mr.. Rayburn will be sorely
missed by the Kennedy admin
stration as it girdS for a slam
bang legislative session in the
1862 election year. Many contro-
versial measures will be coming
up and the conservative South
ern Observation-Disclosures coali-
ton in the House makes the Dem
ocratic majority there more ap-
parent than real. 1t will take a
leader of great skill to steer ad-
ministration measures through the
obstacle-studded waters.
Talk of successor to Mr.. Ray
burn was going on. although the
formal selection will not be made
until January 10 when Congress
reconvenes.
At this point, the overwhelm-
ing favorite, and the logical man
by tradition and seniority, is Rep
resentative Mccormack of Massa-
chusetts, the majority leader.
Just as Mr.. Rayburn served as
Speaker every year since 1910,
except when the Republicans con-
trolled the House in 1947-48 and
1953-54, Mr.. Mccormack has been
majority leader. The two men
worked very closely together over
these years.

In addition the G. o. P. COM
pared the population ranges of
districts in New York and Cal
ifornia. Whereas in New York
the figures go from $4,000 to
470,000, the "inequitable" range
in California is from 100000 to
$4,000. I'm Democratic Texas

: Just what the ultimate effect
of redistricting will have on the
makeup of the House in 1868 is
difficult to say. The Republi-
cans believe that, overall, they
will benefit. If they do, and
should the usual rule apply that
the "out" party gains in the off
year election, control of the House
could be less onesided in the next
Congress.
The present lineup is: Demo-

five vacancies, including the one
caused by the death Of Sam Ray

McNomoro's Decision

Next year full-scale tests Of the
rocket are planned. A Zeus will
be fired from Kwajalein Island
in the Pacific against an Atlas
ICBM fired from a California
base. Whether Defense Secretary
Mcnamara will approve, as the
Army desires, major develop
ment and production program for

Sented to Congress in January,
or hold off q decision until the

ject Of major speculation at the
Pentagon.
The Air Force was cheered on
Friday when it successfully
launched a Minuteman TCBM
from an underground silo for the
first time. In its first attempt to
do so, last August, the solid-fuel
rocket exploded a few seconds
after ignition.

1t was an "an1icable separation, I"
a reliable source said.
MIR. Rockefeller has had little
home life in the last year or more.
He has been travelling constantly,
mostly in New York State. On
occasion, his wife accompanied
him.
Nevertheless, this development
could seriously damage Mr.. Rock
efeller's political future, not only
nationally, but in the State.
Traditionally, the American
voter has appeared to show a
preference for a married man. In
Dwight D. Eisenhower's first cam
paign, he often ended a speech
by saying, land now I would like
to have you meet my Mamie. Last
year, AUDIENCES usually called out
to President Kennedy, Where's

Stevenson Precedent
Political analysts believe that
the fact that Adlai Stevenson was
a divorced man hurt him in his
two bids for the presidency.
At the very least, Rockefeller
separation-coming at this par
ticular time-is likely to be a
handicap to him.
And it is by now means the
only one.
Others assert that he hurt Rich
ard M. Nixon's campaign last year,
and seriously damaged his own
position in the G. o. P. when he
issued a statement that said in
part:

GoIdwoteFs Criticism
The subsequent Nixon Rookie

characterized by conservative SEN
ator Barry Goldwater, Of Arizona

Senator Goldwater, like Mr..
Rockefeller, has been riding the
range, hell for leather, but preach
ing a gospel Of undiluted conserva-
tisnf. He made 400 speeches last
year. his aides say. His book, 1.-The

President" placardS at the 1860
G. o. P. convention. There may be
more in '64.
These are SOME Of the realities"
confronting the Governor today.
Two years ago, he learned the
hard way. In late 1859, he went
on two long trips around the
country, surveying the political
landscape with respect to the
G. o. p. nomination. AT first,
things looked encouraging.
He drew overflow crowds in a
number Of big cities. The rank
and-file reception, generally, was
warm to enthusiastic. The thous-
ands who queued up to shake his
hand saw an engaging figure. Mr..
Rockefeller has a sharply-etched
profile, wavy hair, electric blue
eyes, a Will Rogerish grin. His mil
lion-volt personality charmed the
citizens right and left. His I'M

