Republican National Chair
man william z. Miller says
Senator Goldvater can win the
1854 nomination by sweeping
the contested presidential pri-
maries.
IF he wins all the primaries
he enters" Mr.. Miller told in
reviewers yesterday. Il would
hardly think the convention
could deny him the nomina-
ton"
The party chairman. q Rep
resentative from Niagara Falls.
N. Y, said his statement was
based on the assumption Sena-
tor Goldwater will enter a
representative group" Of pri-
maries. such as New Hamp-
shire, West Virginia. Oregon
Z and California.
. At present, he said, the
Arizona conservative has q Stz-
able lead over any rival, but
lacks support Of q majority OF
prospective delegates or Repub-
lican voters. So long as this
situation persists, the fight for
the nomination Is wide open, "
Mr.. Miller said.

ports reaching him indicate

shire, site of the first primary

alton can change" he said. III

Meantime, other Republican
sources said the current odds

the Republican convention as
. buildup for that battle.
These sources believe Sen
ator Goldwater has significant
support in all the fayorite-son
States but may jeopardize his
long-run interests If he decides
to challenge the favorite sons
for control Of their delega-
tons. In such States as Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and perhaps
Ohio. they believe, he is likely
to gain second or third ballot
support If he does not antag-
onize the local leaders by en-
tering his own states Of dele
gates.
Risk Of Deadlock
The risk for the Senator,
they concede. is that an over
abundance Of favorite sons
could produce q convention
deadlock, from which Richard
NJ. Nixon or some other dark
horse could emerge victorious.
Mr.. Nixon's best strategy. if
he wants the 1864 nomination,
is to continue his posture of
being available but not eager
for the job. these G. o. P. lead
ers believe. Any show Of open
ambition on his part-such as
permitting his name to go into
a presidential primary-would
stir the antagonism Of those
Republicans who still carry
bitter memories of his 1860
campaign.
AS for former President Els
enhower, these leaders believe
his personal preference for
the nomination is Gov. Rom
ney. But they are convinced
he has neither the wish nor
the capacity to exercise i'm
portant influence on the con-
vention choice and will sup
port whoever Is nominated.
Hopeful Of Final Victory
AS for the general election,
these Republicans are reason
ably hopeful Of making Mr.
Kennedy the first one-term
President since Herbert Hoov-
er. The Simmering civil rights
controversy, plus what Repub-
licans describe as failures in
foreign and domestic policy
make him vulnerable to an ag.
greSsive Republican campaign
they believe.
As now seen, Senator Gold
water Is the strongest chal-
lenger the @. o. P. could pre-
sent and the one most likely to
elect additional Congressman
But these sources concede that
the Senator's specific views on
foreign and domestic problems
have not yet had much critical
analysis. How well they would
Withstand q vigorous challenge

favor g Goldwater victory in
New Hampshire by an 8-5 mar
gin. However. these leaders ex-
pressed skepticiSm that Gov.
Rockefeller would quit the race
even If defeated in that pri-
mary.
This prospect, coupled with
the plans to run favorite sons
in a number Of key States. lead
them to predict that the Re-
publican nomination will not
be decided in fewer than two or
three ballots.
Among those now rated as
likely favorite sons by these
G. o. P. leaders are Gov. Will

Ohio, Gov. George Romney Of
Michigan. Representative John
ByrneS OF Wisconsin. and ex-
Representative Falter Judd OF

University Of Southern California
Christmas vacation is a
crucial time for the college
freshman. This is the period
during which the fainthearted
choose to run rather than to
stand and fight!
Dissatisfied and disillu-
stoned with college, they feel
their choice of subjects must
have been an unhappy one
since they are not interested
in doing all the work re-
quired to pass. So they give
up, oblivious of the fact that
months of hard work will be
required to offset a disastrous
semester, which will remain
forever a part of their col
lege records.
All on his own, Joe College
has decided that the work is
too difficult for him, that
he'd rather be Joe Dropout.
He has a rather hay feeling
about each of his courses. It
is hard for him to follow the
instructors lectures. The
whole thing seems to be con-
fusion. Even cram sessions
have failed to straighten out
the courses.
Parents and college coun-
selors stand helplessly by
while young people decide to
throw in the sponge and
leave college at the begin
ming of the vacation with no
intention of returning.
Neither is consulted before
the move.
Many Try Again
After some experience in
trying to make their way
without college tr aiming,
many of these students at
tempt to make a comeback.

such students during my

understand, although not
agree with, their decision to
walk away from the large
investment Of time and

made in the semester.
l could also see that the
whole colossal waste was
unnecessary and tragic.
These students had been
carefully selected as college
material. They were nearer
to success than they thought.
A few days of carefully
planned work during the
holidays can change such
a failure to success.
A Successful Plan
Over a period of years,
under the leadership of Dean
Harper Wren, counselors at
Long Beach City College
have worked out a procedure
which salvages more than
half Of the probationary

Any student following a

himself the pain of the long

STOP KILLING YOURSELF
Treatment Varies
For Shingles
BY DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHk

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: l
have often heard about shin
giles but never saw it until
my sister got it. My SYM
pathy goes out to anyone who
gets this disease because it
so painful.
Sometimes ago my sisters
face broke out. She went to
the doctor who diagnosed
shingles. He said it would
last six weeks and that there
is nothing that can be done
for it. 1t comes by itself and
goes by itself.
Some of the little broken
down blisters have converged
on her eye and it is inflamed.
Don't you think it needs some
treatment? He hasn't pre-
Scribed any.-MRS. S.
AS YOU KNOW shingles
(herpes zoster) is an infec-
ton, caused by a virus. 1t
attacks the spinal cord and
manifeSts itself by a break
out of the skin in the region
which the affected nerves
supply.
1t is true there is no Spe-
cific treatment. What works
for one won't help the next
patient. It is often a matter
of trial and error to find ef-
fective treatment.
However, two things are
important here. / think your
sister at least deserves to
have something to help con-
troll the pain and burning
sensations. Secondly, and
perhaps most important, l
believe she should be re-
ferred to an eye specialist
right away.
Don't delay. It is essential
that she have local treat
ment to prevent serious dam
age to her eye. Some pa
tientS feel better after six
weeks. But l have known pa
tients with shingles, espe-
cially in the region of an eye,
which was stubborn enough
to cause discomfort for
months.

CHAPTER |
KINGDOM OF POO

Once upon a time, in the
Kingdom Of Poo. there lived
three little children named
Jeremy, Sissy and Miss 10.
Jeremy was the most
grown up. He was 6. Miss
10 was the baby. She was
4. And Sissy was 5 and in
between.
One day, shortly before
Christmas, the children were
playing alone in their house
on Round Hill road. Their
father and mother were
away. They were lamp
makers and they had gone
to a nearby kingdom to sell
their wares. They left the
children in Jeremy's charge
for he was a responsible boy
and nearly always knew the
right thing to do.
After the parents had gone,
Jeremy and the girls played
games. They played hide and
seek. SardineS. Flinging stat
ueS. Follow the leader. ST.
mon says. And so on. They
played all the games Jeremy
could think of until finally he
ran out of ideas.
At this point there was a
knock at the front door.
Happy to have distraction
Jeremy rushed to open the
door.
Stranger Arrives
There was a man standing
there, tall and thin, his
shoulders dragged down by
two large suitcases he car
ried in his hands. He had
soft gray eyes and bushy
eyebrows and a sort of sad
smiling mouth. He seemed
very tired.
The suitcases he carried
were filled with books. The
