of them went so far as to claim
that the Governor is finished"
as a major G. o. P. power.
The national leaders, on the
other hand, were worrying about
what this setback to Gov.
Rockefeller would mean for the
party.
Hoped For Big Win
They had been counting on
his rolling up a big majority in
New York next year and pull
ing in at least four new G. O.. P.
Congressman on his coat tail.
Now, they fear, the size of his
majority, or even his victory,
may be endangered.
If he were to be removed as
a contender for the 1864 presi-
Dental nomination, the ranks
of Republican prospects would
be thin, indeed.

Rockefeller Divorce Shocks
Republican Party Officials
b a Star staff Writer

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 18.-The
news of the impending divorce
of Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
of New York has given the
leaders Of the Republican Party
their worst shock since election
night Of 1860.
The announcement caught
National Chairman William E.
Miller and other top party Off
Gals at a Southern regional
Republican meeting completely
unaware. Mr.. Miller learned Of
it by phone only a few hours
before the news hit the press
association wires.
AS word Of the Rockefellers'
legal separation spread, the
concern it caused was evident
in the expressions and COM
ments Of the party officials.
Whatever their personal view
Of his policies. most of these
leaders have believed for
months that Gov. Rockefeller
was their party's most likely
standard bearer in the 1864
: presidential race.
All Agree on Disadvantage =.
without exception they re-
gard his impending divorce as
a political disadvantage in his
run fors reelection in New
York next year, in seeking the
presidential nomination in
1864 and in gaining election if
nominated.
The only differences are in
the answers to the lmponder-
able question-how much will
it hurt?
The corridors of the Atlanta
Biltmore Hotel. where the con-
ference is taking place, buzzed
today with arguments about
the extent of Catholics or fun
damentalist Protestants' feel
ings against divorce.
1t was reminiscent of the
debates on the effect of the
religious issue in the 1860 cam
paign, except that everyone
here assumed the bias in this
case would cut only one way,
that there would be no COM
pensating "pro-divorce" vote
to offset whatever political
losses the separation costs
Gov. Rockefeller.
Issue Hurt Stevenson
Most Republicans here said
) that Adlai Stevenson's divorce
hurt him in his 1852 and 1856
races against Gen. Eisenhower,
but again there was disagree
ment as to the extent of the
loss.
Some argued that Gov.
Rockefeller's divorce would be
more damaging than Mr.. Ste
venson's. because it comes at a
time when he is already a fig
ure of national prominence. Mr..
Stevenson was divorced during
his first year as Governor of
Illinois. before he became wide
ly known across the country.
There was an element of
Z irony in the national leaders
concern. because many of the
Southern Republicans pres
ent-strongly opposed to Gov.

eralism"-were barely trying to
conceal their glee at seeing his

Rockefeller
Explanation
StiIILacking

NEW YORK, Nov. Is CAP) q.
Reasons behind the an
nouncement by Gov. and Mrs.
Nelson A. Rockefeller that
they will be divorced remained
unexplained today.
The announcement yester-
day said the divorce would be
obtained outside New York,
where the only grounds for
divorce are adultery.
Mrs. Rockefeller will make
the divorce application, a
spokesman said. What grounds
she will give for the action
we're not known.
Political circles were puzzled
that. the Rockefellers an
nounced the breakup at a
crucial time in his career in
stead of attempting to cover
up their marital difficulties.
Came as Shock
Its godawful," said a long
time Rockefeller associate who
declined to be named. THE
whole thing came as a shock
and the first time I knew of
it was when I heard it on the
television."
The New York Post said the
initiative for the separation
and impending divorce came
from Mrs. Rockefeller and that
the Governor had hoped until
the last moment" to dissuade
her.
The New York Daily news
also reported that the initiative
came from Mrs. Rockefeller
who the paper said insisted on
the action lover the strongest
objections that her husband
and the Rockefeller clan could
muster"
However, the New York
Times said the governor took
the initiative and quoted a re-
liable source as having said
Mrs. Rockefeller agreed to the
separation reluctantly"
Mrs. Rockefeller was under
stood not to care for the tur-
MOL Of political life. But other
than that, which friends dis
counted as sufficient cause for
a break, the reason for the rift
was unknown.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-11-19
Some Signs Apparent

In hindsight, friends and as
sociates now recall they saw
signs of the breakup months
ago.
The Governor and his wife
last were seen publicly to-
gether the night of March 3
when fire severely damaged the
executive mansion in Albany.
The couple escaped down a lad
der.
Mrs. Rockefeller has not
lived in Albany since then.
But because of the extensive
repairs still being made on the
mansion her absence attracted
little attention.
III recent months, she had
not been travelling with the
Governor on his political trips
or to public affairs, as for in
stance the Republican State
Committee dinner here last
June.
However, she had undergone
what was described as a minor
operation earlier this year and
her absences had been at
tributed to a need for conva-
lescence and rest.
In Separate Houses
Gov. Rockefeller spent the
day on his estate at Pocantico
Hills near Tarrytown, N. Y.
Mrs. Rockefeller was under
stood to be staying at another
house on the estate, but there
was no positive word on her
whereabouts.
Gov. Rockefeller plans no pub
lie appearances until next Fri
day. He will fly that night to
Topeka, Kans. The next day he
will attend the Kansas-Missouri
football game at Lawrence,
Kans., and that night will attend
a Republican State Committee
Embarrassing dinner in Topeka.
He will fly back to New York
on Sunday.
Mr.. Rockefeller, So, and his
wife. the former Mary Tod
hunter Clark, 81, known as
Tod" to her friends, were mar
ried outside Philadelphia on
June %, 1880, a few days after
he was graduated from Dart
mouth.
Both families are wealthy
The Governor is the grandson
of the late John D. Rockefeller
who founded the Standard Oil
fortune. His wife's maternal
grandfather was George Rob-
erts, for many years president
of the Pennsylvania Railroad
The Governor and his wife
have five adult children ano
eight grandchildren.