standable language-an indica-
ton that he does his homework.
He seldom fails to tell the
threadbare jokes about his grand
father, John D. Rockefeller, and
the value Of q dime but the i'm
plication Of these anecdotes is that
he was brought up to believe in
the careful management Of money.
Similarly, it probably is no &C
cident when in answering a ques-
ton he prefaceS it by saying,
We'll, on these matters I like to
take the conservative ap-
proach :"
Toward the Middle
Observers, noting his recent &C
tons, suggest he is trying to move
away from a liberal" position
and get closer to the middle Of the
road. In their view this is a de-
veloping pattern designed to win
support from the conservative ele-
ments Of the G. o. P.
Il haven't changed" Mr.. Rock
efeller says.
He dismisses liberal" and CON
sentative" as meaningless political
labels today.
They came out of the 1930s,
he says. IF you were against the
New Deal, you were conservative.
If you were for it you were liberal
But today's problems can't be put
in the context of the 1930s.
II don't do something to be
conservative or liberal. I do what
1 think is in the best interests Of
the people"
He cites examples, notably some
legislation to put high-salaried
business executives in more ia
vorable tax position.

preston Of nominees.
One mans remark to him in q
receiving line was typical: Gov
ernor, you get on that ticket with
Dick Nixon and we can't lose"
Mr.. Rockefeller, of course, was
not interested in the vice presi-
dency. But as he went along, he
discovered that Mr.. Nixon's hold
on the @. o. P. leadership was I'M
shakable. And so. on December
81, 1859, he issued a statement
sprinkled with acid:
These trips have made it
clear to me-" it said In part, that
the great majority of those who
will control the Republican con-
vention stand opposed to any con-
test for the nomination"
Exercise in FutiIity"
Later, he was to call this early
bid IAN exercise in futility." Ac-
tually, he probably had more sup
port than his private polls showed.
In New Hampshire, for example,
even after he bowed out, Mr..
Rockefeller clubs hung on, hope
fully. A survey Of the State by
this correspondent indicated con-
siderable preference for Rookie
feller over Nixon.
If he was merely gifted
amateur in politics then, he looks
much sharper now, much more
formidable.
He speaks incisively and with
more authority. In informal meet
ings, he Is less relaxed but more

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y
African nations are demanding
in effect that the U. N. declare war
on rebellious Katanga Province
and actively help the central gov
eminent Of the Congo subdue
that territory.
This is startling and radical
proposal. 1t goes far beyond the
scope Of the bloodleSs coup which
the U. NJ tried unsuccesSfully to
stage In Katanga last September.
It could mean anything up to
U. N. air cover for an invading
army and co-ordinated ground OPP
erationS. 1t could mean a mini
allure Korea.
The Africans, Of course, be-
lieve that Noise Tshombe would
buckle long before full-scale war
became necessary. They insist
the job could be done by lesser
measures such as an arms en-
barge and forcible seizure of the
European mercenaries who run
his army.
Perhaps Tshombe would
buckle. But there is no guaran-
tee of 1t. He seems to have nine
political lives.
So the Africans are asking the
u. N. to face the possibility Of war
and authorize its army in the
Congo to fight if necessary.
The motive behind this de-
mand is understood here, and
ommands considerable SYM
pathy. The objective-a united,
viable Congo-is obviously desir-
able.
Some Questions Roised
But the method raises many
serious questions.
The U. N. army in the Congo
is a peace force, formed on the
clear understanding that it would
fight only in self-defense. Would
member countries contribute
troops another time If they knew
the rules might be changed in
mid-stream?
. The U. N. has Just signed
cease-fire with Katanga. Though
Tshombe has violated it, should
the U. N. tear It up?
. Does the U. N. have q legal
right to intervene in what amounts
to a civil war? Even when q civil
conflict has international roper
cussions-as the Congo clearly has
would not such Intervention be
a clear case Of interference In do
nestle affairs? Korea was a civil
war, in o sense, but the inter-
national implications were very
immediate and drastic.
What Of the precedent The
U. N. might conceivably wish to

intervene, say, in a Laotian civil
war, famed by Red China; but
suppose Fdel Castro of Cuba were
to call for help in Suppressing a
revolt Or Gen. Enver Hoxha Of
Albania?
How much effective control
does the central government ex-
ercise over its army2 Would that
army be a reliable ally? Should
not the U. N. retain freedom, as
in Albertville and Kindu this past
week, to act against central
government troops when they go
out Of control?
Is a successful war against
Katanga within the u. MS ply
steal power? Could the u. N, as
a practical matter, raise the men,
the weapons, the equipment? Who
would pay for them?
On practical, legal and political
grounds, therefore, the idea is
seriously questioned.
Alternatives Unpromising
Yet the Observation-Disclosures
ton of the Congo via negotiations
with Tshombe-seems equally I'M
promising.
Tshombe offered once again
last week, to go through the mo-
tons Of negotiation. But as Con-
golese Foreign Minister Justin
Bomboko commented, it is I'M
likely that he will actually come
to terms on any reasonable basis

