Americans. public political
attitudes across the Nation
have tended to shift toward the
moderate center" he said.
Accordingly. Mr.. Henderson
added. the Republican would
be likely to nominate a COM
promise candidate Of the mod
crate center such as Mr.. Nixon
or even Gov. Scranton of
Pennsylvania.
Walter r. Gambill Of Rich
mond, Virginia G. o. P. vice
chairman, said his position had
Senator Goldwater was the
strongest candidate and would
be nominated.
After the emotional shock
of the tragedy has subsidized
and Congress gets down to
business you will find President
johnson building his party in
the same new deal, fair deal,
new frontier theme-spend, tax
and elect" Mr.. Gambill
Nixon Seen Best
A. Linwood Holton, jr., Of
Roanoke, second vice chari-I
man, said Mr.. Nixon was the
best bet now and would get the
nomination. He expressed this
view on a non-attribution basis
in the first poll and asked not
to be quoted by name at that
time-prior to the November
elections for the General As
sembly.
Mr.. Holton, pointing to Mr..
Nixon's eye-laSh loss to Presi-
dent Kennedy, said the former
Vice President would be a.
better candidate on the attack
than he was on the defense
last time.
Virginia National Committee
man Nile Straughan Of Freder-
icksburg said now he feels the
nomination is up for grabs
among Senator Goldwater, Mr..
Nixon, Gov. Rockefeller or
some dark horse. Mr.. Strau-
CHAN. who couldn't see anyone
else but Senator Goldwater in
October, said his. change in
view was due ITO the unknown
influences probably now at
work on the outlook Of most
voters"
Mrs. Charlotte c. Giesen,
vice chairwoman for Western
Virginia, said she had feeling
that Senator Goldwater will
formally bow out Of the race.
But she said she thought he
was the strongest candidate
and could get the nomination
If he wanted it. In the event
Senator Goldwater is out, she
prefers Mr.. Nixon.
The party's other vice chair
woman, Mrs. Cynthia New
man of Falls Church, said she
felt the political climate in the
Nation was Ito fuzzy" to make
a prediction now. She said
President Johnson's perform
ance would have considerable
bearing on the decision of the
Republican convention.

Why won't people leave her
alone"
The nameplate in front Of
the oceanfront mansion where
Mrs. Kennedy and the children
are staying was covered with
adhesive tape, but that doesn't
stop people from slowing down
in front Of the secluded home.
Police wave on the tourists
and cars are not allowed to
stop. Some cars 60 past again
and again in hopes Of catching
a glimpse Of one of the family.
II have to be nasty, but
what do you do?" asked one
officer stationed in front Of the
home. 1--WE got orders =.
and people should respect pri-
vacy, particularly now"
Neighbors miss contacts they
used to have with the Kenne-
dyS.
Children Talk, Too
I'VE used to see the family
all the time. No one paid a lot
Of attention; they were just a
family. Now they can't even
come outside without a crowd
collecting. It's disgraceful,"
said one woman who lives near
the late Presidents father,
Joseph P. Kennedy.
Children of Palm Beach had
something to say, too.
A chubby 9-year-old said,
you know what? I've seen
Caroline lots of times. But she
can't come out anymore cause
Of all these people. Some of 'em
might hurt her, I guess"
Another neighbor, a boy
about Z, stood in front Of the
home several hours with a
camera. Last year, he said, he
waved to Caroline, but this
year, 81 can't even get to see
her"

officers and district chairmer
responding to a followup Asso-
ciated Press poll. But only q
third Of them now feel Senator
Goldwater will be the nomi-
nee of the Republican conven-
ton in San Francisco next
summer.
Richard NJ. Nixon, the 1860
candidate, apparently is getting
most Of the support that has
drained from Senator Goldwat-
er. He is running neck-and-
neck with Senator Goldwater
among those who offered pre-
dictions on who the candidate
will be.
There was nothing approach
ing the surge Of support for
Senator Goldwster that was
reflected in the october poll
when the Arizonan was regard
ed as a sure bet to take Vir-
ginia's vote - even by some
Democratic leaders-if he be-
came the party's presidential
nominee. But the assumption
then was that President Ken
nedy would be the Democratic
nominee. Answers to the De-
cember poll were based on the
assumption President johnson
will be the nominee.
"a Leaders POlIed
Twenty Of "a Republicans
leaders polled replied to the
October QUESTIONABLE. In a
mildly surprising approach to
unanimity, 10 of the 20 said
they felt Senator Goldwater
would make the strongest
candidate and 10 said they
thought he would be nominated.
One predicted it would be Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller of New
York. Another guessed former
Vice President Nixon would be
the nominee again.
Contrasted to this, Of the 19
replying to the December poll,
10 thought Senator Goldwater
was still the strongest candi-
date. Only six were willing to
predict he would be the nomi-
nee and three of these quail
fled the guess by saying "if he
wants it," Senator Goldwater is
to announce shortly
he intends to battle
for the nomination.
Five Of the 10 think it will be
Mr.. Nixon and four think he's
the strongest candidate at pres
ent. Chairman Harry Vaughan
of the southside 4th district
where Republicans are scarce
said he felt the strongest ticket
would be Senator Goldwater
and Mr.. Nixon but he now
thought the convention would
nominate Mr.. Nixon and Sena-
tor Goldwater.
Attitudes Seen Shifting
State Republican Chairman
Horace E. Henderson who
Senator Goldwater as
the strongest candidate in
October and predicted he
would be the nominee, now
feels Mr.. Nixon is the strongest
nationally but that Virginia is
still for Senator Goldwater.

President Kennedy by an act

RESENTED BY PALM BEACH
Tourists Won't Give
Kennedys Privacy

PALM BEACH, Fla. Dec. 81
(AP).-Residents Of Palm
Beach are doing all they can
this holiday season to give the
young widow of John F. Ken
nedy privacy and let her be
simply a citizen.
Old-timers Of the Palm
Beaches say they resent tour
lists making a fuss over the
former First Lady.
Palm Beach has always
been a private place." said a
newsstand tender who sold
newspapers to the late Presi-
dent. THE Kennedys put 1t on
the map as a tourist stop, but
that shouldn't change the
respect for privacy"
