transportation

The Kennedy administration
is trying to round up new sup
port for its transportation pro-
gram.
Undersecretary of Commerce
Clarence D. Martin, jr., who is
coordinating the program, told
reporters yesterday that he had
conferred all week with repre-
sentatives of shippers, freight
forwarders, inland waterway
carriers, truckers and railroads.
Additional m ceilings are
planned for December with
spokesman for farm corpora
tives. pipelines, airlines and
labor unions in the transporta-
ton industry, he said.
Mr.. Martin denied a report
that the administration plans
to m axe any substantial
changes in the program. We're
going all out for the Presidents
program" he said.
President Kennedy outlined
the controversial program in a
message to Congress earlier this
year, and apparently intends to
press for necessary legislation
| in 1868. The program involves,
in part, proposals for reducing
Government regulation OF
transportation.
II don't know whether we
had any converts or not" Mr..
Martin said after the meetings.
The railroad industry en-
Enthusiastically supports major
parts of the program, but

Rockefeller Sees Self
As @. 0. P. "a Talent

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. / (AP).
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
says he includes himself when
he refers to the talent he be-
ieves the Republican Party
should develop in its effort to
capture the White House in
1864. --3
But Gov. Rockefeller told a
news conference yesterday:
ITS too early to discuss can
didates or situations relating
to 1854" .-
He declined repeatedly, at his
first news conference since he
won reelection, to indicate
whether he would seek the
G. o. P. nomination to oppose
President Kennedy in 1864.
Offering no specifics as to
how the G. o. P. should de-
velop talent, he said, I'm not
trying to mastermind the
party"
The Governor said he con-
sidered NATIONAL Chairman
William E. Miller the leader Of
the party.
Asked how he regarded for
mer Vice President Nixon. the
party's presidential candidate
in 1860, Gov. Rockefeller said
he understood that Mr.. Nixon
had withdrawn from top Re-
publican councils after being
defeated this month for Cover
nor Of California.
Gov. Rockefeller said he "felt
very badly for Mr.. Nixon and
for California. He would have
made an excellent governor, ="
Gov. Rockefeller commented.
The 54-year-old Rockefeller
emerged from his own re-elec-
ton victory earlier this month
as a leading prospect for the
COP. presidential nomination.