NEW YORK.-The lady chair
man, introducing Nelson A.
Rockefeller at a Republican din
ner in upstate New York, looked
-srchly at him and said, a.. and
we may see our Governor go from
his present office to the highest
eminence in the land"
Applause ratified the coffee cups.
Mr.. Rockefeller's incandescent
grin, however, did not light up in
response. His expression was en-
igmatic when he rose to speak.
That's very NICE" he said, in a
dry. astringent tone, 'but let's not
let flights Of fancy carry US away
from the realities"
He then delivered a crisp, mat
ter Of fact speech about state
problems. A question: period fol-
lowed, as usual.
After that, he stood in the
lobby and shook hands with
everybody in the hall. Others
crowded in from the streets. He
scrubbed scores of autographs.
He chatted with those who wanted
to stop and chat. Quite a few
did.
He held an elderly woman's
hand in both Of his and said,
mice of you to come" warmly
-stressing the mice"
Then, hoarse and leg-weary, he
boarded his airplane. On the flight
TO New York City, he read reports,
,pencilled memos. signed papers.
It was about lis am, the end
of an 1S-hour day-and a not
tintypical day.
Perpetual Motion
For months, Mr.. Rockefeller has
been driving himself at this pace,
a man in perpetual motion.
In October, he made "a speeches
or public appearances. Once he
spoke in New York at noon and
in California the same night. He
races around the State attending
a town meeting" in the smallest
hamlet, discussing local prob
lens and answering questions on
street corners. He constantly
makes news fall-out shelters
-. a spectacular middle income
housing plan spanning one Of
the States great parkways
-. testimony in Washington on
behalf of the railroads.
This isn't an election year.
But in November, 1862, the vot-
ing machines will be clicking, and
the figures that come up will have
a direct bearing on the realities"
for Mr.. Rockefeller.
In 1858, he rolled up a plurality
Of $500. If he can win by a
wider margin next year, it will
give him a powerful lift toward
the Republican nomination for
President in 1864.
Littering his path between these
milestone years, 1862 and 1864, are
some other flinty political facts.
Some Republicans consider Mr..
Rockefeller too liberal" in his
PHILOSOPHERS, or even "socialistic."
Effect Of Divorce
Mr.. Rockefeller's impending d.
.vorce. announced Friday night, is
among the biggest.

sefeller public relations office in

and that a subsequent decree of

Il was advised that it would be
political suicide to sign that bill.
But I said that for the State to
achieve maximum growth we must
attract the best executives. II this
is a way to create jobs in New
York, then it's a good thing" he
said.
He points out that he has adj
Vocated granting tax concessions,
as well, to save commuter rail-
roads, and to keep them privately
operated.
Now" he asks, ARE such things
conservative or 'hberal'?"
The tax bill affecting executives
was not the first time he risked
what his advisors warned would
be political suicide. He says he in
herited a $500 million deficit from
the previous administration. The
only way to meet it, he contended,
was to raise taxes.
Tex Act Unpopular
Against all advice, he went
ahead and did so. 1t was one of
his first acts in office, and it cost
him considerable popularity. Some
hostility still SINNERS in the State
as q result.
But he says he put the State
on stable financial basis" and
says this is his greatest source
of satisfaction today.
He also expresses pride in the
rate of industrial growth in New
York under his administration.
Since 1859. he says, it has
amounted to IS billion in new
businesses and plant expansion,
and has created 100000 new jobs.
With some excitement. he spec
ifies the formula he says he used
to achieve fiscal stability.
First, stable tax structure on
a pay-as-ycu-go basis.
Next, with legislative and ex-
ecutive action you encourage a
climate favorable to economic
growth. This is the way to achieve
greater job opportunities.
Through this, you get con-
stantly increasing revenues-more
jobs, more earnings which per-
mits the State to meet its social
responsibilities toward a growing
population without further tax
increases.
Business, labor and govern
ment are interdependent. Achiev-
ing this delicate balance - well.
it's an exciting, fascinating thing
the sensitivity to what makes
our economic system tick.
TITS an unbroken circle, this
interdependence, which permits
you to approach full employment.
If any one part gets out of killer,
it's all out"
The individuals Role
The conversation returns to the
relationship between government
and the individual American.
THE welfare concept which
seems to worry Barry (Goldwater)
so much" Mr.. Rockefeller says,
sis not a welfare bandwagon for
everyone to climb on. see it as
a floor, below which nobody will
be allowed to fall, but with no
ceiling to prevent anyone from

Mr.. Rockefeller expresses a firm
belief in the American economic
system. He defines 1t as "the pri-
vate ownership of property and

Cash that Sievers was so badly outvoted.
